Kaloud Samsaris Kore Qì (氣) Short Shisha Bowl

Everything we love about the Kore Qì red clay, in a shorter profile built for faster warm-up and more concentrated flavour. The Short holds ~15g of shisha for focused 45–60 minute sessions, and the integrated silicone grommet fits most standard shisha pipes without any adapters. If you prefer punchy, flavour-forward sessions over marathon smokes, this is the one.

Kaloud Samsaris Kore Qì (氣) Short — Red Clay Shisha Bowl for Focused Sessions

Why This Shisha Bowl

• Responsive red clay heat profile — the porous red clay core absorbs and distributes heat faster than black clay and retains it more actively than ceramic, delivering a warm, energetic session across all tobacco types.
• Short profile for concentrated flavour — the compact design concentrates heat more tightly around the tobacco, producing richer, more immediate flavour extraction during shorter sessions.
• ~15g capacity for focused sessions — holds enough for a solid 45–60 minute session with proper heat management. Less tobacco waste, more flavour per gram.
• Integrated high-temperature silicone grommet — creates an airtight seal on most standard shisha pipe stems without a separate grommet or adapter.
• Engineered for Kaloud Lotus HMDs — designed to sit flush with the Lotus I+, I+3, II, and III. Also works with most third-party heat management devices.
• Clay that develops character over time — the porous surface naturally seasons with use, subtly deepening flavour the more you smoke.

Fit and Compatibility

The Kore Qì Short fits most standard shisha pipes thanks to its integrated silicone grommet. It’s fully compatible with every Kaloud Lotus heat management device: the Lotus I+3, the Lotus I+, the Lotus II, and the Lotus III. It also works with most third-party HMDs.

How to Use It

• Pack ~15g of shisha evenly to just below the rim, level with the top of the centre spire.
• Avoid overpacking — the Short’s compact chamber means even a small overpack restricts airflow noticeably.
• Place your Kaloud Lotus or preferred HMD directly on top of the bowl.
• Add 2–3 natural coconut charcoal cubes (25 mm recommended) inside the HMD.
• Allow 3–5 minutes for the bowl to reach temperature before your first draw.
• Adjust the HMD lid throughout the session. The red clay responds quickly to changes.

Care and Maintenance

• Allow the bowl to cool completely before handling or cleaning.
• Rinse with water only — never use soap, detergents, or abrasive materials.
• Use a soft brush to gently remove any residue if needed.
• Air dry the bowl fully before storing or reusing.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What’s the difference between the Short and Tall Kore Qì?

Both use identical red clay and share the same ~91 mm top diameter. The Short has a shallower chamber (~15g capacity) for focused 45–60 minute sessions with more concentrated flavour. The Tall is deeper and available in 15g and 30g capacities for longer sessions. Your HMD fits the same way on both.

Do I need a separate grommet for this bowl?

No. The Kore Qì Short has an integrated silicone grommet built into the housing. It fits most standard shisha pipe stems without any adapter.
