Vaporizing Pipe Comprising Wire Coils

Abstract

Provided is a vaporizing pipe made from wound wire coils. The vaporizing pipe comprises two halves: a pipe unit and a filter unit. The pipe unit has a bowl for holding smoking material. The filter unit contains a flame filter for providing vaporization temperatures, as known in the art. The pipe unit and filter unit attach by twisting/rotating (“attachment by nested coils”). The windings of the coils screw together in a manner similar to screw threads. The pipe unit can comprise 1, 2 or more coils. The filter unit can comprise 1, 2, 3 or more coils. Air gaps can be disposed between coils, thereby providing thermal insulation. The coils can be made of stainless steel wire for example. The wire can have a diameter of about 0.050-0.075 inches for example.
