Moose Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Only type they had left was some unlabeled 33mm. Worst. Coals. Ever. They stank, they crumbled like anything, and they burned really weird. I gave up, they were that bad. On the bright side, Two Apples Al Fakher seems pretty good ( b^_^)b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was staying at a motel 6 off disey way (was on a week vacation to disny) got my hookah and a smoking room for winding down after a day at disnyland and behold forgot my coals so i found a local smoke shop and got a box of 100 Ql for 6 bucks man they crumbled smelled and some would kinda explode when lit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ahhh, grabbed three packs of Three Kings. So much better, I'll appreciate them more from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin2323 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 i personally think 3 kings are the worst along with those no name quicklights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineout Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 besides CH, 3 kings are the best quicklights, but i try and stay away from quicklights when i smoke these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Good to see im not the only one lol. idk, i tasted a major difference between my old coals and the 3k and it was horrible...plus they lit really badly, like half would be lit and the other half id have to hold a lighter against for a while just to get it started up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I personally do not like Three Kings due to the smell and taste. If you're looking for a great quicklight coal, get Golden Canaries. They're naturals, but act as quicklights, and you can light them off of each other. The only downfall is they're kinda pricey... [url="http://ultimatehookah.com/Golden-Hookah-Charcoal-GC.htm"]http://ultimatehooka...Charcoal-GC.htm[/url] I did the five or more and got them for $11.95 each.

angekfire Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've only used 3 kings and starlights, and I don't recall how different they were, but 3 kings is consistantly a hassle. They crumble and are super brittle, only half of them actually lights, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwind Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've really enjoyed AF quick lights. Light easier and quicker than anything else I've seen. Haven't used 3K or Starlight as of yet though. I'm low on coals too. May have to try these golden canaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TweakX4 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 as far as ql go, i've always used and liked golden coals, but i ran out and didn't need to place a full order yet so i just picked up some 3 kings from the local store because i've got some semi-positive reviews from them. they also had af coals for a couple bucks cheaper, i guess i shoulda went for those instead.
