What’s New from Darkside: Stronger, More Durable, More Refined

When you hear Darkside, their iconic dark leaf hookah tobacco is probably the first thing that comes to mind. But over the past decade, the brand has expanded far beyond tobacco. Today, you can build your entire hookah setup with Darkside products, from the hookah itself to bowls, HMDs and all the accessories you need. They all have something in common: modern design, smart details and, above all, excellent functionality.

And there’s plenty happening at Darkside this year. Following the success of the Evo hookah, three new colors have joined the lineup. There’s also the brand-new Darkside Pro hookah, along with two exciting additions to the accessories range: the upgraded D-Heater Pro HMD and the D-Catcher Pro molasses catcher.

Evo: Same Great Hookah, Three New Colors

Why change something that already works? The Darkside Evo has all the features you need for a comfortable hookah session and easy cleaning. If you appreciate modern design and don’t want to spend too much time setting up your hookah, Evo has you covered.

The stem connects to the glass base with a click-lock system, allowing you to separate the two with a simple twist.

There’s also a magnetic hose connector, so you don’t need any additional seals. Just pull out the hose whenever you want to rinse it.

The removable diffuser lets you choose between stronger bubbling and a smoother, quieter draw. And the vertical purge adds an impressive visual touch when you blow out the smoke.

Another clever feature that saves you plenty of cleaning time? The built-in molasses catcher prevents molasses from dripping down into the base. Simply remove it, rinse it and you’re done.

In short, the Darkside Evo has everything you’d expect from a hookah for an enjoyable session. And now, alongside the classic black version, you can choose from three new colors: green, bronze and gray.

Darkside Pro: Solid Construction, Great Price

The brand-new Darkside Pro brings together many of the popular features you already know, but its biggest advantage is a durable all-metal construction at a great price.

While the Evo combines metal and plastic components, the Darkside Pro is made from stainless steel and anodized aluminum.

You won’t miss out on the popular features either. It still comes with a magnetic hose connector, a removable diffuser and an eye-catching vertical purge. Unlike the Evo, however, the Pro doesn’t include a built-in molasses catcher or a glass base. This gives you the freedom to choose a base that suits your style.

So, if you’re looking for a hookah that’s built to last, the Darkside Pro offers an attractive alternative at a great price.

D-Heater Pro: odolnější než dřív

U původního D-Heateru funguje všechno tak, jak má. Právě proto Darkside nemusel měnit celý koncept a zaměřil se na část, která při pravidelném používání dostává nejvíc zabrat - samotný povrch.

D-Heater Pro má nově galvanickou povrchovou úpravu, která má lépe odolávat opotřebení, vysokým teplotám i stopám od kleští a uhlíků. Pokud heat management používáte často, rozdíl oceníte hlavně po čase, kdy by klasický povrch už začínal nést známky používání.

Samotný princip zůstává stejný - hliníková konstrukce, rovnoměrný rozvod tepla a široká kompatibilita s korunkami. Verze Pro tak nevymýšlí nový způsob práce s teplem, ale výrazně vylepšuje právě to místo, na kterém je dlouhodobé používání vidět nejvíc.

D-Catcher Pro: A Stronger Threaded Connection Replaces Magnets

Tired of spending ages cleaning leftover molasses out of your hookah after every session? A molasses catcher traps much of it before it reaches the inside of your hookah, making cleanup considerably easier.

Darkside’s molasses catcher fits directly beneath the bowl, collecting most of the residue so you can simply remove the D-Catcher and rinse it clean.

So, what’s changed? The original Darkside D-Catcher uses a magnetic connection, making it easy to take apart and clean. In the new D-Catcher Pro, Darkside has replaced the magnets with a stainless-steel threaded connection.

The individual parts now screw together securely, making the whole construction more stable. Another upgrade is the combination of stainless steel and aluminum, providing greater durability for long-term use.

With the D-Catcher Pro, the Pro name reflects a real change in construction. If you use a molasses catcher regularly or your hookah gets heavy use, the new version is particularly worth considering for its stronger connection and more durable materials.
