Salutations ThujOne,
...maybe you should push towards a final design and file a patent yourself...
Oh well, let me just assure you that won't/can't happen. Anyway the ideas gathered as my "Lava" concept, which were born out of a fantasy for adults so to speak, might simply die otherwise and that's certainly not how i conceive my own contribution in the greater context. Maybe i should continue to insist that i don't pretend being anything else than a member of a virtual forum, that i invite other members to exercise their own legit criticism by sharing testimonies and replicating the experiences of others, etc. On another hand i'm glad that i had a few good intuitions when i started asking Induction Heat questions in 2010 - and often went into my fair share of trouble from then on... Etc., etc.

Now here's a contrasting sample of a patented "contribution" that left its lasting mark in our recent industrial history: a machine by James Albert Bonsack (1859-Oct-9, Roanoke/Virginia to 1924-Jun-2, Philadelphia).
I dunno about you but personally i had never heard of him before relatively recently and i'm a former heavy smoker both of tobacco and hashish myself...
The guy invented that cigarette rolling machine for his very own mercantile motivations - which plagued humanity as a result of tobacco SMOKING turned into a health problem on the planetary scale. In the end he got his money while a significant part of the world inherited the associated socio-toxic nuisance($) and yet how many of us remembers or even knew about it?! In addition one has to wonder who cared "for the children" at all, 1
+ century ago?...

Decidedly if a device is capable of "saving" the children of planet Itnoc it won't be at such elevated cost i believe. So, any means will do as long as the "seed" has some fair chances to develop then help disseminate that which seems to lack some manufacturers so desperately today: m'well, a change of perspective(s) for starters, i guess.
As for how "Harm-Reduction" features such as "Micro-Dosage"/"Micro-Bursting" (or "Micro-Toking"?...) can be implemented best i'd have to argue i only care for the final outcome. If it's going to help eradicate the pyrolysis of rolling paper + glue + vegetal substrate (laced with Trudeau's "Mari-Caca" Hydrogen Cyanide and whatnot!) from the environment then that's satisfying enough i think. Not to mention the DynaVap consumption method appears to come at a slightly more affordable cost while i consider economic$ are also an important factor within the grand overall equation...
On the "to-do" side though i find those VapCap exposed parts a bit too intimidating considering it's meant to get burning-hot; in comparison i much prefer my LavaCapsule strategy:
(Fictional and unfinished...)
Perhaps not using as much heat insulation, then i wouldn't resist the urge to tag it "DynaCapsule" (with their "CCD Screen" inside) i suppose, etc.
...electronics-free vapourising...
That but not only, the patent is clearly inclusive of other heat sources which might prove convenient as well. Induction Heat, since it allows more precise "packetization" of Heat Charge injection in IH mode, etc., for example...
...the basis for contemporary liquid e-cig design.
M'well, those poor e-Cig people need some good help too!...
...toking THC vapour through a bubbler seems pointless to me. i am still more interested in the Egzoset design that focuses on dry filtering and then adding clean moisture to the THC vapour...
Thanks, i'm glad someone noticed!
It's effectively aroma/taste oriented and any filtering comes at a trade-off cost. In the Bronze Sherlock pipe, for example, i get the constant impression the main/large (2nd) cavity under its cannabic bowl captures particles as a result of vortex currents; which kind of confirms each time i care to clean it up, before airflow is affected significantly... When using an uni-directional/near-symetrical capsule setup under an Induction Heat context, in combination with Curie alloys, or perhaps just SS304 (T
C ~ 200 °C as i recall...), it should become possible to render the "filter" self-cleaning as it is also radiating heat on the post-vaporization side. Another advantage of the CCD Screen layout is its compatibility with dynamic transducers, all it takes is a continuous magnetic field to "excite" the "membrane" using inductor coils, that's it: voilà, ultra-sonic shaking as a bonus.
To top it all the CCD Screen can be set to click when it reaches its target temperature, which is going to be picked-up by a 10th driver coil, for subsequent quadrature demodulation since the IH driver clock would happen to be locally available in a same table accessory anyway, etc. In other words the owner would be warned both by the click and the base station since it would have the means to detect such transitional event, e.g. the same way it does tap commands - while i also expect those clicks to come with a specific signature. Etc.
Those CCD Screens seem tiny so i don't know if a single unit can provide sufficient energy for my own intended range of applications, which integrates Self-Moisturizing/Auto-Conditioning and hence require some extra punch to heat up a droplet of distilled water (or two...) via an auxiliary boiler/evaporater, etc... Stored heat depends on mass and temperature, then airflow (aero/thermo dynamics kick in), so... If there's going to be a thermal bottle then this shall call for 2 of them indeed, i figure. Hence here are on-line tools for those who'd be tempted to get an evaluation of what it implies (in Joules, as i recall):
(...)
On another hand i must keep in mind i only have 2 batteries available - out of 3, actually, because while cyclic permutations of 2 go on in sequence a 3rd cell is always falling in "iddle" state...
And of course i didn't give up my appetite for bio-feedback, on the contrary! So if it's meant to have a tap-touch/audible user-interface hidden within a self-cleaning filter doubling as an ultra-sonic bowl stirred - plus the main IH role, euh... Then this is my vision for a DeLuxe IH solution with everything packed in:
(Fictional and unfinished...)
Which is direct 3-Phase power conversion as heat...
(Fictional and unfinished...)
That would be 3 sets of 3 coils, e.g. each set run @ a 120° phase angle (from each other) on 2 batteries through a power transistor matrix linked to digital control, possibly wireless, etc.
Except i wouldn't want any burning-hot parts exposed as previously suggested below:
(Fictional and unfinished...)
Instead it woud need to be a "bicephale" sort of pipe, possibly with 2 Hybrid Cores heating the cannabic bowl, e.g. from both sides or in a reversible configuration as i just explained above, collecting the noble molecules via its central axis in a 2-cores scenario or from the opposite side turned into a self-cleaning filter when uni-directional/reversible. The handle would be non-magnetic and have a large pass-through opening with sealed/separated internal aerial circuits coupling with the handle's main inhalation and "PinHole" conduits at the mating interface inside, using little more technology than boring high-temperature/food-grade "O-Rings" and a few other tricks to offer some neat, fully adjustable device that even *I* can rely on...
...indefinitely, until there are no "lost" children left on planet Itnoc, etc!
Good day, have fun!!
