How to use the Alpaca Roo Bowl
When using the Rook Hookah Bowl, it is important to pack your bowl using the correct density required by your tobacco or flavor type. Always keep your flavor packed below the rim to avoid it touching your foil or heat management device. The Rook bowl is specifically suggested to use with blonde, medium and dark leaf tobacco’s. To achieve the best results, we recommend pairing the Alpaca Rook Bowl with a heat management device such as the Kaloud Lotus I+.
It is also suitable to use foil with an AOT Provost. To ensure optimal airflow when using foil, it is important to poke as necessary, with two rows of holes recommended along the area over the tobacco. The amount of charcoal depends on the size of coal you plan to use. A lot of factors contribute to what’s best, such as the kind of flavor being used, the type of heat management device and so on.
