A pipe to be used for smoking with a bowl, where the tobacco being smoked is burned, having three cavities or chambers defined therein. One of the chambers is a burning chamber wherein the tobacco to be smoked is burned, beneath the burning chamber is a screen, a control valve that varies the diameter of the passage between the burning chamber and a cooling chamber underneath this valve. A second screen separates the cooling chamber from a third chamber, called the filtering chamber. The filtering medium is the same substance being smoked and it is packed and held inside the filtering chamber with a third screen that is placed at the end of the filtering chamber. The third screen in turn is held in place when the bowl is connected to the stem. Finally, a mouthpiece is connected to the stem. The ends of the bowl piece may be interchanged, thereby providing two choices for the size of the burning chamber to be used depending on the amount of substance to be smoked.
A two-piece smoking pipe vaporization chamber with directed heat intake is disclosed. The two-piece smoking pipe vaporization chamber with directed heat intake comprises a lower chamber member having a bowl portion formed therein to hold materials from which vapor is to be extracted. The bowl portion communicates with a vapor intake conduit at a vapor intake orifice thereof disposed below the bowl portion. The vapor intake conduit is adapted to mate with a smoking pipe conduit. A lower screen member is disposed in the bowl portion of the lower chamber member over the vapor intake orifice. An upper chamber member is adapted to mate with the lower chamber portion in a substantially air-tight manner to form a vaporization chamber. The upper chamber member includes a generally-conical-shaped heat intake conduit communicating therewith and is disposed at an off-axis angle and has a heat intake orifice at a distal end thereof. The upper chamber member is adapted to accept output from a heat source.
A method of using a two-piece smoking pipe vaporization chamber with directed heat intake is disclosed comprising applying a material from which vapor is to be extracted over the surface of a lower screen member. The method further comprises forming a vaporization chamber by combining a lower chamber member and an upper chamber member and coupling the vaporization chamber with a delivery vessel. The method also includes adjusting a heat gun to a predetermined temperature and inserting a discharge nozzle of the heat gun into the upper chamber member. The method includes warming the material from which vapor is to be extracted to cause a vapor to be extracted from the material from which vapor is to be extracted and inhaling the vapor from the delivery vessel.
A vaporizer device that uses a flame for vaporizing flavor and psychoactive compounds from smoking materials such as tobacco. The present device has a filter unit 34 with a porous flame filter 36. The flame filter 36 can be made of open-cell ceramic or metal foam, sintered ceramic or metal granules or other porous, heat resistant materials. In use, flame is supplied to the flame filter, and inhalation causes ambient air to enter the flame filter as well. The flame exhaust and ambient air are mixed within the flame filter and produce an air stream of intermediate temperature. The intermediate temperature air stream is hot enough to vaporize desirable components from the smoking material, but generally is not hot enough to burn the smoking material. The temperature of the air stream can be controlled by adjusting the amount of flame supplied to the flame filter 36.
A tobacco pipe (10) having a hollow stem (12) threaded to a manifold (20) on top of which a turret (30) is rotatably mounted. Turret (30) is of greater weight than that of manifold (20), so that any one of a plurality of turret magazines (33) remains stationary over a chamber (24) in the manifold (20) in their relative rotation, so that smoking tobacco in the aligned magazine (33) with such chamber (24) takes place through the hollow stem (12). A screen (28) seats in a recess 27 of a port (25) of manifold (20) at a sufficient distance from the turret's chamber (24), preventing scorching of screen (28) by a source of flame at/in chamber (24) in the aligned magazine (33). A member (37) is seated in a cavity (38) co-extensive between and within turret (30) and manifold (20), and includes a bearing surface (42) that abuts a bearing surface (41) in turret (30) and includes threads (48) disposed within manifold (20) and threads (49) in turret (30) for fastening turret (30) to manifold (20) in an unbinding manner due to the assembly of abutting bearing surfaces (42, 41). A second set of bearing surfaces (46, 45) are provided in member (37) and manifold (20), respectively. Series of fluted surfaces (50, 52) on peripheries (51, 19) of turret (30) and manifold (20) assists in aligning a magazine (33) with chamber (24). Weight of turret (30) over that of manifold (20) maintains a stationary position between the two during a smoking mode. Pipe (10) is free of clogging and residue that otherwise would adhere to screen (28) due to a wide shelf (34) for the magazines (33).
