Eco Briccos as stuie listed on page one are just awful highly suggest people stay away from them unless quicklights are the only alternative. I also want to try these new coals... guess paying the tax on em won't kill me but unless they're like the best damn coconut coal I've ever tried and I've had a quite a few different brands on top of my bowl I won't be a repeat customer.

That stands for itself it's not a matter of my attitude. They do carry some good products however I don't order from them anymore even though they are in my home town.

Stuie Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I order all my non shisha stuff from H-S Shisha from 5star (takes 4-5 days on shipping) All because of taxes. H-S shipping since i live in texas is next day and dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I start the ccn's on their short sides then flip them down when more heat is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atalanta Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Shipping is a big factor. I don't buy coals online because I can buy them locally at about what the prices are online, so why pay for the weight? And even for local shisha, the prices are similar (but it's starbuzz and HH, though I just found someone who carries AW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, back in Jacksonville I was spoiled with a nice little shop with coconaras and all kinds of good shisha. Now that I live in Mississippi, the only thing within 45 minutes is a cigar store that carries 50g of Fantasia and Exoticas : / Not impressed. And littleC I was being serious, if you have a better website clue us in. Maybe some of us aren't aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Local shop by me sells the CCN flats for $12 plus tax. I still tend to go for the Cocomazaya and order online (UltimateHookah has a good deal when you buy three boxes, plus using the discount code). I'm down to two boxes of CCM right now. When I'm ready to order more, I may decide to just buy CCN flats locally since I'd save on shipping basically. Just depends on what my bank looks like at the time. I prefer Cocomazaya, as I feel the cubes are better for heat management. Other than that, they're both the same coals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have some Coconaras that I pulled out of boxes from moving the other day, I think they are the cubes. Anyone know if flats or cubes last longer? I am guessing they are about the same. And good looking out on UltimateHookah, I been away and had never seen them.

Stuie Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 If done right i get a around 60 minutes on flats and 90 on cubes. Less now that I am smoking outside in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 In other news, Ultimate Hookah has released there own coconut coals as well. The COCO-Ultimate, 108 pc box for the introductory price of $8.99. Looks like I may have to place an order just for coals...

Chreees Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 To be a real hookah vendor these days... you gotta have your own brand of coconut coals! I'll be trying the Ultimate's sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Theoretically the Cubes should last longer since there is less surface area to volume. I think the flats cut in half work best for the minis and the cubes work best on a small phunnel although 4 half flats work alright as well.

joelhookah Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I use 3 coconaras on my mini just fine. I personally only split cocos when I was smoking out of the tiny ass Mya bowl that came with my mini acrylic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I dunno, for me cubes vs. flats they seem to last about the same. I've never timed it exactly, mind you. I know Stuie probably has, so best listen to him. I feel that two cubes on my Tang Mini with windcover on/off works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhookah Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 On a Tangiers mini phunnel, yes. I don't put them all the way on when I am starting the bowl, but after 5 minutes I move them all the way on. If my boy burt still hit up the forum he would tell you. He also has a mini phunnel and rocks 3 coconaras all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yeah, in my experience, three Coconaras has been a bit much for me on a Tangiers Mini. I much favor two coals and a windcover when needed, whether it's cubes or flats. Now on a Small Phunnel, however, I have used three plenty of times.

joelhookah Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I don't use a windcover. Maybe I should pick one up and go the two coal route. Bet it would pay for itself with little use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yep. Exactly why I use it. Makes my coals go a bit farther before having to buy more. Plus it makes it where I don't ever have to touch my coals- I just add and remove the windcover when needed. All the heat management I need.
