winstonk Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I've been smoking hookah for about a year now and have grown to love it. I know how to pack the bowls, set up my coals and base, as well as heat management fairly well.The last few times I've gotten the hookah out I've had horrible sessions (harsh and full of chemical like flavor)I use Japanese coals and the first half of the box worked extremely well. It has only been once i opened up the second half of the box that I have been getting bad session and they taste never goes away after the coal has been on there a while.Could it be a bad batch of coals?Oh also it seems like this half of the box likes to crumble when i am braking them apart instead of snapping at the predetermined locations.

winstonk Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I wish I could get my money back. The only place to carry anything other than quicklites or three kings sells Japs by the stick at $.50 a stick so a box ends up costing me $12.00.Looks like I am gonna be switching to exoticas.Anyone have anything to say against ordering exoticas three kilos at a time?
