[0033] As provided within FIG. S, step 500, the process begins with the provision of a portable smoking apparatus. In a non-limiting example, the apparatus integrates smoking essentials into a single unit. It combines storage and ignition, facilitating portability and case of use.

[0034] Step 500 involves providing a plastic component that consolidates multiple items into a single unit. This component is crafted from a single piece of plastic and is tailored to accommodate two standard doob tubes and one lighter. The design of this component ensures that the doob tubes are held side-by-side and that the lighter is secured around its cylindrical chimney 103. The fitment for the doob tubes is precise, allowing them to be held firmly to prevent accidental dislodgement while also permitting easy removal by the user. The lighter is positioned in such a way that it can be rotated about the axis of the chimney 103, facilitating its use without detaching it from the plastic component.

[0035] Step 500 further specifies the nature of the plastic component, reinforcing that it is a singular piece of plastic structured for integration with the two doob tubes and the lighter. This sub-step does not introduce additional specifications but rather underscores the intentional design of the plastic component to ensure compatibility and ease of interaction with the specified items.

[0036] The process for Step 500 would involve the utilization of design software to draft the blueprint of the plastic component, followed by manufacturing techniques such as injection molding to fabricate the component. The teams responsible for design and manufacturing are tasked with ensuring that the plastic component adheres to the necessary specifications to fulfill its function of consolidating the storage and ignition components into a single, portable device. The goal is to create a product that simplifies the user experience by amalgamating the essential elements into one easily transportable item.

[0037] Step 502 involves the process of securing two storage tubes within a plastic component. This step requires the plastic component to have a design that allows the tubes to be held in place without the risk of accidental dislodgement. The mechanism accommodates various items within at least three integrated storage compartments. The plastic component for storage must exert an appropriate amount of pressure on the tubes to maintain a sfficient force to hold the tubes in place. The design must also allow for the tubes to be removed by the user when desired, necessitating a balance between the retention force and the ease of removal.

[0038] Step 504 incorporates the storage tubes utilized for storing materials, the tubes are made from a material that does not interact with the contents. The plastic component accommodates two tubes of a connecting element in a parallel configuration, which involves a dual cavity or slot design.

[0039] Step 506 addresses the removal of the storage tubes from the plastic component. This process should be achievable without the need for excessive force or additional tools. The design may incorporate features such as tabs or ridges that the user can engage to release the tubes. In essence, step 506 and its sub-steps describe the integration of the storage tubes with the plastic component, focusing on the retention and removal of the tubes as well as access and security for the stored material. The process includes designing the retention mechanism, ensuring compatibility of materials, arranging the tubes in a parallel manner, and enabling the user to remove the tubes as needed.

[0040] Step 508 involves the storage device having distinct features including opposite ends, a larger open end, and smaller closed end to securely store material. At step 508, the user can secure a lighter within a second plastic component of a smoking apparatus. The lighter serves as the ignition source and is designed to be held in place while allowing for fictional rotation and use. The lighter provides the necessary flame for the apparatus. The lighter, when activated, generates a flame that is used to ignite smoking material. The lighter can be rotated about the axis of the chimney. This rotation is facilitated by the design of the plastic component, which allows the lighter to be positioned at an angle that is convenient for the user to light their material.

[0041] Step 510 involves the user rotating the lighter about the axis of the chimney. This rotation is a manual action performed by the user to achieve the desired angle for ignition. Once the user removes selected material from the storage tubes, the user will light the material by rotating the lighter to a desired angle.

[0042] At step 512, the storage device can transported to various locations in convenient manner. The user will utilize the portable apparatus without difficulty.

[0043] Finally at step 514, the storage device will be utilized by users as a compact apparatus by allowing all compartments and lighter to be integrated in a single device while in use.
