inino Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 100 pieces with a buy one get one free offer doesnt seem too bad. I think they are bigger than coco's though, the weight of them is more than double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 worth a shot. Good find Stuie. I'm looking forward to seeing some reviews. I'm guessing I may wanna order some before the sale goes off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Not a bad deal assuming they are as good as coconaras.Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Is that "instant lighting" I see in the bottom right corner of the box? It says they are "effort-free" to light. I wonder if John's CH instant lights might actually have some competition now?? If these things actually give off no taste, last longer, and are in fact instant light, I might just have to switch. It would be nice not to go through 6 coals in a session.Not trying to bash the CH's as I love them, just saying they don't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 well mine would be here by the end of the week, but it seems as though thehookah hasn't shipped out my order yet (ordered on Monday around 1pm), so when i get them i'll give a review!

MeNouA Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I actually went to their shop which is located like 5 minutes by my house and I bought one and got one free with it.They're size are comparable to coco's if not a little bit bigger, and they light pretty easy, around 5 minutes, but are not instant lights. They do light faster than coco's though in my experience, and they ash about the same...not too much. They last about 30-45 minutes each and each box includes 100 pieces. Heat management with these coals are very easy but I have only tried on nakhla, SB, and AF. Overall I like these coals a lot and will go back to buy more. That's my take on these coals.

Cocos last me an 60-90 minutes easy.Well that was just a guess, if you want I can officially check it today when I get home after school and set up a bowl. They're really good coals and I'm sure they last longer than that. I don't use a windcover or anything either if that makes them last longer. I'm not sure.

Scoop Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 how anyone gets 1:30 out of coconaras is beyond logical belief. no coal ive used gets over 45mins unless you use tiny pieces that don't provide enough heat for normal smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Here is how I do it. Indoors (No Humidity, Texas Heat)Put 2 Coconaras on a phunnel20 minutes, ash and flip20 minutes, ash and flip, add windcover20 minutes, start new coals on stove.10 minutes remove old embers and add new coals.Those are rough estimates but that's what I do... and and when I take the coals off the burner there isn't a dark spot on the coal. Even with flipping it takes 10-15 minutes to light, to make that happen but I find the last longer if those bad boys are solid orange all the way around.

MeNouA Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Stuie, with that process I'm almost 100% sure you can make these coals last that long as well. I wasn't using a windcover and it still lasted me longer than any other coal I have used. Just wait till you get em, I'm sure you'll like em.

Zinite Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Got mine today. They are the same size as John's naturals (a little bit larger than Cocos). I'll get a chance to use them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
