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

Kong Turkish Boy bowl — 14–18 g clay bed for clear, flavour-forward sessions

What it is, why this helps, how it works, why get one: This is Kong’s classic Turkish-style clay bowl, kiln-fired at high temperature to lock out odours and keep flavours clean. Its medium-thick clay bed holds around 14–18 g, so heat spreads evenly and ramps up quickly. Run it with foil or a heat-management device (Kaloud/Provost) — either way you get steady heat, smooth draw, and true flavour without the gummy aftertaste you’ll often notice from silicone.

What sets it apart

• Flavour stays true because the ceramic is kiln-fired at over ~1200 °C and won’t absorb ghosting flavours.
• Steadier heat from a medium-thick clay bed tuned for a 14–18 g pack — balanced clouds without harsh spikes.
• Quick start-up: with fully lit coals it reaches balance in about 1 minute, great for short set-ups.
• Versatile set-up — runs foil or HMD and fits both Kaloud-style and Provost-style heat managers.
• Works with blonde or dark-leaf packs; 8.5 cm height and 8 cm rim give stable foil tension and easy handling.

Fit & compatibility

• HMD fit: Kaloud-style & Provost-style (drop-on or over-foil).
• Coal size/count: use 2–3 × standard cubes (26 mm) or quality flats; adjust to blend and room temp.
• Shisha types: optimised for both blonde and dark-leaf mixes.

How to dial it in

• Foil: pack level with the rim, foil tight, start with 2 cubes at the edge; add a 3rd after 5–7 min if needed.
• HMD: normal density pack, leave a light gap to the screen; crack the lid for brief heat bumps.
• Heat management: rotate coals every 6–8 min; purge slowly to clear without over-cooling.

Craft & performance

• Airway response: smooth, low-resistance draw typical of Turkish bowls.
• Heat curve: medium-high retention keeps flavour stable through longer pulls.
• Finish: hand-decorated ceramic; each piece is unique.

Care & upkeep

• Let the bowl cool before rinsing; avoid thermal shock.
• Rinse with warm water; soft brush only — no harsh abrasives.
• Dry fully before storage; avoid drops/impacts on hard surfaces.
