Only downfall is you have to score and crack them yourself because they come in sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC4111 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 HC has a diiferent brand of coconut charcoal. I know Bulldog and Snoop are going to do a side by side comaprison of these vs coco naras.http://hookahcompany.com/coconut_hookah_ch...l_1121_prd1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNH Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 For a cheap good charcoal I am a big fan of the easy-lite jap coals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 As ramsey says, the Japanese style coals are excellent.I also like exoticas.Scoring and breaking is not difficult... In fact it takes me about 2 mins to break 10 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 There was someone on chat that said the other coconut coals had a taste to them. I am going to order a box this week just to try them anyway. I don't like exoticas because they ash sooooooooo much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Golden Canary Japanese Coals. Best on the market no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'd go with Golden Canary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBatcho07 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I am still not very educated when it comes to Hookahs.All I have to go by so far it what I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHookah Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Try the Exoticas, they are cheaper per box. Like someone said you will have to break them yourself though and they take a little longer to heat up. Exoticas get really good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thank you sir. I'm really sick of paying so much for QLs when I'd feel much better using naturals anyway. And the hippie in me loves the idea of compressed coconut shell as a coal. I'm guessing once i go nat I'll never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 i'd say easy-lite jap coals, i use them after my first round of coco's die and the shisha is still kicking, but if your looking for cheap good coals def get them. they light quick, give off alot of heat, last about 45 mins to an hour and are only 6$ for like 94 i think. very good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well, as everyone has said here, either the easylite japanese coals, the golden canaries, the natural coconut coals from HC, or exoticas, all of those will do you quite well. The natural coals from HC are my new go-to now though. Like the japanese coals, i have to cut these in half to be able to smoke Tangiers with them because they put out quite a bit of heat. But to me, that just adds to the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speel Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have to say tho im not a really big fan of exoticas .. i was until I had coconaras. For some reason my exoticas give off a odd taste ( they aren't a bad batch or anything, solid as rocks actually ), also when i put them out they give off this horrid sulfur smell, some thing tells me they aren't 100% natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypherkk Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 ive been using exoticas for a few months, light up like most of the quicklights i've been using, except the circle ones but I hate those. I got to say they bland out the flavor a little but don't have any extra flavor. THose coconut ones give off a major flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescakes Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 well I will say that right now the two best natural coals arecoco narasexoticasso if you are not getting good results with one, try the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
