-
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.
