ENSŌ Device
FAQ’s
Bowls, Packing & Flavours
-
Yes, ENSŌ is designed for every tobacco and herbal molasses. For dark leafs
we recommend to give it more heating time after pre-heat and use smaller
leafs. -
ENSŌ handles any moist, molasses-based shisha—dark-leaf or blonde—as well
as herbal mixes. Smaller leafs and semi-dense packing works the best. If your
chosen tobacco have large leafs, you can cut them with scissors before loading
into the bowl. -
Place 8 – 15g in the ceramic cup, semi-dense with a central airway. Start at
175 °C for 5–8 min, then step up 30–45 ° as needed. -
Yes—add the Flower Cup or Glass Collar accessory to fit up to 20g.
-
45–60 min with the standard cup; up to 120 min with a Flower Cup (stir
halfway). -
Absolutely. Layer or split 50/50—just keep total mass under 15g and leave the
airway clear. Put mint or spice notes on top for best effect. -
Ten single-use aluminum cups ship with each kit—ideal for sticky mixes or
rapid swaps. Rinse gently for up to three uses, then recycle. -
Yes. Use the ceramic cup with the mesh screen and wax pad, or add
accessories:
• Gold-plated herb cup – up to 1.5g at 260 °C+
• Glass wax cup or cotton pad for oils; activate G-Mode.
Cleaning & Maintenance
-
Rinse cups after every session and perform a full brush routine every 3–5 bowls
(weekly for heavy users). -
After every session for optimum flavour. Deep-clean the glass tank after 2–3
sessions. -
The electronics are splash-resistant, but never submerge the battery
compartment. Detach the pack before rinsing the chamber. -
Soak for 30 min in warm water, scrape residue with the multitool, rinse and dry.
-
Run hot water through the airway, scrub with the large brush and multitool. For
stubborn build-up, wrap a strip of kitchen cloth around the flat end of the tool. -
Rinse under warm water; scrub the mouthpiece with the small brush supplied,
then air-dry. -
Clean all parts promptly after heavily flavoured sessions and allow them to dry
completely in fresh air.

Yes. First, avoid overpacking—keep the load between 8 and 15 g and leave a
clear chimney in the centre of the bowl. If the pull is still too restricted, attach

larger diameter can nearly double airflow for an effortless draw. -
