Abstract: The bowl for a water pipe having multiple partitioned compartments (hereinafter invention) is configured for use with a smoking material consumed through a hookah. The invention contains the smoking material during combustion. The combustion of the smoking material releases the pharmacologically active media in a gas phase. The invention is a partitioned structure. The invention is configured to store a plurality of doses of the smoking material. Each dose is stored in a partition. Each partition displays a scale that measures the dose of the smoking material contained in the partition. The invention comprises a partitioned bowl and a transport structure. The partitioned bowl is the partitioned structure that contains one or more doses of the smoking material. The transport structure forms a fluidic connection between the partitioned bowl and the hookah that transports the gas phase of the pharmacologically active media from the partitioned bowl to the hookah.

Abstract: A smoking device comprising a longitudinal shell with a cavity. A channel in the cavity of the longitudinal shell has a longitudinal shape and a peripheral wall, a top, a bottom. The peripheral wall, top, and bottom of the channel define a cavity. The top and bottom of the channel are substantially open. The cavity in the channel comprises a plate with a conductor material implemented on it. The conductor material is connected to an electrical power source. The conductor material generates heat when electrical current flows through it. The open top of the channel meets the outer surface of the shell, and the shell has an opening in its outer surface corresponding to the open top of the channel, thereby allowing ambient air to flow into the cavity in the channel. The peripheral wall of the channel is made of a ceramic material. When electrical current flows through the conductor material, it generates heat and heats air flowing through the cavity in the channel.

Abstract: A water pipe is made of ice from a flexible mold. The mold has a central main sheath to form a central smoke channel in the ice pipe. A core plug is placed in the central main sheath to prevent a collapse of the central main sheath during the freeze process. A bulkhead projects from the side of the mold which has a smoke channel therein. A smoke sheath intersects with the central main sheath to form a smoke channel from a bowl on the smoke channel inlet up the central smoke channel. The ice pipe is placed on a tray having an associated LED entertainment light so as to light up the ice pipe during use.
