anddy Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 How does everyone use their 3king coals? Do you cut them in half?I have the 30mm ones and I tried using them as is but it burned my shisha, even when it was on the edge. MOST of the time whenever I try to cut it in half though, they break into about 3 or 4 little pieces that last probably 30 minutes each. It's frustrating. I tried scoring, breaking before/after lighting, sharp knife, everything. I can only get about 1 out of 5 to break in half correctly. I'm about to get some exoticas but for now, someone help me out with these 3kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryantos Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I throw three of them on my phunnel and move them around the edges from time to time.I'm going to experiment with cutting up two, though, because I think I might be wasting coals.

anddy Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 arent they way too small when you do that though? mine seem to only last about 30 minutes each, and i lose so much from the tiny bits that break off when i try to cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I use to use them as is, with a phunnel bowl they are perfect because they sit slightly elevated over the tobacco on the Mod in the middle. Perfect Heat. 1 on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i use them as paperweights now!unless i'm out of the exoticas.they dont last long enough....but when i di use them i use 3 1/2 pieces in a triangle on a small phunnel.to break them, score the top a little with tongs and break carefully.score them on the dome part and hold that upright and break down.

Luke69 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 What kind of shisha are you using? I used to have the same problem with burning shisha with three kings, so now i just pack the shisha lower in the bowl so its not as close to the foil. I've never had too much trouble breaking them if i score them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTheHookaMaster Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I just leave them whole. I found that the 40mm were too hot...maybe its me? so, its 33's...Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poro- Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I use 2 whole, but at start they are too hot so sometimes i got burn problems. Usually I just try to move them all the time and after they shrink I start smoking properly Splitting is almost impossible to me, I always get just a pile of crap with splitting.

EvansLight Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I start with a whole one, and once i get the hookah smoking well, i throw another on top of the first one. I mean right on top. Eh its what ive found that works; slightly dangerous but wheres the fun in safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 i use two whole ones at a time on my medium funnel bowl with mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have noticed that the 40mm's burn a lot hotter then the 33mm. You would think that the 40mm is just bigger and covers more area. It burns a lot hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 With a Mya Bowl, I use one whole 33mm, dead center and move it as neededWith a combo mod bowl, I use one whole 40mm. It starts in the center, then I move it a liitle to the side, then rotate the screen.With my small phunnel with scalli mod, I use 2 halves on opposite sides, starting rouned side down untilthe entire top is grey, then I flip them over and rotate around the bowl as needed. With my last batch of goldens, I usually need 3 halves.I break them by scoring them on the bottom ring, and they break perfectly in half (almost) every time.

nicayotte Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 2 on opposite edges of the bowl, works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anddy Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Man this whole time I've been using 2 halves, and I've always wondered why I NEVER got as much smoke as everyone else. I need to try using two whole ones. But if I somehow manage to burn my bowl using 2 halves, I have a feeling it's really not going to turn out well with two wholes.
