Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Lotus II Aluminum as good as stainless steel?
Yes. It uses the same patented design. Aluminum heats faster and is lighter, while stainless steel retains heat longer for sessions up to 90 minutes.
-
How long will my sessions last?
Expect up to 70 minutes of consistent flavor and smooth smoke with proper coal management.
-
Does it fit all hookah bowls?
Yes. The Lotus II Aluminum is designed for universal compatibility and fits all Kaloud Samsaris bowls as well as most traditional bowls.
-
Is aluminum safe for hookah use?
Absolutely. Kaloud uses high-grade aluminum with a proprietary non-toxic finish. There is no anodizing or powder coating that can flake off into your session.
-
How do I clean the Lotus II Aluminum?
Allow it to cool completely, rinse with warm water, and gently scrub with a soft brush. Avoid soaps and harsh cleaners to preserve performance.
-
How many coals should I use?
Use 2–3 natural coconut coals (25mm recommended). Adjust based on your bowl and shisha flavor profile.
-
Can I preheat the Lotus II Aluminum?
No. Never place it directly on coals or stovetops. Place the device on your bowl and allow the coals inside to naturally heat it.
