Hookah Bowl - FAQs
What's a Hookah Bowl?
A hookah bowl is the top part of your setup that holds shisha tobacco. Its shape and material affect flavour, heat retention, and session length. Popular styles include phunnel bowls for juicy blends, traditional clay heads for flavour, and silicone designs for durability.
What is the best option for beginners?
Beginners often start with silicone or wide ceramic bowls since they’re durable and easy to clean. For those who want a more classic feel, clay is another choice, though it requires more care.
How do I clean and maintain clay bowls?
Rinse clay bowls with warm water and scrub gently with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, which can cause cracks.
Can I smoke without foil?
Yes — heat management devices (HMDs) like the Kaloud Lotus can replace foil. Just make sure to pair them with a compatible style such as phunnel or silicone.
Which bowl type lasts the longest?
Metal-based bowls and premium silicone models are the most resistant to cracks and damage. With proper care, clay bowls can also last for years, though they’re more fragile.
