The QUASAR RAAS 2, the ultimate thermal head for faithful and intense flavor rendering. The same, but better!
QUASAR is a French brand whose flagship product is the first thermal bowl for hookah, the result of several years of research and development in hookah engineering.
The QUASAR RAAS 2 is a system that combines a bowl and an integrated heating system, which guarantees optimal and uniform combustion of tobacco thanks to its self-regulating heating, advanced technology, and double-walled heating system.
Easy to use, the QUASAR RAAS 2 stands out for its intuitive use and incomparable performance. Made from exceptional materials such as borosilicate, silicone, and high-quality aluminum, it will ensure an extraordinary experience.
The new features of the QUASAR RAAS 2 bowl include a raised lid, allowing the use of any type of charcoal (natural cube charcoal 26mm or 27mm, self-igniting natural NEO charcoal). The internal diameter of the bowl has been kept to preserve the exceptional and incomparable taste experience of the QUASAR RAAS system.
The composition and fixing of the different elements of the QUASAR RAAS 2 have been improved, strengthening its resistance and longevity.
A notable difference in the QUASAR RAAS 2 is that it offers improved and refined airflow. The engineering has been redesigned to make the most of charcoal heating without the need to constantly change them.
The QUASAR RAAS 2 also has reinforced silicone rings for a safer and more comfortable grip.
Finally, the QUASAR RAAS 2 is dressed in an elegant anthracite gray finish, perfectly retaining heat and prolonging its lifespan.

How to use a Quasar Raas 2 heat management system for shisha?
The Quasar Raas 2 is a next-generation heat management device acclaimed by shisha lovers for pure flavors, easy use and top durability. Here’s how to get the best from your sessions:
1. Prepare the bowl: Fill the borosilicate glass bowl with shisha tobacco or flavoured alternatives—don’t overpack, keep it airy, and don’t let product touch the top. 2. Set up & assemble: Place the Quasar Raas 2 on the bowl; its silicone base makes a secure seal, no extra gasket needed. 3. Light & load coals: Use 2–3 natural coals (26–27mm cubes), ideally 320° or Blackcoco’s. Place fully-lit coals directly on the lid, never preheat the device empty. 4. Heating: Wait 4–5 minutes for heat to spread and flavors to develop, then enjoy dense smoke. 5. Session management: If needed, adjust the lid using ceramic handles, monitor heat intensity, and remove/add coals to your taste.
Cleaning & care: After each use, let everything cool, then wash with warm water and a soft brush. Find Quasar spare parts whenever needed.
Common mistakes: Overpacking, poor coal quality, preheating empty, or moving device while hot.

How should I use a heat management device from El-Badia (Kaloud, Quasar, ARC V3, ONMO, Na Grani…)?
To get the best from your heat management device available at El-Badia—whether it’s a Kaloud Lotus (I+, II, III), a Quasar Raas, a ARC V3, ONMO HMD, Na Grani, or other models—follow these basic steps:
Light your natural coals (cubed 25-27mm) on an electric burner until fully glowing.
Fill the compatible bowl with your preferred tobacco or herbal mix—airy, not overpacked.
Place your heat system (Kaloud, Quasar, ARC V3, ONMO, Na Grani…) directly on the bowl, according to compatibility.
Put the glowing coals in the device’s chamber (2-3 cubes recommended, except 1 for Cyclop/El-Badia P1 HMD). If your system has a lid, close it.
Wait 4–5 minutes for the session to reach optimal temperature and then begin smoking.
Warning: Never preheat your device on a burner—this risks serious damage. All heat should come naturally from the coals.
Adjust the amount of coal based on desired intensity and device recommendations.
Handle hot parts using isolated handles or tongs.
Clean thoroughly after use—for hygiene, taste, and maximum device lifespan.
