Deroua Portable Glass Shisha 34cm by Champ Al Malik
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.

Why the Deroua Is the Best Portable Glass Shisha for Travel
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.
How to Set Up the Deroua Glass Shisha
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:
- Fill the clear glass base with cold water. You want the bottom of the aluminium stem submerged by roughly 2-3cm once inserted — enough to filter and cool the smoke, not so much that you have to pull hard to draw.
- Insert the aluminium stem into the glass base. It should sit snugly. If air leaks around the seal, check the rubber grommet is properly seated.
- Place the aluminium ash tray onto the top of the stem.
- Fit the ceramic bowl on top. Pack your shisha tobacco loosely into the bowl — don't press it down. Airflow through the tobacco is what gives you thick, flavourful clouds.
- Connect the hose to the hose port on the stem. Again, check the grommet for a tight seal.
- Light your charcoal (natural coconut coals work best — quick-light discs tend to leave a chemical aftertaste). Place 2-3 coals on top of your foil-covered bowl or heat management device.
- Give it 3-5 minutes for the tobacco to warm up, then draw slowly through the mouthpiece. You should see bubbles in the glass chamber and smoke building inside.
Cleaning and Maintenance
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Deroua Glass Shisha easy to dismantle for transport?
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.
How much water should I put in the Deroua's 9cm glass base?
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.
Can two people really smoke from this small shisha at the same time?
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.
What type of charcoal works best with the Deroua shisha pipe?
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.
How does the Deroua compare to a full-size hookah?
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.
Is the ceramic bowl on the Deroua replaceable?
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.
Where can I buy the Deroua portable glass shisha?
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.
