Description
The Shii Hookah in Black is an all-in-one hookah with built-in electric heating, made with XKAH heating technology. It needs no charcoal: the heater, bowl, water tank, hose and mouthpiece are all part of one device.
Shii heats your tobacco from above, like a classic hookah, using contact and convection heat together between 265°C and 315°C. Leave it in auto mode, or set the heat yourself in 11 levels of 5°C. It works with any brand of shisha tobacco and uses about half the tobacco of a regular bowl, around 10g a session.
Run it from the hot-swap battery, or plug it in with the USB-C cable for as long as you like. The body stays below 50°C, so it is safe for your interior: Shii will not burn your sofa or floor, even if it falls.

- All-in-one: no separate hookah, bowl or charcoal needed
- Contact and convection heating, 265°C to 315°C in 11 levels
