Cosmo Bowl Turkish – Terracote

The Cosmo Bowl Turkish Terracot is the smallest Turkish multi-hole head in the Cosmo Bowl range - and with 7,90 € also the cheapest. She composes 8 to 9 grams Tobacco, measures 6.5cm in der Höhe und wiegt 170 grams. This means it is deliberately lower than the classic Cosmo models, which swallow significantly more tobacco at 14 to 20 grams.

There is a concrete reason for the low price: this head is minimalist. No glaze bath, no ribs, no embossed patterns, no metal badge - just raw, unglazed clay and an embossed Cosmo Bowl logo on the neck. Fewer work steps in the factory and less material used thanks to the compact design – we pass on these savings directly.

Dimensions, depot and quantity of tobacco

The depot has an outside diameter of 7cm bei einer Tiefe von 1.3cm. This flat, wide bowl is typical of the Turkish design: the tobacco is spread out instead of deeply stacked, which means that the heat from above passes through the material more evenly.

In practice this means a filling quantity of 8 to 9 grams – enough for a full session for two without leaving half-smoked tobacco in your head at the end. If you smoke alone or just go for a quick round, you will use noticeably less tobacco with this bowl than with a 20 gram model.

Raw clay instead of glaze

The Terracote is complete unglazed. The surface remains matt and slightly rough, the natural terracotta tint of the fired clay is the entire design. Clay stores heat very well and is considered a reference material among head materials in terms of taste.

The model name reflects exactly that: Terracote ist die Schreibweise des Herstellers für Terracotta respectively terracotta – the fired, unglazed clay from which the head is made. Whether you are looking for the head in terracote, terracotta or terracotta: this model is always meant.

Two characteristics are part of raw clay and are not a defect: the surface darkens over time, because it absorbs molasses and heat - used tape heads look different than new ones. And the color tone can vary slightly from brand to brand because clay is a natural material.

Compatible with HMD, Smokebox and aluminum foil

With a 7 cm depot outer diameter, the Terracote takes common ones Heat Management Devices and smokeboxes - like this one ONMO HMD Stainless Steel Flat. An HMD helps keep the heat consistent throughout the session; However, it does not replace clean coal management.

Classic aluminum foil works the same way. The head sits over the usual nozzle on standard shisha head adapters - just like any other Cosmo Bowl model. A head gasket made of silicone or rubber is not included in the scope of delivery and must be selected to match the smoke column.

Terracote compared to the other Cosmo heads

• Terracote – 8-9g, 6.5cm, 170g, unglazed, €7.90. The smallest and cheapest Turkish.
• Cosmo Bowl A-SHOT Turkish – 6-10g. Similar size class, dark clay instead of terracotta.
• Cosmo Bowl Turkish Classic – 14-20g. The standard size for longer rounds.
• Cosmo Bowl Turkish Germany Edition – 14-20g, metal badge, limited edition.

It is outside the Cosmo range Darkside D-Micro multi-hole head in the same compact class, but costs more than three times as much at €25.90.

More holes instead of phunnels – what that means

The Terracote is a Multi-hole head: five teardrop-shaped holes in a circle plus a round central hole, i.e. a 6-hole star design. Unlike a phunnel, a multi-hole head does not retain the molasses in the depot - glycerin and juice run down.

This is a deliberate characteristic, not a disadvantage: the hit is more open, but the session is usually shorter than with a phunnel with the same capacity. If you prefer to smoke on one filling for a very long time, choose one Phunnel.

Who is the Terracote made for?

For everyone who is looking for a second or third bowl to change without spending a lot - and for everyone who smokes smaller amounts of tobacco. The compact cut also makes it a practical travel and replacement head. Anyone who regularly entertains large groups is better served with the 14-20 gram models.

Care and cleaning

After the session, let it cool down, remove any tobacco residue and rinse with hot water and a brush. No dishwasher and no aggressive cleaners: raw clay is porous and absorbs cleaning agents, which later become noticeable in the taste. Allow to dry completely before next use.

A hot tape head should not be placed in cold water - the thermal shock can cause cracks.
