Silicone Grip for Shisha and Hookah HMD - Heat Resistant Handle for Kaloud and Hot Screen

Safe handling of hot shisha components

Anyone who regularly uses a hookah knows how hot an HMD or Hot Screen can get. A Kaloud Lotus, CoalBox, or another heat management device reaches temperatures of over 300 degrees Celsius. You wouldn't touch something like that with your bare hand. The silicone grip for shisha and hookah solves that problem. You simply pick up the device, lift the lid to rotate coals, or move the whole thing without your fingers feeling a thing. Small tool, big difference.

This is a private label product. Price is 1.99 euro each (MSRP 2.99 euro). Black or grey, depending on stock.

What exactly does this grip do?

The silicone grip fits on the handle or rim of an HMD, Hot Screen, or coal holder. You slide it on, and then you have a sturdy and cool handle to work with. This allows you to lift the lid of your Kaloud device to add or rotate coals, without needing tweezers or other detours. Also useful if you want to remove everything from the hookah bowl at the end of a session while it's still warm.

The material is heat-resistant silicone. This is the same material used in bakeware and high-temperature kitchen appliances. It won't melt, won't deform, and won't leave scratches on your HMD or shisha bowl. After use, simply rinse the grip with water. That's all.

Suitable for which HMDs and heat management devices?

The grip was originally developed for the CoalBox, but works well with almost all common HMDs and Hot Screens thanks to its universal sizing. Think of brands like Kaloud, Smokah, Amy Deluxe, Dschinni, Oduman, and DUM. Does the grip fit your device perfectly? For most standard HMDs and coal holders, this is the case.

It can also be used as an extra grip for hookah accessories such as coal trays or handles supplied with more expensive hookahs. The flexibility of the silicone ensures that the grip doesn't slip, even if the surface is very smooth or very hot.

Who is this useful for?

This accessory is useful for anyone who smokes shisha and uses an HMD or Hot Screen. At home, with friends, or in a shisha lounge. Beginners are just as well served by it as experienced shisha smokers. Especially if you're just starting with a Kaloud or metal chimney, it's good to learn how to handle it safely right away.

For shisha lounges or places where multiple hookahs are in use simultaneously, this is also a smart purchase. Staff can work faster and the risk of burns is much lower. At less than 2 euros per grip, multiple units in the drawer are not a major investment.

Usage and assembly

Here's how to use the silicone grip during your hookah session:

• Slide the grip over the handle or rim of your HMD or Hot Screen.
• Firmly grasp the device and lift the lid to rotate or add coals.
• Want to adjust the airflow? Briefly open the lid, rotate the coals, then close it again. Everything can be done with the grip in hand.
• At the end of the session, also use the grip to remove the entire HMD device from the shisha bowl.

Maintenance and cleaning

Silicone is one of the easiest materials to clean. The grip doesn't absorb odors and won't stain from soot or heat. After each session, you can rinse it under warm water. Optionally add a drop of dish soap if there's soot or grease. Then let it dry and store it.

Store the grip in a clean, dry place, for example, with your other hookah accessories. It will last a long time as long as you don't work it with sharp objects or damage it. Normal use with heat is not a problem; that's exactly what it's made for.

Combine with the right coals

A silicone grip works best if you also use good coals. With coconut coals that burn long and emit even heat, you'll need to adjust your HMD less often. Less movement = less chance of accidents. Check out hookah and shisha natural coals for coals that burn long and evenly.

Don't have a coal starter yet? At electric coal burner you'll find an overview of electric coal burners. These allow you to safely light your coals before placing them on the HMD. With proper lighting, good coals, and a silicone grip, you have everything you need for a safe session.

Complete your shisha setup

The grip is a small part of a larger whole. A good hookah session depends on the quality of all accessories combined. Do you have everything already? Check these components:

• Hookah bowls: the bowl determines how well the heat is distributed.
• Shisha coals: good coals are the foundation of every session.
• Hookah hoses: a clean hose provides the best drawing experience.
• Aluminum foil and pokers: essential if you work without an HMD.
• Hookah tongs: to safely move coals in addition to your grip.
