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 hookah, includes a cup assembly and a high frequency heating unit detachably connected to the cup assembly. The cup assembly includes a cup configured to accommodate a tobacco material. The high frequency heating unit includes a hollow handle and a magnetic induction coil disposed in the hollow handle. The hollow handle includes a through hole and the magnetic induction coil includes a central hole concentric with the through hole. The cup is disposed in the through hole of the hollow handle. When in use, an alternating current is introduced to the magnetic induction coil, and a magnetic induction effect is generated, so that the cup is heated and the heat is transferred to the tobacco material whereby the tobacco material is heated and smoke is produced.

A cigar shaped pipe, ideally made from premium materials such as briar, yet designed to be low cost to manufacture. The device uses a comparatively thin-walled combustion chamber, which both keeps material costs to a minimum, as well as an in-line reverse Calabash chamber to reduce the temperature and moisture of the smoke. In some embodiments, the pipe will further use an end cap, ether for pipe storage or during smoking. This optional end-cap will ideally be made of the same materials as the main pipe body, and thus will have similar thermal expansion properties, as well as having the same beneficial combustion chamber properties. This end cap may utilize O-rings or screw threads to hold the pipe's end cap onto position, thus enabling easy loading and cleaning.

Described is a retrofitting smoking adapter for use in conjunction with a liquid holding vessel with an opening to convert said vessel into a water bong smoking device. The adapter includes a plurality of apertures extending through the body that interact sealingly with various components including one or a plurality of mouthpieces, bowls, plugs, vaporizers or combination thereof. There is also a flexing skirt feature that interacts sealingly with the opening of the liquid holding vessel as to allow for the controlled flow of smoke, vapor or air or combination thereof to enter or exit said vessel via one or a plurality of said apertures that make up the smoking adapter when a user or plurality thereof inhales and draws on the mouthpiece or plurality thereof. The retrofitting smoking adapter described, when used in conjunction with some or all of the above components may be used by one or multiple users to smoke combustible materials.

A smoking assembly includes a pipe that has an elongated section and an elbow section. The elbow section forms an angle with respect to the elongated section. Each of the elongated section and the elbow section is substantially hollow to have air drawn therethrough. The pipe is comprised of a rigid material. The rigid material is copper. A plurality of inserts is each removably positionable within the elbow section to retain a smoking article within the elbow section. The smoking article extends upwardly from the elbow section. Each of the plurality of inserts has a unique size with respect to each other to retain smoking articles of various sizes. A cap is removably coupled to the elbow section to retain the insert within the elbow section. A lid is positionable over the smoking article to extinguish the smoking article.

A waterpipe system is described and includes a vessel having a round bottom, a first port member extending upwardly at an angle away from an upper portion of the vessel and a second port member spaced apart from the first port member, wherein the second port member extends vertically upwardly away from the upper portion of the vessel, and an optional stand system including a bottom member, a top member, and at least one leg member interconnecting the bottom and top members, wherein the top member includes an area defining an aperture formed in a central portion thereof, wherein the round bottom of the vessel is operable to rest upon a surface of the bottom member, wherein the second port member is operable to be received through the aperture such that an upper portion of the second port member extends above an upper surface of the top member.

An ice cube for use in a water pipe with an ice catch may present a plurality of bores formed within the bulk of the ice cube. These bores will then allow smoke from a smokable substance to pass through the bulk of the ice cube and enhance the cooling effect of the ice cube on the smoke. The bores may be interconnected by one or more tranches at a bottom surface of the ice cube such that fluid communication is maintained between the bores, in the event the bottom of the ice cube is partially impinged upon by another ice cube or other obstruction. A mold for making such a cube may be accomplished by having a plurality of rods extend from a bottom of the mold and providing appropriate ridges to form the trenches.
