Oops.. Found A Bad Coal Of John's


Recommended Posts

Smoking just now, went to bang off a coal in the ashtray, and the sucker broke in half! Diagnally! It got me diagnally!

Anybody else experience some bad ones in the bunch? I've had ones completely fall apart, but none of broken diagnally, which is actually pretty cool if you think about it.

There was a QL once in my box of naturals of CH Natural Coals

Now that I have yet to see. I can picture it now, workers in the plant on the QL side get mad at the Nat side and toss one over, imagine if they got into it and had a coal war, and start throwing coals all over the place, clean up would get tedious.

The coal fingers/logs sometimes break in the oddest ways.

Actually, the rest of the coal did indeed explode and fall apart when I picked it up.. all over my carpet.. yay.. I got polka-dot burnt carpet now. Whee! I really need to replace it.. I have burn and shisha marks everywhere.

There was this one time i was asking my hj ql's and one of the coals had a staple in it. Why cant I ever find staples in things I eat, that way I can sue someone!



A staple? What the hell?

John needs quality control. C'mon, use that pimp-hand!

I have had few QLs explode one was over the stove and made few deep holes on the kitchen floor by the time I realized that happened.

And once over the bowl and yes, carpet got the hit that time. :S

i've had CH QLs explode on me a couple of times...but, that's nothing compared to the dozens upon dozens of times the canarys exploded on me...



Ugh.. canary's.. those are horrible. I know a lot of people like them, but I bought some official canarys, not fake knockoffs, and they lit okay on my portable burner.. but they lasted like 10 mins.. and they gave off a sick taste. I know I lit them all the way through, they were red hot on both sides.. but they still gave off a taste I didn't like.

And this is why when i smoke in the house I have a little roll out carpet I put under my hookah.

I dont know how many people are still using Golden QL's but those suckers used to DETONATE regularly.

I can understand why Eric uses the little coals on Tang. It's a little heat finicky. Requires minimal heat to get big clouds. I'm currently using 2 of John's coals on my small phunnel with a windcover on it. Three was just killing me. I tried 2 cut in half, but they lasted for a very short time. Maybe I should try canarys, or a similar small coal, with Tang sometime.

Edit: Actually.. this has gotta be the best method I've used with Tang thus far.. 2 coals and a cover.. I'm getting good smoke, and it's a lot more tastier than 3 coals! Wow. Learn something new every day. laugh.gif Edited by JDHarding

I was smoking last week on the back porch and picked up a CH natural and it exploded. It broke in half, and one half was complete the other was in around 50 pieces. It was a huge pain and some fell through the deck so I grabbed a bucket of water and doused it, sucked. This was the only problem I've had in about 4 boxes of CH's... It does suck when it happens though
