DBSB Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hey everyone, I was trying to figure out how much money I spend on charcoals in a year and I was coming out to about $100... What about all of you? Hit me with your guestimates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I smoke about every other day and I only smoke a mini with a couple friends so I only use 3 coals every other day. Roughly 3.5 bowls per week x 3 = 10.5 coals per week x 52 = 546 coals then add in another 60 coals for when we have bigger bowls and or 2 minis in a night. 108 coals per box and I get them for about 11/box 606/108 = 5.61 boxes per year x 11 = $61.71 per year give or take. I don't smoke very long, maybe an hour or so, unless we do a big bowl. So I don't keep adding coal after coal after coal like a lot of people do. After an hour I am always content with a couple people smoking with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I smoke maybe on average once a week (sometimes a lot more, sometimes a lot less), I'd say I go through maybe 5-6 boxes of coal @$13-14 each? maybe even less than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'd say around 3 to 5 boxes of coconut coals a year. I don't really keep track, as my smoking is pretty random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Every few months I go through these.

Pavo21 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 damn you guys make me feel like a junkie, i cant even think of how much i've spent on coals in the last year, and my coals i get local and for a shit ton cheaper then you guys. before erica was pregnant we were smoking like a box of jap coals ever 2 days or 3 days and we get them for 5$ a box, we dont really care of coconut coals since we just think japs are better for tangiers. so say 5$x2 boxes a week thats not including having people over. which we have almost everyweekend. so 5x2=10x52 weeks a year cause we smoked every day so $520 a year on coals. lol and thats if we got the cheap ones. wed get cocos sometimes so just factor more or less about $600. it feels like we were running a hookha lounge outta our house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I smoke a single bowl every night, and use two Japanese coals, so 54 sessions per box. 365 days in a year, divided by 54 equals 6.75 (okay, 7) boxes per year, at $14.00 per box, or $98.00 a year - before discount. If I get the usual 15% discount I generally pick up thanks to being a member here, we're talking......$83.30. I won't include shipping because I never order coals alone and everybody I order from uses a flat rate. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 My coal usage is varying since I am trying a BUNCH of different ones at the moment but let's say I stick with my usual Coco Cubes 4 x 365 = 1460 1460 / 108 ~ 13.5 (Rounded off) 13.5 * 14.99 = $202.37 That's not buying in bulk and no discounts & That I can't get that 3rd bowl in every day.

Urloc Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 After reading this post I was considering an offer I got from the place I buy coals from. They are compressed coconut shell coals, only problem is they come in bars instead of cubes so I have to cut them. Their price is $5 per 2kg of them but they offered me a ton per $400. Maybe you guys can get one shipped to the US lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also awesome order![/quote] The sleeve monster looks to be running rampant up there. I just do a 4 pack of CH coals every time I order @ $10/box. I go through a box in just under a month. I guess I spend about $130 to $140 a month. I really need to start buying cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SundayFundaysTV Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 At my house we go through about 2 boxes of cocos we get for $11each box a week, so for a year unless my math is off a little over $1000.00 a year? That might seem much but on a average night, we have friends over smoking so I'll set them up a hookah then count in my hookah, and my brothers. Sometimes our friends will kick in cash for coals and shisha they smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Meh, it's a good question though. He hasn't broken the rules, or spammed us with a product (heh). Either he's merely curious as a hookah smoker, or he's doing some sort of research. No harm is being done right now as far as I can see, but it would be nice if they would post and contribute a bit more to the forum in exchange for the data they are getting from us.

camelflage Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 we burn 10 boxes every couple months or so, figure 5-6 restocks per year so 500-600 bucks in coals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
