HMD Kaloud Lotus I+ Silver
$60.00
The original hookah heat management device, in its original silver finish.
The Kaloud Lotus I+ is the HMD that made heat management mainstream: your coals go inside the Lotus instead of on foil, the Lotus sits on top of the bowl, and its aluminum body spreads the heat evenly over the tobacco. Because the coals never touch the shisha, the smoke is smoother and cleaner-tasting, there is far less ash in the bowl and you get long sessions without poking foil or shuffling coals. This is the Original, "The Silver Lotus" finish, the classic look of the Lotus.
Why smokers switch to the Lotus
- Even, controllable heat. Turn the lid to open or close the vents and adjust the heat during the session.
- Cleaner flavor. The coals stay above the tobacco, so ash and coal taste stay out of the bowl.
- No foil. Nothing to wrap, poke or replace.
- Long sessions. Up to about 60 minutes from one load of coals.
- Built to last. High-grade aluminum, machined to aerospace and medical manufacturing standards, with a heat-resistant handle.
How to use the Kaloud Lotus I+
- Pack a phunnel-style bowl and set the Lotus directly on top. Never preheat the empty Lotus.
- Light your coals fully on a coal burner until every side glows.
- Lift the lid, drop in two large cubes, close it and give the bowl 5-10 minutes to heat up.
- Open the vents for more heat, close them to cool things down. Tap off the ash as it builds up.
Best coals and bowls for the Lotus
The ideal coal is a 26mm coconut cube like Amy Deluxe 26mm: it still fills the Lotus properly once fully lit. For the bowl, the Alpaca x Kaloud Special Edition bowls are cut specifically for Kaloud devices. Sizes and lighting tips are in our hookah coals guide.
