Abstract: A hookah including a glass tube and a push rod. The bottom end of the push rod is disposed in the glass tube and is movable in the inner wall of the glass tube when being pushed by force. The tobacco material is loaded in the glass tube and between the bottom end of the push rod and the opening of the glass tube; and smoke produced by the atomization of the tobacco material flows in an air passage of the push rod.

Abstract: A screen adapter device supports a screen member relative to a smoke inlet tube of a water pipe that has a water container coupled between a drawtube and the smoke inlet tube. The screen adapter device has an adapter plate with a screen aperture supporting the screen member releasably therein. The adapter plate has an outer diameter which is greater than an inner diameter of the smoke inlet tube to be supported spanning across the inlet end of the smoke inlet tube. The device is easily disassembled for ease of cleaning or replacing the screen. Optionally, a resilient support body is joined to the adapter plate assists in securing the adapter plate on the smoke inlet tube.

Abstract: A tobacco feeding device incudes a glass tube, a push rod, and a piston. The piston is movable along the inner wall of the glass tube. The push rod includes an air passage. The glass tube includes a feeding inlet. When the piston moves along the inner wall of the glass tube, a gap between the feeding inlet and the piston is exposed and a tobacco material is added to the tobacco feeding device. When in use, smoke produced by the tobacco material circulates in the air passage.

Abstract: A capsule for a heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating device may include a base of a thermally-conductive material, the base defining a first cavity therein, the base including a first surface, the first surface defining an opening to a second cavity, the first surface including a first plurality of apertures through the first surface. The capsule may further include a cover coupled to the base and on the base, the cover including a second plurality of apertures in a middle portion of the cover, the first plurality of apertures and the second plurality of apertures defining an air flow path through the base and the cover.

Abstract: A smoking device which permits combustion and inhalation of smoking material without also inhaling gases from a source of combustion such as lighter. The smoking device has a main body with a lower end adapted to connect to an overall smoking system. A lower portion of the main body defines internal flow channels, while an upper portion defines a smoking chamber therein. A burn plate or disc is clamped against an inner ledge in the lower end of the smoking chamber which is enclosed by a lid having an air inlet. The smoking chamber may house a manifold member which clamps the burn plate against an inner ledge. A user places smoking material on the burn plate and closes the smoking chamber with the lid. While applying a lighter flame directed into the lateral throughbore to the underside of the burn plate, the user applies suction to the lower inhalation passageway which pulls air in through the air inlet in the lid.

Abstract: A brass smoking pipe is modified with numerous improvements. It is nickel-brass plated to prevent tarnishing. The draft holes are enlarged from the standard 1/16? to 3/32? diameter and drilled at an angle. The tar trap is drilled into a new deep-dish configuration. These modifications improve the pipe's draw. A titanium or quartz crystal retaining rod is provided, both to store multiple quartz crystal bowls in the storage canister and to serve as a domeless nail, converting an herb pipe to a concentrate pipe. A push nut holds quartz crystal bowls on the retaining rod. An oversized poker, available in brass, titanium, or glass, holds the tar trap in place and removes the tar trap for cleaning. The poker may be fitted with an easy-pull grip nut or a removal tool to remove the retaining rod and quartz crystal bowls from the storage canister.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for supporting smoking products and ash in a smoking pipe to prevent smoking products and ash from passing from the bowl into an inner pipe chamber.

Abstract: A portable multifunctional smoking utensil holder and kit is disclosed that may include a holder for smoking utensils that includes a lower portion; and an upper portion that is pivotably attached to the lower portion, wherein the lower portion includes a first compartment that is configured to slidably and removably receive a pipe therein for storing the pipe; a second compartment that is configured to store a leafy substance therein; and a third compartment that is open to the second compartment, the third compartment including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion configured to slidably receive the pipe therein, the second portion including a grinding mechanism that is configured to transfer and grind substances from the second compartment into the third compartment when the grinding mechanism is actuated.

Abstract: A vaporizer, including a removable panel; and a main body assembly such that the removable panel is removably attached to the main body assembly, wherein the main body assembly is further comprised of; a crucible/pan assembly having a first side and a second side such that a material to be vaporized is located within the first side of the crucible/pan assembly, an induction heater having a first side and a second side such that the first side of the induction heater is located adjacent to the second side of the crucible/pan assembly for induction heating of the crucible/pan assembly which in turn vaporizes the material to be vaporized located within the first side of the crucible/pan assembly, a removable battery assembly located adjacent to the second side of the induction heater, an electronics assembly operatively connected to the battery and the induction heater, and an interchangeable mouthpiece assembly operatively attached to the crucible/pan assembly for allowing vapors from the material to be vaporiz

Abstract: An igniter for an incendiary briquette of a type suitable for smoking a smoking substance disposed in a bowl of a hookah is disclosed. The igniter includes a housing defining an interior and having a sidewall, a bottom wall, and a top opening providing access to the interior. An ignition source that produces a flame is disposed in the interior of the housing. The igniter includes a removable tray for supporting the incendiary briquette. The tray has at least one heat transfer hole therein and is sized to be removably supported by the housing at a location above the flame of the ignition source, wherein heat flows upwardly to cause a burning of the incendiary briquette. The tray is sized to seat above the bowl of the hookah so that the burning briquette is supported to cause a burning of the smoking substance.

Abstract: Smoking apparatus comprising a tubular chimney having a cylindrical interior open at both ends and in which a charge of smoking material may be placed. A conduit may be provided in fluid communication with the chimney and an air inlet. Smoke from the burning of said smoking material entrained with air from the air inlet through the conduit may be drawn through the conduit by the smoker. A plunger engages the cylindrical interior of the chimney and is reciprocally movable relative thereto for displacing burned smoking material from the chimney.

Abstract: A pipe for smoking tobacco with a separate storage compartment for additional tobacco, this compartment being formed as an integral portion of the pipe structure, and a tobacco burning bowl which is selectively positionable between a first smoking position and second tobacco loading position.

Abstract: A bowl for holding a charge of smoking substance in a water pipe and composed of a housing provided with a through bore defining a smoke passage and a movable member defining the base of a cavity for holding the smoking substance and movable between a first position in which it presents a surface for supporting the charge of smoking substance while permitting smoke and air to pass through the bore, and a second position in which it presents a passage for the fall of ashes and debris from the cavity. The water pipe vessel is provided with thermal insulation to keep the water warm. The tube for delivering smoke into the water can end in an extension which projects into the water and has a plurality of openings to establish a large area of contact between the smoke and the water.
