Al Fakher Easy Light Charcoal 40mm - Self-Igniting Hookah Coals 1 Roll

Al Fakher Easy Light Coals - instant ignition, long-lasting quality

Hookah coals are a component you choose quickly, but one that has a big impact on your session. Al Fakher Easy Light Coals (40mm) are self-igniting shisha coals: light them with a regular lighter, and they'll be ready for use within 30 seconds. No separate coal burner needed, just a quick start to a good session. They burn evenly for 40 minutes, which is just enough for a relaxed shisha evening.

Al Fakher is one of the most trusted names in the shisha world. The brand has been known for quality for decades. These coals are 40mm in diameter, a common size that fits most hookah bowls and heat management accessories.

What makes these hookah coals good?

There are many types of easy light coals on the market, but not every roll is equally reliable. Al Fakher Easy Light Coals distinguish themselves on a few points:

• Quick ignition - fully burning within 30 seconds. That saves time and hassle, especially if you plan multiple sessions in an evening.
• 40-minute burn time - long enough for a nice shisha session without having to light new coals halfway through.
• Even burning - the heat is stable from start to finish. This is important for good flavor from your hookah bowl.
• Quality brand - Al Fakher delivers consistent quality, also in their coal assortment.

Who are these shisha coals for?

Al Fakher Easy Light Coals are a good choice for beginners who don't yet have a coal burner. You only need a lighter. Also handy for those who smoke occasionally and don't set up a hookah every day. And practical for travelers: a roll fits easily in a bag and you can use it anywhere.

How to use easy light hookah coals?

Using easy light coals is simple, but a few tips will help you get started:

1. Hold the coal with tongs - always use hookah tongs. Coals get very hot.
2. Light with a lighter - hold the flame to the edge of the coal. After 20 to 30 seconds, it will be fully glowing.
3. Wait until the coal is fully glowing - a grayish surface over the entire coal is the sign that it's ready. Only then place it on your bowl.
4. Use heat management - a Kaloud or metal chimney helps distribute the heat well.
5. Ventilate well - easy light coals can give off some smoke when lighting. Ensure fresh air near an open window.

Easy light coals versus natural coals

Easy light coals ignite quickly without extra equipment. They are convenient for spontaneous sessions. Natural coals, such as Black Coco hookah coals or Tom Coco shisha coals, give a purer taste and burn longer, but you need a shisha coal burner for them.

For a spontaneous session at home or on the go, Al Fakher Easy Light Coals are therefore the practical choice. For those who smoke daily and want maximum flavor, hookah and shisha natural coals are the better long-term investment.

Complete your shisha session

Good coals are half the story. Combine Al Fakher Easy Light Coals with your favorite flavor from the Al Fakher shisha tobacco range. Or choose something new from the wide range of shisha tobacco and hookah tobacco.

Also make sure the rest of your setup is in order. A good hookah bowl ensures proper heat distribution. A nice hookah hose makes smoking more pleasant. And aluminum foil and pokers help you cover the bowl well.

Choosing the right coal size

Hookah coals come in different sizes, usually 33mm and 40mm. Al Fakher Easy Light Coals are 40mm. This is the most popular size for home use, as they give off more heat and last longer than the smaller 33mm variant. For larger hookah bowls and phunnels, 40mm is the standard choice.

Are you using a smaller bowl or a traditional Egyptian bowl? Then 33mm can also be an option. But for most modern shisha setups, the 40mm coals are the best choice. Also check out shisha coals for a complete overview of all sizes and brands we offer.
