El-Badia P1 Shisha – portable model with silicone hose and dual-bowl head
Compact, smart, and designed by one of France’s leading shisha experts, the El-Badia P1 shisha sets a new benchmark in the world of portable models. Created by El-Badia, a brand trusted for over 30 years, it appeals to travelling enthusiasts and seasoned hookah lovers alike.
A design made to move
What stands out about the P1 is its compact 24 cm size. But its real strength lies in its patented hose reel system – a clever innovation that stores the silicone hose neatly inside the base, keeping it tidy and protected during transport.
? Note: On unboxing, you’ll find the hose carefully coiled in this internal reel. Simply open the base to retrieve it before your first use.
Weighing only 0.5 kg, it slips easily into a backpack, making it the ideal companion for a social evening, a trip, or even for professional use in a mobile shisha bar.
Dual-capacity clay bowl for maximum flexibility
One of this shisha’s main advantages is its reversible ceramic bowl with two different depths.
- “Small capacity” mode – for a quick session, perfect with self-lighting charcoal.
- “Large capacity” mode – for longer, more stable heating, ideal with natural charcoal.
This versatility lets you tailor your hookah session to the tobacco, heat intensity, and smoking time you prefer.
As an option, El-Badia offers a dedicated HMD heating system for the P1, ensuring even heat and consistent flavour.
Safety and quality first
The P1 is not only practical – it’s designed for safe use. A protective cap covers the charcoal during transport, reducing accident risks.
Its multifunctional base ingeniously combines the bowl support, hose connector, downstem attachment, and purge valve, maintaining robustness and performance while saving space.
The acrylic base is light yet strong, while the silicone hose and handle ensure a smooth draw comparable to much larger hookahs.
A real shisha made for travel
Despite its size, the P1 delivers the feel of a full-sized model – easy airflow, dense clouds, and stable heating – whether indoors or outdoors.
El-Badia also offers replacement parts and accessories: base, lid, extra bowl, or the matching HMD. Perfect for customising and upgrading your shisha over time.
In short: The El-Badia P1 shisha is far more than a portable gadget. It’s a complete, reliable, and versatile hookah built for smoking anywhere, anytime, without compromising draw quality or flavour.
? Expert tip: For optimal, even heating, pair the P1 with its dedicated HMD and natural charcoal – even when smoking outdoors.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that your shisha lasts as long as possible and always provides a pleasant experience. Here are a few tips to keep your shisha in top condition:
- Cleaning after each use
Rinse the vase in hot water immediately after use. Use a special shisha brush to remove any residue. Also clean the body of the shisha with a special brush designed specifically to reach hard-to-reach areas. Find our different shisha cleaning products and shisha brushes here.
- Deep cleaning
For a more thorough clean, we recommend using EL-BADIA SHISHA CLEANER Powder. This powerful solution offers several benefits: it effectively removes stubborn stains, unwanted odors and lime deposits. It disinfects your hookah for a more hygienic experience and makes your hookah shine, restoring its original shine.
To use Shisha Cleaner, dilute two teaspoons of powder in 1 litre of hot water. Immerse your shisha parts in this solution for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. This method ensures thorough cleaning and optimum disinfection of your shisha.
- Maintenance of the various parts
Firebox: Empty it after each use and clean it with a sponge and liquid soap.
Pipe: Make sure it is washable, then rinse it with water and shake it to remove any residue.
Seals: Simply rinse with water, or soak briefly in soapy water if necessary.
By following these regular maintenance tips, you'll considerably extend the life of your shisha while guaranteeing quality sessions every time you use it.
