It's been two months since I got my first Lotus and it has become my favorite device. It has even managed to replace my Vaporbrothers VB1 at home, which I didn't expect at all. The taste and user experience is just superb. If I had to choose just one vape to take with me on a desert island, it would be the Lotus.
I wasn't a big fan of butane powered vapes before (I also own several Dynavaps), since it's an expendable resource that needs to be managed and replinished, but the Lotus seems to have changed my mind.
Another big plus for me is how easy it is to clean: I just put the adapter and the glass pipe in the dishwasher once or twice a week and that's it, good as new every time. No prolonged cleaning sessions with isopropanol, another expendable resource (I'm looking at you, Dynavap).
Btw, if you are like me and don't like the branding on the official glass pipe; run it through the dishwasher a few times. The black paint will come off gradually and leave a faint transparent version of the logo, which is much more reasonable to my minimalist sensibilities.
Finally one tip for Lotus newbies: your primary method of temperature regulation is the flame length/intensity of your torch. Stop heating the cap when it starts to glow. If you can't get your material to a dark roast without a glowing cap, increase the flame instead.
