I've got an aluminum stem that's been sitting in my parts drawer for a few years now. I found that it worked okay, but I'd personally welcome the return of the Vaporscope. The inclusion of the WPA should make it easy to find a j-hook to use in the short term but if what they did with the Vapman is any indication, I imagine they'll be offering a wide range of stem options in different materials at some point.
If we are making new product suggestions, I'm wondering if something like the
Inductor by
@Camouflet can be used or at least modified to work with the Lotus and Vapman. Only having watched the video in the thread, it seems to me like a flameless induction torch for all intents and purposes, at least when applying it to a vape scenario. Along those lines, a Lotus "Station" or maybe even a Station 2.0 that does both is an interesting prospect.
