mattarios2 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I want to try coco ultimates and see how they compare to coconara. If they are the same I would rather stock coco ultimates as I can probably get them for a much better price than coconara which would mean a better price for you guys. Those of you that have tried coco ultimates, any details you can give? More/less heat that other leading coconut coals? Ash? Duration? Smell when lighting? I will go check the reviews section now.

mattarios2 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 To the genies: I'd have to try them out first and also get pricing. There are a couple diff coals that I can get for real cheap. So if they are as good as what I have access to and pricing is similar i'd be down to give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older reviews seem to say the same on other forums that they cracked easily. You are saying it barely does that now? Maybe he revised them.

mattarios2 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Interesting, I will prob order a case or so to test them out, if I can get a good offer on genies to test them out I'd snag those also and test those too. Seeing they are a cube they are probably good for low heat tobaccos like tang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Since definitely a no go on the CH coals it appears, and coconaras are waay more expensive than coco ultimates, I will be getting a couple cases of coco ultimates. If I can sell them for a better price than most coconut coals and they burn comparable to other coconut coals I think we will have a winner. So I will be getting in a couple cases to test them and will offer them at a special price for you guys to review them and let me know what you think. If consensus is they are garbage I will get coconaras. Maybe golden canarys one day along with a coconut coal, we will see how these go first since more people use coconut coals vs Japanese. If they do go well I will offer package deals with coals and tobacco. I will update you guys and edit my pdf file with coal prices once they come in.

dizzbizz Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Cool. I'd be more than happy to try them out and give you an honest review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Great, as soon as they come in I will make a post here and in my vendor thread, first come first serve, you will be able to pm me, call me, or email me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 i'd do a review but im not a fan of those coco ultimates i know people that are but im not personally. I think you'd have more luck selling any coco over japs on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd have more luck selling any coco over japs on this forum. Agreed. But lets face it pavo, you are not really a fan of coconut coals in general right? As long as they don't break extremely easily, and they last a comparable amount of time vs the other coals and don't ash like crap, I'd rather have that with a huge decrease in price vs other brands. My goal with selling the nakhla (potentially other brands soon) and coals is to give our members a huge discounted price that is fair while still maintaining good product offerings.

Chreees Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sooooo, even though Coconara won, you went with Ultimates? No offense, but I don't get it. Coconara won 13 to 4... I've heard mixed things on Ultimates, so I will probably never purchase them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 That's alright Chreees. The point is, the price of coconaras wholesale is bs, I wouldn't be able to give a deal on them, they are far too expensive. So I want to try out coco ultimates and let you guys do the same, if we are all pleasantly surprised then no harm, only good. Going by reviews is tough because they have been re formulated a time or two and most reviews are older that I have seen. If consensus is we like them, I will stock them and be able to give really good pricing on them, if not, then I will get cocos and charge the regular price for them. And keep in mind, a bunch of people who said they wanted this flavor and that flavor never order them, a bunch of people who said they would order never did, which is ok, maybe they will in the future, maybe not, but my point is the poll isn't always translated into what really happens. It can be used for many other purposes rather than what is up front in the voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah, I guess you're right. Hell, I may even have to give them a go, form my own opinion. But it will probably be a while, since I have 5 boxes of CCNs still. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lol no prob, if I get the ok, from the owner of the coals, I will break them up and sell them really really cheap, so you guys can sample them for an extremely low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'd be interested to see if they stink while lighting. That's something I have to avoid. It's also a subjective so you can't really trust reviews. I have stuck with CCN so far because they have virtually no smell when lighting. It'd be nice to have other options, but it's hard to try other stuff when CCN is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuckthatvincekid Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I use Ultimates! They work fine. I mean, Coconara is definitely the top tier coconut coal, but ultimates are functionally the same. The differences are- 1. The cut CAN be inconsistent, but not so much that it puts me off. Just a slightly wider coal here or there. 2. The smell varies from batch the batch, but is never that awful IMO. CN might last a little longer, but for the price difference, you're much better off with Ultimates (again, just my opinion.) I hope anyone that tries them has a favorable experience, but we know how picky some of us can be.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Lol, I find even CCN has inconsistent sizes here and there, so does CH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
