    The Lotus Vaporizer

    The hot plate should work fine unless you really boofed it. The plates oilcan (warp) over time due to the repeated extreme temperature variance on the thin metal plates. This is just physics, not a flaw in the design. We all want near instant performance and this is the inevitable trade-off...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    The WPAs have always had a weaker magnetic connection than the black stems and contain only one magnet iirc. My guess that this is to prevent pulling the WPA out of the downstem accidentally. II have one of my WPAs set up in "ultralight" mode for backpacking using only a tail of about 16" (40...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    I figure finishing off the eighth of Platinum Garlic Cookies that "tested" out at 33% THC and a hint of CBD but most importantly has the terps to pull it off would be a nice defloration for my new girlfriend Olive.

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Aahh the lovely Lotus is back. So happy. We first met in 2014 and haven't bought another vape since. Love them so much I just kept collecting them. If memory serves, I was the first to mod the debris screen (first to post here at least) as I was a trail runner at the time, continuously...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Sounds like the debris screen might have settled a bit too shallow keeping the bowl from fully inserting? Maybe? My WPAs also only have a single magnet vs two on the aluminum stems and never stick as well. Warms my heart seeing all these baby Lotii find their homes.

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    After a bit of research I can easily source button-head hex drive metric screws in 2mm x 10mm long with thin (1.2mm) low-profile nuts in both native and black oxide 18-8 stainless steel. Cant tell if the originals are 1.8mm or 2mm diameter screws but the 1.8mm are only available up to 6mm in...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Glad to see this thread still active. Hope to keep my Lotii runnin' as long as I'm still around but down to just a few plates left after replacing three within the last couple months. Does anybody know what the screw size/thread pitch is on the heat exchanger plate mounting screws. I'm looking...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Anybody have a decent source (US) for the Honest torches MV carried for years and years. Aside from the somewhat larger capacity but otherwise similar torch you could get from dynovape (iirc) a while back, I have not found a better or more dependable torch for on-the-go use with the Lotus. I've...

    You'll have to pry my last Lotus from my cold, dead fingers.

    I'd pay quite a bit for one last virgin non-scorched old school version 2 non-recessed vapor cap.

    There is an announcement from early January that they are out of stock on the aluminum stems. ETA is late February.

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    It's like a classic 1960s sport car. Fully manual and infinitely adjustable and capable of melting rubber when required. You need to know how to work all the levers and gears and work a bit harder shifting and steering but it is still the sweetest ride out there. Hey Max, noticed the sale...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Haven't bought another vape since my first Lotus in 2014. Now I have a half dozen vapor caps, just as many stems and three WPAs.

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    Walmart sells a super simple little single pocket waistpack in their running section that perfectly fits a lotus, honest lighter and small container for payload for about $8.00. I have one from about six years ago that has several thousand trail miles on it and aside from having to reinforce the...

    Any good Netflixxing going on?

    On a pandemic themed binge and finally got around to watching Train to Busan (2016). Solid, fun zombie movie. Subtitles, but it does not detract from enjoyment of the film as the dialog is uncomplicated and zombies don't talk.
