Kaloud Samsaris Kore Qì (氣) - Red Clay Shisha Bowl With Integrated Grommet

Why This Shisha Bowl

• Responsive red clay heat profile - the porous red clay core absorbs and distributes heat faster than black clay and retains it more actively than ceramic, delivering a warm, energetic session across all tobacco types.
• Two capacity options in one design - the 15g bowl suits focused 45-60 minute sessions, while the deeper 30g bowl extends your session to 60-90 minutes. Both share the same ~91 mm top diameter and identical heat behaviour, so your HMD setup stays consistent.
• Integrated high-temperature silicone grommet - creates an airtight seal on most standard shisha pipe stems without a separate grommet or adapter. The silicone housing also protects the clay core and makes the bowl comfortable to handle.
• Tall tapered stem for deep, stable seating - sits securely in the downstem for a wobble-free connection, even during extended sessions or when adjusting your HMD.
• Engineered for Kaloud Lotus HMDs - designed to sit flush with the Lotus I+, I+3, II, and III for even heat distribution without gaps. Also works with most third-party heat management devices.
• Clay that develops character over time - the porous surface naturally seasons with use, subtly deepening flavour the more you smoke. Slight surface moisture after sessions is normal and part of the material’s behaviour.

Fit and Compatibility

The Kore Qì Tall fits most standard shisha pipes thanks to its integrated silicone grommet - no adapters, no aftermarket grommets, no guesswork. It’s fully compatible with every Kaloud Lotus heat management device: the Lotus I+3, the Lotus I+, the Lotus II, and the Lotus III. It also works with most third-party HMDs that share standard bowl dimensions.

How to Use It

• Select your bowl size based on session length - 15g for a focused 45-60 minute session, 30g for a fuller 60-90 minute session.
• Pack shisha evenly to just below the rim, level with the top of the centre spire. Avoid overpacking - it restricts airflow and can scorch the underside of your HMD.
• Place your Kaloud Lotus or preferred HMD directly on top of the bowl.
• Add 2-3 natural coconut charcoal cubes (25 mm recommended) inside the HMD.
• Allow 3-5 minutes for the bowl to reach temperature before your first draw.
• Adjust the HMD lid position throughout the session to control heat and airflow. The red clay responds quickly, so small adjustments make a noticeable difference.

Care and Maintenance

• Allow the bowl to cool completely before handling or cleaning.
• Rinse with water only - never use soap, detergents, or abrasive materials. These can penetrate the porous clay and taint future sessions.
• Use a soft brush to gently remove any residue if needed.
• Air dry the bowl fully before storing or reusing. Trapped moisture affects heat behaviour and can cause uneven sessions.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Slight surface moisture after use is a normal characteristic of porous red clay. This contributes to flavour development as the bowl seasons over time.

What’s the difference between the 15g and 30g Kore Qì Tall?

Both share the same ~91 mm top diameter and identical red clay heat profile. The 30g bowl is deeper, holding more tobacco for extended sessions of 60-90 minutes. The 15g suits shorter, more focused sessions of 45-60 minutes. Your HMD sits the same way on both - choose based on how long you like to smoke.

How does the Qì red clay compare to the Dào black clay?

The Qì red clay reacts more quickly to heat changes and produces a warmer, more energetic flavour profile - ideal for versatile, responsive sessions. The Dào black clay offers steadier, more controlled heat retention for slower, deliberate sessions with consistent depth. Both are part of Kaloud’s Clay and Ceramic Collection and share the same Kore body design.

Do I need a separate grommet for this bowl?

No. The Kore Qì Tall has an integrated silicone grommet built into the housing. It fits most standard shisha pipe stems without any adapter or additional grommet.

Can I use this bowl with non-Kaloud HMDs?

Yes. While it’s engineered for the Kaloud Lotus range, the Kore Qì works with most third-party heat management devices that share standard bowl-top dimensions.
