Abstract: A packing device for consumable materials comprising an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and springs. The outer sleeve and inner sleeve may matingly and telescopically engage with each other and the inner sleeve may be slideably moveable between a resting position and a compressed position. The inner sleeve may have (a) an interior chamber that is configured to engage with a cone and (b) a consumable material loading chamber. The springs may be configured to create a tension when the inner sleeve is slideably moved from the resting position to the compressed position by a user, such that the inner sleeve is slideably biased into the resting position when the inner sleeve is released by the user, such that when a consumable material is loaded into the consumable material loading chamber, the consumable material is packed into the cone.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a reconfigurable smoking pipe and a method of using the same for single handed operation. The reconfigurable smoking pipe comprises a base unit, a lighter holder, a bowl, a smoke chamber, a carburetor, a mouthpiece, and a plug. The base unit comprises multiple ports. The lighter holder is attached to the base unit. Each of the bowl, the smoke chamber, the carburetor, and the plug are detachably attached to any one of the ports of the base unit. A mouthpiece is detachably attached to anterior end of the smoke chamber. A user assembles the reconfigurable smoking pipe and inserts a lighter into the lighter holder. The user holds the reconfigurable smoking pipe in a smoking position using a single hand by gripping the inserted lighter and lights a smoking substance held in the bowl by operating the gripped lighter using the single hand.

Abstract: An improved smoking apparatus includes a bottle containing a fluid. The bottle has an upstanding neck with peripheral collar formed around the external periphery thereof. A stem has a base and a neck. The base defines an interior plenum, and a passage extends through the neck and terminates at the interior passage. A burner cup is mounted to the stem in communication with the passage. The interior plenum has a size and shape to permit the stem to be coupled to the bottle by placing the base over the neck, with a bottom edge of the base resting on the collar of the bottle. A sealing element is disposed between the exterior surface of the neck of the bottle and the inner surface of the interior plenum to provide a substantially air-tight coupling.

Abstract: A modular smoking apparatus includes a plenum having a substantially vertical dry smoke aperture and a wet smoke aperture disposed substantially parallel to the dry smoke aperture. An upper end of a down tube may be inserted into a lower end of the dry smoke aperture and a lower end of an intermediate tube may be inserted into an upper end of the dry smoke aperture. An upper end of the intermediate tube may be inserted into a the lower end of a burner. A lower end of the plenum may be inserted into an upper end of the base. The base may contain a fluid submerging a lower end of the down tube. The intermediate tube, the dry smoke aperture, and the down tube may form a conduit for dry smoke from the burner to the base, and the wet smoke aperture may form a conduit for wet smoke from the base to a hose.

Abstract: Nicotine in base or salt form combined with cosmetic ingredients to form a lip balm or similar stick. The stick is readily dispensed not only onto a person's lips but also may be used on the skin, for example on the wrist. Packaging the nicotine this way enables a smoker to obtain nicotine discretely anywhere in public, without offending others by smoking. Furthermore, the dosage is readily controlled, and the person's hands and mouth are active, similar to the lighting and smoking of a cigarette.

Abstract: A smoking pipe having a rectangular, metal bowl with a cylindrical bore within which is received an insert having at opposite ends concavities of differing volumes such that either a small or a large bowl cavity is provided for receipt of smoking material. The opposite end or bottom of the bore includes a threaded member forming a removable bottom to the bore for cleaning purposes. The outer end of the stem includes a soft material annulus with beveled outer end portions. Immediately above the stem, a shallow opening is formed in the side wall of the bowl for releasably holding the end of a hollow container for smoking materials. A cover is pivotally located over the open bowl top.

Abstract: A liquid filtered smoking device including a container having an opening, hollow at one end thereof, and having a liquid filtering medium therein, and a hollow, preferably cylindrical, tube, open at both ends, inserted through the peripheral wall of the container such that the lower end of the tube is immersed within the liquid filtering medium while the upper end of the tube projects outwardly from the container. A smoking bowl, having smoking tobacco deposited therein is secured upon the upper end of the tube and a filter is adapted to be inserted within the bowl in order to prevent tobacco ash and unburnt or partially burnt tobacco particles from passing through the tube and into the liquid filtering medium. The bowl may be either of the reversible or non-reversible type and the filter may be utilized in conjunction with both types of bowls.
