PurpleSmoke Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Has anyone ever tried the electronic coals? I've seen these around every once in a while, but I can't seem to find any really good information on them... Apparently they run off a low amount of electricity and eliminate CO from the coals. I'm thinking between that and my lite shisha that it would be a bit healthier than coals are... but then again, I don't know much xD Heres a link to one on amazon, anyone think they are worth it? Any information on it would be appreciated [b]http://tinyurl.com/84gofgf[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I don't think anyone here would recommend them... General consensus is: They don't heat the way real coals do. The electric burner gives steady heat, and charcoal sits cooler while it idles and hotter when you puff. Also, it's very large, which would make heat management harder than having several small coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be hard to create something that would sit idle but heat up quickly when you inhale, but I couldn't find any information anywhere that said whether it did or didn't. Thanks for confirming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angy Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I used one last night for the first time with stones. Took about 8 minutes to heat the stones without using foil. Worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If someone gave me one for free, I would try it. But, as a few have said already, it really isn't the best thing to be using. There is a reason most of us use natural charcoals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenshinx23 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 if one lets say, could make a small vac small built into this electronic coal that would heat up as you suck, and stay a cooler temp while in rest, would you guys be interested? sounds like a nice project for me!
