Portable electronic mu'assal vaporizer

Abstract

A portable electronic Mu'assal vaporizing device that replaces charcoal as the heat source for hookah smoking to optimize the vaporization process of the combustible substance. The device includes an electric resistance heating element that provides heat energy to vaporize the combustible substance. Positioned in the vicinity of the heating element are adjuncts that greatly enhance the vaporization method. Moreover, a power source supplies the voltage needed to power the heating element. A voltage modulator regulates the voltage supplied to the heating element. The voltage modulator is controlled by the user through a dial potentiometer. The overall integrational strategy of the heating element within the device leads to optimal Mu'assal vaporization.
