SOLARIS ADAM Bowl

Selecting the right bowl is essential to make the most of your heat system (HMD) ! For classic foil packs, almost every type of bowl (flat, Turkish, phunnel, vortex) will work, so you can freely experiment with flavors. Using a Provost system? Choose a high-rimmed phunnel or flat bowl with a dedicated rim for steadiness and even heating.

With Kaloud, opt for bowls specifically shaped for this system—such as the Kaloud Samsaris or compatible cut-out bowls—which ensure perfect fit and optimal heat control. Chimney systems (Brohood, Dragon, Badcha) require classic Turkish clay bowls or durable glass options (like Dschinni Nero Glass), handling high heat and natural coals with ease.

For Quasar Raas, El-Badia also offers dedicated bowls, engineered for performance and longevity. You’ll find all shapes, brands, and materials (ceramic, glass, silicone, clay) in our selection.

Pro tip: Try different materials for different tobaccos—clay for authenticity, glass for purity, silicone for durability and on-the-go use. Getting the right bowl/heat match ensures optimal flavor and a unique experience!

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your shisha bowl in top shape and ensuring incredible smoke every time. Once your session ends, allow your bowl to cool down before touching it—this prevents thermal shock. Once cool, empty any leftover tobacco, then gently clean the bowl with a non-scratch sponge and liquid soap. This method clears molasses residue, tobacco buildup, and lingering odors, no matter if the bowl is made of clay, ceramic, glass, or silicone. For a deeper clean, soak the bowl in warm water with specific cleaner like El-Badia Shisha Cleaner powder or a dash of white vinegar for tough spots. Rinse thoroughly and dry well before the next use.

Avoid rinsing a hot bowl with cold water to prevent cracks. A specialized bowl brush is handy for hard-to-reach spots, and you can find all El-Badia cleaning products for targeted care.

Pro tip: every material needs a little extra attention—never use steel wool on silicone, and use only a soft sponge for glass bowls. Proper care preserves your flavors and guarantees every shisha/hookah session is smooth and hygienic!
