So today I've been using the cyclone piece with the Lotus and I have to say, they pair very well together, aside from how close the downstem is, my Lotus fits, but you could barely pass a hair between them. If you approach this one with a gentle start, then give it a good forceful draw after the water has lifted, I get very little strain or resistance. its a little strange having to watch the lower chamber for vapor production, as it fills up quite a bit before you see it go up to the can. After adjusting to how it draws, I have really been enjoying this one.
