Khalil Mamoon Mini Beast Hookah – 52 cm, Wide-Bore Draw

Khalil Mamoon compact shisha — 52 cm, wide-bore airway for lounge-level clouds

In simple terms: this is a traditional Egyptian hookah, hand-built in Cairo, scaled to a tidy 52 cm so it fits anywhere yet smokes like a full-size rig. A wide-gauge down-stem gives an easy pull, the classic single-ball valve clears in one breath, and the thick glass base keeps the water steady and the smoke cool. If you want that unmistakable KM feel without hogging table space, the Mini Beast nails it.

Hand-forged from a stainless-steel core with electro-plated brass accents, each Mini Beast carries the authentic KM touch—subtle weld marks, hand engraving and one-off, hand-painted bases. It’s a dependable daily smoker for solo sessions or a couple of mates, with open airflow and effortless purge behaviour that made KM famous. Explore the full range in our Khalil Mamoon collection, pair it with a Kaloud HMD from our Kaloud range for dark-leaf rounds, or swap to a washable hose from Silicone Hoses for easy cleaning.

What sets it apart

• Wide-open draw from a generous, traditional down-stem (KM’s signature airy response).
• One-breath purge via the classic single-ball valve—fast clears between pulls.
• Stable, thick Egyptian glass base (typ. ~650–800 ml water) for cooler, consistent smoke.
• Handmade Cairo build: stainless-steel core with electro-plated brass exterior for lasting shine.
• Compact 52 cm height—lounge-level performance without the footprint.

Fit & compatibility

• Bowls: Ships with an Egyptian clay bowl; works with most ~75–78 mm phunnel bowls and common HMDs.
• Heat management: Foil or HMD (e.g., Kaloud Lotus series) on compatible phunnel bowls.
• Hose port: Standard KM male (~11 mm). Traditional KM hose included; silicone hoses slip straight in with the supplied grommet.
• Bases: Fits standard KM “mini” and most classic KM bell bases.

How to dial it in

• Water level: 15–18 mm above the down-stem bell for a balanced draw and quiet bubble.
• Foil packs: Tight foil with 3 medium cubes; start with two, add the third after 5–7 minutes.
• Phunnel + HMD: Run a Kaloud-style HMD with two cubes for blonde leaf; go 2–3 cubes for dark leaf depending on cut and density.
• Purge: Slow, steady breath fully clears the chamber; half purge to refresh flavour mid-session.

Craft & performance

Expect a light-resistance, flavour-forward draw with quick cloud ramp and crisp purge behaviour. The Mini Beast’s stainless core resists ghosting and the thick base steadies the heat curve across longer rounds. Hand-finished plating wipes clean easily after each session.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse stem and base warm with mild dish soap; use a soft nylon brush on the down-stem.
• Avoid abrasives on plating and harsh alkalis; dry thoroughly to preserve sheen.
• Traditional KM hose is non-washable—upgrade to silicone if you rinse after every smoke.

Quick fixes

• Harsh start: Lift HMD lid 10–15 seconds or edge coals; reduce pack density.
• Thin clouds: Fully light coals, add a third cube after 5 minutes; check seals and water level.
• Restrictive draw: Lower water 5–8 mm; ensure hose grommet isn’t over-compressed.
