The Lotus Vaporizer

[Pcloudy]

I just looked at the pics and it look OG to me. I think the WPA was added pretty quickly but it couldn't have shipped with the first run, I don't think. I don't think I've seen the WPA without a handle (the orings came quickly too, iirc), but the cap doesn't have the metal ring with the patent #, the stirrer, and has the lines on the plate and shiny finish. Looks pristine, did you ever use it?

EDIT: Max introduced the wpa sans handle and orings in Dec 2010:

The Lotus Vaporizer

If you only offer one size I recommend 14mm because the adapter to fit it into an 18mm female doesn't add extra length like the 18 to 14 adapter. http://aqualabtechnologies.com/glass-accessories/glass-adapters/alt-18-14-mm-low-pro-reducer-adapter.html...

Never been used. I got them from someone who bought the pair, read the directions, said too complicated, and put them away for a long long time apparently. It must have been a very small run between adding the wpa and then adding the orings and stir stick.

Someone on the ent exchange just informed me they are probably fakes so I did a little digging and sure enough. When a deal is to good to be true sometimes.

Fake Lotus Vape

I found this counterfeit Lotus a few weeks ago @ http://puffpuffpassit.com/collections/vaporizers/products/lotus It is currently sold out, but was priced at ~$17. The real version costs $104, or more than 6x the knockoff. This should be the 1st clue of a counterfeit: it is very unlikely to find...

Thankfully it’s almost June and soon you’ll be able to buy the real thing.

I didn’t think of them being fakes, but from your pictures I kinda thought the finish on them looked wrong, like it was covered in shallac. Bummer that they’re fakes! I’m surprised at the lengths some people will go through.

Edit - just read about the fakes ridiculous!

Glad people are going to be able to buy new Lotus'

Jeeze, that a lot of bits just to see your Lotus.

I’ve heard too much about this vape to stay ignorant of it any longer. I pre-ordered and hope to get some J-hooks before it arrives.

You won't be disappointed. I think the Lotus is the best of all the butane vapes, at least the ones I've tried. Certainly the biggest hitting of them. That's not to say I don't love my Vapcaps, I certainly do, but this is a much bigger hitter than they are.

So excited to put it on my Milkball! I don’t have many 14mm devices, and most of them have too restrictive of a draw to use the Milkball the way I’d like to. Hoping to transform it from Milkball to Chuggernaut!

As a new convert to the ways of the Lotus myself, you won’t be disappointed. It’s fantastic.

 

[Abele Rizieri Ferrari]

Considering this pre order. The price spike from 90 to 130 is off putting tbh. I'd use it for hash mostly. Would it need something like vape wool to keep clean? I dislike vape wool unless in bowl like setup.

Just made me fill mine and try it--it works pretty well! It's surprisingly open for what it is.

I’ve graduated from vapcaps to Sticky Bricks and butane powered handheld ball vapes, and I’m not necessarily expecting bigger hits than those but certainly an immensely satisfying ritual with an artisan tool. Honestly I’m very excited.

 

[cybrguy]

I've hit Daisies and sticky bricks a few times, and they certainly are big hitters. I always preferred the Lotus conceptually and in reality because the air holes are on the bottom where there is little chance any butane exhaust will get pulled into the airflow. Most people don't seem to be bothered by consuming the butane exhaust so it's only a problem for me, apparently. With a decent quality lighter and high quality butane, it's probably perfectly safe...

I understand the concern and while I’ve chosen to use direct inhale devices, I do appreciate the thoughtfulness and design of the Lotus which does make it unique in this space.

I didn’t double post…do you have someone on ignore or something?

Oh you’re right, I’m a dingus

I wanted a Lotus for years...then I waited too long and they were discontinued. This is why I jumped on the pre-order as soon as I heard about the new re-launch from our Italian friends who also saved the Vapman. I can't wait till these start shipping in a month!

 

[Ramahs]

June is here! The time is counting down!
And, it's Pride Month! All is good

I can't find a j hook pipe like the one from Grav that was supplied years ago with the Lotus the size was 8,26''. Today they are all smaller and the draw is less good, the AquaLab J Hook is the good size but it is wider and too straight.

The TAG one is 8" and slightly less straight:

Hi all, i'm thinking about getting on board for this new drop, but i'm rather sad that it does not come with any stem. What are you guys using apart from J-Hooks? I really like the previous iteration black aluminium stem, does someone know where to find something similar? Cheers!
Edit: I should've check previous messages, i'm dumb.

I can't think of anything very similar, but with the wpa the world is your oyster:

One advantage of the j-hook is that it usually lowers the cap in your field of vision, making it easier to manage. Some stems place the cap too high to see the plate changing color very well. In any case, they have said that they will have a variety of stems as they launch and I can't imagine them not offering the OG stem--seems like people really want them.

 

[bankruptcy]

I see, i'll probably order it and buy some more stems afterwards. I've seen someone mentioned MacQueen pipes and i got interested (there's also a 30% off until the 9th), they have some 1/2" (12.7mm) size bowls, would they fit? barely a mm off should work? maybe even sanding it down a bit will do. Does someone have some news about them?
