Graphit: the El-Badia shisha with a mineral character
The Graphit takes its name from the rock, and it shows at first glance. With a base cut like a block of granite, an understated carbon grey stem and bright touches of colour, this El-Badia shisha makes a statement with a contemporary, technical and distinctive design. Standing 58 cm tall, it is as much at home on a living-room table as in a lounge, and the purge concealed in the stem gives it a visual signature no other model in the range can offer.
A faceted base inspired by rock and granite
The base is the centrepiece of this hookah. Angular, textured and criss-crossed with irregular facets, it looks like a shard of raw rock. Its translucent grey tint catches the light and throws it back in reflections that shift with the viewing angle, giving the whole piece a highly worked mineral look. With its wide footprint, it also keeps everything nicely stable during the session.
Carbon grey and coloured POM elements
Against this spectacular base, the stem keeps things understated with its carbon grey finish. The touches of colour come from the POM elements, a tough technical polymer that is pleasant to the touch: a segment of the stem, the stem collar and the hose handle take on the chosen shade. Six versions are available: Green, Grey, Orange, Pink, Purple and Yellow. The bright colours set up a bold contrast with the carbon grey, while the Grey version goes monochrome for a more discreet look.
A purge built into the stem, for a unique visual effect
This is the detail that made this model's reputation. Instead of a conventional valve, the purge is concealed along the stem: several small holes drilled into the coloured segment let the vapour escape when you blow into the handle. The stale air in the base is refreshed for a cooler draw, and the vapour streams out in fine wisps all around the stem. The effect is as beautiful as it is effective, enough to impress your guests at every session. For a beginner, purging simply means blowing gently into the hose: the Graphit turns that technical gesture into a moment of theatre.
Aluminium finishes and seal-fit assembly
The black tray and the inner tube are made of aluminium, a lightweight material that cleans easily and does not hold on to flavours from one session to the next. The stem fits onto the base with a rubber seal: no thread, quick assembly and a consistent draw. The downstem is fitted with a diffuser that breaks the bubbles up for a smoother pull and a quieter session, welcome when you are sharing the hookah with friends.
A complete kit, ready for the first session
Everything you need to get started is supplied: an aluminium hose handle, a soft, washable silicone hose, a spring to protect the hose at the bend, charcoal tongs and a Kaloud-compatible silicone bowl. This bowl takes a Kaloud heat management device directly, with no foil: even heating, molasses that lasts longer and dense clouds from start to finish. All that is left is to choose your molasses and your coals.
Who this shisha is for
The Graphit will appeal to the enthusiast looking for a hookah from a French brand with an original look, delivered complete and easy to get to grips with. Its faceted base and visible purge make it a real conversation piece, ideal for those who love entertaining. Shisha bars and lounges will find it a model that is easy to maintain between services, available in six colours to dress their tables and stamp their identity.

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.
