Abstract: A system for generating and inhaling vapor of herbs includes a container, a base, a mouth, and an upper surface. An aperture in the surface displaced from a lip of the mouth. The container shown partially filled with water, and a diffuser positioned upon the water. The region within the container above the diffuser defines a vapor chamber. A diagonally-oriented tube includes upper and lower end secured within the aperture. Herbs are placed in an upper end of an herb-burning bowl and a lower end of the bowl having a filter limiting debris from entering the water. An inhalation cylinder having upper end attachable within an open mouth. A vacuum pump includes vacuum input from cylinder and positive pressure output about a level of the vacuum input. The pump providing pressure from bottom to top of the inhalation cylinder and the water surface diffuser to the mouth.

Abstract: A system for efficiently generating and inhaling vapor of herbs and incense including a hollow container having a stable base and an open mouth in an upper surface of the container, the container having an aperture in the surface, the aperture displaced from a lip of the open mouth, the container partially filled with water. Also provided is a circular diffusion element positioned upon a surface of water within the container, a region within the container above the diffusion element defining a vapor collection chamber. Further provided is a diagonally-oriented tube having an upper and a lower end, the tube secured within the aperture, the upper end defining an herb-burning bowl within which are placed herbs to be burned, the lower end having a filter, the lower end immersed in the water, the filter permitting vapor to escape into the water but limiting escape into the water of larger herbal debris of the herb-burning bowl.
