As the practice of spotting releases hot smoke, many fledgling smokers prefer to use a spottle that cools the air before they inhale it. To do this the spottle may be filled with ice. Typically this will involve a plastic bottle with the bottom portion cut off. It is then reversed and re-inserted to hold the ice in. Small holes are punched in the base to allow the smoke to enter the ice compartment. Alternatively (with glass bottles) the spottle may simply be stored in a freezer to chill it.
A more complicated form of the paraphernalia, involves combining a spottle and a water bong
, such that after the smoke is collected in the funnel it is then filtrated through water before it is inhaled. This device is called a "spong" - a portmanteau of "spottle" and "bong". The water in a spong may or may not be frozen, or have ice added as a way of further cooling the smoke.
