Learn moreThe ENSŌ is a portable electronic shisha that heats molasses with an electric heating element, inside a capsule, with no charcoal and no combustion. No lighting, no ash, no heat management: you fill the capsule, pick a temperature and the session starts. The 2026 version keeps the core of the device (zinc alloy body, glass tank, porcelain heating chamber, removable 5000 mAh battery) and upgrades the hose, the mouthpiece, the battery options and the consumables. El-Badia, shisha experts since 1991, stocks it along with its compatible capsules and accessories.
The hose grows to 1.5 m, longer and wider than on the first version, for a smoother draw and more freedom of movement around the device. The 15 cm mouthpiece has been redesigned in magnetic stainless steel to soften the vapour; an optional mouthpiece extension cools it down even further. The removable 5000 mAh battery is still included, and the device is now compatible with the Battery Plus, a battery sold separately that extends run time and shortens charging. The ThermoCap is now made of glass, which makes it easier to clean. Finally, the consumables are clearly split: disposable capsules for hygiene and instant flavour changes, reusable ceramic cups for regular sessions, both available separately on el-badia.com.
The temperature dial (Thermodial) adjusts from 180 to 330 °C in 5 °C steps. At low temperatures the vapour stays smooth and the flavours of the molasses are preserved; go higher and the clouds get denser. Each capsule holds 15 to 25 g of molasses and the tank takes 0.2 L of water. Heating happens in a porcelain chamber, with no flame and no charcoal, so the device can be used indoors without any burning smell.
The 5000 mAh battery slides out of the device and charges via USB-C. Rated run time is around 2 hours, depending on the temperature you choose and how hard you draw. The removable format lets you keep a charged battery within reach so you can carry on without waiting for the charge to finish. To go further, the 2026 version accepts the Battery Plus, sold separately, which stretches sessions and charges faster.
The body is zinc alloy, the tank is glass, the heating chamber and cups are porcelain, and the mouthpiece is stainless steel. The whole unit measures 33 × 12 cm, weighs 2.55 kg and carries easily thanks to its strap. A compact format that sits on a coffee table, a desk or a lounge counter.
The box includes 10 disposable capsules and 2 ceramic cups. Disposable capsules mean no cleaning between two molasses and no mixing of flavours; they can be rinsed and reused a few times before being recycled. Ceramic cups give even heating and a session of around 45 minutes per capsule. Both formats are available on el-badia.com: disposable capsules for ENSŌ (x20) and ceramic capsules for ENSŌ (x3).
Shisha enthusiasts who want to cut charcoal out of their daily routine, in a flat or at the office, without giving up a real session with molasses. Beginners, who sidestep heat-management mistakes thanks to the adjustable temperature. And professionals (hookah bars, lounges), who get a charcoal-free, repeatable service, with disposable capsules for hygiene between two customers.
Fully charge the battery before first use. Start at around 200 °C with a capsule filled without packing it down, then go up in steps until you find the result you like. Let the device cool before removing the capsule with the supplied tool, and clean the porcelain chamber and the ThermoCap after every session to keep the flavours intact. ENSŌ accessories and spare parts are available on el-badia.com.
