I use them on occasion and have had no problems.They're like any other coal, you just have to be careful.

I don't prefer them, but exoticas aren't that bad. I find you need to let them develop a thicker layer of ash before pulling them, I usually let them get red all the way to the top until just the very top is black and then I flip them to make sure they...

These coals suck. Plain and simple. Twice the size of normal coco squares, and twice the heat. 2 of these on a vortex bowl of Nak DA, cooked it within 3 hits. These are useless for anything except black leaf.

I received 2 rolls of these quicklights with my hookah order from hookah-shisha.com, and decided to review them for those who are interested. Right of the bat, im going to tell you there are many other quicklight brands better than ignites( 3 Kings, Golden, a brand i can't mention..). These coals are a bit harder to light than the other brands I mentioned, but it's not a huge hassle. Regarding longevity, they're not very long lasting. I would say around 35 mins. They don't hold up that well, a crumble a lot after a while when you try to shift them on the bowl. At the start of the smoking session, you can sense a "charcoally" taste, but it dissapates after a while. I just make sure most of the black powder covering the coal is burned away before placing it on the bowl. Overall, I would rate these coals a 6.5/10. I suggest buying one of the brands i mentioned earlier, or even if you have the ability to use natural coals, do it, it will be worth your while.

I agree with everything BigPoppa said. The coals have a strong campfire smell, but when you take them off the stove there is no odor. As for length, they last as long as a normal coconut coal (1 hour). However, I have had a problem with them splittin...

I recently bought a box of these on sale to try and I agree, the airflow design keeps them lit fairly well and they heated my bowl up perfectly. I used two on my vortex bowl. I had to end my session after about 45 minutes and at that time they still ha...
