Abstract: A smoking device comprising a longitudinal shell with a first cavity. A channel in said first cavity has a longitudinal shape and a peripheral wall, a top, a bottom defining a second cavity. The top and bottom of the channel are substantially open. Said first cavity comprises a compound member with an electrically conductive winding. 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 said second cavity. When electrical current flows through the winding, the compound member generates heat and heats air flowing through said second cavity. Air flows through longitudinal holes inside the compound member, through grooves in the exterior of the compound member, air and passes through and heats the smoking material.

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.
