ice has always worked for me
Anything besides water will probably only filter out more of the good things that you want in your lungs. So if you will use a smoking device with some sort of water filter for use with marijuana, you should stick to water that is as pure as possible (anything else in the water will probably only retract more thc). NORML and another group funded a study to see how efficient different ways of consuming cannabis was. My summary: Water filters are counter productive because they filter out some thc, and to get as much in you it will take burning more marijuana, which basically puts even more shit in your lungs than smoking it without a filter would (there may be unknown nasties that the water actually does filter, but as far as tar goes, its worse to use a bong than a regular pipe). Google MAPS and NORML study if you want better links.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The least bad waterpipe, the bong, produced 30% more tar per cannabinoids than the unfiltered joint.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The study results are obviously discomforting to waterpipe enthusiasts, many of whom prefer the cooler, milder smoke they produce, and have naturally assumed it is also more healthful. Unfortunately, however, the study indicates that waterpipes may actually be counterproductive in increasing consumption of carcinogenic tars.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Nonetheless, it is still premature to judge that waterpipes are actually unhealthful, since they may filter out other, non-solid smoke toxins occurring in the gas phase of the smoke, which was not analyzed in the study[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The unfiltered joint scored surprisingly well in smoking efficiency, coming in second place with a transfer rate close to 20%. The portable waterpipe did slightly better, and the bong slightly worse. The other devices did notably worse. The vaporizers and electric waterpipe did especially poorly, with transfer rates less than one-third that of the top three devices. Thus, heavy smokers could literally be blowing most of their stash away with bad pipes.[/FONT]
