About the Quasar brand
Quasar, a recognised French brand, has revolutionised the world of hookah with its heating systems for shisha, including the famous Quasar Raas and its version 2. After several years of research, Quasar developed thermal bowls combining borosilicate glass with an integrated HMD (Heat Management Device) for controlled heating and unmatched flavour. The Quasar Raas 2, like the Petit Raas 2, embodies the brand’s excellence, blending innovation, safety and style.

How to use your Quasar Raas 2 in 5 steps
Preparing the bowl
Fill the glass bowl with your favourite shisha tobacco (or nicotine‑free alternative), without packing too tightly, to ensure optimal airflow. Make sure not to exceed the bowl’s rim to prevent contact with the heating system.
Assembling the system
Place the Quasar Raas 2 heating system onto the bowl, ensuring a tight seal thanks to its silicone base. No additional gaskets are required.
Lighting the coals
Use 2 cubes of natural charcoal (26 or 27 mm recommended) and place them directly on the system’s lid. Never preheat the Quasar Raas 2 while empty.
Heating up
Wait 4–5 minutes before taking your first draw. This is key for progressive heat-up, producing dense smoke while preserving flavour.
Managing your session
Enjoy a long, even session. If needed, move the lid safely using the insulated ceramic handles. Clean after each use to maintain your bowl’s durability.
Mistakes to avoid: overpacking, empty preheating, poor quality coals, or moving the device before it’s cooled down.
