Smoking less harsh smoke is always way better than hot and dry smoke, good for your lungs, better smoking sessions with no coughs. Water pipes are the pieces that offer nice and smoother hits compared to hand pipes and rolling papers. As smoke is filtered through a water system, debris in smoke are filtered out, providing a perfect smooth hit. For those who require the smoothest possible hit, there are many ways to make the smoking experience more pleasurable. Especially, colder the smoke, smoother and pleasant the smoking will be. There are many popular ways to cool the smoke before you inhale, let’s go through some of them.

Percolator: The main functions of percolators or in short percs are to filter out nasty substances in the smoke, making it less harsh to inhale. Percolator forces smoke to go through water. They use the very basic way of cooling hot smoke by dispersing heat in liquid. It diffuses the smoke in different directions, providing the smoke a larger surface area to interact with as much water as possible. This cools down the smoke as well as filters it out. Many smokers see percolators as the best ways to cool the smoke, to get cleaner hits. There are number of choices in percolator styles and designs, each one with its own pros and cons.

Ice catcher: These are the classic ways to cool the smoke, simply using the ice cubes in your freezer. . Ice is a brilliant way to cool hot smoke making it condense to create a more powerful hit. They are awesome features that facilitate a way to add ice cubes to your water pipe. The ice catcher holds the ice just above the water and the added ice cools down your smoke. To make sure that the ice is always ready, there are even plastic ice cubes meant for water pipes, made of none toxic plastic available on market. . Its major drawback is the unavoidable melting which will cause the water level to rise. This increases the chance of getting water splash in your mouth.

Glycerin coil: Also known as condenser coil is a freezable glass piece that can be attached to water pipe. These coils do have to be frozen before usage. They are glass chambers filled with liquid glycerin and in turn they have coils inside that allow smoke to pass through. Glycerin liquid has an extremely low freezing point. It solidifies into a gummy paste at freezing temperature and has a high boiling point. This liquid stays frozen in your water pipe for hours and hence one of the best option to cool down your smoke. These coils, filled with glycerin, retain the chill much longer than ice would. As the air travels down the coil’s spiral path, the cool glycerin around it rapidly cools down the smoke, allowing a smooth intake. Additionally, the winding tube further soothes your smoke by reducing the debris.

Diffuser beads: These are tiny little plastic beads which cool down smoke by adding more surface area, acting as a percolation chamber to break up the smoke before it reaches your mouth. These small reusable beads go into the water in the base of the water pipe. While inhalation, these beads make lots of bubbles that cool the water down and reduce the harshness of your smoke. Diffuser beads are usually made of high grade plastic and so are nontoxic and safe. This makes them one among best ways to cool the smoke.
