Hot water bong.

So I read some time ago somewhere on the interwebs that using hot water in a bong is smoother than ice/cold water. The reasoning was that the water vapor keeps your throat from drying out and you'll cough less, or not at all. Sounded legit to me so I tried it, and I found it enjoyable. I wouldn't say it got me higher, but there was a nice warm feeling to the hits. Most of my friends think I'm trolling them though.
I think it's nicer personally, but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts.

I smoke joints, but ice filled bongs destroyed me back in the day.

Yessir I've used hot water bongs when sick before. I don't usually, but it's nice every once in a while. Ice bongs are great too though.
to be honest though they all get you high so

hot water sucks in a bong, they don't just make ice catches and percolators because they look cool.
I live in a desert, my buddy only smokes outside, his bong sits practically in the sun and its soo foul I usually pass.

Bongs were my apparatus of choice back in the day and I had my most intense sessions using them. I feel that I may have hit it too hard using the bong though - I now happily vapourise. I eventually used ice to try to reduce the harshness but I like the idea behind the hot water/vapour and would be curious to try it.

When i have no more ice in the house, and theres no snow outside, i have been known to occasionally do "steamer" rips, which is what we call hot water in the ole bong. I find it nice on occasion and I do find it slightly more soothing than regular old room temp water.

They do all get you high, and yeah I've been sick the past few days and that steam...

You can still use a perc with hot water. Living in a desert I can imagine not wanting more heat though.

I've yet to use snow in my bong. I do want to try it though. Sounds rather... Canadian.

A major factor in the smoothness is how much water you pull through and how small the bubbles are. I invented the tubeless bubbler which is just a long tube with a bend and a bowl at the end. The water sits in the angle of the tube and you get a hit that is almost as harsh as a regular pipe. I also made a super bong that pulled through three feet of water. Super smooth hit. You can get a real smooth hitting pipe if you make a big bubble and weld on a long stem. It hits as smooth as a bong. I'd invest in one of those lab grade bongs from Roor, I think it's called. It really mixes the smoke with the water and should give you a super smooth hit. I like room temperature water and change your water frequently. Also cleaning the bong with alcohol keeps the hit smoother.

I agree with sunshine , the more water the smoke filter through the smoother the hit . I don't like airy pipes or when it's not packed properly . Too tight and you don't get a hit , too loose and it's harsh IMO . A clean bong is a happy bong

I don't want a bong to be anything other than room temp.
I find bongs kind of gross. The thing stinks, the water gets gross quickly if you don't change it religiously, and most of the bongs I've had allow small droplets of bong water to get in my mouth and on my lips. The only use a bong had for me was to cool off the smoke and allow me to take massive hits. These days I have a pipe with a long stem, the smoke is cool when I get it and I don't want huge hits anymore - the shit I have works fine with little tiny hits.

My favorite smoking device is my Erlenmeyer flask bong. It's got a (shockingly) flask shaped bottom that's pretty stable. It's neck is long so I've never pulled water through. Changing the bong water isn't really a big deal. I mean how long does it take maybe 30 seconds?
I actually prefer my bong to my pipe, because it's easier to clean than the pipe. They both accumulate the same black resin inside and since my bong has straight sloped (as opposed to round) sides I can scrape it clean with a knife and hot water when I don't have alcohol. It's harder to get at a pipe.
I really want a long stemmed pipe. I'd be concerned about breaking it though, I'm pretty clumsy.

Come to think of it, I did fuck one of my lungs pretty hard one night while rippin' bowls. Just felt scorched and dried out. Once the 12 minute coughing fit left me I was high as balls though.

Get the long stemmed pipe. I don't use mine nearly enough (the bowl is a little deep) but it's amazing. I'll post a photo of it later.

It fucking hurts. It hadn't happened in the longest time, and it was probably the worst, and I was actually scared I'd done some very heavy damage.

Can't wait. 
One of my friends has this pipe with a bowl so deep you can light scorched earth and it still gives good hits. He's usually the only one that survives that long though, the rest of us tap out. I feel like it's replacing joints more often now because it's so easy and everybody gets torched.
Plus the glassblower was so late getting it to him he got it at a discount.

Trust me, in the cold winter being surrounded by air at -30 C°, who wouldn't die for some hot bong hits... 
Whether it's more detrimental to your health or not I cannot say.
