Description
BACKGROUND

This disclosure relates generally to a smoking device assembly and more particularly to a modular smoking device assembly for smoking marijuana or medical marijuana to provide an improved smoking experience.

Smoking of organic materials such as marijuana is accomplished by inhaling smoke from a pipe, a water pipe, or a bong. Since smoke is being inhaled into the lungs, this has been found to be hot and irritating. In order to counteract this harshness of the smoke it is necessary to temper the smoke by using water, air, or ice prior to the smoke being inhaled. One way to accomplish this is to use a water pipe. The water pipe consists of a mouthpiece, a water chamber, and a bowl in which the marijuana is burned. A burning bowl is connected to the housing for introducing smoke into the water chamber. A mouthpiece communicates with the water chamber for drawing smoke from the burning bowl through the water chamber. As the smoke travels through the water, it tends to be cleaned of ash and certain other contaminants, and may be cooled slightly to render it more suitable for inhaling.

Although water pipes and bongs are useful, it is still found that the smoke generated by these devices remains harsh and there is a need to temper the smoke even further. For example, steam is produced by drawing the smoke through a liquid medium. The steam is hot and this decreases the pleasure. In essence, there is still a need for a smoking device that increases the cooling of the smoke prior to the smoke being inhaled by an individual. It would also be advantageous to provide a smoking device that does not require increased draw strength when using the smoking device.

The present disclosure is designed to obviate and overcome many of the disadvantages and shortcomings experienced with prior smoking devices. Particularly, it would be advantageous to be able to have a modular smoking device having interchangeable modules that may be rearranged for a customized smoking experience. Moreover, the present disclosure is related to a modular smoking device having modules that may be disassembled for easy cleaning of the device. Further, it would be desirable to have a modular smoking device that is relatively simple and inexpensive which will provide a desirably effective filtering action, which will require minimal draw strength to operate, and will cool the smoke for a more enjoyable experience.
