Is it good to use a butane lighter with a hookah?

Question

Is it a good idea to use a butane lighter to lite a coal for hookahing?

Answer 1

Well what kind of coals are you using?



For Quicklights like Golden

Using a Typical Butane Lighter like this http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1283&idaffiliate=284 is fine. It's best to use a Butane Torch not just a butane lighter. Difference being one looks like a propane torch and the other a disposable lighter. Otherwise it won't ignite fast enough and you it will take longer for the coal to be fully lit.



If you are using Naturals like Coconaras

Best bet is a stove! People use Propane Torches like these http://www.bernzomatic.com/products/torches/professional-torches.aspx But I am always afraid of melting my tongs. I would use the stove in your kitchen or buy a portable one like this: http://www.hookah-shisha.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1284&idaffiliate=284



Even with Quicklights A regular lighter or matches never cut it for me.

Answer 5

Yeah you can, I just prefer long stem matches in case the charcoal decides to spark. Whichever provides you the safest light, sometimes its a long match or a "safety lighter".
