Electronic pipe
An electronic pipe includes a first pipe section having an electronic module and a first connector element that communicates with the electronic module. A second pipe section is structured to be removeably attachable to the first pipe section, the second pipe section including a combustible material reservoir having a passageway that communicates with a mouthpiece receiver, with an aperture located on a surface of the second pipe section, the aperture communicating with the combustible material reservoir so that a fluid exterior to the electronic pipe can pass into the aperture, through the combustible material reservoir and into the passageway that communicates with the mouthpiece receiver and a second connector element structured to removeably couple to the first connector element, with both connector elements structured to transmit an electric current from the battery to a heating element located within the combustible material reservoir.
1. An electronic pipe, comprising:
