Warm Or Cold Water Preference

[A13lackFish]

I personally like it hot the smoke seems to run smoother and i find it brings out a good bit more taste in the smoke. Also seem to take larger hits. how about you?

cold faucet water for me...i used to do the whole ice thing but its not really worth it for me anymore. Once i even went to the extent to freeze my hookah into a tub of ice

lmao about freezing the entire base... yeah i use to ice and never found it to be to any extend worth while unless the base had a specific spot for cubes without falling into the water.

[Whats a KM?]

You can only make the story better then that if you had frozen candies waiting for you upon melting lol
Either way awesome and a +1 in my book lol

[Chreees]

I use cold tap water...

Be careful putting ice in your vase, or freezing it. Extremes of hot or cold will cause the vase to crack.

[Capt. Morgan]

Usually not picky but if its hot and I'm outside I like to use cold water.

[nars2k]

I usually just put cold tap water, but if Im not lazy I drop in ice cubes.

[LJTPerry]

I honestly have never noticed any special difference in using ice cubes other than the sound. I generally use fresh, cold tap water, but I have not tried anything warmer than room-temperature water. What sorts of differences can it make?

That was my biggest fear when i froze my vase but when i filled it with water id just add a little at a time to help ease the temp difference between freezing and cold. Also I should prob mention i may or may not have been under the influence when i decided to freeze it lol...seemed like a great idea at the time but got a little tedious after 2 weeks

[agunn1231]

I usually have typical cold water fromthe fridge water dispanser, sometime i put ice in the hookah. if i'm being really lazy i just use room temperature water.

[Jeff_T]

Usually use room temp tap water...

[Venger]

whatever come out of the tap. Ice has made no difference. I do use warm when I smoke cappuccino. It makes it more like warm coffee.

so generally this seems to be a straight win for cold. Edited March 16, 2010 by A13lackFish

The warmer the water the warmer the smoke. Try it. Last summer I accidentally added warm water into the base, and the smoke was really warm compared to what I was used to. So we took the top stem off, and I filled the vase with cold. We didnt purge the stem/hose either, so the first pull was the warm smoke followed by a blast of cool smoke. I will never do hot water again.

[Yeags777]

I noticed a slight difference in my sessions between regular faucet water vs adding ice cubes. Not a significant enough one to do it regularly.

[Philmatic]

Ice cubes with normal tap water from the cold side of the faucet, or no ice if I'm feeing lazy

[Codename067]

Warm water is so nasty.

Usually either room temperature water, or ICE water on warm days..the hot days are creeping up on Cali!

[ryno]

Usually cold/room temp for most shishas. Warm for Tangiers

[dagman]

I smoke mostly through cold with crushed ice. in the winter i have covered the base in snow and one time i burried my hookah into the chest of a snow man.

[Joel]

Depends on the shisha for me. If it's a mint or fruit: ice. If it's choc or tea: warm.

[TheyCallMeDave]

Like most, just cold tap. I'll fill my bowl while I let the tap get nice and cold. I used to use ice, but a couple hookahs I have have a narrower top, and I have to crush it to fit it in. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No. Not working that hard. Haha. Toooooo lazy.
