Smoking pipes

We'll only email you about this product — no marketing.
KØL Filters are titanium-coated stainless steel replacement screens designed for the HØJ KØL and KØL Mini pipes. Each filter features a fine mesh that catches ash and particulates before they reach your mouth, keeping every draw clean without restricting airflow. If you've been smoking through a gunked-up original filter and wondering why your pipe tastes off, this is the fix.
A clogged filter changes everything about your smoke. Airflow drops, draw resistance climbs, and you end up pulling harder just to get the same hit — which means more combustion byproducts and a harsher taste. We've had customers come in convinced their KØL pipe had "lost its magic" when the real problem was a filter that hadn't been swapped in months.
The mesh on these KØL Filters is fine enough to trap ash and plant matter but open enough to let vapour and smoke pass without that suffocating tightness you get from cotton or paper alternatives. And because they're titanium-coated stainless steel rated to 600°C, they won't degrade, warp, or off-gas at normal smoking temperatures. You're not adding anything to your smoke — you're subtracting the bits you don't want.
One honest note: these filters do need regular cleaning to perform at their best. Resin builds up on that fine mesh faster than you'd expect, especially with stickier material. A quick soak in isopropyl alcohol every week or two keeps them working like new. Skip the cleaning and you'll be back to restricted airflow within a fortnight — not because the filter is bad, but because resin is relentless.

Already got the filters sorted? If your KØL pipe itself is looking tired, the HØJ KØL Pipe and KØL Mini are both in the shop. And if you want to keep your herb ground consistently fine for a smoother bowl, pair these filters with the HØJ KLIP grinder — the slicing action produces a fluffier grind that sits on the mesh without clogging it as fast.
There's a noticeable difference in draw resistance the moment you drop a new filter in. We swapped a 3-month-old filter for a fresh one on a KØL Mini in the shop and the difference was immediate — lighter pull, cleaner taste, no ash on the tongue. It's one of those small upgrades that makes you wonder why you waited.
The titanium coating is worth mentioning because it's not just marketing. Titanium creates a non-reactive surface layer, which means the filter doesn't impart any metallic taste even after repeated heating cycles. Cheaper stainless steel screens without that coating can develop a faint tang over time, especially at higher temperatures. At 600°C heat tolerance, these filters sit well above the 230–400°C range where most dry herb combustion happens, so there's a generous safety margin built in.
The weight of each filter is negligible — you won't feel the difference in your pipe. But pick one up and you can feel the rigidity compared to a standard brass screen from a corner shop. These don't bend or deform when you push them into the bowl, which means a consistent seal every time. No gaps around the edges, no ash sneaking through.
We've sold the HØJ KØL since it launched, and the single most common complaint we hear isn't about the pipe — it's about people not realising the filters are replaceable. They'll smoke through the same screen for 6 months, wonder why the draw feels like sucking a milkshake through a coffee stirrer, and then discover these exist. Keep 2–3 spares in rotation and you'll never have a bad session because of a blocked filter. Swap one in, soak the dirty one, repeat. Simple system, zero drama.
With regular cleaning (every 1–2 weeks), a single KØL Filter lasts several months. If you notice draw resistance increasing even after a thorough isopropyl soak, it's time for a fresh one. Heavy daily smokers tend to swap every 6–8 weeks.
Yes — that's exactly what these are. KØL Filters are the official HØJ replacement screens, made from the same titanium-coated stainless steel as the originals that ship with the pipe. They fit both the KØL and KØL Mini.
Soak in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol for 15–30 minutes, scrub gently with a soft brush, rinse under warm water, and air-dry completely. Avoid using a lighter or torch to burn off resin — it works but can discolour the titanium coating over time.
Not when clean. The fine mesh is engineered to trap particulates without choking the draw. Restricted airflow is almost always a sign the filter needs cleaning or replacing, not a design flaw.
Technically you can force a generic brass screen in there, but it won't sit flush in the magnetic housing and you'll lose the seal. The KØL Filters are precision-cut for the pipe's filter seat. We'd stick with the originals — the fit matters more than you'd think.
Yes. HØJ designed these filters to fit both the full-size KØL and the KØL Mini. Same filter, same mesh, same titanium-coated stainless steel — just drop it in.
