Hookah enthusiasts often have several questions about hookah coals, from their types to proper usage. In this article, I will explore some of the most popular questions about hookah coals.

1. What are the different types of hookah coals?
   There are two main types of hookah coals: natural coconut coals and quick-light coals.
   Natural coconut coals are made from compressed coconut shells and are considered the healthier option as they are chemical-free.
   Quick-light coals, on the other hand, contain chemicals to aid in ignition and have a shorter burn time than natural coconut coals.
2. How many coals should I use for my hookah session?
   The number of coals required for a hookah session depends on the size of the hookah bowl, the type of hookah coal being used, and the duration of the session.
   As a general rule, two or three hookah coals are sufficient for a standard hookah bowl. However, for larger hookah bowls or longer hookah sessions, more coals may be required.

3. Are natural coconut coals better than quick-light coals?
   Natural coconut coals are considered the healthier option for hookah enthusiasts as they do not contain chemicals and burn cleaner than quick-light coals.
   However, quick-light coals are more convenient and easier to ignite, making them a popular choice for hookah enthusiasts who are short on time.
4. Can I reuse hookah coals?
   It is not recommended to reuse hookah coals, as they can become contaminated with ash or tobacco residue and impact the flavor of the hookah.
   Additionally, the heat generated during a hookah session can cause the coals to break down and become porous, increasing the risk of mold and bacteria growth.
5. Are there any eco-friendly options for hookah coals?
   Yes, there are eco-friendly options for hookah coals, including bamboo coals and lemonwood coals. The best is coconut shell charcoal briquettes. Check our factory website for the specification and prices. These coals are made from renewable resources and are considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional coconut or quick-light coals.
6. Can I light hookah coals on my stove or microwave?
   While it may be tempting to light hookah coals on a stove or microwave, it is not recommended.
   This can result in the release of harmful chemicals and can impact the flavor of the hookah. It is recommended to use a dedicated hookah coal lighter or stove specifically designed for lighting hookah coals.
7. What is the difference between round and square hookah coals?
   The main difference between round and square hookah coals is their shape. Round hookah coals are circular in shape and typically have a longer burn time compared to square hookah coals.
   Square hookah coals, on the other hand, have a more uniform shape and are easier to stack, making them a popular choice for hookah enthusiasts.
8. How do I properly light and ash my hookah coals?
   To properly light hookah coals, use dedicated hookah coal lighter or stove. Light the coals evenly and allow them to ignite for several minutes until they are fully lit.
   Once the coals are lit, place them on top of the hookah bowl, ensuring that they are evenly spaced. As the hookah session progresses, the ash will accumulate on the coals. It is important to remove the ash regularly to prevent it from entering the hookah hose and affecting the flavor of the hookah.
