coals

[runride]

i need to get more coals... im not sure if i should continue to get the bar of silver ones ( i think theyre called easy-lite ) or the al-amir disks. the al-amir come in a gold wrap in boxes of 50 im pretty sure... do they work well? do they have a bad odor/taste? please let me know!

[runride]

also, do they take very long to light with a bic lighter? the easy lite silver ones sure do with out a stove nearby

never really heard of eithe rof em, the bets known ones areound here
are golden quicklites, 3 kings quicklights, japanese 'quick' light,
lemon wood, olive wood, and nour finger coals. i assume you want
quicklights in which case i would reccomend 3 kings or golden, 3 kings
dont burn as hot or long but are safer, the golden coals taste better,
burn hot, and last over an hour, but there is a chance it could
explode, or send sparks flyingin some random direction, so unless ou
can fabricate some safety measures or dont mind the occasional burn to
yourself or your property, go with 3 kings

3 kings adds a lot of charcoal flavor to your smoke.  If you're
going to get quick-lights,  then go on over to: 
www.Hookah-Shisha.com and buy they're 3pack of Golden Coals.  Each
box has 100 coals,  and there's 3 boxes for around $36.  Best
deal on the web

I prefferre natural woods such as Nour. If you go with quick lights I recomend Golden Coals.

I've not had the charcoal flavor issues that some have described here
with the 3 kings coals.  The so-called japanese quick lites,
however, just tasted nasty. 

Lately I've been getting the 40mm 3 kings, and either breaking them in
half or quarters prior to lighting.  They break fairly cleanly,
unlike some of the other similar coals which seem to disintegrate
sometimes when broken.

nour coal or cococha coal best coal for shisha.

 I prefer japanese and natural olive or lemon wood.  Both are quick lighting for me.  I put on a glove, grab a coal with the tongs, hit it with the blow torch and in 6 seconds it is ready!

[Mathazar]

Nour Coals are also excellent.

"blow torch" 

I've got one of those and it's Fantastic. On the high setting,  I
give it about 20 seconds and the whole coal is REDHOT

I just use the good ole gas stove with the top part of a steamer
pot.  Works great and I can transport it and dont have to worry
about explosion or droping a coal while lighting.

you guys, where can i get nour coals offline. I know there are some websites taht show nour but send you something else. So i need a site that has the actual nour charcoals.

3 Kings have always been kind to me. They light well with a bic, impart
no charcoal taste that I've noticed, and they are available locally so
it's convenient for me.
The way I use 'em is I start with one in the center for about 10
minutes then use the tongs to spit it in half. If the smoke starts to
get a little weak, I break them further, lift off the screen, toss the
tobacco, and put the screen and coals back on.
