Shisha & hookah

We'll only email you about this product — no marketing.
The Deroua is a portable glass shisha built for smokers who want a genuine hookah experience without being anchored to the living room. This compact pipe stands just 34cm tall with a 9cm base, built around a clear cylindrical glass chamber, a dark aluminium stem, and a ceramic bowl. It's one of the slimmest shisha pipes you'll find — designed to be dismantled, thrown in a bag, and fired up wherever you end up. Two hose ports mean you can share a session without passing the mouthpiece back and forth. If you're looking to buy a portable glass shisha that actually delivers smooth smoke on the go, the Deroua by Champ Al Malik is worth a serious look.
The Deroua ships as a complete kit with five core components — everything you need to start smoking straight out of the box, no hunting for separate parts.

At 34cm tall and 9cm across the base — roughly the size of a water bottle — the Deroua is one of the most travel-friendly hookah pipes currently available. Most shisha pipes are built for the living room table and that's where they stay. The moment you try to move them, you're juggling a wide glass vase, a metre-tall stem, and a tangle of hoses — one bump and something cracks. The Deroua solves this by stripping a hookah down to its essentials. The aluminium stem and tray won't shatter if your bag gets knocked around, and the clear glass chamber is compact enough to wrap in a tea towel and tuck alongside your charcoal.
We've handled a lot of shisha pipes over the years, and the honest limitation here is capacity. That 9cm base holds roughly 150-200ml of water — significantly less than a full-size hookah's 500-800ml — so you'll get a slightly warmer draw compared to a pipe with a big bulbous vase. For long, lazy sessions at home where you're packing bowl after bowl for hours, a larger hookah with more water volume will give you cooler smoke. But for a park session, a balcony evening, or taking to a mate's house, the Deroua hits a sweet spot between portability and smooth smoke that bigger pipes simply can't match.
The aluminium construction also means it weighs roughly 450g assembled — noticeably less than brass or stainless steel alternatives that often tip 1.5-2kg. Pick it up and you'll feel the difference immediately — it's light enough that you won't think twice about tossing it in a backpack. The ceramic bowl holds heat well and gives you a clean flavour from your shisha tobacco without any metallic taste bleeding through.
Assembly takes about two minutes from unboxing to first draw, even if you've never touched a hookah before. Here's the step-by-step:
The Deroua accommodates two smokers simultaneously, which is a genuine plus at this size — most portable shisha pipes under 40cm are single-hose only. Having the option to share without constantly passing the mouthpiece is a nice touch. That said, with two people drawing simultaneously on a compact pipe, you'll burn through your bowl faster — roughly 30-40 minutes versus 45-60 minutes solo. If you're planning shared sessions regularly, keep extra shisha tobacco and coals on hand.
For solo use, the Deroua is about as fuss-free as shisha gets. The small chamber means smoke doesn't go stale sitting in a huge vase between draws. You get fresher, more flavourful hits because the smoke path from bowl to mouthpiece is short — 34cm versus 60-80cm on a standard hookah. It's a different experience to a big pipe, and honestly, for a quick 20-minute session after dinner, we'd pick this over setting up a full-size hookah every time. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), waterpipe use has grown steadily across Europe, and compact models like the Deroua reflect that shift toward casual, social smoking rather than elaborate home setups.
Rinse the glass chamber with warm water after every session — shisha residue builds up fast in a small volume of water, and stale hookah water is one of the worst smells in the smoking world. The clear glass base is the Deroua's best feature for cleaning: you can see exactly when it's dirty and exactly when it's clean. Trust us on that one.
For the aluminium stem, run warm water through it and use a thin pipe brush if you have one. The ceramic bowl can be soaked in warm water to loosen burnt tobacco, then scrubbed clean. Avoid using soap on the ceramic — it can absorb detergent flavours that taint your next session. The hose should be blown out after each use and hung to dry. Replace it when the draw starts tasting off, which typically happens after a few months of regular use.
Complete your portable glass shisha setup with the Exclusive Clay Bowl by Champ Al Malik — a 100% clay construction that offers excellent heat resistance and pairs directly with the Deroua's stem. If you're after natural coconut charcoal for a cleaner burn, check the Azarius hookah accessories section for coals and heat management devices. You can also order extra hoses and grommets to keep your kit fresh for longer.
Yes. The Deroua separates into five parts — glass base, aluminium stem, ash tray, ceramic bowl, and hose. The whole thing comes apart in under a minute. Wrap the glass base in something soft and the rest is aluminium and ceramic, so it handles being in a bag without drama.
Fill it so the bottom of the stem is submerged by about 2-3cm. With a 9cm base, that's not a lot of water — roughly 150-200ml. Too much water makes the draw too tight; too little and you lose the cooling and filtering effect.
They can. The Deroua is built to accommodate two smokers. The trade-off is that dual draws on a compact pipe burn through the bowl quicker — expect around 30-40 minutes shared versus 45-60 minutes solo. It works, just keep your session expectations realistic for the size.
Natural coconut shell coals. They burn cleaner, last longer, and don't leave the chemical aftertaste you get from quick-light charcoal discs. Use 2-3 small coals on the Deroua's ceramic bowl — it's a compact setup, so you don't need a mountain of heat.
A full-size hookah (60-80cm) holds 500-800ml of water, delivers a cooler draw, and can sustain longer sessions of 60 minutes or more. The Deroua trades that for portability — at 34cm and 9cm across, it goes where big pipes can't. The smoke is slightly warmer but fresher, since it doesn't linger in a large chamber between draws. It's the best portable glass shisha for travel and outdoor sessions; not a replacement for a dedicated home setup.
Yes. The bowl sits on a standard fitting on top of the aluminium stem. If it cracks or you want to upgrade, any compatible ceramic or clay shisha bowl — like the Exclusive Clay Bowl by Champ Al Malik — will fit.
You can get the Deroua portable glass shisha directly from Azarius. It ships as a complete kit — glass base, aluminium stem, ceramic bowl, ash tray, and hose — so there's nothing extra to order separately unless you want spare accessories.
