Kaloud Lotus I+3 Auris Gold – Stainless-Base HMD

Kaloud Lotus I+3 — stainless base + Auris gold lid for steadier heat and truer flavour

What it is, why it helps, how it works, and why choose it:
This is Kaloud’s next-generation heat-management device (HMD) that replaces foil and sits on your bowl. The stainless-steel base stores and spreads heat evenly, while the aluminium wall and Auris gold lid react quickly to vent adjustments—so flavour stays clean and clouds stay consistent. Fully light your coconut coals, place up to four 26 mm cubes inside, then fine-tune the twist-vent lid to hold the sweet spot. Choose Lotus I+3 if you want longer, steadier sessions with less ash and fewer off-notes on most bowls with an inner rim near ~75 mm.

What sets it apart

• Smoother pulls and cleaner flavour because the stainless base retains heat and the aluminium lid responds quickly to vent tweaks.
• Longer sessions with fewer swaps from the 4 × 26 mm charcoal capacity and stable heat curve.
• Less ultra-fine ash in your bowl with raised coal ridges that keep cubes breathing instead of smothering.
• Dial-in control on the fly via the twist-vent lid—close down for bright blonde-leaf mixes; open up for dense dark-leaf.
• Built to last with a high-grade stainless base plus aluminium wall & lid finished in Auris gold.

Fit & compatibility

Fits most HMD-ready bowls with an inner rim near ~75 mm, including Kaloud Samsaris and a wide range of phunnel bowls. Use natural 26 mm coconut charcoal only—pair with consistent cubes like Shaman 26 mm.

How to dial it in

• Fully light 3–4 × 26 mm cubes until evenly ashed.
• Start with vents half-open; adjust every few minutes to keep flavour clean and heat steady.
• Don’t preheat the HMD—manage heat with coal count and vent position.

Craft & performance

• Heat curve: stainless base smooths spikes; aluminium lid makes response snappy when you rotate or crack the vents.
• Airway response: steadier heat means fewer harsh spots and more time in the flavour “sweet window”.
• Ash behaviour: raised ridges lift cubes to reduce ultra-fine fall-through.

Care & upkeep

• Let it cool naturally before rinsing; never quench hot metal.
• Hand-wash with mild dish soap; avoid abrasives on the Auris finish.
• Do not preheat empty; longevity is best when heat comes from coals, not direct flames.
