Kong Turkish Boy — handcrafted ceramic bowl tuned for Kaloud Lotus and Provost setups

Why our team likes the Turkish Boy

• Built specifically with HMDs in mind — the rim is sized so the Kaloud Lotus and Provost sit cleanly with no wobble.
• 14–18 g capacity — handles long solo sessions and light group sharing.
• Ceramic construction — clean, uncontaminated flavour and even heat distribution.
• Wall thickness tuned for thermal consistency — no hot spots, no burnt patches.
• Standard grommet fit — drops onto virtually any hookah stem.
• Kong build quality — known across the Russian premium scene for innovative bowl designs.

How to use it

• Seat with a standard grommet on your stem.
• Pack 14–18 g — fluff for blondes, semi-dense for darks.
• Drop your Kaloud or Provost onto the rim, or cover with foil if you prefer.
• Add fully-lit coals and manage heat across the session.

Care & cleaning

• Cool fully before cleaning.
• Soak and scrub gently with warm water.
• Dry thoroughly before storing.
• Handle carefully — like all ceramic bowls, the rim can chip on hard impacts.

Common questions

Is this the right size for my Kaloud Lotus?

Yes — Kong specifically sized this bowl for the Kaloud Lotus and AOT Provost. If you want absolute peace of mind, bring your Lotus into our Melbourne store and we'll match it on the counter.

How does ceramic compare to clay?

Ceramic delivers slightly cleaner flavour and faster cleaning between blends. Clay tends to hold heat marginally longer. Our team is happy to walk you through the trade-offs in person.
