Definition of charcoal lighter for shisha
A charcoal lighter for shisha is a special device that is used to efficiently ignite shisha coals , especially natural coal . These devices are available in various designs, such as electrically operated models or gas cookers . An electric charcoal lighter often consists of a robust metal housing with a heating coil onto which the coal is placed. In contrast to self-igniting charcoal , which only requires a lighter, natural coal has to be heated for longer due to the high temperatures required. Gas charcoal lighters offer more flexibility and mobility, but require the gas cartridges to be changed more frequently.
