Filter pods and adapters

Most of these filters are part of Kaloud's Ayara system: small activated carbon pods that sit in the smoke path of your hookah. To use them you need two things, an adapter that holds the pod and a supply of replacement pods in the matching size.

Adapters

An Ayara adapter is a downstem adapter and diffuser that lets the pods fit any standard wide-stemmed hookah. It is made of ceramic, aluminium and silicone, and comes in a Small and a Large size, in finishes such as silver, gold and black. Pick the size first, because the pods only fit the adapter they are made for.

Replacement pods

• Pods come in packs, for example the Ayara Carbon Filter Replacement Pods Large Pack of 4 or the Small Pack of 3.
• Each pod is rated for a number of sessions, given on the listing. The replacement packs are rated for 30 to 60 sessions per pod.
• Large pods also fit Kaloud Krysalis filters that use the Ayara size Large adapter.

Filters for other devices

Some filters are spares for a specific device rather than for the hookah itself. The CoalCatcher Hepa Filter Set, for example, is made for the CoalCatcher and swaps in without tools.

Questions

Will Ayara pods fit any hookah?

Not on their own. They need an Ayara adapter, which fits standard wide-stemmed hookahs, or a Kaloud Krysalis filter that takes Ayara pods.

Small or Large: which pods do I need?

Match the pod to your adapter. Small pods fit Ayara Small adapters and Large pods fit Ayara Large adapters.

How long does one pod last?

Kaloud rate the replacement pods for 30 to 60 sessions each. Swap the pod when you reach the end of that range.
