Top 5 of the best hookah charcoals for your heat management system
Choosing the right charcoal for your heating system is a crucial step in achieving thick smoke. Today there are a large number of brands of shisha charcoal and it can be difficult to find your way around. Note that there are two kinds of charcoal on the market, natural charcoal and self-igniting charcoal. Do you know the difference between these two hookah coals?
Natural charcoal VS self-igniting charcoal
If you smoke on Kaloud Lotus, Quasar Raas or any similar heating system, it is necessary to use natural charcoal. This shisha charcoal is made from coconut husks and contains no chemical additives. Natural charcoal therefore offers a softer finish on the throat. However, you will need a charcoal lighter (unless you have gas at home) to light your natural charcoal.
Self-igniting charcoal is used in combination with an aluminum preparation. The primary advantage of self-igniting charcoal is its ease of use. To light it, you will just need a lighter and a charcoal tongs to avoid getting burned.
As each heating system is specific, it is recommended to use the right shisha charcoal for maximum smoke!
