    Can you post a pic of the lighter mentioned in your earlier post? I didn't know you could turn the large lighters down to a small flame. The 18mm WPA wouldn't be hard, but I think a bigger bowl would give uneven heating.

    I think that your theory is correct but your testing is not. Don't forget that if you heat the Lotus as you normally do but don't inhale then the hot plate will go to a higher than normal temp as the inhalation air normally cools the hot plate. If the hot plate is heated to a higher than normal...

    Ding-Dong Easy stuff first: All the new WPA's have silicone o-rings on them. The pics on the website haven't caught up with reality yet. Radiation heating - I don't think there is any radiation heating on the Lotus. The new model has a separate plate between the hot plate and the diffuser plate...

    Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, we just started selling J Hooks from Zion glass, soon after you bought your Lotus. Then you'll need a double brimmed cap.

    You may have the flame on the torch adjusted too high. Try dialing it back so the flame is 1/4" shorter. The torch won't blow itself out and you'll have more control over scorching your herb.

    The bowl is slightly larger than 1/2", enough that a 1/2" screen will be loose in it. We are still giving away free screens in pairs if you send a stamped, self addressed envelope to us. Mendocino Therapeutics LLC PO Box 2799 Ukiah, CA 95482

    I think a cotton swab would work well for the vapor cap. If you look at the underside of the vapor cap you can see a small gap between the metal plate and the wood, which extends back about 1/8". You want to make sure you don't force or wedge anything in there. The gap is important for not...

    I'd sacrifice the stir stick first, but I don't have a lot of experience with glass.

    We've never had an issue with plain (w/o O-rings) WPAs expanding and breaking the joint. It's pretty heavy and can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature rises and it expands. The silicone O-rings are really there because the WPA was a little too small without them.

    I am pretty sure that the ground end is a standard size. I don't worry at all about that end breaking (or interfering with the stir stick. It's the far end of the J-hook that I am concerned about.

    There is still a small gap in the new model that has to be cleaned. Regarding the J-hook: The photos that people have been posting on this thread look really nice and have convinced us to offer a J-hook as an option. The issue is that the glass on some of them seem thin and breakable. Are some...

    It is easy to replace the plate. Yes and yes to your other questions. We are sending your replacement kit to Vaporstore today (includes the needed .050" hex wrench). 'From Blue Cloud': Does the inside of the cap have wood expossed now, it looks like it from the picture above? I know the old...

    Just a heads up, that the 15% PAT discount is stopping next Monday, 8/19.

    No, the WPAs don't have magnets on them. We are trying to keep the price point low, so no magnets.

    Sorry but you'll have to deal with Vaporstore about this.

    I'm struggling with the FC interface but: We do accept postal money orders. The new stems have exposed magnets as opposed to magnets half hidden by the bowl. We have been selling the new Lotus since March.

    The only brick and mortar stores that carry the Lotus are in Northern CA. Other than that it's on-line. On another subject, the new Water Pipe Adapters are here; bright, shiny and the same size as the present Lotus pipe bowl.
