1. An electronic device for volatilizing organic-compounds associated with a solid material, the electronic device comprising:

  • a transparent tube that allows for infrared electromagnetic transmittance to pass through the transparent tube, the transparent tube including an inner wall, an outer wall, an open end, a distal end and a vaporization chamber that interfaces with the inner wall;

    a first screen disposed on a first side of the vaporization chamber;

    a removable second screen disposed on an opposite side of the vaporization chamber, wherein the solid material is received between the first screen and the removable second screen;

    an infrared heating element surrounding the outer wall of the portion of the vaporization chamber, wherein the infrared heating element includes a coiled resistance wire that surrounds the outer wall of the transparent tube;

    a settings profile that includes a first wattage setting and a first timer setting for the heating element, wherein the heating element volatilizes at least one compound corresponding to the solid material in the vaporization chamber by transmitting electromagnetic energy from the coiled resistance wire through the transparent tube and to the vaporization chamber;

    a memory that stores the settings profile;

    a processor operatively coupled to the memory module that controls the heating element according to the settings profile;

    a power supply controlled by the processor;

    a user switch communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the user switch activates the heating element according to the settings profile to volatilize the active compound in the chamber; and

    wherein the volatilized compound is configured to travel from the distal end of the transparent tube having the vaporization chamber to the open end of the transparent tube.
