Description
The Kaloud Lotus I+ Azuris is an aluminum heat management device that sits on top of your hookah bowl and controls how much heat reaches the shisha. It replaces foil. Load two large coconut coals inside, set the lid, and the Lotus regulates the burn for you.
Azuris is the blue one. A saturated cobalt that shifts toward steel under warm light, and the finish that stands out most against clear glass.
This is the original Lotus, the device that created the category in 2014. The Azuris finish changes nothing about how it performs.
Three heat settings
- Lid off. Lowest heat. While the bowl comes up, or to pull back a bowl that has gone hot.
- Lid on, vents open. Medium. Where most of the session lives.
- Lid on, vents closed. Maximum. Dense-cut tobacco, larger bowls, the back half of a long session.
You change setting by rotating the lid. No lifting coals, no tongs.
Why heat management works
Shisha does not burn, it vaporizes. Glycerin and flavor compounds release cleanly between roughly 130°C and 220°C (266°F to 428°F). Push past that and the tobacco enters pyrolysis, which is where harshness, scorched notes and the burnt-throat finish come from.
Foil gives you no control over that window. Coals sit directly against it, heat spikes, and the sweet spot lasts a few minutes. The Lotus I+ holds coals off the shisha and moves heat by convection and radiation instead of direct contact.

About the finish
The colored Lotus finishes are not anodized and not powder-coated. Kaloud uses its own non-toxic coloring process, which is why the color sits in the metal rather than on top of it. Keep abrasive pads and harsh solvents away from it and it will not wear off.
All finishes are the same device with the same geometry and the same performance.
What it fits
Standard phunnel and Egyptian-style bowls around 7 cm across. It pairs natively with the Samsaris High-Heat bowls for Lotus I and I+ and the Samsaris Lapis ceramic.
Care and handling
Never preheat your Lotus I+. Bring the coals up separately on a burner, then transfer them in. Preheating the device damages it and voids the warranty.
Let it cool fully before cleaning. Wipe the interior with a dry cloth or a soft brush.
Frequently asked questions
Do I still need foil?
No. The Lotus I+ replaces foil entirely.
How many coals does it take?
Two large coconut cubes with the lid on. Three smaller cubes also work.
Can I preheat it?
No. Heat coals separately and transfer them. Direct flame damages the aluminum and voids the warranty.
How long does a session last?
Roughly 60 minutes with two coals, depending on cut, pack density and airflow.
Does the Azuris finish affect performance?
No. Same aluminum device, same geometry. Only the color differs.
Will the color wear off?
Not with normal use. It is applied with a proprietary non-toxic process, not paint. Avoid abrasives.
What is the difference from the Lotus III?
The Lotus III adds rotating handles on the lid and base.
