The Kaloud Samsaris Kore Dào (道) is part of the Kore Clay & Ceramic collection — black clay core housed in high-temperature silicone, engineered in the USA to seat flush with the Kaloud Lotus range. Our Melbourne store team recommends the black clay variants to customers who want more character from their bowl material than ceramic delivers. The Short takes the grounded black clay heat profile and compresses it into a ~15 g bowl built for focused, consistent sessions.

Kaloud Samsaris Kore Dào (道) Short — Black Clay Phunnel With Silicone Housing

Why This Bowl

• Porous black clay core — steady, neutral, and controlled. Retains heat evenly across the session with less reactivity than red clay and more retention than ceramic, producing balanced flavour throughout.
• Short profile sized for focused 45–60 minute sessions — pack to just below the rim at the centre spire and your HMD setup stays consistent across capacities.
• Integrated high-temperature silicone grommet creates an airtight seal on most standard shisha pipe stems with no separate grommet or adapter needed.
• The silicone housing also protects the clay core from knocks and keeps the bowl comfortable to handle straight off the heat.
• Short profile concentrates heat tightly around the tobacco for richer, more immediate flavour extraction on compact sessions.
• Engineered to sit flush with every Kaloud Lotus HMD — I+, I+3, II, and III — and compatible with most third-party heat management devices.
• Porous clay seasons with use over time — subtle flavour depth builds the more you smoke it.

Fit & Compatibility

Fits most standard shisha pipes straight out of the box via the integrated silicone grommet — no adapters required. Full compatibility with the Kaloud Lotus I+, I+3, II, and III. Also works with the majority of third-party HMDs. If you want to check the seat on your own stem before buying, drop into our Melbourne store with your pipe and we'll test it.

Packing & Using

• Pack ~15 g of shisha evenly to just below the rim, level with the top of the centre spire.
• Avoid overpacking — even a small overpack restricts airflow noticeably on a phunnel.
• Seat your Kaloud Lotus or preferred HMD directly on top of the bowl.
• Add lit charcoal and let the session warm up for 2–3 minutes before your first draws.

Care

• Let the bowl cool fully before cleaning — thermal shock is the main cause of bowl damage.
• Rinse the clay core under warm water. The black clay will season over time — avoid soap on the interior so the flavour depth builds.
• The silicone housing wipes clean with a damp cloth.
• Slight surface moisture on the clay after sessions is normal and part of how porous clay behaves.

Common Questions

What's the difference between the black clay and the other Kore variants?

Black clay (Dào) is the controlled, steady option — neutral balanced flavour and even heat. Red clay (Qì) is more energetic and responsive. Ceramic is the most neutral of the three. Choose based on the heat profile you prefer.

Can I see the Kore range in store?

Yes — we keep the Kaloud Kore collection on display at our Melbourne store. Our team can walk you through the differences between Qì, Dào, and the all-ceramic Kore if you're deciding between them.

Do I need a Kaloud Lotus to use it?

No — the bowl works with foil setups and most third-party HMDs too. It's engineered to pair perfectly with the Lotus range, but that's not a requirement.
