ALPACA PREDATOR Bowl
Precision Performance for Experienced Smokers
The Alpaca Predator isn’t your entry-level bowl, it’s a purpose-built tool designed for those who understand the nuances of airflow dynamics, heat management, and efficient tobacco usage.
At its core is a bridged phunnel spire, engineered specifically to eliminate foil drag, a common issue when using heavier charcoal setups. The raised bridge supports the foil, preventing it from collapsing under heat or coal weight, while maintaining an open air channel for optimal airflow. The result? Unrestricted pulls, minimal turbulence, and a noticeably cleaner draw.
The shallow inner basin reduces tobacco load without compromising on session quality. It holds approximately 10–15g, making it highly efficient for solo sessions or frequent rotation. Ideal for dark leaf, or blonde. the Predator performs exceptionally well with brands like Tangiers, Trifecta, or Musthave.
With medium heat retention, it reaches optimal temp in about 2 minute, offering quick ramp-up and consistent thermal regulation throughout the session. It’s not HMD-compatible (Kaloud or Provost), by design—this bowl shines with traditional foil setups and works best with cubes or flat-style coals.
Each bowl is handmade, so slight variations in glaze and dimensions are expected. This is a functional artisan piece, not a mass-produced copy.
