What is calaud?
The Calaud is a device that regulates the thermal effect of coals on tobacco. It is usually made of duralumin. It is important to note that the calaud heats not the tobacco itself, but the block, and the coals directly heat this structure, which, in turn, heats the air. This contributes to the formation of an air layer between the calaud and tobacco, ensuring its uniform heating.Kalaud Lotus from the USA is considered a pioneer. With the advent of many similar high-quality devices, its popularity continues to grow. It is important to note that the calaud should not transfer a metallic shade to tobacco, otherwise it may indicate a low quality of the product.
How to use kalaud correctly when lighting a hookah?
The calaud cover is often equipped with an adjustable valve. Even in the open position, it restricts the air supply to the coals. Small holes in the lid direct the air flow, accelerating the heating of the coals. This ensures faster heating of the calaud and, consequently, the air layer.
The bottom of the calaud is thick enough to provide effective heating, but at the same time prevents tobacco burning. Gorenje After installing the calaud on the bowl, it is necessary to let the coals warm up and create an air layer over the tobacco, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. The heating time of the calaud usually depends on the thermal stability of a particular type of tobacco.
The presence of a calaud does not negate the need to use a hood. To warm up properly, you should first install the calaud on a bowl without a lid, and then cover it with a hood. After a sufficient time of warming up the tobacco, remove the cap and carefully close the lid of the calaud.
How to use kalaud for hookah?
To work properly with the calaud, it is necessary to pay attention to the diameter of the bowl, which must correspond to the size of the calaud itself and not exceed 7-7.5 cm. It is important to place the calaud on the edge of the bowl to avoid its immersion in case of using too large a bowl. It is also important that the diameter of the bowl is not less than the diameter of the bulges at the bottom of the calaud.
To achieve optimal heating, it is recommended to use 3 coals with a diameter of 25 mm or 4 coals with a diameter of 22 mm. It is not necessary to use self-igniting coal, as it does not provide the necessary temperature.
The Calaud should be installed directly on the bowl with tobacco, which allows you to avoid using foil. Slots in the side faces facilitate the removal of hot air from the coals and its downward direction.
The principle of operation of all kalaudas is based on a similar mechanism. The heat from the coals is adjusted using the upper sliding cover. For the initial heating of calaud and tobacco, it is recommended to close the lid petals. After sufficient heating of the bowl, they can be opened. In case of excessive heat, the lid can be removed and smoking can continue without it. If there is a lack of temperature, especially towards the end of smoking, you can close the lid and cover the petals. Also, do not forget to periodically remove the lid and clean the charcoal saucer from the ashes.
After 10-15 minutes of using the calaud, the rubber handle can warm up. It is recommended to remove the lid and the calaud itself using special hookah tongs.
Can calaud come into contact with tobacco?
The initial method of using calaud implies the presence of a small gap between the bottom wall and the tobacco. This ensures the presence of an air space, which is first heated by the calaud, and then transfers the heat to the tobacco.
However, there are smoking methods in which the calaud comes into contact with tobacco. The "tapping" technique assumes that the top layer of tobacco lightly touches the bottom wall of the shoe. With proper heat control, this method can open up new aspects of smoking strong tobacco. But if you are a beginner and are just starting to use calaud, it is better to leave a short distance to avoid burning tobacco at the bottom of the shoe.
Advantages over foil
Many people note that calaud increases the duration of smoking. In addition, the use of calaud reduces the amount of harmful substances that enter the smoke from coals during smoking.
Tips for using calaud
Speaking about the various ways of using kalaud, it is worth noting that not only coals can be heated, but also the kalaud itself. The original models are made of an alloy capable of withstanding high temperatures, otherwise the fake may simply melt.
Placing heated coals in a preheated block speeds up the process of heating tobacco three times compared to hot coals and a cold block. However, with this use, it is recommended to remove 1-2 coals from the calaud after 10 minutes of smoking to avoid bitterness in the taste.
