Depends on what you are looking for...
i am not looking for anything in particular....i was just looking mainly to add to the collection. I have the FF and i love it. I have heard good things about the lotus and i pulled the trigger and bought one. hopefully it will be here by the weekend. The lotus would be something i would share with friends...the FF is a personal vape..no one touches it but me and i am sure when you get yours you will understand that statement.Depends on what you are looking for...
Lotus has better heat control and retention, is more portable (lighter, smaller), needs less maintenance, is more durable, more energy efficient, you never run out of power so it is more party friendly, can be easily be paired with glass, is cheaper, can be used off-grid...
Firefly is simpler to master, is silent, is stealthier and I hope I will soon learn what else!
I love it @lovinlivinlife I have been using my curvy sherlock over my water pipes and even have an artist on Etsy making me a personalized j hook/bowl for the Lotus. I love some high temp silicone over the wpa. Sooo many advantages, Bc 1) MT says it won't break glass with the orings in place, this is a flat out lie, sorry @maxjitter a spade is a spade, it broke my adapter. Haven't had a problem with silicone since, even use the adapter it cracked, and no problems so far. Even saying it won't break anything with the extra silicone would be a wrong, bold statement IMO. 2) You can manipulate the silicone by folding it below the bottom of wpa making a double layer below the wpa (to create a "movable" plug for combustion bowls etc), or fold above the bottom (creating a double layer around wpa, which comfortably fits my 18mm female joints). Or just letting it hang a little past the end I can fit comfortably in both 14mm female as well as over 14mm DI and inside 18 DI. Bc it's so easy to manipulate the Lotus it is becoming my FAVORITE vape, I never expected it in a million years but I've honestly used the LSV about 25% or less the past few weeks. I am infatuated by a 5-7 inch glass Sherlock that has made my appreciation of this vape soar to its highest peak! Thanks @maxjitter you have made this guy one happy camper!In honor of winter fading away I decided to go all Frosty the Stoned Man style yesterday......
Found this Corn Cob Pipe at a local store for $3.99 and thought hmmm...
So at first I just threw in a 18 to 14 reducer and tried it this way....
I could not believe the smoothness and vapor that followed. I really was just going to throw this up as a joke/homage to this thread and old man winter, but after that first try I decided that I would see what I could do to make it better.
I whittled away at the bowl so that the 18-14 reducer would fit in nice and then threw a small piece of high temp silicone tubing over the adapter to make a nice seal around the top. Now I can see the lotus nicely for lighting and the thing hits just as nice as the aluminum stem. (Even better with that homemade feeling you get!)
Cannabic Creativity at its finest.
Now I am off researching better corn cob pipe options that offer filter-less removable bent stems and standard 19mm chambers (bowls). So now I have VAS, GAS, and CCPAS (Corn Cob Pipe Acquisition Syndrome)....
It never ends.....
damn, damn, damn. That is fucked up and amazing at the same damn time...lololol...good thing i like collecting good portables...so sounds like this will be a good purchase.
After tuning up my torches my LOTUS flavor wise is pretty outstanding.
Since you did a review on the PLENTY I feel the LOTUS is a good little VAPORIZER. I still grab a SOLO in the middle of the night to curb my insomnia. I have some extremely tasteful INDICA and it will knock you out regardless of the vaporizer. The LOTUS was used for my afternoon session and just put me down for the count were my SOLO I can still function.I have only had the Lotus a short time, and it is actually taking over as an at home driver as well
I never thought it would take over the S&B Plenty's spot, but it is so easy to just pack 1.5 scoops and hit it.
I also just did another clean, and it hits so well when cleaned out. I find it gives a much more even roast to the ABV when clean.
Plenty is still my favorite home unit, but will now be reserved for multi person sessions instead of being my solo unit. I do find the Plenty's coiled whip feels much cooler than the aluminum stem IMO, but I expect the Lotus will be far gentler on my throat [than the Plenty] after getting the WPA.
For the first time in over a year, my Plenty is unplugged and in a drawer.
My Lotus is now in the #1 spot on the coffee table
It is awesome with the Pvhe turbo gong. It also has a much finer screen now. The o-ring makes the seal, with out it you do not get much of any thing at all. I like my mod a lot since I only use my lotus on glass pieces and the gong is a lot better then the stock metal WPA.
@Berry~ Thats a nice setup I previously had not seen
I guess if you can source the right size glass and o-rings, going glass would make sense. I imagine the glass cools equally as well, if not better than the aluminum.
Is there any particular way you got the metal ring out of the cap?Running a straight glass out of Loreena (lotus) all the way to my mouth has the best flavor and easiest for cleaning.
I do not believe in byproducts or reclaim any more and Im all about flavor so all glass is my preference.
Shine of super clean glass always dazzles the ladies along with an extra sexy torch and Loreena will bed you the finest heady damsels you will ever meet.
Here we have Loreena (lotus) making sweet morning time love to shelly (sheldon beaker).....they saw fireworks together!!!!
I used the LOTUS 3 days in a row since I fine tuned my lighters.Running a straight glass out of Loreena (lotus) all the way to my mouth has the best flavor and easiest for cleaning.
