  • Waterless vacuum based smoking apparatus
    Patent number: 10548345
    Abstract: A waterless vacuum based smoking apparatus utilizes vacuum created by translation of a cartridge within a chamber of a sheath body in order to accumulate within the chamber smoke or vapor from a combustible or vaporizable substance, which can then be expelled for inhalation by a user by reversing the translation of the cartridge within the chamber. Measurement and tracking functionalities are provided so that a user may accurately assess and monitor their intake.
