BSTD × TPW Chubby Clay Bowl – <15 g Load, Daily-Flavour Build

BSTD × TPW clay bowl — 300–400 g stoneware, <15 g load for richer flavour

This is a hand-thrown clay bowl for your shisha. It uses heavy stoneware (300–400 g) to hold and release heat evenly, so flavours taste fuller without burning. Because the tobacco cavity is under 15 g, you use less mix and still get strong clouds, with tighter control and less waste. If you run foil, choose the Tall. If you prefer an HMD, choose the Short. That’s it—easy, reliable sessions.

Meet our Limited Edition Chubby: a double-stamped collab with Greek bowl-maker BSTD—now in Australia. Each stoneware piece loads under 15 g, delivering juicier clouds, steadier heat and far less wastage. High-temp glazes are kiln-fired (~1 200 °C) to resist ghosting and hairline cracks, for a bowl built for daily use. Explore the BSTD collection, pair it with a Kaloud Lotus HMD, and—if you’re choosing your first bowl—see our quick guide to picking the right shape for your flavours here.

What sets it apart

• Heat mass that matters — 300–400 g stoneware walls soak and release heat evenly for smoother pulls and stable sessions.
• Efficient flavour extraction — a shallow, sub-15 g cavity pulls full flavour from less mix, cutting waste and running costs.
• Glaze built to last — BSTD’s high-temp finishes, kiln-fired to ~1 200 °C, resist micro-cracks and ghosting over time.
• Two shapes, two personalities — Tall (deep/narrow) loves foil control; Short (wide/shallow) pairs cleanly with most HMDs.
• Craft pedigree — wheel-thrown by Greek artisan Terry Antoniades; each bowl is uniquely glazed and weight-balanced.

Fit & compatibility

• Short (HMD): seats common HMDs (e.g., Kaloud Lotus, Onmo) on ~73 mm rims; use 2–3 × 26 mm cubes.
• Tall (foil): best with heavy-duty foil (~40 µm); start with 2 × 26 mm cubes, add a brief 3rd only if needed.

How to dial it in

• Tall + Foil: fluff-to-semi-dense pack, tight foil; start 2 × 26 mm, add 3rd after 5–7 min if flavour is flat; rotate 6–8 min.
• Short + HMD: semi-dense for dark-leaf or tidy fluff for blonde; 2–3 × 26 mm cubes depending on brand and room temp.
• Flavour range: tuned for blonde leaf clarity, handles dark blends—adjust pack depth and heat accordingly.

Craft & performance

• Single-piece pull in high-heat stoneware, then kiln-fired to lock glaze to clay.
• Sub-15 g cavity gives fast ramp-up and responsive heat tuning with fewer coals.
• Weighty build adds thermal inertia for smooth, consistent draws from first pull to last.

Care & upkeep

• Let the bowl cool fully before rinsing to avoid thermal shock.
• Clean with warm water and a soft brush; no detergent needed.
• Air-dry 100 % before storing to prevent moisture cracks.

FAQ

• Will the glaze crack? Unlikely. High-temp firing locks glaze to clay, resisting hairline fractures.
• Is every bowl identical? No—each is wheel-thrown and hand-glazed, so expect subtle colour/shape variation.
• Can I run three 27 mm cubes? On the Short with an HMD, yes (monitor heat). For the Tall with foil, we recommend two 26 mm cubes; add a 3rd briefly only if needed.
