Dodgy Coals

[johnc21]

Im John, new to the forum so "hey" to all.


Ok I have my hookah a long time now I have been using 3 kings coals which have never failed to let me down. However the place where I usually get my Coals and tobacco didnt have the 3 kings in stock only had the SOFRA wood coals, so I took them anyway thinkin they may be similar in design to the 3 kings .....WRONG its the weird stick long pieces that have to broken up!

Ok now my problem, I light the gas and hover the coal over the gas and it goes a white colour. After a few mins I think they are hot enough meaning I can feel the heat from them. They go red when they are blown at, but they do not "glow red". I place it on the hookah bowl in the usual fashion and I take a few puffs and I get nothing!!

So if anyone can shed some light to my situation or tell me where im going wrong, I would GREATLY appeciate it as I have a session most evenings with the comp. but now I cant and its irritating!

Thanks to all who contribute to my dilemma...

They're not going hot enough yet. Set them on whatever you put your pots/pans on for about 5 minutes and after they turn a uniform white color, they should be good to go
