Abstract

A vaporizer device that uses a flame (46) for vaporizing flavor and psychoactive compounds from smoking materials such as tobacco (28). The present device has a filter unit (34) with a porous flame filter (36). The flame filter (36) can be made of open-cell ceramic or metal foam, sintered ceramic or metal granules or other porous, heat resistant materials. In use, flame (46) is supplied to the flame filter (36), and inhalation causes ambie nt air to enter the flame filter (36) as well. The flame exhaust and ambient ai r are mixed within the flame filter (36) and produce an air stream of intermediate temperature. The intermediate temperature air stream is hot enough to vaporize desirable components from the smoking material (28), but generally is not hot enough to burn the smoking material (28). The temperatu re of the air stream can be controlled by adjusting the amount of flame (46) supplied to the flame filter (36).

Claims (31)

1. A vaporization device, comprising:
a) a pipe having a bowl for holding smoking material;
b) a heat resistant and porous flame filter for receiving a flame, wherein the flame filter has a thickness of at least 0.02 inches, and wherein the flame filter is removably attachable to the pipe upstream from the bowl.
2. The vaporization device of claim 1, wherein the flame filter has a thickness of at least 0.05 inches.
3. The vaporization device of claim 1, wherein the flame filter has a thickness in the range of 0.125-1 inches.
4. The vaporization device of claim 1, wherein the flame filter comprises open-cell foam.
5. The vaporization device of claim 4, wherein the open-cell foam comprises a material selected from the group consisting of silicon, cordierite, oxide-bonded silicon carbide, CVD silicon carbide, silica-containing ceramics and zirconium-containing ceramics.
6. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the flame filter comprises bonded granules.
7. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the flame filter has a cross sectional area in the range of 0.015-1 square inches.
8. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the flame filter comprises at least two discs with each disc having a least one hole, and holes in adjacent discs are non-overlapping.
9. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the flame filter comprises a web of wire.
10. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the flame filter comprises a stack of at least 3 mesh screens.
11. The vaporization device of claim 1 further comprising a filter housing surrounding the flame filter and wherein the flame filter is indirectly attachable to the pipe through the filter housing.
12. The vaporization pipe of claim 1 wherein the flame filter is made of metal, and the flame filter has a protective coating.
13. The vaporization device of claim 1 wherein the material of the flame filter has a thermal conductivity of at least 30 W/mK.
14. The vaporization device of claim 1 further comprising an airflow shutter that opens in response to excessive temperature, wherein the shutter is disposed in a path downstream of the flame filter.
15. The vaporization device of claim 1 further comprising a means for indicating temperature near the smoking material.
16. A vaporization device, comprising:
a) a pipe having a bowl for holding smoking material;
b) a heat resistant flame filter for receiving a flame, wherein the flame filter is made of open-cell ceramic foam, and wherein the flame filter is removably attachable to the pipe upstream from the bowl.
17. The vaporization pipe of claim 16 wherein the flame filter is made of CVD
silicon carbide ceramic foam.
18. The vaporization pipe of claim 16 wherein the flame filter has a thickness of at least 0.05 inches.
19. The vaporization pipe of claim 16 wherein the ceramic foam has PPI rating in the range of 50-110, inclusive.
20. The vaporization pipe of claim 16 further comprising an airflow shutter that opens in response to excessive temperature, wherein the shutter is disposed in an airflow path downstream of the flame filter.
21. The vaporization pipe of claim 16 further comprising a disc on top of the flame filter for directing airflow to the periphery.
22. The vaporization device of claim 16 further comprising a filter housing surrounding the flame filter and wherein the flame filter is indirectly attachable to the pipe through the filter housing.
23. A vaporization device, comprising:
a) a pipe having a bowl for holding smoking material;
b) a filter housing removably attachable to the pipe upstream from the bowl;
b) a heat resistant and porous flame filter disposed in the filter housing, wherein the flame filter has a thickness of at least 0.05 inches.
24. The vaporization pipe of claim 23 wherein the filter housing is made of wood.
25. The vaporization pipe of claim 23 wherein the flame filter is made of open-cell ceramic foam.
26. A filter unit for attachment to a pipe, comprising:
a) a filter housing;
b) a heat resistant and porous flame filter disposed in the filter housing;
c) a means for attaching the filter housing to the pipe.
27. The filter unit of claim 26 wherein the flame filter comprises open-cell ceramic foam.
28. The filter unit of claim 26 wherein the flame filter comprises bonded granules.
29. The filter unit of claim 26 wherein the flame filter has a thickness of at least 0.05 inches
30. The filter unit of claim 26 wherein the flame filter has a thickness in the range of 0.125 to 0.75 inches.
31. The filter unit of claim 26 further comprising a heat shield disposed between the flame filter and the filter housing.
