The outlet 68 presents a semicircular configuration without limiting the scope of the present invention.

(16) As best shown in FIGS. 3 through 5, the core portion 14 includes an insert 16 presenting a rectangular plate having a first end 30, a second end 32, side edges 34, 36. An opening 38 is formed at the first end 30, wherein the opening 38 is used to receive the bowl 28. a bottom surface 80 and a top surface 82. The core portion 14 includes side walls 84, 86, 88, and 90 are straight as they extend from the bottom surface 80 and then incline as they extend to the top surface 82. The core portion 14 includes a first end 92 and a second end 94. The core portion 14 includes an opening 96 adjacent the first end 92 to receive the bowl 28. There several openings 98, 100, 102, 104, and 106 defined at the first end 92 and the second end 94.

(17) Alluding to the above, these several openings 98, 100, 102, 104, and 106 are used for magnets to hold the insert 16 in place. The top surface 82 includes a peripheral rail 110 extending about the top surface 82 expect the part at the first end 92 to allow the slide portion 16 to be inserted therein and slide about the top surface 82 wherein the opening 96 and the opening 38 are aligned with one another to receive the bowl 28 secured thereby. The bottom surface 80 presents a meshed surface comprised of a multitude of cavities (not shown).

(18) A channel 112 is defined at the second end 94. When assembled, the bottom surface 80 of the core portion 14 covers the top surface 58 of the bottom portion 12 to cover the pool 60. A second pool 114 is formed in the top surface 82. The second pool 114 extends to the opening 96. The second pool 114 is used for keeping different elements like consumable material or battery, without limiting the scope of the present invention.

(19) As best shown in FIG. 1, the housing 18 is used to hold a mother board 19 the central processing unit 20, the transmitter 22, the memory 24, and the battery 26, wherein all these components are operably connected with one another. The central processing unit 20 includes a software that is configured to control dosage, temperature, length of inhaling, etc. The central processing unit 20 is operably connected to the transmitter 22 adaptable to receive wireless signals. The memory 24 is operably communicated with the transmitter 22 and the central processing unit 20 and the battery 26. In one aspect of the present invention, the housing includes a first element, i.e. a wire 120 and a second element, i.e. the wire 122 is located in the core portion 14, without limiting the scope of invention. The first element 120 is operably communicated with the mother board, the central processing unit 20, the transmitter 22, the memory 24, and the battery 26. The system allows to record usage dosage, give user the information, vaporize material, etc. When user touches the elements 120 and 122 at the same time, the circuit 23 gives signal to the mother board 19 and the mother board sends signal to the central processing unit 20. The signals initiated, transmitted, stored, processed, and managed in this way may include, without limitation, commands to start or stop vaporization process or give notifications through vibration, sound, or light emitting devices (not included in the embodiment).
