Kaloud Samsaris High Heat Bowl for Lotus III

This is a high heat bowl. It is built to run hot and it will run hotter than you expect. The Kaloud Samsaris High Heat for the Lotus III is a silicone and aluminium hybrid, patented in the USA, China, the European Union, and Hong Kong.

Read that first line again, because most returns on this bowl come from people who wanted a standard bowl. If your sessions already run warm, or you smoke light cut tobacco, or you have ever scorched a bowl, buy the Samsaris Vitria III instead. This one is for people who deliberately want more heat than a normal bowl will give them.

Who it is for

• Dense cut tobacco that never quite comes alive in a standard bowl
• Dark leaf that needs real heat to open up
• Cold rooms, outdoor sessions, and anywhere ambient temperature is working against you
• Smokers who run fewer coals and want more out of them

Who it is not for

Anyone using blonde leaf, anyone who already fights harshness, and anyone new to heat management. Start with the Vitria III. You can always move up.

Running it without scorching

Use fewer coals than you normally would. That is the single adjustment. The bowl does the work that an extra coal used to do, so keeping your old coal count is how people burn a bowl in fifteen minutes.

Start with the Lotus lid off, then close the vents progressively. Fluff pack, and leave a few millimetres between the tobacco and the top.

Why a hybrid bowl

Aluminium in the body spreads heat evenly across the base instead of concentrating it in the middle. Silicone at the lip gives the Lotus III something to grip, so the device seats properly and nothing escapes around the edge.

Finishes

Argis, Cyris, and Nubis. Finish does not change how the bowl performs.

Common questions

How much hotter is it really?

Enough that you should drop a coal. Kaloud's own warning on this bowl is in capital letters, and they are not being dramatic.

Should I buy this or the Vitria III?

Vitria III unless you have a specific reason to want more heat. This bowl solves a problem most people do not have.

Which HMD does it fit?

The Kaloud Lotus III.

Do I need a silicone sleeve?

No. The lip is part of the bowl.

How do I stop it scorching?

Fewer coals, fluff pack, and start with the lid off.

Is it genuine?

Yes. 5StarHookah is a contracted Kaloud dealer and every bowl comes from Kaloud.
