The Diablo breaks the mould — literally. A short, stacked ceramic phunnel with ribbed exterior bands and a glossy-on-matte two-tone finish in four colourways (Rust, Abyss, Desert, Ghost). Packs tight, sits low, reads bold. Our heaviest Essentials bowl at 276 grams.

Diablo Phunnel Bowl — Short Stacked Ceramic, Four Tonal Glazes

Why This Bowl Works

• It doesn't look like any other bowl in the lineup. Short, squat, ribbed exterior — it sits low on a stem and looks genuinely different from a rack full of tall phunnels.
• The two-tone material finish is the hook — glossy coloured interior (the bit customers see when the foil comes off) paired with raw matte ceramic bands on the outside. Looks expensive, costs normal.
• Four tonal colourways: Rust pairs terracotta with matte black, Abyss is deep blue-teal with dark raw clay, Desert is mustard with dark exterior, and Ghost runs matte white with dark clay bands.
• 276 grams — the heaviest bowl in our Essentials range. Proper heat mass, proper session stability.
• Don't let the short form fool you — the interior well is deep enough for a full 20g pack with room above it for heat management.
• Wide flat rim is fully Lotus-compatible and takes foil cleanly.

Fit & Compatibility

Standard grommet fit at the base. Rim accepts any universal HMD (Kaloud Lotus, Provost, DreamsHeats) or foil setups. Sits lower on a stem than a typical phunnel — a design choice that visually balances tall bases.

How to Pack & Light It

The well's deeper than you'd guess from outside — pack 20g loose around the spire, don't compress. Foil on with pinpricks or drop your HMD. Two to three lit coconut coals, three to five minutes of heat-up, slow draw from there. The weight of the ceramic rewards patience.

Care & Maintenance

• Let the bowl cool completely before handling or cleaning.
• Soak in warm water to loosen residue, then scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
• Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals — they can dull the glaze over time.
• Rinse thoroughly and air-dry before storage to prevent flavour carryover.
• Ceramic is durable but will chip if knocked against hard surfaces — handle with care.

FAQ

Will the matte exterior stain?

The raw ceramic can develop a natural patina with heavy use — this is aesthetic and doesn't affect performance. Wipe it down occasionally and avoid abrasive cleaning.

How does the Diablo pack compare to a tall phunnel?

Same capacity (~20g), different silhouette. The short form makes heat management feel more contained — coals sit closer to the bowl body, which some session runners prefer for consistency.

Which colourway is the cleanest-looking?

Ghost (matte white with dark clay) is the most minimalist. Abyss (blue-teal) is our darkest. Desert (mustard) is the most earthy. Rust (terracotta) is the warmest. All four are strong aesthetic picks.

Is the Diablo compatible with electronic HMDs like the XKAH Pro?

Yes — the wide flat rim accommodates most electronic HMDs designed for universal compatibility.
