BlueCaterpillar Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi. I'm very new to smoking hookah. I just got mine two days ago and I'm loving it. Anyways, I heard that there are self heating electric bowls for hookahs. This sounds great seeing as how my only very minor concern is corrupting the taste of the tobacco with charcoal. I was just wondering if these special bowls are worth-wile and what more experianced smokers have to say about them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The consensus is that they aren't good. Inefficient and for most people that I've heard talk about them that have tried them they say really doesn't work. If you fully light you charcoal and buy a good brand, you really shouldn't have to worry about the corruption of taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCaterpillar Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks. What barand would you suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Well... if you like quick lights, I suggest 3 Kings. Can't say that I have too much experience with japanese or natural coals, though... I'm sure that there will be people a little later on today that can suggest those, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcartman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Tangiers, you know what its funny you should list Lihnari, cause the hookah shop I posted about yesterday had some, and I was quite shocked to see 22mm quicklights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
