Right firstly, clarify what you want, because right now it sounds like you want a pipe with the ability to vaporise the weed, but you keep referring to it as smoking, which is confusing. And regardless, why would cops not notice you (unless you're on the vape tangent, and even then that's not odourless)? Is it invisible? Because otherwise it just sounds like a regular pipe, filled with regular weed, which would be pretty recognisable.

Secondly, you'd need some sort of thermostat to limit how hot it burns, or you'd be as well sticking to a lighter. I'd also consider removing the fans/flaps in favour of a button, or "pad" area of the pipe which triggers ignition, considering the fans/flaps would be in an ashy/tarry environment around the bowl, there's a lot to go wrong.

Thirdly, have you factored a power source into this? Is it feasible without making the pipe 80's tv style remote control sized?
