{"product_id":"babylon-shisha-kolen-1kg-26mm-kokos-natuurkolen","title":"Babylon Shisha Coals 1kg 26mm Coconut - Premium Hookah Coals Natural Coals","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCoconut hookah coals: what makes Babylon different\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBabylon shisha coals are made from 100% coconut shells. These are compressed into a solid 26 mm cube. This size fits almost any hookah tobacco bowl, whether you work with foil, use an HMD, or have a chimney. The coals burn calmly and evenly, release no odor or taste, and leave less than 2% ash. That means a lot less mess in your tobacco bowl and less hassle during the session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package weighs 1 kg. On average, count on 2 to 3 coals per session, and you'll get quite a few evenings out of it. Coconut coals generally burn longer than cheap quick-lighters. With Babylon, you can expect at least an hour and a half of burning time per coal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you notice while smoking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood hookah coals are not seen, but they are noticed. With Babylon coals, the temperature remains stable, so your \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/shisha-tabak-en-waterpijp-tabak\"\u003eshisha tobacco\u003c\/a\u003e is heated evenly without burning. This gives dense, full smoke clouds without the bitter aftertaste you get when coals get too hot. The heat is powerful but controlled, exactly what you want when planning a longer session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the coals are neutral, you only taste the flavor of your tobacco. That is the great advantage of coconut over pressed charcoal briquettes: no aftertastes, no chemical smell when lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to light Babylon coals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoconut hookah coals do not light with a regular lighter or stove top. You need an electric coal burner. Place the coals on the burner, set it to the highest setting, and let them glow for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through so that all sides get hot. The coals are ready when they are glowing orange on all sides and no black spots are visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't have a burner yet? Check out the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kolenbrander-op-elektriciteit\"\u003eelectric coal burners\u003c\/a\u003e in our shop. A good burner makes lighting easier and faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow many coals to use and how to place them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a standard hookah tobacco bowl with foil, 2 coals are usually enough to get up to temperature. If you use an HMD or a chimney, 3 coals work better because the heat needs more space to circulate. Place the coals at the edge of the bowl, not directly in the center. This way you don't burn the tobacco directly and you can easily adjust the heat by sliding a coal away if it gets too hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen using \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/keramische-en-porseleinen-tabakskoppen\"\u003eceramic or porcelain tobacco bowls\u003c\/a\u003e: start with 2 coals and only add a third when the smoke gets thinner. This way you get the most out of every gram of tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuitable for all setups\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBabylon hookah coals work well in combination with:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum foil on the tobacco bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHMDs (heat management devices) such as a Kaloud Lotus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChimney sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional clay tobacco bowls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern silicone or porcelain bowls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sturdy composition ensures that the coals retain their shape and do not collapse during smoking. This is useful when working with foil, because loose ash or broken pieces of coal make it easier to get dirty.

Moisture is the enemy of coconut coals: they become harder to light and release more smoke when burned. If you have an opened package, seal it with a clip or transfer the coals to an airtight container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoals that you extinguish halfway through the session can be stored and relit later. Place them on the burner as usual and let them glow completely again. They will burn a little shorter than new ones, but are perfectly usable for another time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete your shisha evening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood hookah coals are just the beginning.

A silicone hose is easy to clean and leaves no aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a good grip on the coals, use a coal holder or hookah tongs.
