JDHarding Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Been using 2-3 Jap canarys, or 2-3 halves of coco naras for Tangiers, but right now I'm trying 2 of John's quicklights and they seem to be a perfect amount of heat for Tang. Great flavor and everything.Too bad these quicklights stink sooooo badly while lighting. Whew they're nasty. Smells like I just got the BBQ going indoors.Anybody else try these with Tang?

SuburbanSmoker Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I dont like the QL with tangiers. they seem to die fairly quick with alot of people on a hookah. i have to use three on a medium phunnel, cycling out one every 10 minutes. i stick to the canarys.

Bye bye now have fun Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 i use 2 with a small and it works fine. when they get small wind cover it. when you put a new set on hang them over the edge for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHarding Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 I notice the big clouds I get sorta hang there for a while with John's coals. Cocos and Canarys don't quite hang as long. Or my eyes are playing tricks on me.I got 3 QLs on there with the windcover on them. Heh.. no harshness.. big clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 i use 2 QLs face down and 1 QL on the side. works the best for me if im using johns coals*thats for lucid. haven't tried QLs with the regular stuff so don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBKakes Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Johns QL's are my preferred coals for any shisha, including Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. B Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I start with three not face down slightly off the edge to heat the bowl up, then take one off and put the other 2 face down when it is hot enough. once the two die down, i throw the other one on to keep it toasty under a windcover. I then start to heat up more coals and keep 2 on face down for the duration of the session.John's QL FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilded777 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 So how long, in general, to people wait before putting these coals on the bowl?I ask because I have sometimes gotten a NASTY nitrate taste to my whole bowl, and I'm wondering if I am just not waiting long enough.I mean they are not igniting, for sure... the "flame on" part is long over, and usually got at least a slight coating of ash on them.

Good Clouds, Good flavor, Good Buzz... can't ask for better.When you put the coconaras on, do you put them on with the larger side of it down? or do you have them sit straight up where it's taller then wide? I think I'm not saying this correctly. Do you have 'em like this || or like this ==? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyk Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 i use john's QL coals too with tangiers cause even though they are QL's they are like natural coconut wood coals. I start with two and its perfect heat for my small phunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 3 Golden Canarys on a small phunnel is the best Tangiers (both Noir and Lucid) setup I have had so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilded777 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 hmmmm.....this is making me wonder what caused that awful taste. I used 3 of John's coals last night on a HS phunnel, and they worked out pretty good. No bad taste at all, and I didn't even wait all that long.More research is required!
