What are the different types of Charco Flare coal shapes?

Charco Flare offers several different shapes of hookah charcoal. The flat coals offer a medium heat level. They're a versatile coal that can be used with both foil and heat management devices. The 25 mm cube charcoal and 27 mm XL cube coals are larger than the flats for higher temperatures and increased burn time. However, these may be too large for some bowls and heat management devices. The lotus cut or quarter circle cut coals are designed for use in HMDs like the Kaloud Lotus Plus. The type of charcoal you use depends on your setup and the type of hookah experience you want to achieve. Check out our blog for further assistance if you want to learn more about hookah charcoal.

How long do Charco Flare coals last during a hookah session?

Charco Flare is one of the best brands for natural charcoal and works great for a long-term quality hookah session. You can expect a 45- to 60-minute burn time using their coconut charcoal. The longevity is affected by coal shape, inhales, and any airflow near your hookah. A charcoal wind cover or heat management device can help increase the longevity of your coals.

What is the difference between natural charcoal and quick light charcoal?

Hookah charcoal can be divided into two categories: quick-light coals and natural coals. Natural hookah coals typically have zero chemicals and sustain long-term heat. To light the natural option, you'll need a substantial heat source like an electric stove or a separate electric coil burner. If you're looking for the best natural charcoal for your smoke session, Charco Flare coconut charcoal is a great option in terms of taste, odor, heat level, and minimal ash residue. Quick-light coals light up faster than natural coals with the help of accelerants. These only require a lighter or a matchstick but may burn in a shorter span. Quick lights may change the taste of the hookah. For odorless and tasteless hookah charcoal, checkout natural coconut charcoal options.
