Maybe I'm just crazy, or maybe my tastes are eccentric, but I really just prefer hot water in my bong compared to icy cold water. My reasons are thus:

1. The warm hit soothes my throat humidifier style, providing a more mellow feeling hit.
2. The higher temperature of the smoke actually seems to aid the size of the rip, instead of impede it as every one seems to think.
3. You can make refreshing teas, like chamomile, peppermint, or whatever other delicious flavor. Not only does this taste awesome, mint tea can help your throat if you are sick.
4. Most importantly: FLAVOR! just try the bong with really hot water with the best tasting weed, you'll see what I'm sayin.bongsmilie

Now, without :cuss:, speak up on why I'm crazy, what your favourite method is, or if you tried this just cause (especially the tea) and wanted to agree... :peace:

Hot water bong rips are the best when you're feeling sick.
Cold water makes harsh nasty tasting hits in my experiences. I like suspended ice though, some bongs are specially made for this purpose, and they're awesome!

Otherwise just room temperature water, usually.

here's how I think it works . .

cold = most compressed smoke, most smoke.

hot = smoothest smoke, most filtered due to the higher temp of the water and increased solubility of carcinogens and bad shit.

Ok, I'm going to try this out in many different variations. Should I put ice along w/ my hot water??? How hot do you recommend, coffee hot?

eh, it would probably be room temp or slightly above room temp before dropping a little bit (depending on how much ice you put in that.) don't really see the point of putting ice in hot water.

I'm not mixing the ice w/ hot water haha... I'm using hot water, then the warm humid smoke cools through the ice as it goes up the catch. I actually took a hit of it, and I think I taste it a bit more, but that could just be the placebo affect kicking in lol

Why would you want to put yourself through that? Taste like shit and ruins the taste of the weed.

On another subject....I live in the city so the water always has that chlorine smell and taste. I've been living in the city for a while so I can barely taste it but has anybody noticed a different taste when using filtered water vs city tap water?

That is a very good point, but I have to say I seem to get far bigger, cleaner rips off a hot bong...

In terms of temp, coffee water is perfect, but obviously be careful.
As to the variations, you can put in some fruit juice (vapors will carry flavor), coffee, caramel cider, whatever. any more ideas?

let the water sit for a couple days and the chlorine will disappear.

and as for the subject of the thread, I'm a firm believer in hot water. It's the shit.

I tried it. Very nice in the winter, I like taking the mini bong outside and ripping a few with hot water when it is cold outside.

I would have to say in general I like COLD COLD hits. I am talking chilled water with crushed ice in the base and a few cubes on top of the ice catcher.
