A high-quality hookah charcoal is distinguished by three main factors: high heat performance, low ash content, and complete odorlessness. Good charcoal does not crack or disintegrate while burning. Coco Night 100% natural coconut hookah charcoal meets the highest quality standards (Class A), offering a minimum calorie value of 7300 kcal/kg and a very low ash content of up to 2%. Its cube shape remains intact throughout the burning process, providing high, consistent heat until the end of the session.

Headaches, throat irritation, or nausea after hookah smoking are often caused by poor charcoal quality. Fast-burning (sulfur/chemically treated) charcoals, or low-quality products that use chemical adhesives during pressing, release harmful chemical gases along with carbon monoxide during combustion. Coco Night hookah charcoals, however, are made from completely organic coconut shells without any chemical additives, thus preventing smoke, odor, or headaches. They offer a clean smoking experience without altering the true aroma of the tobacco.

Natural coconut hookah charcoal, unlike chemical lighter charcoal, does not ignite spontaneously; it requires an external heat source to light. The most accurate and safest method is to use an electric charcoal burner . After placing the charcoal on the burner, you should wait until it is completely red-hot, which takes approximately 8-10 minutes. Make sure that not only the bottom but all surfaces of the charcoal are completely glowing before placing it in your hookah. Using partially burned charcoal will spoil the taste of the hookah and may cause it to go out.

The size difference is entirely related to heat management and session duration.26mm cube hookah charcoal: Perfect for standard bowls, foil-mounted use, and HMDs (heat management devices/Lotus), offering excellent heat retention.27mm and 28mm cube hookah charcoal: Thanks to its larger volume, it provides higher calories and a longer burning time. It is especially preferred by those who use wide bowls, those who like intense heat, and by high-traffic establishments such as Shisha Lounges to extend the session duration.

The biggest advantage of high-quality natural charcoal is its long lifespan. Thanks to its high calorific density, Coco Night hookah charcoals offer an average of 90 to 120 minutes of uninterrupted burning time at room temperature and in a windless environment. Because it doesn't lose heat during this time, it eliminates the need to constantly replace charcoal in the middle of a hookah session.

To prevent the charcoal from going out, you must first ensure that it is completely glowing red on the stove. To prevent the hookah from burning (the tobacco from being scalded), you should place the charcoal towards the edges of the bowl, not in the center. You can use pre-cut aluminum foil to distribute the heat evenly or control the airflow with heat management devices. Since Coco Night charcoal has a very low ash content, occasionally shaking off the light ash on the charcoal during the session will allow it to air out, completely eliminating the risk of it going out.

Natural coals, due to their porous structure, can easily absorb moisture and humidity from the air. Moisten coal becomes harder to burn, may crackle, or its heating performance decreases. Therefore, you should store your coals in a dry, moisture-free, and dark place, away from direct contact with the ground. Once opened, tightly sealing the package or storing it in an airtight container will preserve the quality of the coal as if it were brand new.
