Disclosed is a novel single dose smoking device that provides advancement to the traditional pipe bowl design, and these advancements translate exceedingly well to the unique applications of an expanding smokers market, where discerning smokers are increasingly refining their preferences. More specifically, the single dose smoking device includes a stem with a first end and a second end, and a bowl with a draw end and pack end. The stem and bowl are formed from an organic or inorganic material with a draw end and pack end. The draw end includes a hole or series of holes therethrough for allowing gases to pass therebetween.

A vial for packing a substance to be smoked from the vial and a method of manufacturing the vial, the method of manufacturing including providing a glass vial, the glass vial having a first end portion and a second end portion connected by a tubular portion having a hollow interior, the first end portion being open and the second end portion being closed; applying heat to a section of the tubular portion to heat the section of the tubular portion; applying a pressure around the heated section of the tubular portion to collapse the section of the tubular portion into the hollow interior of the tubular portion; pressing the first end portion and the second end portion together until an exterior surface of the tubular portion surrounding the collapsed section is level with a remaining exterior surface of the tubular portion; and forming an opening in the second end portion.

A waterless vacuum based smoking apparatus utilizes vacuum created by translation of a cartridge within a chamber of a sheath body in order to accumulate within the chamber smoke or vapor from a combustible or vaporizable substance, which can then be expelled for inhalation by a user by reversing the translation of the cartridge within the chamber. Measurement and tracking functionalities are provided so that a user may accurately assess and monitor their intake.

A smoking device can include a tube with an axis, a proximal end, a distal end and a restriction located between the proximal and distal ends. A combustion space is located axially inside the tube between the restriction and the distal end. The combustion space can contain a combustion product. In addition, a sleeve can be removably mounted to an exterior of the tube. The sleeve can be formed from an elastic material and have a storage configuration that can completely encapsulate both the proximal end and the distal end of the tube to seal the tube. The sleeve also can have a use configuration mounted to the proximal end of the tube, and removed from the distal end of the tube to allow air flow through the tube and the sleeve.

A reusable multiple dose smoking appliance includes a cover and a base that removeably cooperate with a receptacle. The receptacle defines at least one reservoir configured to contain a volume of a smokeable media and at least one primary smoke channel. Cooperation of the base and receptacle define a secondary smoke channel that is in fluid communication with the primary smoke channel. An aperture is defined by the cover and is oriented to selectively expose and obstruct the smokeable content reservoir. When the reservoir is exposed to atmosphere and a combustion source is disposed proximate thereto, user inhalation effectuates combustion of the smokeable media such that the fire effluent or smoke is communicated to the user via the primary and secondary smoke channels.
