Yeah I suppose. I don't care if they bring back the aluminum stems, but that j-hook seems like something special.

Azzwoodcustoms is in the UK, maybe they cam make something.Does anybody know where I might source a wooden j-hook / Gandalf-style pipe that is compatible with the Lotus (preferably in the UK for minimal delivery costs)? I have a couple of glass j-hooks but I’d like some additional options

Yeah, I have one of their mouth pieces for the TM2. Custom is an option and it might come down to that but I was hoping to find someone who makes them on a more regular basis if I can, gives me the chance to browse a few options as it were

You can ask the guy called “Tinystems” you can find him on IG and I think he has a website but I’m not sure the name of it. He makes a hammer style pipe that fits a 14mm wpa.Yeah, I have one of their mouth pieces for the TM2.

Following up from my question above
Answering my own question, I just came across MacQueen Pipes the other day. They have some nice looking options, good prices I would say, and importantly, they are aware of vaping, they make a Dynavap adapter/pipe thing. So I dropped them an email earlier to see if the think their pipe bowls would accommodate the Lotus' WPA - apparently somebody else asked them the same thing recently! Anyway, they told the other person that they would need to know the length of the WPA so they could work out the depth they would need to make their bowl. Anyway, apparently MacQueen Pipes told this other person to get in touch with the makers of the Lotus, presumably the person contact David or Michael not Rene but either way, whoever they contacted told them that the length of the WPA is 1.5cm but MacQueen Pipes have told me they think that must be wrong from looking at the pictures. I agree, I'm sure it is longer than 1.5cm.
So, long story short, does anybody know what the length of the WPA is?

The portion of my WPA that goes into the joint (below the handle and ring) is 23mm. I don't know if the vapman-made WPA is the same.

they look good and are reasonably priced ... i'd be in for one of their pipes that would work with the lotus!

I was reminded of another good pipe option on the Dani thread:
You might need another o-ring, but the pipe portion of the Retrosteam Cuban could work. My lotus WPA works great in all my sticky bricks too.i like to use it on wpa + pipe :

I’ve been wanting a dual PID so I can run both my ZX and Quaroma at the same time, since @VGOODIEZ has kindly extended the savings into spring I decided now is as good a time as any. And with a pre-order Lotus heading my way soon I added in a RBB Milk Ball and a 14mm Jhook to be it’s future hosts!

Definitely looking forward to mine. It's been on my list for years!

Yeah, the reactions will be fun. It's one of those vapes you can fall in love with, like the Vapman. Of course, they will be debuting in a world of ball vapes this time around.
True although I have no trouble producing massive clouds with the WPA. Sometimes my technique with the stem is not as good, though still tasty. Seeing the vapor as I draw is a big help.
Lotus is not a ball vape but it is certainly very capable at what it does.

Definitely! Early in its thread everyone was treating it like a one-hitter! You can pretty much get what you want from it, from sipping to blasting. I predict its magic is still strong.True although I have no trouble producing massive clouds with the WPA. Sometimes my technique with the stem is not as good, though still tasty.

I can confidently say I strongly regret getting did of my lotusPretty much a week in with the Lotus and this thing does not disappoint at all. If I would have just got one of these when I first heard of them years ago I might have saved myself some money!
Normally I’m not the biggest fan of using most torch vapes out in the sunlight, since it can be next to impossible to see the flame properly, but so far I haven’t had much difficulty with the Lotus, and theres been a lot of hot sunny days the past week to test this out.
The guy I traded with to get this vape originally purchased this in 2015, and she’s still going strong for an 8 year old vape that’s been around the world once over. I understand why there’s been such a cult following for the Lotus all this time. 🪷
Now the hype for the Olive version is even more real! Can’t wait to see a fresh Lotus, untouched by the flame
I curious about this too. From the photos your WPAs look really different too. Where did you find these?

I just looked at the pics and it look OG to me. I think the WPA was added pretty quickly but it couldn't have shipped with the first run, I don't think. I don't think I've seen the WPA without a handle (the orings came quickly too, iirc), but the cap doesn't have the metal ring with the patent #, the stirrer, and has the lines on the plate and shiny finish. Looks pristine, did you ever use it?
EDIT: Max introduced the wpa sans handle and orings in Dec 2010:

If you only offer one size I recommend 14mm because the adapter to fit it into an 18mm female doesn't add extra length like the 18 to 14 adapter. http://aqualabtechnologies.com/glass-accessories/glass-adapters/alt-18-14-mm-low-pro-reducer-adapter.html...
