ted it sounds to me like your trying to build a pocket vaporizer?
Whats going to be the power source for the heating element?
How are you going to get it to cool down instantaneously without some sort of gas cartridge(perhaps c02 or n20)?
What is the bowl going to be made out of?

If you draw some schematics than it'd be a bit easier to see how feasible the idea really is and the differences between this and a pocket vaporizer such as a vapir.

It sounds to me like a flash-light might be a decent "Casing" for your device, already with battery holding. The hardest part in my opinion is going to be battery conservation. I tried making a vaporizer using nichrome wire as a heating element and a 9 volt battery. 15 seconds of it being on resulted in the battery being completely drained. Now that I know more about electronics this is solvable but still a problem.

The second hardest part in my opinion will be the bowl structure. Because you can't have flakes of hot weed falling into your electronics but you want a fan of sorts and a tube for auto-hits, while you still need to be able to heat your product evenly, and idealistically your machine should be totally clean-able to avoid paraphenalia charges.

I think your air-flow sensor will be a little complex and expensive. Let's put it this way my car doesn't even have a MAF.
