Cosmo A-Shot – 8–12 g Turkish Red-Clay Bowl

Cosmo A-Shot — Turkish red-clay shot bowl, 8–12 g load for fast, flavour-first sessions

What it is, why it helps, how it works, why choose it: A compact, traditional Turkish shisha bowl for short, punchy sessions. The small 8–12 g load cuts waste while keeping flavour concentrated. Dense red clay soaks up heat from your coals and releases it evenly, so pulls stay smooth instead of spiky. Run it with heavy foil or a Provost-style HMD and two to three 25–26 mm cubes; the five-hole floor keeps the draw open and the smoke consistent. If you want quick heat-up, clean taste and efficient solo runs, this is the bowl.

What sets it apart

• Flavour on a lean pack — tuned for 8–12 g, perfect for testing blends or everyday solo bowls without wasting tobacco.
• Open, effortless pull — 5-hole Turkish floor delivers dense, silky clouds without harsh spikes.
• Fast to temp, easy to manage — compact clay bed stabilises heat with 2–3 × 25–26 mm cubes.
• Hand-thrown red clay — consistent fit and heat behaviour across bowls.

Fit & compatibility

• Works with heavy foil or a Provost-style HMD.
• Coal size: 25–26 mm coconut cubes (start with 2; add a 3rd if the blend demands).
• Fits any standard hookah using a typical bowl grommet.

How to dial it in

• Pack: sprinkle to the rim and level — don’t tamp. Leave a paper-thin gap to foil.
• Heat: start 2 × 26 mm cubes edge-to-edge; add a 3rd after 5–7 minutes if clouds feel thin.
• Management: rotate coals every 6–8 minutes; quick purge mid-session to refresh flavour.

Craft & performance

Red clay provides a stable heat bed and a lively airway response. The bowl ramps quickly, hits a clear flavour window, and stays there with light coal moves. Clouds are dense and smooth rather than hot and dry.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse with warm water after each use; avoid detergents.
• Allow to cool before washing; air-dry fully between sessions.
• Avoid thermal shock (no cold water on a hot bowl).
