1. A portable hand-held low-temperature vaporization smoking device, comprising:
- an elongated tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end having a mouthpiece and the distal end is adapted for attachment to a tubular casing, the tubular body further comprises an air inlet for entry of fresh air and an inhalation passage which is in communication with the proximal end and the distal end for releasing vapor into the mouth of a user;
the tubular casing removeably secured to the mouthpiece at the distal end thereby forming an airtight connection;
a heater formed of a thermally conductive shell disposed in the tubular casing and comprises a vapor chamber and a heating chamber;
the vapor chamber having a cavity for holding vapor and a cartridge therein;
the heating chamber having a cavity for holding a catalyst therein; and
a seal disposed between the vapor chamber and the heating chamber for preventing contamination of exhaust gases produced by heating chamber from entering said vapor chamber.

5. A portable hand-held tubular casing device adapted for attachment to a mouthpiece for providing vapor for smoking to a user, comprising:
-
a fuel tank containing liquid fuel; a master valve for controlling flow of liquid fuel; a carburetor having a slot for entry of ambient air and providing a venturi effect to ambient air on entry; a heater having a vapor chamber and a heating chamber; an ignitor; and a thermal regulator; whereby in order to activate said device, the master valve is actuated which allows the fuel to flow into the carburetor and mixes with ambient air drawn through the slot which is ignited by the ignitor disposed within the heating chamber and heat generated therein is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation into the vapor chamber containing a smoking cartridge for vaporization. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
