Totally normal oxidation on the heated portion of the plate, keep it clean and it will more or less stay in that condition. You will crispify some herbage early on but should get the hang of it quickly.
For sure, shitty butane might make your torch sputter and work a bit shittier than the "good" stuff but no need to wait. Best thing about the Lotus is the infinite flexibility from sipping on those delicious terpenes low and slow to banging out toe curling, face ripping blasts in a hurry. Of...
Quite a mystery. This may sound odd but you never mentioned if the other lights are coming on while you were having problems. Did the other leds light up one by one until all seven were lit up before you attempted to hit it? The leading temperature indicator led will stop blinking when the set...
Dried plant matter will still contain 10-15% residual water weight and extracted goodies should be an additional 10-20% dry weight so losing approx 30% of mass via dessication and extraction will result in shrinkage.
I found that I got abv up in the cap on a fairly regular basis, even when I wasn't trying and couldn't figure it out. Mostly though I like the screened cap when I'm out and about and just keep the cap on the bowl in a pocket or daypack between puffs.
I didn't get a chance to get my camera with a macro mode so these will have to do.
Ive been using the natural wood cap with a screen for a couple months with no problems. The screen generally stays in place or an occasional tap on the table with the stem in will reset it. I use this set up on...
I'll try to get pics up but it will likely be this weekend before I get a chance. I use the bowl of the Lotus to press a 3/4" (iirc) diameter fine screen into a rubber pad to dome the screen at roughly the ID of the vapor cap. I then roll the sides in to a cylinder to make a miniature drum shape...
I have the short and long stems and both perform well. The short one fits much better in to my trail run pack and other pockets much easier. The little leather cap pouch is pretty sweet as well.
I also use a super fine stainless screen domed and placed in the vapor cap in such a way as to...
Good choice you won't regret it. The Lotus itself can easily handle several people at a time but I would probably have an extra torch around as they tend to heat up and most are cheaply made.
The use and tactile feel of the Lotus is much akin to smoking a pipe or bong. There is an art to...
Spot on advice from OF as usual. I bet most of us have taken their Solo(s) apart for no real justifiable reason as the Solo appeals to the tinkerer type mindset.
My Solo had some weird odors the first few weeks I had it and the furnace cement took a long time to fully set and harden...
Hello Lotus people. I'm gonna pull the trigger on a Lotus for hiking and backpacking use and was wondering if there is a FC promo code. A search came up empty.
Believe me I've learned much from you around here. Thanks.
I was ordering from MC anyway and figured i would get a few to have around as 25 will last me for a long, long time. Place is spendy but if you need small quantities of weird combos of shit, the 1 box shipping and single transaction...
I'm getting ready to order wire mesh screens and have ordered from PV in the past and like the fine and extra fine mesh screens. Does anybody know what the mesh size corresponds to those screens. I'm considering 80 x 80 mesh, .0055" wire diameter pre-cut screens from McMaster-Carr and would...
In response to the recent discussion of sensor temperature level depression during vapor extraction the LEDs don't show the whole picture (at least on my M1B1, Aug 2014). Arizer appears to have programmed to units to not show the magnitude of the temperature drop during use by not showing...
Sorry, stupid double post.
Hope the plutocracy will let us citizens have the government back for the occasional holiday or weekend when they are not using it.
Hey dark,
This is the tubing you want. I use the 0.25 inch ID because it stretches and fits snugly over the Solo stems and attaches to the 0.25 glass tubing (mflb stem) pieces I like to use as 'stinger' mouthpieces and links up to my bubbler and hydrotube easily. I would think 5/16" or 3/8"...
