Khalil Mamoon Mini Beast – Safari Nickel, Compact Lounge Draw

Khalil Mamoon Mini Beast — 52 cm Safari Nickel finish, wide-bore airway for effortless lounge clouds

What this is, why it helps, how it works, why get one

We’re looking at KM’s compact Egyptian hookah in the Safari Nickel finish — a cool, polished nickel look on the classic Mini Beast frame. At 52 cm, it parks neatly on a side table yet draws like a full-size rig thanks to a wide-gauge down-stem and KM’s single-ball purge that clears in one breath. The thick mini glass base keeps water stable so smoke stays cool and consistent. If you want unmistakable KM feel without the footprint, Safari Nickel hits the sweet spot with a modern, stainless-friendly aesthetic.

What sets it apart

• Wide-bore Egyptian draw delivers light resistance and fast cloud build.
• One-breath purge via KM’s classic single-ball valve for crisp resets between pulls.
• Weighted mini base (typically ~650–800 ml water) smooths temperature swings for cooler smoke.
• Safari Nickel finish on a stainless core with plated brass detailing — bright, contemporary, easy to pair.
• Compact 52 cm height gives lounge performance without hogging space.

Fit & compatibility

• Bowls: Ships with a traditional Egyptian clay bowl (foil use). Most HMDs won’t seat on this bowl.
• HMD use: For Kaloud-style devices, pair with a compatible phunnel (≈ 74–78 mm rim) — see Phunnel Bowls.
• Hose port: Standard KM male (~11 mm). Traditional KM hose included; silicone options fit with the supplied grommet — see Silicone Hoses.
• Bases: Fits standard KM “mini” and most classic KM bell bases.

How to dial it in

• Water level: 15–18 mm above the down-stem bell for an open, quiet draw.
• Foil packs (included bowl): Tight foil + two 26 mm cubes; add a third after 5–7 minutes if needed.
• Phunnel + HMD: Start with two cubes for blonde leaf; 2–3 for darker leaf depending on cut and density.
• Purge: A steady breath clears the chamber; half-purge to refresh flavour mid-session.

Craft & performance

Built around a stainless-steel core with electro-plated brass accents, the Mini Beast Safari Nickel keeps flavour front and centre with minimal resistance and a clean purge. The weighted base steadies the heat curve for longer rounds, and the cool-tone plating wipes clean easily after each session.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse stem and base warm with mild dish soap; use a soft nylon brush on the down-stem.
• Avoid abrasives and strong alkalis on the plated exterior; dry thoroughly to preserve the finish.
• The included traditional KM hose is non-washable — opt for silicone if you rinse between flavours.

Quick fixes

• Harsh start: Lift HMD lid 10–15 s or edge coals; for foil, ease the pack.
• Thin clouds: Fully light coals; add a third cube after 5 minutes; check seals and water line.
• Restrictive draw: Lower water 5–8 mm; ensure the hose grommet isn’t over-compressed.

FAQ

• Does the stock bowl work with a Kaloud-style HMD? No — use an HMD with a compatible phunnel bowl.
• Is the interior stainless? Yes — core stem and down-stem are stainless; Safari Nickel is the exterior plating.
• Can I choose a specific vase colour? Vase tones vary by shipment — contact us before checkout and we’ll do our best.
• Is the stock hose washable? Traditional KM hoses are not; select silicone if you rinse between flavours.
