A heating cup includes a container, an air vent, a metal conductor, and a cup body. The metal conductor is inlaid in the container. The container includes a side wall and the air vent is disposed on the side wall to allow air and smoke to pass through. The container is disposed in the cup body and is configured to accommodate a tobacco material.

Devices for generating and releasing vapor. In particular, described herein are portable devices for generating a low-temperature inhalable vapor having an elongated tubular body containing a vaporization chamber and a battery-powered heater, a removable mouthpiece covering the vaporization chamber, a display configured to indicate the temperature of the vaporization chamber; a microcontroller configured to regulate the temperature of the vaporization chamber, and a control to select from among a variety of temperature settings.

A bowl device for a water pipe includes a metallic main body member that is defined by a combustion chamber, a throat and an exhaust chamber. The combustion chamber includes an open top end, an open bottom end, and a funnel-shaped inside wall. The inside wall includes a rough textured surface that functions to retain residue from burned smoking materials to form a patina over time. The throat comprises a hollow channel that extends downward from the bottom of the combustion chamber to the open top end of the exhaust chamber. The exhaust chamber includes an open bottom end, and an inside wall having a funnel-shaped portion that is oriented opposite to the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber, exhaust chamber and throat forming a venturi chamber for moving smoke into the downstem of a glass water pipe, and an O-ring provides an airtight seal between the device and the downstem.

A smoking apparatus or water pipe comprised of one or more hollow or tubular section openings connected by a butt seal. The butt seal is formed by affixing a ring magnet to the exit opening of one section and affixing a second ring magnet the entrance opening of a second section. When the sections are joined, the ring magnets form a watertight and airtight seal between the two openings such that the need for a flange or other similar structure and or additional seal is unnecessary to maintain the integrity of the joint. A second embodiment employs interconnect assemblies inserted into select ends of the glass fixtures in order to seal thereto with gaskets/sealing rings and to provide a flush face within which is embedded a ring magnet for magnetically interconnecting adjacent glass members.

A heating cup, including a heating container configured to be heated by a high frequency heating unit. When in use, the high frequency heating unit is disposed around the heating container; in a power-on state, the heating container is configured to produce heat under the action of the high frequency heating unit to heat a tobacco material and produce smoke.
