Kong Turkish Boy Black Bowl – 14–18 g Ceramic, Kaloud/Provost Fit

Kong Turkish Boy ceramic bowl — 14–18 g load, steady heat for clearer flavour

What it is, why it helps, how it works, why get one: This is Kong’s classic Turkish Boy bowl made from fired ceramic for a clean, flavour-forward session. The dense clay body spreads heat into an even bed, so your mix warms steadily instead of scorching. Pack 14–18 g, sit a heat manager or foil on top, and you’ll get reliable clouds with less fuss. If you want purer taste and predictable heat from dark or blonde blends, this is the upgrade.

What sets it apart

• Flavour stays true because the ceramic is kiln-fired at high temperature (over ~1200 °C) and won’t hold odours.
• Smoother, steadier heat from a medium-thick clay bed tuned for a 14–18 g pack.
• Ready fast — most mixes reach balance in about 1 minute with fully lit coals.
• Flexible set-up: run foil with a screen or drop on a heat manager — fits Kaloud and Provost styles.
• Works with blondes and dark-leaf; the bowl’s 8.5 cm height and 8 cm rim give stable seating and easy foil tension.

Fit & compatibility

• HMD fit: Compatible with Kaloud-style Lotus and Apple On Top Provost devices.
• Coal formats: Flat “cubettes” or 26 mm cubes (2–3 depending on HMD and pack).

How to dial it in

• Foil + Provost: Start with 2 fully lit 26 mm cubes, lid on. Vent briefly after 5–7 minutes if flavour tightens; add a 3rd cube for heavier dark-leaf.
• Kaloud-style HMD: Begin closed; open vents gradually once clouds build to keep flavour clean.
• Pack: Fluff blonde to rim level; denser dark-leaf just below the rim to avoid contact heat.

Craft & performance

• Airway response: Balanced draw for flavour-forward pulls and stable cloud ramp.
• Heat curve: Medium-high retention smooths coal spikes; less babysitting across a typical session.
• Purge behaviour: Consistent clearing with foil or HMD thanks to even heat distribution across the bed.

Care & upkeep

• Let the bowl cool before rinsing; avoid thermal shock (don’t hit hot ceramic with cold water).
• Mild detergent only; dry fully before storage. Do not use abrasives on glazed areas.
