Design and performance are the highlights of this complete pack around the EPOK Mantis shisha. A promotional-priced starter pack that lets you combine elegance and thick clouds of smoke!
The Mantis Pack is a complete starter set that includes an EPOK Mantis hookah, a BESKAR Rebel heating system, a coal lighter, and a kilo of premium natural coal. This pack is exactly the setup used by our in-house tester in the Mantis presentation video (which you can find on this product page).
The Mantis Pack is designed to make your hookah experience both simple and intuitive. The Beskar system fits perfectly into the EPOK Mantis bowl and provides the exact power needed to produce maximum smoke. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced smoker, this pack will meet your expectations by offering a highly aesthetic hookah that fits perfectly into a modern interior, and more importantly, a high-performance hookah that's easy to handle.
Like the other models of the EPOK brand, the Mantis is a shisha that emphasizes an attractive design and a very affordable price.
The first standing model from the EPOK brand, the Mantis is not lacking in charm with its vase with square and regular lines. Entirely transparent, this acrylic vase contrasts wonderfully with the black metal base that holds it. Although suspended, the vase of the EPOK Mantis offers excellent stability thanks to the heaviness of its base.
With its original design, the Mantis will fit perfectly into contemporary interiors... it hardly looks like a hookah! In terms of equipment, the essentials are there with the presence of an excellent quality hard silicone bowl (Kaloud Lotus compatible), a silicone hose with a metal handle and a diffuser ensuring the lightness of the draw.
Inexpensive, original and effective, the EPOK Mantis is definitely a hookah with a very attractive price-quality ratio!

The REBEL is the brand-new heating system from BESKAR, specializing in the design of metal accessories for hookahs. Innovative and radically different from systems already on the market, the REBEL is a system that pursues two seemingly contradictory goals: to offer maximum smoke production while respecting the flavor of your tobacco. To achieve this feat, BESKAR decided to start from scratch by designing an entirely new system and rethinking air circulation and heat distribution, giving rise to an innovative accessory.
Unlike the majority of heating systems that are made up of assembled and screwed parts, the REBEL has been molded and machined from a single piece of aluminum. This ingenious technique eliminates the need for screws on the device and allows for the use of the entire interior surface of the heating system. When inserting your coals, you won't be hindered by the walls of the chamber and can insert up to 3 cubes of 27mm without the need to break them. Regardless of the desired heating intensity, you can easily assemble the natural charcoal cubes without effort and without the need to stack them. The monobloc nature of the REBEL ensures high resistance to wear, where screws are traditionally a weak point in heating systems.
To offer a completely new experience, Beskar has made specific technical developments regarding the air circulation of the REBEL by combining bottom air inlets and side openings. The structure at the bottom of the REBEL system has been designed to continuously supply oxygen to the coals to keep them burning. The operation of the REBEL can be described as an air current machine, ensuring that the heat from the coals is retained within the system while constantly stimulating the embers to remain active. Another secret of the intense heat of the Beskar Rebel lies in its heat transmitters located under the device. Always make sure to soak them in the tobacco; they are what will give you thick, white smoke!
Manipulating the lid is a real puzzle for all heating system designers. Most manufacturers have opted for a silicone handle system to manipulate the lid. However, this system is not very practical, as it's common for the handle to be hot and difficult to hold despite the silicone. Additionally, this material is not aesthetically pleasing and detracts from the system's design. Beskar has solved this problem with an extremely simple but incredibly practical technical solution: the Rebel's lid has two notches for sliding your coal tongs to manipulate the lid. We've tested it with dozens of different tongs, and it works every time! Simple yet ingenious!
To preserve your Beskar REBEL heating system and ensure its perfect longevity, it's essential to thoroughly dry it if you clean it with water. Do not leave your REBEL submerged in water for extended periods and carefully dry all parts of the system after washing. While your REBEL is designed to withstand the most extreme temperatures, it is not suited for humid environments!
- Heating system compatible with up to three 27mm cube coals
- Straight edges for maximum capacity
- Solid mass monobloc aluminum structure
- Exclusive air circulation system
- Compatible with all Kaloud Lotus size bowls
- Double tong notches for lid manipulation
Lokomotiv K26 charcoal is a high-quality natural charcoal made in Indonesia from the best coconut shell plantations. Thanks to carefully selected raw materials, Lokomotiv has developed premium charcoal with a very high carbon content and consistent manufacturing quality. The K26 comes in the form of 26mm cubes. This shape of shisha charcoal is increasingly used in Europe, where it is appreciated for its versatility. K26 charcoal can indeed be used in pairs in a Kaloud, a Provost, or in a Quasar Raas. The Lokomotiv K26 can also be used in a Brohood chimney-type system in groups of three or four pieces. The K26 differs from mainstream charcoals in its ability to maintain its climax (the moment when the charcoal is at its maximum intensity) longer due to its very high carbon content.
The production of K26 is limited by the availability of agricultural raw materials, as Lokomotiv uses only a specific type of coconut to manufacture consistently high-quality charcoal. The power and intensity of the Lokomotiv K26's heat guarantee thick smoke and long-lasting heating. By using K26 cubes, you will quickly understand that Lokomotiv charcoals truly live up to their name!
Lokomotiv K26 charcoal is also available in 3-kilogram packaging, allowing you to save. You can find the 3-kilogram packages by clicking HERE
