Coal

[afrdzak]

I've been reading that a lot of people like 3 Kings coal.  Where can I get some?

[ZAP]

SocialSmoke.com has them.

Don't waste your money,  bud 

Go to either www.Hookah-Shisha.com or www.SouthSmoke.com and order some
GOLDEN COALS.  They're TOTALLY odorless and flavorless and won't
impart ANY charcoal flavor into your smoke like 3Kings will.

Buyer Beware!!!

Order at your own risk!!!

3Kings Coals.......SUCK!!!

you guys, i have a problem. i hate 3 kings and im currently using nours. but evrytime i use nours i tend to burn the tobacco. the reason this happens is because my hooka isnt 100% airtight. the hooka is pretty old and i think the stem has microscopic holes in it wher it meets the vase cuz everytime i blow(thers no air valve) i see litle bit of smoke coming out of that area. i put 2-3 pieces of nour coals on the bowl, enough to cover the entire bowl so i can get decent smoke, but it usually ends up burning it. i want to use goldens but i cant afford them popping cuz the place i smoke is my living room or sumtimes my room, and the rooms are full of carpet, couches chairs and stuff so its pretty dangerous i dont wanna risk it. is there a chance of making my hooka air tight, or should i just go ahead and buy a new one. i had my eye on that 25 dollar junior sultan from tobaccoimports.any input would be appreciated. thx

I'm using a Junior Sultan that I paid 40 bucks for and it's a fantastic
hookah,  really easy to clean,  and it fits right on top of
my desk next to my keyboard.  Why go thru all the bother of trying
to make an old hookah smoke like new again,  when for something as
cheap as $25 you could be smoking a CHAMPION hookah.  And the
Junior Sultan DOES have an air valve.  It sounds to me like it's
time for you to invest in a Brand Spankin New Hookah.  You'll
thank yourself for doing so.

Just my opinion,  but I don't like using old broken
merchandise.  When something breaks,  I usually either get it
fixed if possible or I replace it for a new one.  You are in the
position to replace your hookah,  and I don't know what your
monthly budget is,  but on ANY budget $25 for something like a new
hookah is VERY affordable.

If it was me,  I wouldn't even give it a second thought.  I'd
buy that Sultan in a second,  going on personal experience with
mine,  it's a real GEM!!!

Golden Coals? If those are the type that have a "sparking agent" they suck...
I've been using Abu Hitan japanese charcoal for the longest time and I seem to like them the best.  But I need to expand my horizon a bit.

[afrdzak]

Wait... there are 2 types of Golden Charcoal. There are the black quick light ones and then there's the silver ones.  Which ones are you guys talking about?
The Abu Hitan coals that I'm currently using is the same as the silver japanese Golden Coals.

[cypress]

When we refer to golden we typically refer to the disks. I hate the japaneese coals. They taste like crap. 

[Mathazar]

Hey man,  all quick-lites,  including 3Kings,  have a sparking agent.

The Golden Coals we're referring to are made in Holland just like the
3Kings,  only the Golden Coals are,  IMO,  FAR better
than 3Kings.

But,  you know what,  it's like you said,  you need to
broaden your horizons.  So what I reccommend you do is get a few
rolls of each brand,  and then you'll know first hand which one
you like better.  But,  if you don't like sparking
agents,  then you're certainly not going to like either Goldens or
3Kings 

[wyteboy]

for anyone who hates 3 kings, make sure it is RED HOT glowing on BOTH sides and has COMPLETELY stopped sparking.  I have found that it adds little to ZERO flavor to the ma'assel...Though I have yet to try the Golden, but I will be soon...

[Mathazar]

Yeah,  very soon,  like today,  when the UPS truck pulls-up with my shipment of Goldens for ya
