So, how can I smoke hookah without charcoal? 

Smoking with a clothes iron

One alternative to enjoy your moment is to use a clothes iron. Its handle will make your hookah session practical and safe.

Rafael Ferrari teaches us how to control the heat and also protect ourselves from burns in the following video.

Smoking with an electric coal starter

The electric coal starter can work in the same way as the clothes iron. With extra advantages as it goes off automatically when the desired temperature is reached.

Then, you don’t need to worry about “heat rotation”.

Reuse the coal

This hint is for the tough guys. Sometimes, when there’s no option left, we reuse charcoal… Whenever we have some kind of bad hookah session and feel we have wasted our last “golden piece”, or when we feel like having another hookah session on the same day.

Reusing your coal can be the best way to enjoy your hookah sessions. It’s not necessary to wait 1h to change the bowl, wait about 30min and prepare a second round.

Watch the video and learn how to reuse your coal.

Saving in your session

Sometimes we also need to save our coal, guys. This video is awesome because it teaches us how to have an “economical hookah session”, even when we run out of flavors.

It’s not only coal that we can be short of, so click the play button and learn how to save at difficult times.

Of course, you can´t be too careful, so be really cautious to prevent accidents, and let’s pray that the coal gets to us asap.
