| Lotus III | Kore Ceramic, Lapis II, Vitria III, Samsaris II Aluminum |

Which Lotus should I buy if I do not know their hookah?
+
Any Lotus. It sits on top of the bowl and replaces foil, so it fits any standard hookah bowl. Choose the Lotus I+3 for longer sessions on up to four large charcoal cubes, or the Lotus III for its vented lid and rotating handles. Add a Samsaris bowl later once you know which Lotus they use.
What comes in a Complete System?
+
Every core part, matched. The Calix 2.0 Complete System includes the hookah, a Lotus I+3 Auris, a Samsaris Qi clay bowl, an Aeolis Nirvaya 11 inch hose and the Selestia Breathing LED Light. The Eltheria 2.0 Complete System includes the hookah with clear vessels, a Lotus I+3, a Samsaris Qi clay bowl, an Aeolis Niris hose and the Selestia light. Charcoal is sold separately.
What is the difference between the Lotus I+3 and the Lotus III?
+
Material and capacity. The Lotus I+3 has a stainless steel base with an aluminum wall and lid, holds up to four large charcoal cubes and runs sessions up to 90 minutes. The Lotus III is aluminum with a vented lid for heat control and integrated rotating handles. Both replace foil and trap ash above the bowl.
What is the last day to order for Christmas delivery?
+
December 15 for standard shipping in the lower 48 states. December 19 for express and December 22 for overnight. These dates follow the carriers' published 2026 schedules and are recommendations, not guarantees. Gift cards are delivered by email and have no cutoff.
