Abstract: A cartridge processing system can have a base to support cartridges on an underlying support surface. The base can include a rack with support holes to support respective ones of the cartridges. In addition, a tray having a tray bottom can be removably placed on tops of the cartridges. A platform with platform holes can be substantially coaxially aligned with respective ones of the support holes. The tray can have a funnel extending from the platform. The funnel can form a perimeter around the platform holes, such that the platform holes can be conduits for product to be placed in the cartridges.

Abstract: A smoking device can include a tube with an axis, a proximal end, a distal end and a restriction located between the proximal and distal ends. A combustion space is located axially inside the tube between the restriction and the distal end. The combustion space can contain a combustion product. In addition, a sleeve can be removably mounted to an exterior of the tube. The sleeve can be formed from an elastic material and have a storage configuration that can completely encapsulate both the proximal end and the distal end of the tube to seal the tube. The sleeve also can have a use configuration mounted to the proximal end of the tube, and removed from the distal end of the tube to allow air flow through the tube and the sleeve.

Abstract: A system for smoking a product includes a vase for containing a liquid. The vase has a closed bottom, and a side wall extending from the closed bottom and an open top that is unobstructed. The system further includes a bottle for inserting into and removing from the vase. The bottle has an open bottom, an open top, a flange circumscribing the bottle adjacent the open top, and a conical opening in the open top that is unobstructed. In addition, the system includes a grommet mounted to the open bottom of the bottle such that the open bottom is substantially unobstructed. Lastly, the system includes a bowl with a conical exterior that is complementary in shape to the conical opening in the bottle. The bowl can form a conical, glass-to-glass seal with the bottle.

Abstract: An apparatus for smoking combustible material can include a glass tube having an axis and open ends. The apparatus can have a rod axially coupled to the glass tube. In addition, a grommet formed from an elastic material can be included. Examples of the grommet can have a tube end to axially receive the glass tube in an interior of the grommet. A shoulder can be located in the interior of the grommet to abut one of the open ends of the glass tube. The grommet can further include a rod end to receive and frictionally engage a portion of the rod and permit relative motion between the rod and the grommet. In addition, the grommet can have an external annular recess located between the tube end and the rod end.
