Water pipes are the choice of many smokers because typically, smoking through a water pipe is a lot less harsh. In water pipes hot, dry, smoky air is cooled down by the water before it reaches you. Still there are many smokers out there, even after running smoke through percolators, believes that the smoke created is still too harsh. For those who require the smoothest possible hit, there are ways to make the smoking experience more pleasurable. The percolators and ice-catchers obviously provide smoother smoking experience, but a device that combines the two is the Glycerin Coil.
Glycerin coil also known as condenser coil, is a freezable glass piece that can be detached and re-attached to the bong. It is as an attachment that has coils or holes that the smoke can travel through providing a cooling effect. These coils are glass chambers filled with liquid glycerin and they have coils inside that allow smoke to pass through. Several glass manufactures use the glycerin coil in their premium water pipes and majority of them are detachable.
Glycerol, more commonly known glycerin, is a simple colorless ingredient that is made from sugar alcohol. Glycerin has an extremely low freezing point. This thick liquid substance can withstand extremely low temperatures without freezing and expanding which makes it extremely useful to the functional glass industry. This liquid solidifies into a gummy paste at freezing temperature and has a high boiling point. Ice in ice catcher will eventually melt into your bong and raise the water level. But on the other hand glycerin will stay frozen in your bong for hours and hence the best option to cool down your smoke.
Glycerin coil utilizes these unique characteristics of glycerin for cooling down your hit. They are positioned on the neck of bongs above the chamber. Similar to an ice-catcher, glycerin coils cools down your smoke. Additionally, the winding tube inside the coil further soothes your smoke by reducing the debris. These coils do have to be frozen before use. The high boiling point of glycerin makes it perfect to withstand the heat of the pipe and at the same time keeps a cool interior. Glass blowers use many ways to create more surface area for smoke to travel through in the glycerin chamber.
Overall, a glycerin coil is worthy investment if you are looking for smoother, cooler hits. Many of the glycerin coils on market are very affordable as well.
