Even better than the FF????
Depends on what you are looking for...
Lotus has better heat control and retention, is more portable (lighter, smaller), needs less maintenance, is more durable, more energy efficient, you never run out of power so it is more party friendly, can be easily be paired with glass, is cheaper, can be used off-grid...
Firefly is simpler to master, is silent, is stealthier and I hope I will soon learn what else! :D

i am not looking for anything in particular....i was just looking mainly to add to the collection. I have the FF and i love it. I have heard good things about the lotus and i pulled the trigger and bought one. hopefully it will be here by the weekend. The lotus would be something i would share with friends...the FF is a personal vape..no one touches it but me and i am sure when you get yours you will understand that statement.

I really wanted the FF, and will likely get one down the road, but it did not meet my needs in the way Lotus does.

At the time of purchase, I was looking for a portable off the grid solution. the FF battery life and cost made it a quick decision once I was educated.

Lotus has a learning curve, but gives huge rips on demand with no battery required. Cleaning is as easy as anything I have used. Pop out the screen, and particles fall out effortlessly in ISO. The Stem and bowl also clean very easily and I have found there is little for residue to hold on to.

I have not yet done a disassembly of the plates and the top piece, but I have found minimal build up in there and little need to do so.

You Must Unlearn, What You Have Learned...
In honor of winter fading away I decided to go all Frosty the Stoned Man style yesterday......



Found this Corn Cob Pipe at a local store for $3.99 and thought hmmm...

So at first I just threw in a 18 to 14 reducer and tried it this way....



I could not believe the smoothness and vapor that followed. I really was just going to throw this up as a joke/homage to this thread and old man winter, but after that first try I decided that I would see what I could do to make it better.

I whittled away at the bowl so that the 18-14 reducer would fit in nice and then threw a small piece of high temp silicone tubing over the adapter to make a nice seal around the top. Now I can see the lotus nicely for lighting and the thing hits just as nice as the aluminum stem. (Even better with that homemade feeling you get!)

Cannabic Creativity at its finest.

Now I am off researching better corn cob pipe options that offer filter-less removable bent stems and standard 19mm chambers (bowls). So now I have VAS, GAS, and CCPAS (Corn Cob Pipe Acquisition Syndrome)....

It never ends.....:worms:
I love it @lovinlivinlife I have been using my curvy sherlock over my water pipes and even have an artist on Etsy making me a personalized j hook/bowl for the Lotus. I love some high temp silicone over the wpa. Sooo many advantages, Bc 1) MT says it won't break glass with the orings in place, this is a flat out lie, sorry @maxjitter a spade is a spade, it broke my adapter. Haven't had a problem with silicone since, even use the adapter it cracked, and no problems so far. Even saying it won't break anything with the extra silicone would be a wrong, bold statement IMO. 2) You can manipulate the silicone by folding it below the bottom of wpa making a double layer below the wpa (to create a "movable" plug for combustion bowls etc), or fold above the bottom (creating a double layer around wpa, which comfortably fits my 18mm female joints). Or just letting it hang a little past the end I can fit comfortably in both 14mm female as well as over 14mm DI and inside 18 DI. Bc it's so easy to manipulate the Lotus it is becoming my FAVORITE vape, I never expected it in a million years but I've honestly used the LSV about 25% or less the past few weeks. I am infatuated by a 5-7 inch glass Sherlock that has made my appreciation of this vape soar to its highest peak! Thanks @maxjitter you have made this guy one happy camper!

I am in total awe of the Lotus. It is everything I want in a vaporizer (for the most part). The 'other' tiny little part is that torch lighters and j-hooks are not always the coolest in certain circumstances. For those moments I have a Firefly.
After tuning up my torches my LOTUS flavor wise is pretty outstanding.
Effect wise a bit stronger than I'm use to.
I kind of like it!
Around the garden it's the bomb!

The FIRE FLY is a different style of vaporizer.
This might be the one for walking the dog!

I have only had the Lotus a short time, and it is actually taking over as an at home driver as well:nod:

I never thought it would take over the S&B Plenty's spot, but it is so easy to just pack 1.5 scoops and hit it.
I also just did another clean, and it hits so well when cleaned out. I find it gives a much more even roast to the ABV when clean.

Plenty is still my favorite home unit, but will now be reserved for multi person sessions instead of being my solo unit. I do find the Plenty's coiled whip feels much cooler than the aluminum stem IMO, but I expect the Lotus will be far gentler on my throat [than the Plenty] after getting the WPA.

For the first time in over a year, my Plenty is unplugged and in a drawer.
My Lotus is now in the #1 spot on the coffee table:cool:

Since you did a review on the PLENTY I feel the LOTUS is a good little VAPORIZER. I still grab a SOLO in the middle of the night to curb my insomnia. I have some extremely tasteful INDICA and it will knock you out regardless of the vaporizer. The LOTUS was used for my afternoon session and just put me down for the count were my SOLO I can still function.

To say it's better than a SOLO?
Better? Different.
Stronger? Yes.
I'll use the LOTUS more maybe tonight however during the day I still like the SOLO.
I will use the LOTUS more however at different times to find what works best!

INDICA, SATIVA, HYBRID?

Vaporizer?

Time of Day?

Activities?

We have to match what were doing?
CANNABIS TYPE?
VAPORIZER STYLE?
ACTIVITY?

I haven't found a one trick pony!

CANNABIS is the "HOLY GRAIL"!

It's cheap, taste great & medicates!

Do i need the WPA for the lotus or is it possible to use it with a 14mm or 18mm Solo PVHE GonG?
Thinking about buying a lotus for the summer..

Ha, I noticed the clicking today after reading your post; funny I had not noticed it before.

Have any of you had luck with oils/waxes in the lotus, or does that just gunk it up?


@Berry~I regret not getting the WPA attachment when I ordered, go ahead and spend the $20.

Why is that? Is the metal WPA better? Found this post it seems another member tried this mod and likes it better compared to the stock metal WPA.

It is awesome with the Pvhe turbo gong. It also has a much finer screen now. The o-ring makes the seal, with out it you do not get much of any thing at all. I like my mod a lot since I only use my lotus on glass pieces and the gong is a lot better then the stock metal WPA.

And i got to say it really looks dope with that sherlock :)

I ordered my lotus last monday, i was hoping to have it by now. I called them yesterday and they told me they were missing some parts and the parts arrived on friday. They shipped my unit out yesterday evening. so maybe this weekend i can check this bad boy out. I got the sherlock setup. The stem setup did not appeal to me...i do like some of those customer glass pieces i have seen in this forum...some of the J-hooks make me think of sitting on the back porch in a rocking chair with a glass of apple pie moonshine(yeah mutha fuckas i drink moonshine) and enjoying the day. i honestly cannot wait till this thing gets here.

i have lately been using the lotus for my concentrates havnt even touched my pen attactchments or rba's that i just got. The lotus blows massive clouds with my waxes an whatnot. I just put a little bed of herb on the bottom, and just throw whatever ontop and rip away. you can get so many hits from such a small dab. personally i think i get bigger better tasting hits out of the lotus than comparing to my oil rig.

clouds away!!!!!

@Berry~ Thats a nice setup I previously had not seen:)

I guess if you can source the right size glass and o-rings, going glass would make sense. I imagine the glass cools equally as well, if not better than the aluminum.

Like Vorrage, I kinda like the metal as it is unbreakable and IMO a bit more discrete.

@rekrab~ thanks! Will give it a go:D

the metal wpa is better because it was made specifically for the Lotus. Plus, it does not break so it is better to carry around and unless you lose it, it will last a long time.

I get your point that it's specially made for the Lotus, but did you tried it yourself with a PV Solo GonG?

@Berry~ Thats a nice setup I previously had not seen:)

Indeed and why spend 20$ if i have a 14mm PVHE GonG at home that i don't use.

Vapor.wise
No but other people did and said it was not a perfect fit and they needed to remove the metal ring.

I use my HI gong stem when i want to use a glass adapter. It is not a perfect fit either but i don't have to remove anything from the cap. I like to mod when i don't actually change the initial design.


You have to ask yourself what is the advantage of the glass gong? The difference in taste is marginal and glass breaks. If you can't afford one, that is one thing... but if you can, and you will use your lotus with a bong, i'd get the wpa.

You can still use the pvhe gong when you feel like it. But i don't think you will.

Running a straight glass out of Loreena (lotus) all the way to my mouth has the best flavor and easiest for cleaning.

I do not believe in byproducts or reclaim any more and Im all about flavor so all glass is my preference.

Shine of super clean glass always dazzles the ladies along with an extra sexy torch and Loreena will bed you the finest heady damsels you will ever meet.

Is there any particular way you got the metal ring out of the cap?

So I went to the LHS today to buy a J-Hook, and just as I was about to check out, this little piece caught my eye. I just tested it out, and I can say those were the biggest vapor clouds I have ever had the pleasure of inhaling. Being able to see the vapor form makes it even easier to use. I've got mad love for the Lotus :peace:

I used the LOTUS 3 days in a row since I fine tuned my lighters.
It took me a while to master the LOTUS.
I almost gave up until I saw the video on how to purge when refilling a lighter.
My collection came alive.
What a rookie mistake!

I have abused this thing so bad! (need to sand the wood and refinish it: "scorched it"!)
The flavor the LOTUS is very good.
Effect wise! (WOW!)

@samirfuzzywuzzy - I agree on the glass path!
GLASS SHERLOCK (JHOOK)!



@natural farmer I apologize!
