The first 3D-printed heat management device made of stainless steel, unlocking potential no machined or cast aluminum can match.

Thanks to its even distribution of heat, EX NIHILO not only offers long-lasting sessions with smooth, big clouds, but its intricate internal design, full of symbolism, can save your session from scorching and ash deposits in the tobacco.

EX NIHILO HMD features a thoughtfully designed heat path from the coals, not blasting heat directly into the tobacco, but instead evenly heating the bowl and itself, bringing out the subtle, enhanced flavours of your mix.

Weighing around 300 grams, EX NIHILO walks a fine line between heat retention and responsiveness to your input. Given the weight, it retains heat very well, but also offers lightning-fast reaction to your coal management, making frequent fidgeting a thing of the past, yet still allowing you to set it exactly as desired.

EX NIHILO is hand-finished in the Czech Republic with beautifully polished surfaces and various finishes to give a unique look to every piece.

EX NIHILO features a raised, polished platform on the bottom to facilitate flavour-enhancing touch-style packing techniques. Whether you are experienced or just starting, EX NIHILO will not let you down. It is made robust and elegant to outlive every other piece of gear you own.

Key dimensions:

• Fits the vast majority of bowls with a minimum of 65 mm (2.56 inches) outer rim diameter.

• Fits two coals, 26 mm (standard) or 27 mm (larger), inside.

• Comfortably holds four coals in a “mickey mouse” configuration.

Strongest flavour and strength: fluff/semi-dense with touch.

You can influence the strength/session length ratio with heat: usually, more heat = more flavour, but a shorter session.
