Abstract: A vape cleaning device for easily and thoroughly cleaning vape coils for reuse and avoiding the need for frequent replacement. The device has a base enclosing a fan oriented to direct air upwardly, a heat block suspended above the fan, a heating element coupled to the heat block, and a shield coupled to the base and having a central opening. A cup is removably positioned in the central opening of the shield and in contact with the heat block to be heated thereby. A vape coil holder may removably suspended in the cup that the vape coil is submerged in a cleaning fluid in the cup. After the cup has been warmed to a predetermined temperature for a cleaning cycle, the cup may be removed and the vape coil holder suspended from the shield. The fan may then be operated for a predetermined time period for a drying cycle.

Abstract: An apparatus for smoking combustible material can include a glass tube having an axis and open ends. The apparatus can have a rod axially coupled to the glass tube. In addition, a grommet formed from an elastic material can be included. Examples of the grommet can have a tube end to axially receive the glass tube in an interior of the grommet. A shoulder can be located in the interior of the grommet to abut one of the open ends of the glass tube. The grommet can further include a rod end to receive and frictionally engage a portion of the rod and permit relative motion between the rod and the grommet. In addition, the grommet can have an external annular recess located between the tube end and the rod end.

Abstract: A hookah accessory comprising a motor driven vacuum secured in a housing, vacuum port, filter between the vacuum port and vacuum used to apply a suction force used to ignite and start a hookah, blower port in pneumatic communication with the output/return port of the vacuum to provide a blow force used to clean hoses, switches in the vacuum and air pressure ports to automatically turn on the accessory when inserting a hose, rheostat for adjusting the vacuum suction force, insulated oven having a burner assembly for heating charcoal or other agents used in the hookah and charcoal filter for filtering emissions from the charcoal or heated agent. The invention may have fixed resistors in series with the switches for setting the vacuum at two constant speeds for a set suction force and set air pressure force. The invention may include a basket for placement in the oven.

Abstract: A device to process cigarette butts has top and bottoms sections, one pivotably mounted on the other for rocking movement between open and closed positions. The bottom section has two access holes which are opened and closed by the rocking movement. When the holes are open, a user can insert a butt into one access hole and then can rock the top section, thus cutting the butt into a filter tip, and tobacco and paper materials. The tobacco and paper materials fall through a passage from the one access hole to the ground but do not cause a litter problem since they quickly biodegrade. The filter tips can be inserted into the second access hole into a storage space for later treatment and disposal. The bottom section has a thinned rear portion which allows increased rocking amplitude while minimizing the device thickness.

Abstract: A hookah accessory comprising a motor driven vacuum secured in a housing, vacuum port, filter between the vacuum port and vacuum used to apply a suction force used to ignite and start a hookah, blower port in pneumatic communication with the output/return port of the vacuum to provide a blow force used to clean hoses, switches in the vacuum and air pressure ports to automatically turn on the accessory when inserting a hose and fixed resistors in series with the switches for setting the vacuum at two constant speeds for a set suction force and set air pressure force. Alternatively, the accessory may have a variable resistor (rheostat) to adjust the speed of the motor, which adjusts the suction and blowing forces. The filter is in line with the vacuum port and vacuum to capture debris before it reaches the vacuum or vacuum motor. The vacuum and blower ports securely receive and hold different sized hoses and, or hose tips in a manner that creates a substantial airtight seal.

Abstract: A brush cleaning unit for a heater fixture of a smoking device includes a holder such as a tube wherein the heater fixture can be washed with a liquid by a movable brush. The tube can include first and second ends, a portion of a key for cooperating with a corresponding portion of the key on the heater fixture for orienting the heater fixture, and an arrangement for preventing the brush from rotating. The brush can be arranged to be axially movable relative to the tube and the heater fixture attached thereto.

Abstract: A brush cleaning unit for a heater fixture of a smoking device includes a tube having a first end and a second end, the tube including a portion of a key for cooperating with a corresponding portion of the key on a heater fixture for attaching and orienting the heater fixture relative to the tube. The brush cleaning unit also includes a brush attached to the tube. The brush is axially movable relative to the tube and the heater fixture attached thereto. The brush is non-rotatable relative to the tube. A method for cleaning a heater fixture is also disclosed.

Abstract: A cleaning unit used to clean condensates formed during use of a component of a smoking system. The component can be a heating fixture having a cigarette receiving section and a plurality of longitudinally extending circumferentially spaced apart heating elements located within a can which accumulates the condensates. During a cleaning operation, the heating fixture is fitted within a cavity in the cleaning unit such that the cigarette receiving end of the heating fixture engages an O-ring and the terminal base portion abuts against an indented stop in an interior sidewall of a removable portion of the housing. The cleaning unit includes a water inlet connected to a source of pressurized water such as a faucet and a spray member extends into the cigarette receiving section to spray jets of water against the interior of the can.

Abstract: A tobacco pipe holder and dryer comprises a hollow housing having a cylindrical base portion and an upper portion opening from the base portion extending upward and flared outward therefrom and having around its upper periphery a plurality of downwardly directed nozzle outlets. A plurality of radially extending support members are pivotally supported on said housing and aligned with said nozzle outlets. A cup shaped supporting member is pivotally supported on the outer end of each of said support members and is movable into and out of juxtaposition to said nozzle outlets for supporting a pipe bowl with a nozzle outlet positioned therein. The apparatus includes springs urging each of said pivotal support members toward said nozzle outlets. The housing base portion has one or more air inlet openings, preferably louvered openings, and encloses a blower and an electric motor for operating the same. An electric heater is positioned in the housing above the blower for heating air circulating to said nozzle outlets.
