KaloudSamsaris Hookah Bowl - Silicone-Aluminum Hybrid Shisha Bowl - Fits Lotus I and I+ - Heat Management Device - Cleaner, Smoother, Tastier Hookah Flavor - Nubis

SUPER GREAT,

When I first ordered this Kaloud Samsaris Lapis bowl, I was wondering if anyone would pay the hefty asking price of around $49. A bowl can’t be that nice, or can it? This isn’t a small bowl, but rather a large one that combines the best of both worlds … silicone and aluminum. The black silicone jacket is the typical silicone I see in an inexpensive silicone bowl.The bowl is amazingly well-crafted. What I often see are clay-like bowls, similar to a cheap flower pot. This bowl is a high-quality one I might see in a higher quality hookah setup. The silicone, as mentioned, jackets the bowl. They do have a website which outlines exactly how to use their products. I do love the design this Kaloud has. This is a very high-quality bowl, the Rolls Royce of aluminum / silicone bowls. It’s that nice.

yes, these are more expensive than the ordinary standard hookah accessories, but these are well worth the extra dollars. they are supreme quality and always a hit at my parties bc many haven't seen these type of hookah heat management systems. they are definitely a sight to see, great craftsmanship (and they look expensive). I get a ton of usage of them, and they still work just as well as day 1 & have survived many drops. they come beautifully packaged making them great gifts for the hookah smoker. With covid, my friends and I have forewent visiting hookah lounges, but these products have made my at home experience top notch. Both the Lotus 1 & 2 HMS fit my pre-existing hookahs as well. thumbs up all around

What I like about aluminum is that it's sturdy. If your hookah doesn't have a particularly stable base, like most traditional hookahs, this hybrid silicone aluminum bowl is a great low stress option. I've broken more than a few clay and ceramic hookah bowls, which is why I got this aluminum one. Much less stress, especially for something so premium!

As a hookah smoker I know that it's a niche hobby, most of the stuff is over priced, this bowl is no exception. It is a VERY nice bowl, but I have a hard time justifying the cost for a silicon bowl with some aluminum in it.

The Hooka Bowl is heavy duty and great quality. The details are perfect. It can really provide a nice touch to an old hookah set. Highly recommended!

Hookah bowls are usually made of clay/ceramic. Aluminum burns the hottest out of those two & even burns hotter than glass bowls. This saves charcoal at the cost of heat management. The heat management is difficult which is why this is not a beginner bowl. If you don’t vent your lotus at the correct time you have a high probability of charring your shisha & once it’s burnt theirs no saving the bowl after that. This bowl fits perfectly with the lotus & I love how high quality & heavy the bowl itself is. You really need to know the ins/outs of heat management to properly use this bowl, but once you figure that out the bowl works ok & because it’s aluminum it heats up very fast. However, because of the difficulty of use I cannot recommend this to most people, I don’t find that the slight convenience of this bowl outweighs the performance of a clay bowl.Edit: aluminum bowls burn like a furnace, even with expertise I’m unable to heat manage without absolutely scorching the bowl. It isn’t worth the effort, get a clay bowl. Beautiful product though that’s all I can give it.

This Kaloud Samsaris Lapis Hybrid Hookah bowl is very cool. Very luxurious. Expensive. I didn't notice any difference when I used it vs any other cheap bowl I have used and honestly it was harder to use and keep the tobacco heated and smoking. I can't say it's worth the money or time, but you may have better success than me.
