Borosilicate glass forms the chamber because glass is chemically inert and absorbs nothing. Food grade silicone forms the lip because that is what the Lotus grips. The device seats rather than balances, and it stays seated when you turn the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClay absorbs. Every clay bowl eventually carries a trace of everything ever smoked in it, and scrubbing does not bring it back. Glass takes on nothing, so a mint bowl and a dessert bowl taste like themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorosilicate rather than ordinary glass, because its low thermal expansion lets it sit under a hot device without stressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also see through it. Watch the pack, see how the juices run, and notice the bowl drying out before the flavour tells you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pairing matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bowl is dimensioned around the Lotus I+. The device seats flush with no gap and no sleeve required. Running a Lotus on a bowl built for another generation leaves a gap, and a gap is heat going anywhere except into your tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePacking it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluff pack, not dense. Break the shisha apart with your fingers, drop it in loosely to just under the lip, then level it without pressing. Leave a few millimetres of clearance, because shisha expands as it heats and tobacco touching the device scorches fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool it fully, then wash in warm water. Glass releases residue immediately. Never run cold water into a hot bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGlass, ceramic, or high heat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitria glass.\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbs nothing, and you can see the pack.
