Freezable Smoking Gear
Chilling with glycerin
Blazing up was never more chill
Paraphernalia is the unsung hero of the cannabis world and freezable smoke wares are a perfect example why! The head shop industry started with literally nothing but underground goods and survived years of potential punishment just to innovate cool new tools!
Of course, the idea of cooling smoke before inhaling goes all the way back to the dawn of civilization! That’s why choosing the best new take on cool cannabis, like glycerin, gives you a ton of different options. Let this Dankstop Guide take you into the cold world of weed.
Why we cool smoke
There are a lot of reasons why so many smokers prefer chill hits whether packing bowls or slurping up fat slabs of dabs. First and foremost is the heat; the hotter the smoke (~300º+ after water filtration, 400º+ in a hand pipe) the harsher the hit.
Because chilling smoke condenses water molecules, many feel chilling hits helps avoid the cough zone. Like your warm breath hitting a cold morning, that condensation means you pack more herb in a smaller hit. So, chilling weed can get you more high.
The air in your lungs contains water molecules that condense to water droplets (or even ice crystals) if the air outside your body is colder. The opposite is also true- breathing in colder condensed air expands in your lungs, if you were to hold it in for a minute. Otherwise, no cough.
How we cool smoke
Length of the pipe is the first way to affect the cool of cannabis. But, water has been used to chill weed even further since the dawn of time. Excavated treasure troves from ancient civilizations are filled with bongs of all kinds, so our ancestors obviously liked cooler smoke too.
Innovative pipe designs also add to the cooling factor of vapor and smoke. Paraphernalia has exploded in the last decade because of technology and artistry. Everything from ice catches to dimple technology to freezable glycerin-filled smoke wares now improve an ancient practice.
