ICE-VaPa Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey all,Was just wondering if anyone here has used both swift-lite and 3kings, and can compare them briefly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have seen and used them before they are okay but nothing compared to golden coals or 3 kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*HOT&SMOKING* Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey ICE-VaPaI did some research from when you and me chated the other day about swift lights and I seem to think that these are the ones that exploded by me....but I don't know maybe I had a bad batch???? -H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burton_o6 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I bought a pack on instant lites today, and they tasted terrible, they also didn't light very quickly, so i put on a different kind. Well while I was smoking and had the instant lites in the tray, one of them randomly popped and burned my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzZ Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I got a pack of Swift-lite coal. They are the UK's standard QL's. Don't really like them though. Take long to light and don't fully ash over when they're ready. Don't get me wrong they're not terrible but after reading all the things here about 3 kings and golden QL's they seem like a much better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong they're not terrible but after reading all the things here about 3 kings and golden QL's they seem like a much better choice They dont take long at all to light for me, they take about 10 secs to sparkle and about i take about 20secs to blow and they're glowing bright red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a slight chemically taste, but a strong shisha masks it with no probs. I recommend them if you have no other alternative.I once had a fake batch. The stuff popped and spray hot charcoal all over the place. But that isn't typical of the real McCoy. So I recommend only buying them direct from the manufactuers, who fortunately have an ebay shop:http://www.swift-lite.com/ebay_page.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrShisha Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) I think they are quite alright, like people have said, if you find the legit version, which i think you could more often than not but to me a quicklite is a quicklight, its a last resort unless there is nowhere a stove to be found! However i havent used them in time as i just use Abo Alabed (Nours) Natural coal which you can buy very cheaply in my area. Finishing offfffff, swiftlites arent half bad, just make theyr all red hot before mounting onto the bowl Edited March 26, 2008 by DrShisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm2210 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Only coals I can get my hands on locally here.They spark up very quicklyThey let of a lot of carbon monoxide which reeks and isn't good for youThey last about 30 mins for meAdds sometimes a coaly taste to the flavour but sometimes not noticableRating: 5/10 - usable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I agree, I love them just because the burn so long...after the initial lighting they are perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
