Abstract:
An herbal vaporizing kit assembly comprising:a fire-resistant housing forming a heat generating compartment having an access opening formed in a side wall thereof, said housing being constructed with a bottom support structure for positioning said housing on a substantially planar support surface; at least one elongated heating element having a first end and a second end; a support element in said compartment coupled to said first end to position said second end proximate said access opening, said support element further positioning said second end at a height equal to or less than the height between the first end and said planar support surface; an elongated insulating sleeve mounted to said support element in a concentric relationship with said heating element, said sleeve including an aperture proximate said second end; a connector in electrical communication with said heating element and constructed to be placed in electrical communication with a power source; an actuator electrically coupled to said connector for energizing said heating element upon connection of said connector to said power source; a heat exchanging transparent handpiece including a heat transfer chamber with an open end for abutting said second end of said heating element, a filter at an opposing end of said heat transfer chamber, and a vapor collection chamber with an end region defining an aperture wherein a user may inhale therethrough; and an elongated flexible extension tube having a first end for connection to said end region and a distal end for inhalation therethrough whereby said heat transfer chamber may be packed with said herbal sample and placed in close proximity with said second end and a user may inhale through said distal end to vaporize said herbal sample and draw said vapor into said vapor collection chamber for subsequent inhalation.
