Burning Aluminum Foil

[Boersnoes]

Hi,

For my birthday a friend of mine gave me this kick-ass lighter.
It's like a tiny blow-torch, yet still features pocket size.

It's incredibly handy for lighting coals (I'm stuck with an entire box of realy bad quick lights), but it also tends to melt my aluminum foil.
When this happens the taste goes down the puke trail and it stays like that for several minutes.

It takes little common sence to not inhale the smoke for health reasons, but do you think any measures should be taken except for waiting about 10 mins and blowing bad smoke out?

Think it's nessecary to put a new bowl? Clean it first? Refresh water? Flush hose?

Umm.. don't light the coals on the foil?

if youre lighting em ON the foil then you must love that taste of gunpowder quicklights are giving off as they spark away... talk about killing a bowl. Do people not understand the purpose of tongs?? lol

lol, yeah, that's why good hookahs have that plate placed just under the bowl, it's not just for protection

I remember when I first got into hookah, I did that for a wile, boy, looking back, that was dumb %D
