Alpha Hookah Heat Management Device (HMD) – Roller, FNX & Diamond – Florida Stock

Description

Control the Heat: Alpha HMD in Roller, FNX and Diamond

A heat management device lets you control how strongly your bowl is heated, so you can get more flavor with less harshness. Alpha Hookah offers its HMD in four versions: Roller, FNX Gold, FNX Silver and Diamond Silver.

The Roller continues an automotive theme and is made from aluminum. The FNX is a one-piece stainless steel design drawn from the look of a car piston.

Why this made the cut (Speed Hookah Quality Check)

The FNX has the most detail from the manufacturer, and what it says is encouraging. It is one piece, with thick walls to heat the bowl more smoothly, and a slight indentation inside the bottom to help prevent burning.

A large number of holes provides air circulation and an even spread of heat. It also holds three 25 mm coals fully on the base, so they are less likely to fall over the edge.

Specs and design details

Here is what Alpha Hookah states for the models it describes.

• FNX Gold and Silver: Stainless steel, one-piece construction, 217 g.
• FNX bowl fit: Described as fitting all popular bowls on the market.
• FNX design: Piston-inspired, with technical characteristics marked on one side.
• Roller: Aluminum, with ergonomic design and branded engravings.
• Diamond Silver: No separate specifications supplied by the manufacturer.

Usage tips

• Begin with a small number of coals and adjust from there.
• Place coals on the base so they sit completely inside the edge.
• Always use tongs and let the HMD cool before you handle it.
• Pack the bowl loosely so air can pass freely.

If you want more control over your session, an HMD is one of the best upgrades you can make, and Alpha gives you several designs to choose from.

The four versions suit different preferences. The Roller is the aluminum option with an automotive theme and branded engravings. The two FNX versions, Gold and Silver, are the stainless steel designs with the most published detail. The Diamond Silver is also offered, though the manufacturer does not provide a separate description for it.

Whichever you choose, the idea is the same. Rather than placing coals directly on the tobacco, a heat management device spreads and moderates the heat, which usually means a smoother session that lasts longer before the tobacco turns harsh.

WARNING: This product is intended for use with tobacco. Tobacco contains nicotine, an addictive chemical.
