A method of manufacturing a tip for use with smokable substances. A tube is rotated while applying heat to a section of the tube (step 1). The tube is pulled apart to separate the tube into two sections, each section having a closed end (step 2). Heat is applied to the closed end of one section in a direction to cause it to open (step 3), and then heat is applied in a second direction to the end (step 4). A plug is inserted into the end and a roller is used to form an opening with a flat external surface (step 5). Heat is applied, and the ends are pulled apart to separate the section into two parts (step 7). While continuing to apply heat, air is injected into the opened end to form a tip having openings at its two ends connected by an open chamber (step 8).

Devices and methods for pre-rolled smoking tubes are described herein. The devices include a tube configured to roll a smoking tube. The tube includes a distal end having a distal opening, a proximal end spaced from the distal end along a central axis, the proximal end having at least one or a plurality of customizable proximal openings that regulate airflow in the tube, and a lumen that extends from the distal opening to the at least one proximal opening along the central axis. This configuration allows the creation of differing airflow patterns in the tube, reduced waste of desired materials during the manufacturing of filled smoking tubes, and reduced charred materials entering a user's oral cavity. The device may also be used, in whole or in part, as a mandrel during the manufacturing of pre-rolled tubes via an automated, semi-automated, or manual processes.

A method of manufacturing a tip for use with smokable substances. A tube is rotated while applying heat in a horizontal and vertical direction to an end of the tube. The heated end is squeezed with rollers and while a rotating t-shaped plug is inserted into the heated end of the tube. The rollers and t-shaped plug are removed and a scoring wheel is applied to the tube to create a scratch. Then heat is applied to the scratch. An end of the tube is clamped with a rotating chuck and water is sprayed at the scratch to create a thermal shock which separates the tube into two pieces. Heat is applied to a section of one end of the pieces. Tapered rollers are applied to the heated section to taper a diameter of the piece along the heated section.

A method of manufacturing a tip for use with smokeable substances. A tube is rotated while applying heat to a section. The heated section is squeezed with tapered rollers and a pivoting rod is inserted. The rollers and rod are removed and heat is again applied. The heated portion is squeezed a second time with the tapered rollers and the rod is reinserted. The rollers and rod are removed and heat is again applied. The heated portion is again squeezed with the tapered rollers and the pivoting rod is again reinserted. The rollers and rod are removed and heat is applied to the end of the tube. The tube is scored above the end to form a scored line. Heat is applied to the scored line. Water is sprayed onto the scored line to split the tube into two pieces. Heat is applied to the tube at the split end.

The present disclosure describes a flavor element configured for providing flavor to a user of an electronic vaporizer, along with nicotine reduction methods. The flavor element includes a flavor material configured to provide the flavor and is configured to attach to the electronic vaporizer. When attached to the electronic vaporizer and during inhalation by the user using the electronic vaporizer, the flavor element is configured to provide the flavor to the user in parallel with an inhalable aerosol provided by the electronic vaporizer. The inhalable aerosol is provided by the electronic vaporizer by at least partially vaporizing a vaporizable substance via a vapor element. The flavor provided via the flavor material is separate from the vaporizable substance.

An insert for use with a smokable (e.g., such as a pre-rolled or empty cone) with one or more internal cavities for securing flavor releasing mechanism(s) (e.g., flavored “click balls”) is provided. The insert with internal cavities may be provided as a standalone item for use in pre-rolling and/or hand rolling a cone or cigarette. The insert may include a section of smokable material such as paper including a horizontal aperture and vertical fold lines towards one end. The fold lines may be folded back and forth to form an accordion shaped cavity into which the flavor releasing mechanisms may be inserted and held secure. The insert may then be rolled into a tubular shape and coupled with a smokable to serve as the smokable's mouthpiece.
