Benefit of smoking from water pipes is that they provide smoother hits than hand pipes and rolling papers. They are the most popular way to smoke herbs, as it provides a level of relaxation that is much beyond comparison with the one you get from other traditional smoking implements. In water pipes your smoke is filtered through a water system. This percolation removes the unwanted nasty substances that are associated with smoke and provides you a perfect smooth hit. But even after filtration, for many people the smoke created is still too harsh. So let’s see the implements that help to make smoke even smother.
Ice catchers are awesome features that allow you to add ice cubes to your pipe. The ice catcher holds the ice just above the water and the added ice cools down your smoke. Ice is a brilliant way to cool hot smoke making it condense to create a more powerful hit. It also makes it easier to inhale, especially for those with sensitive throats or lungs. This gives users an extra layer of cooling before the vapor reaches the mouthpiece. Some water pipes include a formation as part of their tube design to hold ice. This pinch holds the ice in the part of the pipe, right before the point of inhalation and gives you the best cooling effect.
Ice catcher is a very nice way to cool smoke, but it has a drawback as well. When using ice in an ice catcher, the unavoidable melting will cause the water level to rise. This impacts the cooling functionality of the water pipe and increases the chance of getting water splash in your mouth. So, is there any other way to get smoother hits? Yes indeed. Glycerin coil or glycerin chamber is a great add-on to water pipes to cool down your smoke with ease. It is a freezable glass piece that can be detached and re-attached to your water pipe. Simply put this in your freezer for about an hour and let the glycerin get nice and cold. Like an ice-catcher, these coils cool down your smoke. Other than that the twisting tubes inside reduces the debris associated with smoke.
