BOWANTRI x ZENIT activated carbon adapter | 14.5 mm

Bowantri x Zenit activated carbon adapter 14.5 mm

At last, unused coal residues and annoying clogging are a thing of the past.
We now present to you what is probably the best activated charcoal adapter in the world!

Driven by the urge for perfection, unfortunately no adapter currently available on the market could satisfy us.
So it was up to us to put an end to this misery.

So we grabbed a real expert in his field, tinkered and tested for all we were worth.
The result is an activated carbon filter that works without a metal sieve, uses 100% of the filled carbon and, on top of that, no longer clogs up if you use our activated carbon*.

With an average of 11 g of carbon filling, you get a surface area of approx. 11,000 m² with our activated carbon, which filters pollutants and suspended matter such as tar out of the smoke.

*An ash catcher is strongly recommended for flood heads.

About Bowantri

Our company history began with the search for a grinder that would become 100 % wood should exist.
Since the wooden grinders currently available on the market only have simple wooden pins as grinding tools, which tear rather than grind the ground material, and the only alternative was plastic or aluminium as material, we had only one option:
We had to produce our own grinders!

That's when the first question came up: "Which type of wood will stand up to our high demands?"

After much research, we came across an African hardwood that can easily withstand both the mechanical stresses of grinding and the thermal stresses of smoking.

So now the question was, "Is logging damaging the forests in Africa and if so, where do we get this wood sustainably?"

The answer was found quite quickly: Through upcycling!
We discovered that the wood species bongossi is used in huge quantities in industry, e.g. in the form of fence posts, railway tracks or even bridges.
Due to its extreme hardness and resistance to weathering, we are able to reuse old wood that is no longer needed by industry and upcycle it for our products.
This allows us to offer high-quality smoking accessories made of solid wood without having to interfere with nature again.

Sustainability

Not only in the sourcing of their raw materials, but also in the storage and packaging of the products, Bowantri is committed to operating as plastic-free as possible.

We only ship the products with insulation made from recycled cardboard to avoid polystyrene flakes.
Only our glassware is shipped in bubble wrap. But here too, we don't buy new ones, but use the packaging we receive from our partners with our glass deliveries.
