Collapsible Water Pipe

Abstract

A collapsible water pipe for combusting herbs has a flexible body to facilitate enhanced portability of the collapsible water pipe. In a deployed configuration, a down stem is positioned through a stem opening in the flexible body, and a bowl is positioned into the down stem. The bowl is in fluid communication with the down stem, which is in turn in fluid communication with a water chamber of the flexible body. Herbs are combusted within the bowl; the resulting smoke being pulled through a liquid within the water chamber to a smoke chamber of the flexible body, where the smoke is then consumed by a user. When not in use, the collapsible water pipe can be arranged into a collapsed configuration. The flexible body is folded in half and the down stem and bowl are positioned within the smoke chamber, while a retention strap is positioned around the flexible body.
