El-Badia Z1 shisha: stainless steel in a compact format
The El-Badia Z1 shisha is a compact 34 cm shisha made of stainless steel and mounted on a thick glass base. Its careful finish and performance make it a favourite with enthusiasts and professionals alike who value quality and durability in their gear, without overlooking the price.
Quick assembly with the click system
The stem attaches to the base with a riveted click system: one simple move is all it takes to assemble the shisha, and everything stays perfectly stable during the session. The hose port is set into the base, for a clean, streamlined silhouette.
Hidden purge and reversible diffuser
The Z1 features a hidden purge at the base: the released vapour flows out all around the stem for a striking visual effect. Its reversible diffuser offers two positions. With the 8 holes submerged, bubbles are reduced and the draw becomes smooth and light. With the holes blocked, you get a heavier draw. That way you choose the feel that suits you, session after session.
Included accessories
The shisha comes with a 20.5 cm stainless steel hose handle, a silver Soft Touch silicone hose, an anti-kink spring and a push-in stainless steel connector. The bowl is not included, so you're free to choose the one that matches how you like to enjoy your shisha, for example the Quasar RAAS 2 thermal bowl.
Several colours available
The Z1 comes in several finishes: Clear, Shiny Blue, Shiny Green and Shiny Pink. Plenty of choice to match your shisha to your interior or the atmosphere of your hookah lounge.
Who is this shisha for?
Its compact format will appeal to anyone short on space or who likes to take their shisha along. Beginners will find a reliable first stainless steel shisha at an affordable price, and connoisseurs a sturdy, long-lasting model. In a shisha bar, the stainless steel and thick base stand up well to daily use.
Why buy at el-badia.com
Like every shisha in the El-Badia range, the Z1 offers excellent value for money and puts a stainless steel shisha within everyone's reach. A shisha specialist since 1991, El-Badia also offers the bowls, coals and accessories to complete your setup.
El-Badia expert tip
Fill the base so the diffuser is submerged by just a few centimetres: the draw stays light and the bubbles discreet. Try both diffuser positions during your first sessions to find the one that suits your taste.

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.
