Abstract

A vapor apparatus for the pulmonary administration of combustible substances includes a vessel capable of holding liquids, a stem for holding a nail assembly, a nail assembly for heating the combustible substances, a user interface for determining heating temperature and heating duration, and an elongate neck for the user'"'"'s mouth. Other embodiments include a remote interface, a removable neck, a percolator, and sensors for determining attributes of the combustible material. The vapor apparatus may further include a tool for sealing the combustible material and manipulating the combustible material. Fans can be added for forcing air through the apparatus.

Claims

1. A vapor apparatus, comprising:

a vessel suitable for holding a liquid;

an elongate neck removably couplable to the vessel, the elongate neck having an opening at a distal end and adapted to transport airborne particles from the vessel to a user through the opening;

an upwardly disposed stem extending from the vessel, the stem in fluid communication with the liquid within the vessel through a vapor tube extension;

a power source electrically connected to the vessel; and

a nail assembly removably couplable to the distal end of the stem, the nail assembly comprising;

a bowl configured to retain a combustible substance;

an opening adapted to allow air to flow into the nail assembly; and

a vapor tube adjacent to the bowl and adapted to receive airborne particles of the combustible substance,

wherein the nail assembly is adapted to heat the combustible substance to a temperature, and wherein the vapor tube is adapted to transport the airborne particles through the vapor tube extension into the vessel.

2. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a base capable of wirelessly charging the power source.

3. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a user interface controllable through an attached interface, the interface capable of remote control.

4. The user interface of claim 3, further comprising a wireless data interface for two-way communication between the vapor apparatus and a software application.

5. The vapor apparatus of claim 1 further comprising one or more sensors for detecting combustible material attributes selected from a group consisting of:

electrical conductivity, weight, mass, type of airborne particles created, color, and heat transfer coefficient.

6. The nail assembly of claim 1, further comprising a thermocouple and a bowl heating device adjacent to the bowl.

7. The nail assembly of claim 6, wherein the bowl heating device is a hot surface igniter.

8. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, wherein the bowl is concave.

9. The vapor apparatus of claim 8, wherein the bowl is composed of a material selected from the group consisting of:

titanium, ceramic, quartz, glass, and steel.

10. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a percolator removably couplable to the vessel.

11. The vapor apparatus of claim 10, wherein the percolator is a double showerhead type.

12. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, wherein the elongate neck further comprising is a fan and a vapor catching device.

13. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a powered airflow device adapted to force airborne particles from the combustible substance through the vapor apparatus.

14. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nail assembly further comprises at least one sensor capable of determining the temperature of the bowl holding the combustible substance.

15. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a liquid temperature measuring device and a liquid cooling device.

16. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a carbcap having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion comprises a tool coupled to the distal end and adapted to manipulate the combustible substance, and wherein the lower portion is a flared end adapted to couple to the nail assembly.

17. The carbcap of claim 15, wherein the upper portion and the lower portion are threadably couplable.

18. The carbcap of claim 15, wherein the lower portion further comprises a hole through the flair whereby air can penetrate the carbcap.

19. The vapor apparatus of claim 1, wherein the nail assembly is adapted to receive a premeasured pod of combustible substance.

20. The vapor apparatus of claim 19, wherein the pod contains stored information readable by the vapor apparatus to adjust parameters for use of the vapor apparatus with the pod.
