Dega Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My only means of lighting natural coals here at college would be to use my microwave and then carry them outside. Has anyone tried lighting Coconara's in the microwave because I've heard it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 try it and tell us how it goes. I wouldn't do it personally, it's just sound like and accident waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplexCoda Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well scalliwag tried this with some other natural coal and lets just say it didnt go well at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 With Scalli's experimenting, I believe he was able to light up VERY dense coals in the microwave but he made his own coals which just ended up exploding. I'll find you the link, the vid is a fun watch.EDIT: From the looks of it, his website is down right now. Here's the link for some responses that will give you some insight.http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=5946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Microwaves don't generate heat they vibrate water molecules. So no, it wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, there is actually a small amount of moisture in almost everything, so there will be enough moisture in the coal to get it heated. This is also why you can put a cracker in the microwave and heat it up. While there might be no moisture on it that you can feel, on the molecular level there is moisture.

I'm just trying to discourage people from either breaking an expensive microwave or hurting themselves. No one on the forum should 100% endorse lighting coals with a microwave since not all coals are the same and not all microwaves are the same. Do you remember when someone tried to light exoticas in the microwave? Edited October 28, 2008 by Tom16689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
