mattarios2 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I just got a box in the mail of them, and I had a question ... (1)what is this post all about ...http://www.hookahforum.com/index.php?showt...rt=#entry208264Wouldn't all coals make the CO detector go off? Because they are on fire?Lol, anyways my second question was (2) in your experience how many chunks of exoticas do you need to use on a wet wet tobacco such as Fantasia? And (3) if i precrack all of the exoticas ahead of time, will that cause the coals to go stale faster even if I keep them in a sealed bag?Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 alot of people seemed to have issues with getting bad batches of exoticas. they are a love hate thing. when you get a good batch they are awesome. a bad batch will result in loss of money and no replacements (at least from the manufacturer).On things like af or tangiers i normally use one full exotica broken into 3 parts. sometimes only 2 parts are needed to start it up.dont thing pre sizing coals will make them go bad faster if they are sealed. i do that with mine and i just keep them in the box they come in. have not had a problem yet.

gaia.plateau Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Depends on your bowl... I'll assume we're talking basic ceramic. For a really wet baccy like fantasia, layliana, af or sb, I usually start with 1/5x2 at parallels under a windcover, and add two more fifths halfway through.

These look dry and they look happy happy, ready to burn burn!!!Heh, hopefully they are a good batch. But did you see the link i posted? Does it make sense? I would assume any coal placed up against a CO detecter would cause the detector to go off ... no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yep, I use thirds because its been cold out when I smoke, but 4ths should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 the detectors go off when the CO is over a specific concentration in the air, so if you have windows open unless something is on fire it wont set it off (at least i think this is correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
