When lighting a quick lite coal or adding more, NEVER light it on the tobacco foil.
You’ll get an exploision of powder into your shisha, scrorch it bad, kill the taste and probably have half a flying coal come swiftly like a gunshot (naturally in your direction).
Make something out of aluminum foil to keep the sparks and soot from flying, or an old pot, or buy a coal carrier online.
