The stainless-base evolution of the Lotus, now in Argis® – The Silver Lotus®. The Kaloud® Lotus I+3® sits on your bowl to deliver steadier heat, less ash and cleaner flavour. With a high-grade stainless steel base plus aluminium wall & lid, it comfortably manages up to four large cubes for sessions averaging ~90 minutes.
What is the Kaloud Lotus I+3 Argis exactly?
It’s Kaloud’s next-gen heat-management device (HMD): a lidded chamber that precisely regulates charcoal heat and airflow—far beyond what foil can do—on most ~75 mm bowls.
Kaloud • Stainless Base • Argis Silver Aluminium Lid
Performance Highlights
Stainless base stores and spreads heat evenly; aluminium wall & lid respond quickly to vent tweaks; raised coal ridges keep cubes breathing to minimise ultra-fine particles and off-notes. Result: smoother pulls and truer flavour from first puff to last.
Flavour Compatibility
Close the vents for bright blonde-leaf blends; open up for dense dark-leaf flavours. Stable, controlled heat curves prevent scorching and preserve nuance.
Usage Tips
Fully light up to four 26 mm coconut cubes. Start with lid vents half-open and adjust every few minutes to hold the sweet spot. Do not preheat the device—always heat coals separately.
Brand Story
Kaloud pioneered modern HMDs in 2012. Lotus I+3 advances that legacy with stainless-base thermal stability and longer, cleaner sessions—now finished in classic Argis Silver.
