All about the Kaloud

The Kaloud is familiar in the world of hookah. Its goal is to achieve powerful and long-lasting heat while reducing the amount of charcoal used. This system replaces the aluminum foil with an ingenious system. Do you want to know more about the Kaloud? Here is a detailed article to help you learn all the secrets of this small accessory highly appreciated by hookah smokers.

What is a Kaloud?

The Kaloud is the name given to a heating system for hookahs. The only true Kaloud is that of the Lotus brand, and it is a device manufactured exclusively in the United States. It is made from very high-quality materials, borrowed from the aerospace and medical industries. Its role is to regulate the transfer of heat from the charcoal to the hookah tobacco.

 Thanks to the Kaloud Lotus, it is very simple to prepare and enjoy your hookah; today it is no longer necessary to have experience to use natural cube or triangle coals. You will use less coal for your session and therefore inhale fewer residues, and the ashes are reduced. The use of aluminum foil is no longer necessary, and you no longer need to rotate the coal. The airflow inside the Kaloud allows the coal not to go out.In the end, using the hookah becomes much simpler, more enjoyable, and the flavors more noticeable and intense. Say goodbye to poorly prepared hookahs.

Use and functionality of the Kaloud

The Kaloud comes in the form of a small pot. The lid has adjustable openings to regulate the heat; it can be removed to allow you to place the hookah charcoal inside. Heat the cubes on a natural charcoal lighter (this is the fastest solution) or with the help of a small blowtorch. Then place the Kaloud above the bowl, previously filled with hookah tobacco. Make sure that the Kaloud completely covers the bowl and close the vents to retain as much heat as possible. Then adjust the opening if you want a more or less intense heat.

Combustion will take place under the best conditions. The biggest advantage of the Kaloud remains that the charcoal ashes will not come into contact with the hookah tobacco.

Under no circumstances should the Kaloud be preheated on a gas stove or a heat source.Indeed, this could deform it and damage it. And it would no longer be guaranteed.

Items offered at a lower price should alert you. On the market, there existsA huge amount of fake Kalouds are sold for around 10-15€, These heating systems are of very poor quality and do not provide the same performance as the genuine Kaloud.

In other words, pale copies of this device are not designed in the same spirit nor with the same high-quality materials. Kaloud therefore certifies that the raw materials used are in no way harmful to users' health.
