srawas89 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 johns ql's give off more heat than 3 kings. I prefer 3kings over john's just because imo his ql's give off too much heat. I dont know how easy it is to split any of the coals cuz I never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschoenith Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 i've never just Johns ql but where i live most people sell 3 kings so i work with what i got and the 3 kings work pretty well and i use 1 3 king on my bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 you can split 3kings with a knife.you would need a bandsaw to split chron.hookah quicklights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier92 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) On a mod bowl I use one of either type but when using one CH it is just the right heat, one 33mm 3K doesn't give off as much as it should.That being said CH smelled like chemicals even after fully lit, the whole way through my sessions, which annoyed me, so 44mm 3K are still my go to quicklight.

Fluffy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) well if i was going to use a quicklite i would use johns.....but i will never use a quicklite tell me what kind of bowl you use and youl get a better awnser Edited February 15, 2009 by Fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersubby Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 i use both and i love both when it comes down to it i would choose 3k because it doesn't give off that nasty smell , but hookah john bc it feels healthier and on a phunnel 2 coals are perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier92 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's actually funny you say that supersubby because I agree, it's strange that even though CH coals give off the smell they still seem to be less toxic, 3K taste really bad but I've never had taste imparted from CH they just seem cleaner to me.

jfaltous Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Wow.. you really need to clean your bowls. One light scrub with a scotch brite pad will take all that crap off your phunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyk Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 chronis hookah quicklites are amazing coals they are the quicklte of choice at my place but as far as breaking them i half i ont think its possible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_steve Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah dream on about breaking CH quicklites...for pete's sake, I can't even ash them by slamming them into the coal tray...I have to crush them with tongs to get the ash off.CH QLs light super fast, but spark like mad. They do smell during lighting, but impart no noticable taste, and taste far better IMO than 3kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't know why you guys are having such a hard time splitting HJ QL. Just take a steak knife, hold the quick light, and SOFTLY saw down the center. When you get about half way down, knock the knife with something like a heavy spoon and it will crack in half. I can cut a quick light in about 6 or 7 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1024 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 so i went out on a limb and bought some of johns non ql coals. they are pretty nice, but im pretty sure half a 3 kings puts off way more heat than half of one of johns coals..QUOTE (mustang_steve @ Feb 16 2009, 06:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah dream on about breaking CH quicklites...for pete's sake, I can't even ash them by slamming them into the coal tray...I have to crush them with tongs to get the ash off.CH QLs light super fast, but spark like mad.
