Glycerin Coil Pipes

A Glycerin coil is a freezable liquid that won't become solid. These pipes are specially built to house this chillable liquid, which keeps your pipe's airflow nice and cool. When smoke passes through the glycerin coil, it is chilled and delivers a much smoother, less hot hit of smoke. 

What is Glycerin?

Glycerin is a non-toxic liquid derived from fatty acids, commonly used in food as a sweetener or preservative. It's also well-known for its moisturizing properties in soaps. Because of its high melting point and gel-like texture when frozen, glycerin works great as an alternative to ice in bongs. It stays frozen longer and doesn't melt away quickly like ice. Plus, it freezes faster, so you won’t have to wait as long as you would with an ice tray.

Why is glycerin used in water pipes?

Glycerin is used in water bongs because of its ability to stay cold for a long time without freezing solid.

Here are the main reasons why it's preferred:

1. Cooling Effect: Glycerin can be frozen to chill the bong’s smoke, providing a smoother and cooler hit. This reduces the harshness on the throat and lungs.

2. Long-Lasting Freeze: Unlike ice, which melts quickly, glycerin remains in a gel-like state when frozen, keeping the bong cool for longer periods without diluting the water.

3. Quick Freezing: Glycerin freezes faster than water, so it’s convenient to use as it can be ready in a shorter time than ice.

4. Non-Toxic and Safe: Since glycerin is non-toxic, it's safe for use in products that come into contact with food or inhaled substances, making it a reliable option for bongs.

Overall, glycerin enhances the smoking experience by delivering a cooler, smoother inhale without the inconvenience of melting ice.
