Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris: the iconic HMD in black
Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris is the satin black edition of the famous Lotus I+ ® heat system, created for shisha smokers who want their setup to look as good as it performs.
It keeps everything that made the original Lotus I+ ® a must-have – reliable heat control, ease of use, consistency – and adds a refined black finish that blends perfectly with modern shisha setups, whether at home or in a premium shisha or hookah lounge.
Visually, the “Black Niris” finish gives the bowl a more premium, understated look, while drawing attention to the coals and the packing.
A heat management system built for 3 cubes
Just like the classic version, the Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris is designed to hold up to 3 standard coconut charcoal cubes.
This capacity provides strong but controlled heat, ideal for producing dense clouds and rich flavor without burning the shisha tobacco.
For long sessions or blends that demand more heat, this HMD offers a comfortable power reserve while remaining very straightforward to manage.
Controlled heat, fewer ashes
The main job of the Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris is to stabilize the heat from natural cube charcoal and smooth out temperature swings.
By partially enclosing the coals and using carefully placed air inlets, the system regulates combustion and significantly reduces ash build-up, keeping the bowl cleaner and making each draw smoother and more pleasant.
The result is fewer shishas that are too harsh or poorly prepared, and a level of consistency that gives confidence to both newcomers and seasoned smokers.
Integrated grooves for coals that keep burning
Like the Lotus I+ ®, the Black Niris version features machined grooves in the base that slightly raise the coals.
This small air gap under the cubes improves circulation, lets the embers “breathe” and means they are far less likely to go out from underneath.
The charcoal lasts longer, relighting is less frequent and the temperature stays more stable from the first puff to the last.
A premium black finish built to last
The Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris is presented as a patented work of art, made from high quality materials using precision processes usually reserved for aerospace and medical industries.
Its black finish is not just a layer of paint; it is a specific treatment designed to withstand high temperatures and time, while remaining safe in use.
In the hand, it feels solid and serious, clearly built to handle back‑to‑back shisha sessions without warping or losing efficiency.
Shisha preparation made easier
One of the reasons Lotus is so popular is how much it simplifies setup: the KALOUD LOTUS I+ ® Black Niris takes care of most of the heat management for you.
Once the bowl is properly packed, simply place the coconut charcoal cubes inside the HMD, adjust the lid to the desired intensity and let the system manage the heat.
That means less stress, fewer failed shishas, and a much more consistent quality of session, whether you are enjoying a bowl alone or serving guests in a lounge.
Essential safety advice
To protect your Kaloud Lotus I+ ® Black Niris and keep the warranty valid, there is one non‑negotiable rule:
NEVER PREHEAT YOUR KALOUD LOTUS® directly on a burner or open flame.
Natural coals must be lit separately and then placed in the system. The Black Niris Lotus will then distribute the heat correctly, without any need for preheating.
