Aren't they comparable to 3K's?the canarys last about 30-35 minutes...for me, the biggest selling point is that they promote extreme laziness.i light 3 coals...and take 4 unlit coals with me...their ability to light off one another allows me the convenience of never having to leave my seat to light more coals while i'm smoking...

CCNs ash is very fine. The AFs ash is about twice as thick as CCNs, yet it does fall off on its own when the KM rumbles.2. a whole CCN will last longer than an AF coco...a good amount of time more, but not a lot morethe bennies of the AF cocos:1. Nearly 50% of the cost and maybe 90% of the performance of CCNs. Good tradeoff.Just think of the AF cocos as a value brand CCN...

ih303 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hmm... let's see. If AF coconut coals last 30-45 minutes, and cocos supposedly last twice as long, that would mean that cocos burn from 1 to 1.5 hrs!! That truly is incredible. I must have gotten a bad batch because mine only burned for 30-45 minutes. I have some Cocos, some AF's, and some CH's that I plan on using for a study as well. This needs to be settled once and for all. The more studies we have the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) k, not really a review...i'm just putting up the comparison pics...[attachment=4405:IMG_3790.JPG]and they're off!! the one on the right is the CCN, the 2 on the left are AFs...and yes, that's 3 coals on a mini...[attachment=4406:IMG_3792.JPG]15 minutes...the CCN developed a thin layer of ash, while the AFs ashed over completely. on the corners of the AFs, the ash fell off on their own.[attachment=4407:IMG_3793.JPG]30 minutes...sorry, i know its hard to tell, but there's a thick layer of ash on the AFs...the CCN is fully ashed over but somehow shrunk too.

Arcane Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) [attachment=4408:IMG_3794.JPG] 45 minutes....the CCN is on top. the AFs are on bottom. as you can see, the CCN is just slightly bigger than the AFs.i don't have further pics, but you can see that AFs are just a step behind CCNs in terms of longevity. the biggest difference is the heat output...CCNs are hot as hell....the AFs are about on par with CH coals. also, near the tailend of the session....the AFs became somewhat brittle. if you picked them up with your tongs...they'd crack. the same thing happened with the CCNs, but you had to squeeze a bit harder to get them to break.note: the bowl did get smokey, but not really harsh...i just wanted to use 1 CCN and 2 AFs....in, hindsight...i probably should've used my big small phunnel instead of the mini....lol.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 nice man..i really hope i like them af's i only bought 60 to test out and i picked up a box of coco's we'll see how it goes..by the way you said coco's run hotter..how much is 1 coco compared to a ch coal? or would it be 1.5 ch coals to 1 coco in heat?

Arcane Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) that i'm not really sure...1:1.5 sounds about right though...it's definitely not 1:2....then again, i am only judging by how hot a hookah tray gets when i transfer the coals from the burner to the bowl...a tray heats up QUICK with 3 CCNs on it...with AFs, i can hold that bugger for a while and it only gets really warm....

dizzbizz Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Where would one buy Coconara's in bulk? I bought 4 boxes of the shishaco coals when thehookah had them for buy one get one free. I just wanna buy a bunch so I don't have to worry about it later on. I've searched and came up fruitless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 for CCNs in bulk? i dunno...maybe you can get them straight from a CCN distributor...check out www.coco-nara.com, maybe you'll get lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
