What is a puff? El-Badia expert definition
A puff—commonly called a “disposable vape” in the UK/US and “puff bar” or “disposable pod”—is a pocket-sized, pre-filled electronic cigarette. Just inhale to activate : no buttons or setup. Flavored e-liquid (with or without nicotine) is inside, and most puffs are for single use (throw away when empty), while some new models are rechargeable for longer use and lower waste. This evolution follows recent regulations, especially in France where disposables are banned since Feb 2025.
El-Badia offers legal options : rechargeable puffs, value puff packs and modern e-hookahs. Find more on regulation updates or alternatives in the blog : Disposable Puffs Ban in France, Rechargeable Puffs: The Future.

A classic shisha at El-Badia is made for easy everyday use and broad accessibility: affordable, simple setup, durable standard materials (steel, aluminum, acrylic), and a versatile, no-fuss design. These shishas offer smooth sessions and low-maintenance reliability—perfect for beginners and casual lounges alike. Popular models include the Celeste, C5 V2, C7 V2, or XS shisha.
Premium hookahs—also often called high-end shishas—go a step further. They feature sophisticated construction with top-grade materials (stainless steel, noble woods, hand-blown glass), designer aesthetics, and innovative details: diffusers, magnet connections, advanced columns, and total compatibility with next-generation heat management like Kaloud or Quasar. For connoisseurs, these hookahs provide purer taste, longevity, refined styles, and advanced features. The premium segment showcases exclusive collaborations: Wookah hookahs, Steamulation, Moze, and special editions like luxury shishas.
In short, classic shishas are universal and practical, while premium hookahs are all about innovation, craftsmanship and a truly customized experience for the most demanding enthusiasts.
For a premium shisha session, always opt for natural coconut-based charcoals like 320°, Blackcoco’s, Cococha, Dream Cubes, or King Coco—available on the El-Badia natural charcoal page. These coals provide even, long-lasting heat, preserve authentic flavor, and generate minimal ash.Natural charcoal goes perfectly with advanced heat management systems (Kaloud Lotus, Brohood, Quasar) and is the standard for a pure shisha or hookah experience. Quick-light charcoals are only recommended for outdoor setups or when needing a very fast start; they tend to alter flavor and produce more residue. Choose the right shape (cube, disc, hexagon...) to match your device and heating system. Our expert advice: natural shisha charcoal is a must for the best sessions.
French law only allows licensed tobacco shops to sell shisha tobacco, so El-Badia does not offer any tobacco-based products. Instead, you’ll find a wide range of tobacco-free shisha flavors—including cellulose-based blends, vapor stones, and aromatic creams—all available in dozens of fruit and classic flavors. For an experience close to traditional tobacco, explore Zodiac, made in the Al-Fakher factory from tea leaves, replicating the texture and flavor of real shisha tobacco, but fully legal. El-Badia helps you enjoy modern, flavorful, and legal shisha with safe, innovative alternatives.
