TheCaterpilla Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I didn't find anything in the search, so please forgive me if it's been brought up before and I just missed it. I recently decided to see if there was a way to go no coal with my hookah. Mostly because most shops around here sell coals that taste vile. One of the methods I came up with that is working is taking five tea light candles (unscented) and setting them at the base of my bowl. I make "ears" with the tin foil corners to direct the heat flow and put a few holes it the top. It's working great so far, but now I wonder if I'm putting something far more harmful into my lungs with the candles. Input of any kind would be smashing!

dizzbizz Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well to answer the question, I don't think the candle's will put out anymore CO than coals do. I'm sure you're fine. But also, I'd like to see a video of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Only negative I see from this is when my cat knocks over the hookah again... Fire is waaaaaay worse than coals, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendetta_revived Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 You should probably look into what kind of chemicals a candle releases when burnt. The color, scent added, the kind of wax, wick also counts when it comes to what particles are being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well if that method actually works and we are concerned about what kind of chemicals are release by burning paraffin wax then it might be beneficial to look into soy wax instead.
