Disclosed is a universal smoking device, system, and methods of manufacture and/or use thereof. In some aspects, a universal smoking device includes a lighter comprising a body, an igniter coupled to the body and operable to create an ignition event of a smokeable substance, and a first compartment coupled to and encompassed within the body to store an energy source to be provided to the igniter; a smoking vessel comprising a pipe having an interior chamber between a first aperture and a second aperture; a second compartment coupled to the body of the lighter and configured to store and provide the smoking vessel; and a third compartment coupled to the body of the lighter and configured to store a smokeable substance and provide a structure to prepare and/or load the smokeable substance in the smoking vessel.

An electric arc lighter having a handheld body with a pair of spaced-apart electrodes supported on an exterior of the body. The electrodes carrying electrical current through a gas between the physically separated electrodes and forming an electrical arc. A voltage source in the body and electrically connected to the electrodes to form a voltage therebetween form the electrical arc. The electric arc lighter features a receptacle receiving a supply of combustible material. A passageway through the body of the lighter receives the combustible material from the supply and guides the combustible material for delivery to the electrodes and into a path of the electrical arc. A feeding mechanism feeds the combustible material from the supply and through the passageway for ignition by the electrical arc to form a flame.

A pilot burner assembly includes a grounded conduit defining one or more first fluid inlets for receiving a first fluid, and a main outlet. The assembly further includes a conductive conduit extending within the grounded conduit such that an annular chamber is formed therebetween, the conductive conduit defining a second fluid inlet for receiving a second fluid, and one or more second fluid outlets for discharging the second fluid into the annular chamber such that the first and second fluids mix in the annular chamber to form a combustible mixture. Moreover, the assembly includes an igniter tip electrically connected to the conductive conduit and arranged adjacent to the one or more second fluid outlets, wherein the igniter tip is spaced from the grounded conduit such that an electrical current applied to the igniter tip generates a spark between the igniter tip and the grounded conduit for igniting the combustible mixture.
