How do I light Starbuzz coals?

For the natural Coco Buzz natural coconut coals, you'll need to use an electric coil stove or charcoal burner. Place your charcoal directly on the electric coil or burner and turn it up to high. Once the bottom half of the coals are lit, give them a flip with your tongs so the other side can light. Depending on the size of the coal you're using and the power of the burner, these coals will be fully lit after approximately 7 to 15 minutes or when all sides of the coal are entirely covered in ash and glow red-orange. Starbuzz quick light coals can be lit using a standard flame lighter. Using a pair of tongs to hold the coal, hold the flame to its edge until it begins to spark. The hookah charcoal will begin to ignite and will be fully lit after approximately two to three minutes or until the charcoal has turned red-orange. Then, you'll be ready to smoke your Starbuzz tobacco.

What are the differences between Starbuzz's various coal shapes?

The original Coco Buzz flat coals offer versatile, medium-heat charcoal that can be used with both foil and heat management devices (HMDs). The Coco Buzz 2.0 cube and 3.0 big cube coals burn at a slightly hotter temperature with a slightly increased burn time than the Starbuzz charcoal flats, however, may be too large for some bowls or HMDs. The Starbuzz Tri-Cut and Quad-Cut coals offer a unique style of charcoal that's specifically designed for use in heat management devices. All of these shapes are natural coals and require the use of a charcoal burner to light. The "instant light" Starbuzz coals are disc-shaped, feature a chemical accelerant coating allowing them to be conveniently lit with an open flame, and offer a lower level of heat during your sessions.

How long do Starbuzz coals last when smoking?

Starbuzz hookah coals burn for an average of 45 minutes to one hour; however, the hookah charcoal's burn time can be affected by several factors including coal shape, coal type, how often you inhale, and the overall level of airflow surrounding your hookah. Using a charcoal wind cover or heat management device can help increase the overall performance of your coals if desired.

How many pieces of Starbuzz hookah coal should I use on my bowl?

When using natural hookah charcoal, we recommend using two to three pieces of charcoal on your hookah bowl at one time, depending on the size of your bowl and choice of hookah tobacco. If using the Starbuzz quick light coals, we recommend using one to two pieces of Starbuzz charcoal on your bowl at one time. For more information on hookah heat management, check out our blog here.

Can you reuse Starbuzz charcoal after a hookah session?

Some say that it's not a good idea to reuse charcoal because it can harbor bacteria, while others say that it's perfectly safe to do so as long as you take a few precautions. If you want to reuse your Cocobuzz charcoal or quick light coal, make sure that the charcoal is completely cooled before reuse. Do not reuse charcoal that has been used for more than one session. You should clean the charcoal thoroughly and dry it before reuse. Do not store the charcoal in a humid environment. If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to reuse hookah charcoal without any problems.
