Absolutely. The UPG Mini is easy to handle and forgives small errors in heat management. The compact depot means you need less tobacco, which also makes it attractive in terms of price.
After the session, let the bowl cool down and remove the tobacco. If there are stubborn residues, you can briefly soak the head in warm water. Avoid dish soap as clay can absorb it.
Since each UPG is handmade, minimal differences in color, shape and logo thickness are completely normal. This is not a defect, but a quality feature of genuine handcraft.
