Embodiments of the presently disclosed invention relate generally to a smoking device. In an example embodiment, the smoking device can comprise an outer shell comprising a conduit having a conduit input end. The smoking device can further comprise a frame coupled to the outer shell, a top door pivotally connected to a top portion of the frame, a heating element positioned on a bottom surface of the top door, and a front door pivotally connected to the frame and the top door. The top door and the front door can be adapted to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The front door can further comprise a heating chamber configured to receive a combustible smoking substance and further configured to be positioned above the conduit input end when the top door and the front door are in a closed configuration. Further, when the smoking device is in the closed configuration, the heating element can be positioned above the combustible substance, such that the heating element can be configured to heat the combustible smoking substance from above.

An exothermal vaporizer is provided. The exothermal vaporizer has a body including an air and vapor mix port, a fluid inlet port in communication with a reservoir, an air inlet, and a wicking material. A mouthpiece is coupled to the body and a temperature indicating cap is removable from the body. A counter flow design exothermal vaporizer, a modular exothermal vaporizer, and a vaporizer which is adjustable to modulate and/or regulate the flow ratio of dilution air and produced vapor are also disclosed.

A smoking article for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the article includes a body of smokable material and a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a cooling segment of between 20 mm and 30 mm in length for cooling the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material, a filter segment adjacent to the cooling segment for filtering the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material and a mouth end segment adjacent to the filter segment for being received in a mouth of a user. The cooling segment is located between the body of smokable material and the filter segment.

A smoking article for insertion into an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the smoking article including a body of smokable material and a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a cooling segment, a filter segment adjacent to the cooling segment and a mouth end segment adjacent to the filter segment for being received in a mouth of a user. The smoking article is arranged so that when the smoking article is fully inserted into the apparatus a first section of the cooling segment is within the apparatus and a second section of the cooling segment extends outside of the apparatus. The second section of the cooling segment includes a ventilation region to enable air to pass into the cooling segment to mix with the volatilized at least one component of the smokable material.

An exothermal vaporizer is provided. The exothermal vaporizer has a body including an air and vapor mix port, a fluid inlet port in communication with a reservoir, an air inlet, and a wicking material. A mouthpiece is coupled to the body and a temperature indicating cap is removable from the body. A counter flow design exothermal vaporizer, a modular exothermal vaporizer, and a vaporizer which is adjustable to modulate and/or regulate the flow ratio of dilution air and produced vapor are also disclosed.

A water pipe can include a bottom plate with upwardly extending first and second side walls, a back wall and a removable front wall. When assembled, the bottom plate and walls form a reservoir for containing a volume of liquid. The side and back walls have channels formed in their interior surfaces for installation of porous inserts effecting filtration of vapor drawn through the inserts. The distal end of a vapor introducing tube extends through a side wall into the reservoir, while a proximal end of the vapor introducing tube extends into the exterior environment. A top plate seals an interior volume formed by the bottom plate and the walls extending upwardly therefrom. The top plate has an upwardly extending mouthpiece. Upon introduction of a source of inhalable vapor at the proximal end of the vapor introducing tube, a negative pressure is drawn from the mouthpiece to induce the vapor to travel through the reservoir and through the porous inserts. Removal of the front wall of the water pipe exposes the interior surfaces of the first side wall, the second side wall and the back wall, whereby deposits on the interior surfaces can be readily accessed and removed.

A smoking apparatus is provided. The smoking apparatus includes an organic leafy material receptacle configured to receive organic leafy material for ignition, a chamber connected to the organic leafy material receptacle by a connection tube, the chamber comprising a circulating tube configured to receive smoke from the organic leafy material receptacle via the connection tube, and at least one cooling element contacting the circulating tube, the at least one cooling element selected from the group consisting of electric cooling hardware, magnetic cooling hardware, and anhydrous cooling material contacting the circulating tube, and an inhalation tube connected to the chamber and configured to receive cooled smoke from the circulating tube. A user inhaling from the inhalation tube draws smoke from the organic leafy material receptacle to the circulating tube in the chamber to the inhalation tube and to the user.
