How do you light easy-light coals?

Hold the coal with tongs in the flame of the lighter until it starts to spark and hiss. Then let it glow completely for a minute, so that the ignition layer is gone, and then place it on your hookah bowl.

Lighter or gas torch?

A regular, sturdy lighter works fine, but a gas torch with a powerful flame will light your coals even faster. For on the go, a refillable lighter is handy, so you can easily refill it when it's empty.

Light your coals in a well-ventilated area or outdoors, and always pick up glowing coals with tongs. Let them glow thoroughly before you start smoking, so you don't taste the ignition layer.
