When you enter into the magic world of hookah, it’s difficult to decide which hookah you want. There are so many things to consider such as brand, materials used, price, size, etc.Hookah is a great choice for relaxation but you must know how to properly utilize the accessories you need in order to ensure a great session for yourself. One of the most important elements to a great hookah smoking experience is the charcoal that you use. There are two different types of charcoal available in today’s market, natural charcoal and quick light charcoal.

For longer use we recommend natural coals for travel and emergencies quick lights are my coal of choice.
For beginners who are just learning how to properly use Hookah, quick light charcoal is the best one. Quick light charcoals are normally coated with sulfur that helps the charcoal heat itself quickly. They normally come in ring or circle shaped pieces. The brands may vary and with quick light charcoal so making the right decision helps ensure you a pleasurable session. These are more convenient, easy for travel and emergencies.

Natural charcoals are used to enjoy a longer session and it is the cleanest way to smoke Hookah and they are odorless. Normally they come in cube shapes and require a high consistent heat source to utilize them for smoking. Normally an electric coil burner does the job. When the coals are on the burner they first start off in their original charcoal black color. Once on the burner they begin to turn orange. When the charcoal is orange on side use tongs to flip them to prepare the other side. The process of lighting coals normally takes about 10 minutes. The most important part about burning natural coals is to make sure that all sides are giving off the orange hue so that you know immediately that they are properly lit.
