An electronic pipe includes a pipe section comprising an outer shell with a coil placed around and along the inside surface of the shell. The pipe section also may include a connector element coupled to a connector element on a battery section, with both connector elements structured to transmit an electric current from the battery to the coil. A material container is insertable into the pipe section such that the coil is disposed between the inside surface of the outer shell and the material container. The coil is capable of initiating a combustion reaction inside the material container.
