neffertiti Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) so today, I got my new hookah, (mya gyro from HS). It got to me a day early because "we got it in town and I didn't feel like coming all the way out here tomorrow"(to quote the UPS guy) so that was sweet. overall, it's a fucking bamf, especially my new nammor hose. I was so excited to get it lit up!!then, i lit one of the cheap coals that came with it from because i was too lazy to find any of my exoticas. as soon as i lit it, it exploded all over the place, lit part of my couch on fire and made my apartment smell like fireworks. now, i'm cleaning instead of smoking....sad day Edited January 11, 2008 by neffertiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Look on the bright side, it will get a lot better once you're done your cleaning and start your smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Damn!!!!??? That's two reported hookah coal accidents in the past couple of days. That really sucks about your couch. Hopefully it's not too noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neffertiti Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 it's all cleaned up, the couch isn't too bad, just a couple of holes that are hidden by flipping over the cushins, but the damn smell wont leave, but i'll just have to deal with it for now. i should have it up and smoking and about 10 minutes!!

EvansLight Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Any QL can nicely explode. Hell at one point Scalli even made an interesting little device to contain coals to keep them from going kaboom. Remember there not nicknamed gunpowder discs for nothing. A wrong mix, bad batch, lite the wrong way, etc. can cause a very explosive reaction instead of the normal burning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neffertiti Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 so. the smell is gone, I've thrown all of the golden coals away and whipped out the exoticas, and now it's smokin time. I'm thinkin AW blueberry or the free romman peach. it should be a good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahDude831 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 maybe you all should light QL's outside.. i mean common.. or at least buy golden coals, those do not explode like 3k.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also they can crack and even explode after being lite. Leftover gunpowder in the middle can possibly heat up and boom. Thats even rarer but it can happen.
