zeppyrkr Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 so packed up my hookah and planned to break in my new qt, which isnt really a qt cause i have to use my other hookahs base which actually fits quite nice and looks good. but any ways, i forgot the tin foil and we dont have any here, i have nothing, i wish there was a tin foil alternative lol, someone bring me tin foil, grrrrrr.

EternalSoil Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i remember hearing about some guy that ran out and he used a metal fork to keep the coal off the shisha.really anything that wont burn or melt would work as long as you could get airflow.if you are using quicklights use the foil around them.break a ceramic cup or something!

Ralleac Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Heh. I used to work at a gas station like that, but it was next to a grocery store and I was allowed to take about 40 minutes of my shift away from the booth for a paid lunch and breaks. Anywhere nearby that you could grab some from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd had a laptop back then, but oh well. The breaks and lunch were required by company policy (and law, I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Nope. Just smooth it out as much as you can (take care not to tear it!) and use it. You'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillySoCo7 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was looking around on a German forum yesterday and there were pictures of what this guy did when he didn't have foil. He went outside and grabbed a handfull of rocks off the ground. He rinsed them off and then put them on top of the tobacco. They were big enough so that a good air flow could pass through them and still keep the charcoal off of the tobacco. He said it took about 10 minutes of puffing to get it to start smoking, but that's only because the rocks take longer to get hot. He said that it smoked like a CHAMP after that though. So if you're ever there, grab some rocks, rinse em off, and smoke away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
