Abstract

An electronic pipe includes a battery, an electronic module, a combustible material reservoir, and a heating element inside the combustible material reservoir. The pipe transmits an electric current from the battery to the heating element and the heating element is design to initiate a combustion reaction in the combustible material reservoir, at least partially combusting the combustible material for inhalation purposes.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic pipe, comprising:

a battery, an electronic module, a combustible material reservoir, and a heating element fixed in the combustible material reservoir;

combustible material loaded into the combustible material reservoir;

wherein the pipe is structured to transmit an electric current from the battery to the heating element, the heating element initiating a combustion reaction in the combustible material reservoir.

2. The electronic pipe of claim 1 , comprising a light-emitting diode (LED) communicating with the electronic module.

3. The electronic pipe of claim 1 , wherein the electronic module is selected from a group consisting of: a printed circuit board, an integrated circuit, a computer chip; a printed circuit board having an integrated circuit mounted thereon, and a memory module encoded with a program.

4. The electronic pipe of claim 1 , wherein the battery is rechargeable.

5. A method of at least partially combusting a combustible material for inhalation, comprising:

providing an electronic pipe comprising a battery, an electronic module, a combustible material reservoir, and a heating element fixed in the combustible material reservoir;

loading the combustible material into the combustible material reservoir;

activating the electronic pipe such that electric current is transmitted from the battery to the heating element;

initiating, by way of the heating element, a combustion reaction in the combustible material reservoir, the combustion reaction at least partially combusting the combustible material.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the electronic pipe includes a light-emitting diode (LED) communicating with the electronic module.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the electronic module is selected from a group consisting of: a printed circuit board, an integrated circuit, a computer chip; a printed circuit board having an integrated circuit mounted thereon, and a memory module encoded with a program.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the battery is rechargeable.
