sounds like a diffuser of sorts if they arent being chilled first
They don't stay cold as long as ice, but that's why I keep about twice as many as needed. They're really cold for about 5-10 minutes, after that they go back to room temperature. I always hated forgetting about the bong, and the ice melting and all the water leaking out of the downstem. With this, I don't have to worry about that. If we stop hitting it for a while, we can either just use it with non-cooled marbles or I can change out the water and marbles, which makes a very noticeable difference, which only takes a few minutes.
Also, the marbles act as a diffuser whether they're chilled or not. Hope that answered some questions!

bounty- i wanted to know if your bong in the picture is acrylic in reality or if its glass, coz i have a green acrylic one thats exactly like the one in your pic
Acrylic, cost me like $25 at a store in the town I grew up. The last one I got was about 4" taller, same design, but cost like $20. I think they raised prices 
They're cheap enough where it's not the end of the world if you break them, but at the same time you can make them excellent smoking devices. My last one had marbles in the bottom and a ice catcher I made using wire threaded through some holes I drilled. Near the end of it's life, I drilled another hole for a carb because the slide was broken. The carb worked very well, I was actually surprised.
That was the first one I had, I don't know if you can see the ice catcher though. I drilled four holes around the base of the main tube, and threaded some wire through there and sealed it with some silicone sealant. It worked great, but I think I like the frozen marbles a lot better.

bounty, another benefit of the marbles over the ice is that you're not getting all that water vapor into your lungs, which can be bad for you. If you had ice, the smoke would constantly be melting it and sending droplets of water into your lungs, but with the marbles there is none of that!
I love that idea of the frozen marbles

What about the water in the bong,doesn't it have any of those dangerous droplets in it?What about a very humid day?You make me laugh.The water is the last thing you need to worry about going in your lungs when smoking a bong.irishSoCo said:

amish: yea, there is definitely always vapor getting into your lungs. I didn't say its dangerous, i just said "it can be bad for you." A lot of water vapor going into the lungs of an individual with a weak immune system (like many of the true med users) can lead to an increased chance of pneumonia. Smoke going directly over the ice causes some of the h2o to vaporize leading to higher humidity in the smoke.
I've used ice catcher bongs before and routinely use a bubbler, but it doesn't mean i can't be aware of the effects. I was merely commenting that the frozen marbles are probably slightly better/easier on the lungs than ice cubes.
