Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to systems and methods for providing a laser-based lighting system for smokable material, and more specifically, to a portable device for lighting and smoking tobacco products.
  • lighters especially those which are portable and intended to be carried in a pocket or purse, generally comprise a container or reservoir for fuel, and a nozzle or wick in communication with the reservoir and an igniter for producing a flame.
  • Such lighters must be filled periodically, or, as is more common, discarded when the fuel supply is exhausted. Inasmuch as a supply of replenishing fuel is usually not available, the lighter becomes useless upon exhaustion of the fuel.
  • the fuel itself is usually a liquefied gas or a flammable liquid which often has an unpleasant odor, and it is not uncommon that the fuel will leak out of the reservoir over a period of time, which, especially in the case of flammable liquid fuel, can present a safety hazard, as does the use of an open flame.
  • Lighters relying upon a flame are difficult to use in windy conditions, and the art is replete with devices for rendering the lighter at least partially windproof.
  • this invention relates to a portable smoking device, comprising: a base; a mouthpiece attached to the base via a connection means; a laser diode located within the base; a power source coupled to the laser diode; and a chamber configured to hold a smokable material.
