The fabulous Ian Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So tonight I polished off a can of Starbuzz White Grape, and since I'm out of natural coals, resorted to qucklights. I haven't used this in almost a year. I've smoked three times this week, each time with Japanese-style coals, and been fine. Only tonight, when I used quicklights, did I feel really, really nauseous about halfway through the session. They were red-hot and ashed over when I put them on the bowl, three 33mm halves of Golden Coals. Wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) That is weird. Today I was using golden coals and my friend (who doesn't smoked hookah much) puked after 5 hits. Edited January 10, 2008 by Veritas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dushira Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 All of this is pretty common. It might be due to the chemicals coating the quicklight, you skoming on an empty stomach or being dehydrated, lack of ventilation in the room, taking in too much smoke too quickly or other things.I hope you find the cause of your nausea and it doesn't happen again.

jerrysalem Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I bought some of the coconut shell natural coals but bummer even if I use two they are not that hot and dont like to stay lit. I have the Goldens and they work fine but I can tell the chemical smell in them.What are good naturals that burn hot and long? I have an electric stove and that lights the coconut ones just fine and need it to light the naturals too, if that is what gives the most natural odor free smoke.

I ordered some online a couple of days ago and i'm now waiting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Ok EL is now more awake, lets see if i can answer this better Its been a while but if my mind is serving me right it has something to do, more than likely, with either ur blood sugar level or ur blood pressure. I can't remember which one exactly (where is eric when you need him?). Most hookah realted sickness is due to the nicotine, and it could have been your body just wasn't able to handle it. As sated it could have been your stomach was empty. Eating or drinking something sugary usually helps a whole lot. But it could also have been the coals. QL do put off a good amount of CO when they lite, and trust me inhaling that sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sss8789 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 QLs seem to make me sick or at least goldens I haven't tried 3 kings but I got exoticas and I smoke 2.5 hours and I didn't get sick or a headache or anything so I think it is QLs. Maybe they have more CO released. But from my experiences QLs kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good question would be do you lite them inside or out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been nice enough for me, but I'm starting to branch out to the other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten a nice, easygoing buzz, but tonight was the first night that sickness actually kicked in. Big bummer, too. Had a nice dinner, a couple of friends over, enjoying some fancy tea right before we smoked. Then whoomph. I lit the coals outside, then brought them in. So, yeah. I had a full stomach and drinking sweetened tea. The only thing I can figure is that its the quicklites. I'm heading out to the local shop to pick up a roll of 3K tonight, and if I have the same problem, I think I'm giving up on them for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Same here, last night, same coals on nakhla mint. I dont know why, i ate something and just KOd. I think that quicklights quality are going down so thats why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
