In one embodiment, said mouthpiece 310 can comprise a bevel 1302 about an external portion of said second portion 811b of said mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment, said bevel 1302 can keep said mouthpiece 310 from recessing too far into said outer cylinder 306.

[0057] FIGS. 14A, 14B and 14C illustrate a cross-section perspective overview of a second configuration pipe 1400; a cross-section elevated front view of said second configuration pipe 1400; and a cross-section perspective overview of said second configuration pipe 1400 with said smokeable material 201, said first screen 1102 and said first screen 1106a. In one embodiment, said second configuration pipe 1400 can comprise a variation on said pipe 100 comprising no use of said outer cylinder 306 and the additional use of a second bowl 1402. In one embodiment, said second configuration pipe 1400 does not comprise said carburetor aperture 206; instead, said second configuration pipe 1400 comprises said bowl aperture 202 and said inhaling aperture 204 with a fluid passage 1404 between. In one embodiment, said second configuration pipe 1400 can comprise attaching said bowl assembly 102 to said bottle 308 and said bottle 308 to said mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment, said second bowl 1402 can attach to said mouthpiece 310 and said second bowl 1402 can slide inside of said bottle 308. In one embodiment, said first screen 1106a can be used between said second bowl 1402 and said bowl assembly 102 (within said bottle 308).

[0058] FIGS. 15A, 15B and 15C illustrate a cross-section perspective overview of a third configuration pipe 1500; a cross-section elevated front view of said third configuration pipe 1500; and a cross-section perspective overview of said third configuration pipe 1500 with said smokeable material 201 and said first screen 1102. In one embodiment, said third configuration pipe 1500 can comprise a variation on said second configuration pipe 140 comprising no use of said outer cylinder 306 or said bottle 308. In one embodiment, said third configuration pipe 1500 does not comprise said carburetor aperture 206; instead, said third configuration pipe 1500 comprises said bowl aperture 202 and said inhaling aperture 204 with a fluid passage 1504 between. In one embodiment, said third configuration pipe 1500 can comprise attaching said bowl assembly 102 to said mouthpiece 310.

[0059] FIGS. 16A, 16B and 16C illustrate a cross-section perspective overview of a fourth configuration pipe 1600; a cross-section elevated front view of said fourth configuration pipe 1600; and a cross-section perspective overview of said fourth configuration pipe 1600 with said smokeable material 201 and said first screen 1102. In one embodiment, said fourth configuration pipe 1600 can comprise a variation on said pipe 100 comprising no use of said bottle 308 or said mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment, said fourth configuration pipe 1600 can comprise a fluid passage 1604 between said bowl aperture 202, said inhaling aperture 204 and said carburetor aperture 206. In one embodiment, building said fourth configuration pipe 1600 from the parts of said pipe 100 can comprise removing said bottle 308 and said mouthpiece 310. In one embodiment, said fourth configuration pipe 1600 can be used by placing a user's mouth across said second end aperture 604b of said outer cylinder 306 (that is said inhaling aperture 204 of said fourth configuration pipe 1600). Thus, in one embodiment, said pipe 100 can be used as both said bottle 1200 and said fourth configuration pipe 1600 at the same time.

[0060] FIGS. 17A, 17B, 17C and 17D illustrate a perspective overview, an elevated bottom view, and two elevated front views of a locking system 1700. FIGS. 17A-17C illustrate said locking system 1700 in an open-configuration. FIG. 17D illustrates said locking system 1700 in a closed-configuration. In one embodiment, said locking system 1700 can comprise a first arm 1702, a second arm 1704, a lock 1706 and a key 1708. In one embodiment, said first arm 1702 can comprise a plurality of teeth 1710. In one embodiment, said first arm 1702 can move in and out relative to said lock 1706. In one embodiment, said plurality of teeth 1710 can be locked into one of a plurality of positions according to the location of said plurality of teeth 1710 relative to said lock 1706. In one embodiment, said lock 1706 is able to lock onto one of said plurality of teeth 1710 by rotating said key 1708 in said lock 1706 to hold said plurality of teeth 1710 in place relative to said lock 1706. Thus, in one embodiment, said locking system 1700 can be locked in a variety of positions.

[0061] FIG. 18 illustrates a perspective front view of said locking system 1700 locking around said pipe 100, where said pipe 100 is in a cross section view. In one embodiment, said first arm 1702 can be inserted into said carburetor aperture 206 and said second arm 1704 can be inserted into said inhaling aperture 204; wherein, said locking system 1700 can be used to hold said pipe 100 closed by locking said locking system 1700 so as to prevent said pipe 100 from being dismantled.
