Today I want to talk about coals a product we use a lot but we don’t think about that much.
Today we’re comparing prestige jumbo flats, Сocourth flats and titanium flats. Let’s talk about the pros the cons and the performance of these three black charcoal.
What is the best Hookah Coal in 2020?
Some Information About Brands
Titanium Coal
Titanium’s have been out the longest john was pioneering in the industry when it came to charcoal when there was very limited options available he came out with his chronic hookah coals made some improvement came out a totally separate line called Titanium’s.
Сocourth Coal
They’ve been out for very many years now he has Q’s cubits and these flats Сocourth also great charcoal been out for a very long time. I’ve used many many kilos of this stuff they have their mini quarter circles they have the mini cubes and then the flaps that I’m using today.
I know they went through a recent revamp where they obtained their own factory so they get better quality controller coals so since they’ve come out that revamp I’ve been using a lot of them and they’ve been working really, really well.
Prestige Coal
Similarly Prestige also been out a very long time they recently went through a revamp as well and they wanted to improve upon some of the critiques that they got with their original batch so prestige made some great changes.
They’re a lot less ashy they’re super consistent and they’re excellent cold so these three coals are top contenders in the industry and that’s why I feel it’s fair to put them a head-to-head because I love all three of these coals.
They all work very well and I have no problem using one or the other setup.
Today I’m using my be too gorgeous pipe obviously using a b2 hose tip using my alpaca Goodfella v4 with a layer of HD foil and I’m packing in the mix that I am hooked on right now.
It is trifecta noir mixed with a little bit of peppermint shake and I’m out a venture peach so I’m going with a little bit of dark bdh also a peach melon mixture. So perfect mixture got the melon got the peach got the mint got the floral all it’s so good I am hooked on this stuff I just want to smoke it all day and this has been my go-to mix now for the past couple weeks so you guys do not see the review slash talking about the hookah Expo worldwide and the hookah battle.
Lightning the Hookah Coal
The first category that we’re going to talk about is obviously lighting the coals light time on all these very, very similar negligible at most a few seconds here and there difference: the Titanium’s did like the slowest but it was within a few seconds of the other ones so it didn’t matter to me smell on the burner.
Next category I do like my coals outside. So the smell is not a big issue to me but a few months ago I was lighting them inside and I did definitely notice the stench of one over the other.
What about Stench?
The coco Сocourth had a much stronger stench compared to the Titanium’s and the Prestige. I barely smell them at all Titanium’s about average smell Coco Сocourth was a little bit stronger but none of them were off-putting none of them really bother me it’s just something that I noticed.
So if I smell on the burner they’re all good with me. They’re not like other coals that I tried to pass where you cannot light them inside if you had it like these inside or even in a lounge environment, they work fine with me.
Just a reminder these are natural coals they do have to be lit on a burner of some sort you cannot light these with a match or a lighter there is no accelerant on these to help light them faster so you do need a stove or a burner of some type
Which is a type of coal I prefer you guys know that I don’t like the quick lighting coals they taint the flavor of the bowl and they are less healthy so terms of the burners that I use.
Which coal could I recommend?
I can tell you guys that all three coals are excellent coals to choose from these are my favorite coals.
These are the ones that I spend my money on and these are the three coals that would I recommend to you guys one thing I will note though the Сocourths I have experienced in this past batch alone they have been cracking a little.
Some people said in the past that said Titanium’s crack but the prestige I haven’t used it enough to see any cracking but we went through boxes and boxes at the expo with zero cracking.
So I would say it varies batch to batch amongst all three brands I think some batches are just better than the other ones but as you can see they’re still great a few cracks here and there and a few batches over this many year period that I’ve been using them, I’m not really that worried.
They are top three coals they do not black out so I would recommend all three brands you guys.
F.A.Q.
How to heat hookah coals?
The best way to heat these is on a coil stove top. Lay the coals on to the coil heater for 5 minutes on high (or medium-high) heat, then flip them over and give them another 5 minutes.
How much do hookah coals cost?
There are different prices. I think best Hookah Coal costs from $40 per pack.
Are coconut coals healthier?
Yes, they produce less CO from burning. Report from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26403022. The mean CO levels produced by quick-light charcoal over 90 minutes was significantly higher (3728 ± 2028) compared to natural charcoal (1730 ± 501 ppm, p = 0.016). However, the temperature was significantly greater when burning natural charcoal (292 ± 87) compared to quick-light charcoal (247 ± 92 degrees C, p = 0.013). The high levels of CO produced when using quick-light charcoals may be contributing to the increase in reported hospital admissions for severe CO poisoning.
