Buy UPG Hookah Bowl at Moze

The UPG hookah bowl is one of the most popular traditional bowls! If you've ever visited a hookah bar in Russia or the Czech Republic, you've probably seen the UPG bowl in use. In these countries, traditional bowls are almost exclusively used, and the UPG is widely popular.

If you already have some experience in the hookah world, we definitely recommend trying the Upgrade Form Standard (UPG Standard)!

The UPG Standard is the benchmark for traditional bowls!

When it comes to traditional bowls used with a smoke box, the UPG hookah bowl is unbeatable. It has been one of the top-selling models in this category for years.

Even though the UPG is an unglazed hookah bowl, we have yet to see a bleeding UPG. This is likely because the UPG bowl is produced using a pressing technique, which minimizes the porous structure of the clay.

How to pack the UPG hookah bowl properly

If you've been smoking hookah for a while and have only used a hookah Phunnel before, you'll need to adjust to packing a traditional bowl. However, with a little practice, it's quite easy to master.

The most important thing when packing the UPG is not to pack the tobacco too tightly, as this can restrict airflow. The hookah tobacco should be placed loosely in the bowl.

📄 A step-by-step guide on how to pack a hookah bowl is available in our tutorial: How to Pack a Hookah Bowl. This guide also explains how to set up a traditional bowl with a smoke box.

Choosing the right HMD for the Upgrade Form Standard Hookah Bowl

The UPG is traditionally used with a smoke box. Aluminum foil and chimney setups are generally not used with this model. Even though it may seem like the smoke box doesn't fit on the UPG at first, this type of setup is actually ideal for the bowl.

The smoke box slightly overhangs the rim of the bowl, but the most important thing is that the ventilation slits, which allow hot air to flow through, are positioned above the tobacco chamber.

Whether you prefer an aluminum or stainless steel smoke box depends on your personal preference. Aluminum smoke boxes are more beginner-friendly, as they make heat regulation easier. If you prefer more heat for your UPG, a stainless steel HMD is the better choice.

✔️ Our recommendation: The ONMO HMD is the most popular hookah smoke box on the market and is highly recommended by top hookah influencers in Germany!
