Kaloud Samsaris Hybrid Bowl (Aluminum + Silicone)

I recently ordered the Kaloud Samsaris Aluminum (Gold) along with the Black Lotus HMD. First impressions are everything when it comes to trying something new. Everyone will have their own opinion on every piece of equipment they buy for their hookah, so it's best to get one for yourself and form your own opinion.

I'm relatively new to making my own hookah's but have been an avid hookah lounge smoker for a few years now. I decided to take the plunge and buy this bowl and HMD and it definitely does not disappoint. I was sure to do a control the day before with the same flavor, coals, and using foil to have a baseline. That setup lasted approximately 45 minutes. The coconut squares are really hot and have a tendency to burn the shisha when you place them on the foil which can affect the flavor.

Using the HMD and this Samsaris bowl, the smoke and flavor and overall quality of the session was far superior. I allowed the HMD to heat up for about 15 minutes before I smoked in order to get the shisha started and allow the HMD to have an even heat distribution. It lasted approximately 1 hr 40 minute with flavor fall-off around the 1 hr 15 minute mark.

If you are looking to step up your game, I highly recommend purchasing this bowl along with the Lotus HMD. The pictures don't do it justice for seeing it in person. The quality is premium and gives a high-end impression. 10/10 would recommend the purchase.
