Benefits of technology

[0005]It is an object of the present invention to provide a smoke conditioning and filtration system that conditions the smoke produced from tobacco or other herbal substances by expanding the inherent hot gases and then moisturizing and cooling the smoke.
[0007]It is still another object of the present invention to provide a smoke conditioning and filtration system that blows smoke from a spout, eliminating the need to put one's mouth on the spout.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Problems solved by technology

However, those previous water pipes simply draw smoke from a bowl down and through a body of stagnant water.
This causes only a very marginal amount of cooling of the smoke prior to inhalation by a user.

Abstract

A smoke conditioning and filtration system is disclosed. The system mixes smoke created from a burnable substance, such as tobacco or other herbal substances, with liquid vapor. This causes expanding of the inherent hot gases and moisturizing and cooling of the smoke, thereby creating a more pleasurable smoking experience. The system also conditions the smoke produced from tobacco or other herbal substances by filtering out a portion of the particulates and congeals a portion of the oil contained within the smoke. Furthermore, the system blows smoke from a spout, eliminating the need to put one's mouth on the spout, thus creating a more sanitary smoking experience.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to a corresponding provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 60 / 835,286, filed Aug. 3, 2006 in the name of the applicants of this application.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to filtration devices and, more specifically, to a smoke conditioning and filtration system that mixes liquid vapor with smoke to condition and filter the smoke.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]People have been smoking tobacco and other herbal substances as a pastime for years. Using a water pipe for smoking the tobacco and other herbal substances has also been known. However, those previous water pipes simply draw smoke from a bowl down and through a body of stagnant water. This causes only a very marginal amount of cooling of the smoke prior to inhalation by a user.[0004]Therefore, a need existed for a smoke conditioning and filtration system that agitates liquid and provides for increased cooling of the smoke...
