The Lotus Vaporizer

trainbeat said:

I received my lotus yesterday and had the chance to use finally use it today.
Upon opening the box I was immediately struck by the build quailty. It has a nice weight to it, feels good in the hand. Simple, elegant design.
I went for the "sleek" torch. This also seems well made, with a nice brushed nickel finish.
I smoked with a good friend of mine. He's a die hard traditionalist when it comes to smoking. When I told him I bought a vape he was a little scornful.
Well, after a few tries and more than a few clouds of absolutely delicious vapor, he had a change of heart. More like a religious conversion actually.
The lotus is amazing. The taste. My god the taste.
Also, this is my first time ever using a vaporizer of any kind. I'm loving it!

Anyone heard anything about the MD sale?
I'm trying to refrain until I see what they offer.

This probably has been mentioned,in sorry for not reading through the thread for an answer.

I understand they have three different colors for the lotus,natural,black and turquoise.

What is the black and turquoise cover made of?I'm wondering because I have seen pictures of the natural cover having scorch marks form over heating.

I'm assuming if I buy this vape,the first few times I use it I will over heat it.
Which of the three would be least likely to scorch?

While it's unlikely to overheat it if used correctly, some scorching can definetely occur under the ring on the top. The scorched area that is in the airpath though is thinner than a hair and shorter than a couple milimeters... Practically it doesn't affect taste. Only a few people can distinguish a hint of wood and while I am very sensitive to tastes I haven't been able to detect any.
One good reason to prefer the natural is that it will remain like it was new for a looong time while the painted ones will take scars pretty fast in my experience. Go with natural imo...

Thanks for the reply,I'm looking at getting the jhook and WPA,just needed to decide on the finish.

So black and turquoise are still wood,just a color coating that can wear off if dropped.
I will probably get the natural finish,but I'm currently reading from page87 and on to get more info

That is a bummer...

Guess I'll just have suck it up and buy it direct.

@Max Jitter any chance of a FC promo now that the MD deal has fallen through?



PS. I've been lurking a long time, finely made an account because of the Lotus. This is a damn good thread!
Thanks to all those who have participated with pictures and videos, they have persuaded me that the Lotus should be my next vape.

So the Lotus went over with my small group of combusting friends better than any other vape I've shown them before. Up until this point, they had tried very few of my vaporizers more than once, and shown very little interest in vapor in general.

Within the first few hits (me driving) one of my friends was entirely enamored, opting to use the Lotus for the rest of the night in leiu of his usual bong hits. By the end of the night he had it all figured out and was heating it for himself without issue. Another one of my friends who usually is not even willing to try the vaporizers even expressed interest in trying the Lotus because of "how pretty" it is.

Color me impressed, I had pretty much given up on ever getting them interested in vapor.

Good news mate! I was also impressed with how much easier it was to turn combusting friends into the vapor side with the Lotus! The ritual is what attracts them the most I think, as well as the fact that it gives the smoothest dry hits ever as a portable!

So I went to this website, singed up so I could have an account, put the J hook from the link above in my shopping cart (while signed in), then decided to wait and closed out the page. After just activating my account, the next day TQG sent me an email saying "you left something in your shopping cart" and there was a coupon code in the email for FREE SHIPPING which took the $7 shipping charge away and made that sherlock J hook a real bargain at $7.99 shipped!!! Just a heads up, I might not have followed through with the purchase had they not sent me that coupon code email... if you were on the fence about buying it, it might be worth a try to see if you get the same thing. It's shipped and on the way, I'll post lotus pics when it gets here

Got home from a concert last night and my Lotus was in the mailbox! OK, I'm sold , very very tasty hits. My first try i got flavor, but no visible vapor, second try, lots of vapor. I'm still perfecting my technique, but this vape rocks I just wish they had put one of those scoops in the kit with the stem and water attachment

After showing my Lotus to all my combustion friends I managed to get a whopping 4 of them to buy one of their own! Now they fuck combustion and refuse to smoke after being adamantly against vaporizers because they "don't work"
