seefoodlover Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 had a friend over the other day, and didn't have a fire going which i use to lite my coco's, so i pulled out the 3Ks, and they were terrible. I went through 6 coals for a 2hr session lol. pretty pathetic. I go through about 1 and half rounds of cocos lol. anybody else have the same problem?

Travis Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yes in comparison to naturals, quicklights suck. But its not really a problem, its just how it is. Some people out there really enjoy quicklights, and they are theyre go to coal. I for one use naturals for 99.9%, but i keep a box of ql's around for those unexpected situations. I.e. electricity goes out, and you have no hookahforum to keep you busy, so you wana smoke. Well well well.....who needs qls now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender85 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 yeah, I only keep 2 rolls of QLs in the back of the cabinet in case the power goes out..which generally leads to boredom and hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you like the convenience of a ql but hate the characteristics of the ql, try Johns. Personally i think they are the best that you can get when it comes to this style. And the fact that they are made of long burning coconut is a plus. Just sayin....dont knock it til ya try it.

Travis Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 HookahJohn.com.....look at his brand of coals you cant miss it. He has a natural and quicklight version and both are great [url="http://hookahjohn.com/product.sc?productId=15&categoryId=6"]HookahJohn's Ql[/url] P.s. its ok to discuss these coals but do not say the brand name because it could be considered NHT.

Whenever I see a picture of someone's set up or review video and they are using quicklites, I think "amateur!" LOL! I can't deal with the smell.

Jeff_T Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 If you have to use QL I'd go with the CH QL's, best on the market (as far as quicklights go at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
