Abstract

A waterpipe arrangement that, in at least some configurations, is used with a water-based flavored substance instead of tobacco or other substances. In some configurations, the perforated foil has perforations in an annular arrangement configured to reduce, minimize or prevent coal ash from being introduced into the vapor consumed by the user. In some configurations, the consumable vapor-producing substance is in the form of a gel and can be provided in individual packaging. The individual packaging can be configured for placement directly into a receptacle of the bowl of the waterpipe. In some configurations, a single-use or disposable bowl is provided containing a consumable vapor-producing substance. The present disclosure also involves a pre-perforated foil or screen or a tool for perforating a foil.
