Ah, Damnit


Recommended Posts

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 by neffertiti

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.

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!!

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,

True enough... it seems, at least in my experience, that Goldens are more prone, however.

maybe you all should light QL's outside.. i mean common.. or at least buy golden coals, those do not explode like 3k..


Yea you should always light it outside because of the smoke that comes off of them when lite anyways. 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.

i have had them both do it but i had alot more goldens do it in comparison to 3K

and i have had a lot of boxes of 3K coals and maybe the equivilent to 2/3 of a box of goldens.

3K > Goldens
