Zanobia Tobacco smoking is always a pleasant, relaxing pastime. However, everyone wants to make this process a little better and more comfortable by resorting to various improvements, through experimentation. A cooling pipe for a hookah is one of the successful examples that really makes hookah smoking enjoyable and unforgettable.
Smoking a hookah with cold smoke is much more pleasant than with warm smoke — this fact has been confirmed many times. This is especially true in the warm season, when you want to relax without languishing in the heat. What could be better than a cooling hookah, especially if it is scored on fruit — it is difficult to imagine.
The cooled smoke gives tobacco a particularly fresh aroma, while softening it, which many hookah lovers will appreciate. In addition, the cooled pipe contributes to the formation of the greatest amount of smoke, giving a special charm to the hookah.
In order to get cold smoke, you need to use one or a combination of ways to get it. There are both ready — made solutions and life hacks – let’s figure out how to get chilled smoke.
Cooling Tube or Cooling Mouthpiece
Often many people pre-place the tube in the freezer to get the cooled smoke — this method is wrong. Plastic and leather hoses are not designed for such temperatures and often fall into disrepair after a short time. If you leave the hose in the freezer for a long time, it can crack and become completely unusable.
For these purposes, a special device was invented — a cooling mouthpiece. Most often it is a modified mouthpiece of a non-standard shape, inside which a special cooler is built in. When the smoke is drawn, it will cool down by passing through the mouthpiece, giving you a pleasant cold smoke. The mouthpiece cooler is pre-cooled in the freezer for 30-60 minutes, while it lasts for 1.5-2 hours of continuous use.
However, there is also a more elegant analogue that completely imitates a standard mouthpiece. Usually a special glass mouthpiece is used for these purposes, but sometimes a complete imitation of a classic mouthpiece comes across, in which there is a capsule for coolers. For such a cooling mouthpiece, miniature cooling cartridges are used, which perform their task similarly to a cooler.
The cooling cartridges freeze quickly (about 15-20 minutes), but they are enough to keep them for a short time — about 30 minutes. To do this, it is recommended to have 2-3 batches of cartridges in order to alternately change them without getting discomfort when smoking a hookah.
Adding Ice to the Flask
Many people have probably heard about this old method and many people think of it first. This method is ingeniously simple, and most importantly — the most accessible of all. Ice can be obtained without any problems, armed with an ice mold, water and a freezer — that’s why this method is so popular.
However, it is worth remembering the rules that should be followed. When ice is added, the shisha flask can get seriously damaged:
- temperature difference;
- physical damage.
In order to prevent this, it is necessary to gradually lower the temperature of the flask by adding water to it and only then throw ice. Thus, the flask will not suffer from the impact of ice on the bottom, due to falling into the water, and the temperature of the water in the flask will decrease gradually. In addition, it is recommended to use purified water and ice to avoid possible problems — safety first of all.
