Reviews

The Darkside D-Fender 2.0 is a tall, stainless protective screen that minimises coal mishaps without changing your bowl’s heat profile. Its revised superellipse venting and heat-resistant powder-coat deliver clean looks and dependable function.

Why it stands out

  • 23 cm height for confident coverage on most setups.
  • Stainless steel with heat-resistant powder-coat.
  • Superellipse vents maintain airflow and vapour.
  • Stable on the tray to reduce accidental coal drops.

Compatibility

Designed to sit on the tray and fit most bowls and hookahs; tall enough to cover a bowl mounted on a molasses catcher.

Setup

  • Place the screen on the tray around your bowl.
  • Use with your preferred heat management approach (foil/HMD) and standard coal rotation practice.

Performance

Screening without restricting airflow; does not affect bowl temperature.

Maintenance

Allow to cool fully before handling. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Troubleshooting

  • Feels unstable on tray → Ensure the tray is seated properly and flat.
  • Airflow seems muted → Check that vents aren’t covered by foil overhang.
