I've always liked using warm water for the mist effect (steamy), though I've heard so many swear by icy water for its smoke cooling effect (though warm water does this too, technically) Just wanted to see what y'all think.

Cold no doubt. What do you mean by the mist effect? The cold water will help alot cooling the smoke making it less harsh. I've recently started to add ice and it also helps. Emptying the bong of the excess water when the ice starts to melt is a pain though.

Warm/hot water leaves a watery mist in the bong, which I find to feel less harsh than the results of cold water. Also a big plus when you gotta toke outside in the winter. Then again I could be nuts since I've also poured hazelnut coffee in the thing.

It still cools the smoke, but the steam keeps you from coughing and shit... surprised people haven't tried it, it's very smooth.

Hahaha hazelnut coffee, that's a first. Friends and I had our bong in the car when I was younger, and we had to use McDonalds sweet tea and vitamin water. It wasn't bad, but I didn't necessarily enjoy it.

As far as cold or hot water, my vote is cold. I have yet to try hot water, but I plan on trying that soon!

when u think about it, steam helps with deconjestion, like a vape rub, it opens up ur airways, so i guess u could say that heat helps with getting a better hit, but cold ice water helps also with harshness and coughing. i vote ice water.

i like my h2o cold, ice cold if possible. my theory is that the colder the water the more it will cool the smoke, which makes it more dense, which means i can get more into my lungs in one hit. hot water turns to steam up the next of my bong too much and chokes me when i hit it.

Ill try warm water tonight - afraid of burning my hand...

I usually like it freezing cold.

Fill an ice tray 1/4 full of water (small ice-cubes) Freeze

Take a cup and fill it with big ice cubes and fill with cold water to prechill the water so you dont melt all of the small cubes.

Slide the small ice cubes down the tube and fill the bottom of the bong to your water level that you like (where the water goes)

Pour the ice cold water to desired level - and fill tube with ice if it has a ice catcher.

Not only do the small cubes keep the bong water cool but it also serves as a percolator like those roor marbles (but they are free and you dont have to clean them).

I've always found it gross when my buddy's and I were smoking and the bong water got warm, I couldn't imagine it hot. Maybe I'll try it but ice water is the shit.:) bongsmilie
