One of the great questions of life-
    #5821604 - 07/04/06 10:07 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

or at least my life. This is one of those questions that I've been asking myself for a long time, but never found the answer for:

What is the purpose of the ice notches in the bottom of the bong? I've put ice in my bong without the notches plenty of times without any unpredictable results. The way I see it, those notches would actually PREVENT the ice from getting into the water at the bottom and cooling the water down. is this not the goal? Is the ice really meant to stay in the top portion of the bong?

Someone who knows, please let me know. I can't take this nagging curiosity anymore.

The reason those notches are there is so that you DON'T put water into the bong. Thus, the smoke passes around the ice, cooling it but not reducing its potency. It is generally accepted that passing smoke through water dilutes it somewhat.

Of course, I could be talking out of my ass. But that is what makes reasonable sense to me.

with my bong i crush ice for the water...then put cubes in the top portion. the colder the better.

The notches just keep the ice suspended so the smoke gets cooled more when it passes by. I still prefer to just put the ice inside with the water so I don't think I'd buy a bong with ice notches.

I like the ice notch's. I use both parts the water on the bottom works as a filter and then the ice notch's catch the ice and cool the air (making it smother) and allows you to take in more smoke :smile: hehehe if you want to see something really cool check this out.
