BattlePope Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hey, I know that Golden's and 3 Kings are virtually the best QL coals but I know virtually nothing about natural coals. Which are best? Fingers? Japs? Which brand would you recommend? Checked the reviews section and there seem to be a lot of decent ones so I can't decide. Thanks guys.

xpimpitox Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i personally recommend canary golden japanese coals but are a bit pricey. i ordered some sultan japanese easy lites from mnhookah today so ill let ya know how those work out, a lot cheaper too!

worr lord Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I just had a few Romman natural coals literally blow apart on me while lighting them over a fire, so I wouldn't really recommend using those particular naturals. A lot of people swear by Japanese coals like Canary, but I've never used them, so I can't say. I normally just stick to Golden or 3 Kings quick lights to get the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastSmoker Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I definitely prefer either Al Ajdad (found at Hookah-shisha) or Nour natural coals over Goldens or Quicklights. They burn longer, more evenly, and impart little to no flavors into the shisha. However, for ease of use and when I travel with my hookah, yes, I absolutely still keep some Golden quicklights around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i personally prefer 3 kings over anything. im currently using a really crappy quik lite brand called 'Rolland'.they are horrible! they smell funky when lighting them and they give a wierd taste to the hookah for the forst 15 min of the hookah session...natural coals are just too messy and take to long to light.

crunchyorphan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I like natural coals. I really like the olive wood coals. I got a $10 electric stove from wal-mart. i put the coals on before i set up the hookah. By the time ive changed the water and loaded a new bowl the coals are almost ready to go. The olive wood coals don't smell when they heat up so you it do it indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I like the Natural Lemmon wood coals myself.. but as mentioned. they can pop on you and fling an ember out on the floor. I use them along with a windcover.... seems to have put an end to that prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a ~1.5 inch long piece literally explode into about 6 pieces, all over the floor (tile floor, so no big deal there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I prefer Japanese coals because of their ease of use: they light relatively quickly compared to finger coals and ash very nicely. I would use finger coals more regularly, but I can't stand how much they ash (and sometimes roll off the bowl!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
