Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for heat and air regulation in a smoking device. The systems and methods presented herein are applicable to smoking bowls for hookahs and other smoking devices. In some embodiments, an airflow and heat regulation apparatus is presented, comprising a bowl stem or cylinder, with an open upper end and an open lower end and a heating chamber capable of holding heatable matter or other receptacles between the open upper end and open lower end; and a removable lid sealably coupled to the upper end of the stem or cylinder via a lid connection end, the removable lid including an extended rim protruding outwards from the removable lid to beyond the outer edges of the upper end of the stem or cylinder.

Abstract: A side heat bowl for use with a hookah comprising a first receptacle having an interior portion capable of holding a first material to be smoked and a second receptacle having an interior portion capable of holding a second material for providing a heat source for heating the first predetermined material. At least a portion of the sidewall portion of the second receptacle surrounds at least a portion of the sidewall portion of the first receptacle. A plurality of apertures extending through the sidewall of the first receptacle is provided for transferring heat from the heat source to the material to be smoked. At least one aperture is disposed on the bottom portion of the first receptacle for providing fluid communication between the first predetermined material and the hookah.

At least one aperture is disposed on the bottom portion of the first receptacle for providing fluid communication between the first predetermined material and the hookah. This inventive side heat hookah bowl results in a much cleaner, crisper, and purer smoke without the taste of aluminum foil, charcoal, and other materials the separate the tobacco from the heat.
