How does a Glycerin Coil work?

Glycerin is made from fatty acids, glycerin as a liquid, stops the ice particles from developing, which means it won't expand as it freezes. If it was water, it would cause the glass to break. Its increased melting point helps it stay frozen longer than that of ice, which eliminates overfilling your water and avoids the splashing into your mouth. Glycerin freezes faster than water so you don't have to wait as long, and you can enjoy it longer. Put the coil in the freezer for a few hours before using your bong. Never put your entire bong into the freezer, glass cannot withstand cold temperatures, in other words, the glass will break.

Using ice in your bong has been shown to work, but it can make your water levels overflow, and it can possibly hurt your lungs due to the micro ice shards in the smoke.
