We’ve all been there: someone swears that dropping a few ice cubes in a bong makes the smoke smoother. And sure, it feels cool at first — but then the coughing starts.
Here’s why: when that ice-cold smoke rushes into your lungs, it doesn’t stay cold for long. As it warms up inside your body, the gases in the smoke rapidly expand, creating pressure and irritation. That’s why “ice hits” often feel harsher than normal ones.
On top of that, melting ice adds unwanted moisture — which can lead to mold or bacteria if your gear isn’t constantly cleaned. And ice doesn’t filter out resin or ash, so you’re still inhaling the same harsh particles.
So if ice isn’t the answer… what is?
Why Path Length Makes All the Difference
The real key to gentler hits isn’t about freezing smoke — it’s about slowing it down.
When smoke takes a longer path before it reaches you, it naturally:
-
Cools down to a comfortable temperature
-
Diffuses particulates like resin and ash
-
Settles so it doesn’t feel like a hot blast hitting your throat
Think of it like walking back from a campfire: close up, the heat burns; a few steps away, it feels just right.
The Maze-X Difference
That’s the exact science behind our Maze-X Pipe. Instead of ice or water, it uses a patented maze-like design that forces smoke to travel further, cooling it naturally as it winds its way through.
That means:
-
Smoother hits without the cough
-
Cleaner taste, since the maze helps trap resin and ash
-
Less hassle, no water or ice to mess with
Thousands of smokers have already swapped the “ice trick” for smart design — and the feedback is the same: “This is how flower is supposed to feel.”
Bottom Line
Ice might sound like a quick fix, but it often makes hits worse. Path length is what truly matters — and once you experience it, you won’t want to go back.

"The best cannabis delivery device! I have spent thousands of dollars on various cannabis delivery devices for the many different forms available today. This incredible device provides the smoothest smoke with the most efficient burn leading to most pleasant buzz. No other device or type is needed. They are all a waste of time and money. The maze X is the only device a cannabis user will ever need."

"Best little 'whatchamacallit' in recent history. I bought the starter kit and I gotta say, the small and medium are just incredible. The small one works great with regular joints. I have been experimenting with cannagars recently and have been making 'cigarillo' sized cannagers and the medium tip is just the perfect size for it. I plan to start making fatter cannagars shortly and I believe the large will be just right for the largers sized ones. The extra large, I'm not quite sure I'll find a need for it as it is really quite large. I assume, as the pictures show, that the extra large tip would work great on some pipes and possibly small bongs. Really a great little gizmo."
