Smoke can be harsh on the lungs and throat, whether you are using a bong or another smoking device. In search of a smoother and easier inhale, many people have used ice cubes in their smoking device to “cool” the smoke.
Ice cubes are thought to cancel the harsh heat of the smoke, and therefore prevent coughing and the burning sensation in the throat. But is that really the case?
It is time to break down whether or not ice really is effective at cooling smoke and providing a smoother and less painful smoking experience.
DO ICE CUBES ACTUALLY COOL WEED SMOKE?
There is no doubt that ice certainly reduces the temperature of smoke before it enters your lungs. By simple rules of contact, the smoke will undergo a noticeable temperature difference. But before you go putting ice in your bong or other smoking device, you might want to consider the heightened negative health implications of doing so.
As it turns out, using ice to cool smoke actually does far more harm than good. Smoking from an ‘ice bong’ has actually led to hospitalization in some cases.
CAN USING ICE CUBES TO COOL SMOKE CAUSE BRONCHITIS?
Using ice cubes to cool smoke has caused bronchitis along with a long list of other lung-related issues. Respiratory illnesses and even chronic respiratory diseases are far more common in the winter season, as a result of the cold air. When cold air hits the lungs and throat, it increases bronchial inflammation, which is what starts bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses.
Those who smoke using ice cubes in a bong or other device are cooling the vapors of the smoke, creating a ‘winter season’ sensation in their lungs and throat. Scientists believe that some of the vapors are so cool as to be frozen when the hit the important respiratory organs of the body. This can cause serious organ stress and inflammation (which leads to respiratory illnesses).
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COOL SMOKE FOR A SMOOTHER SMOKING EXPERIENCE?
If you, like many, are looking for a way to create a smoother smoking experience without getting bronchitis or some other ice-induced illness, there are a number of things you can try. The heat exposure from smoking can be tough on the throat and lungs, but here are some ways you can reduce it.
1. Smoke Cooling Pipe – MAZE-X Pipe
The best method to experience a smoother inhale is with a real cooling weed pipe – and no, we are not talking about ‘ice-bongs’ here.
Weedgets’ MAZE-X Pipe is specially designed for those in search of unprecedented smoke smoothness. Inside this incredible pipe is a coughless technology, which drastically cools the smoke, removing hot resin and tar so your throat, tongue, and lungs don’t feel the burning sensation.
The smoke cooling technology comes in the form of a ‘maze’ pathway inside the pipe, which automatically purifies, cleans, and cools the smoke before it even reaches your mouth. Taking the cooling and cleaning of smoke even further, the removable filter at the end of the pipe helps to prevent resin and hot tar from entering the mouth. This has the double effect of preventing heat while also protecting against germs and viruses that can occur when sharing pipes.
The materials of the MAZE-X Pipe are also optimized to give you the smoothest smoking experience you’ve ever had. Outfitted with medical-grade silicone and aircraft grade hard anodized aluminum, the body of the pipe is built out for additional smoke cooling and is even cool to the touch.
If you are looking for a cooling weed pipe, you can’t go wrong with the MAZE-X Pipe. Its unique technology has allowed it to become the smoothest hitting pipe on the market. It’s easy to clean, easy to use, and even easier on the lungs and throat.
2. Slower Draws and Half-Hits
While the best way to guarantee a smoother smoking experience is with a coughless pipe like the one mentioned above, there are still some important tips and tricks to keep in mind for smoking in general.
Many people, especially starting out, will try to inhale as fast as possible from their pipe or joint. A fast inhale will result in a harsher hit for the lungs and throat. It can shock your body and cause you to experience uncontrollable coughing, not to mention the burning sensation in your throat. As a general rule, it’s best to take slower draws or even half-hits. That way, you won’t be doubled over coughing up a lung after every inhale.
3. Stay Hydrated
Water is usually the first thing people turn to after experiencing a harsh hit from a joint or pipe, and there is a reason for that. It can soothe the throat and lungs while smoking, acting as a remedy for the harsh effects on the respiratory system.
It’s also worth mentioning the ‘Cotton Mouth’ effect that smoking can have. The hot, dry smoke from a joint or pipe can actually cause you to feel dehydrated, drying out your mouth and throat. It’s not a bad idea to have water on standby during any smoke-sesh.
4. Practice
We all remember our first smoking experience… we also all remember coughing up both lungs afterward. With time and practice, your ability to handle the smoke will increase, and the experience will become smoother and more enjoyable.
A CONCLUSION ON ATTAINING A SMOOTHER SMOKING EXPERIENCE
The best way to guarantee a smooth, and even coughless smoking experience is with a coughless pipe. The MAZE-X Pipe is specially designed to provide the smoothest, most enjoyable smoking experience possible. It serves as the optimal substitute for using ice to cool smoke, and doesn’t cause any of the negative effects associated with using ice.
The heat, tar, and resin from smoke can definitely be harsh on the lungs and throat – we’ve all felt it. But with the right technology in a coughless pipe, and some better smoking practices, you’ll be on your way to a smoother smoking experience in no time.

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."
