Yeah it is unique compared to other torch vapes, my initial experience was with direct torch convection Daisy, then vapcap heat before hitting, so using the Lotus is a special unique experience with its bit of preheat and then still heating while inhaling... That's why my own has not seen much use, because I didn't have the patience to learn, but as far as ritual experience and effective quality vapor goes, it is worth the effort clearly

The VaporGenie has a similar inhaling whilst torching technique too. Although I think I prefer the form factor of the Lotus, my bronze Sherlock VG isn't far off though 
I love torch powered convection vapes, being able to deliver great vapour quality so quickly is a powerful combo.

Lotus was the only vape where I combusted 3 times on the first day. Had mixed success with preheat and flame. Everything got better the day I tried a dual flame torch and quit preheating. Now I use single flame also and start drawing as soon as the flame hits the plate.It’s all about draw speed after that. Great taste and a favorite in the morning.

If they bring back the female WPAs it opens a whole new world of small vapor rigs built for nails. I'm not sure they're as popular a style as they once were so you can sometimes find them at reduced prices. The flavor is so good:

How much seconds did you preheat before shooting this video?
Awesome clouds!

I disagree according to the clouds volume.
You can't get these clouds without a proper preheating of 5-10~ seconds ..these clouds are huge.. I had to preheat atleast 5 seconds and then inhaling super slow to get these...at least 5.. seconds
I think he even preheated for like 10+ seconds, stopped to starting this video, then inhaled medium-fast (you can hear the draw)

You can't really know from vids. He could have some concentrate in there or keep a part of the vapor in his mouth without passing it through the lungs. That looks a lot thicker when you blow out. In many videos where I see this thick clouds I have this impression also vapor stays close to the mouth like not coming from far above.
But only him can tell...

It is a long time ago that I used my lotus… sold it.. but I can remember that I got big clouds without preheating, but maybe I remember wrong… but I think shaywhitegrow will tell us..
Just weed in there, no concentrate. No preheat, just technique. Took me a minute to get the curve down on this bad boy but after a few tries, like riding a bike.

But the plate was hot from a previous session, right? The plate wasn't in room temp?
Correct. I just did 3 hits prior to that vid with another bowl, dumped, reloaded, then vid so the plate was a Lil warmer then room temp. My garage is cool like 40 degrees in there. Depending on torch size though you can rip it twice as hard with proper technique. Sure is fun and user intuitive.

I knew it. you can't produce such clouds if the plate is at room temp, without preheating. too cold for such volume. the Lotus brings enormous clouds if the plate is hot enough! one of the best vapes I ever owned!

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
Great to hear the Lotus is coming back! I bought my OG back in maybe 2016, and it was my DD for a year. I'll have to dust it off and give it a go. It is a high quality device and the metal wpa was bulletproof.

Oh shit I didn't know that - figured it was blackwood but was just wondering if it's actually just resin like other smoking pipe tips.
Aluminum I'm not into, hopefully they go with an all wood option or someone else makes third party pipe stems.
Hello dear Lotus family
Its Michael & David from vapmanSame as on the vapman threat we will also use here the official lotus account created by the Inventor Steven, Steven has still full access and if he comments he will mark it with his name.
As many of you already know from the statement of Steven the legendary Lotus vaporizer is coming back soon. The Lotus has always been the go to vape for those moments when a heavy, fast and tasty bowl was desired. When we noticed that Steven was retiring, we jumped at the calling and immediately got in touch with him to save this wonderful creation. We have now found an amicable agreement and Steven will soon come to us in Italy to get the production up and running. The official sale of the Lotus starts on july 1. Pre-sales will start in the next days, so if you want to support us you can already get a Lotus with WPA for a well discounted price of 89€. The Lotus is perfect as it is, so nothing will change, only our beloved olive wood will replace the maple wood. Thanks for sharing the love.
Stay tuned! Peace and love - Michael and David
