Any news on those magnetic WPAs @Max Jitter?

Thanks :D

I have been using the WA as is for some time now and my take on this is that I prefer it with no magnets. Why would we need magnets? As soon as the vapor cap is lifted, vaporization stops and you can clear whatever glass you are using. Why lifting the WA as well? I think I would find it bothersome having to separate the cap and the WA after lifting and clearing... If magnets eventually appear I would love an option without. What about an 18mm WA instead? ;)

Here's the new WPA. Just one magnet on it and it's still almost too strong. We haven't had a chance to put the photo up on the website yet.

So... Does the new WA stay attached to the vapor cap when you lift it to clear?

Sometimes. :) I have no idea if there is a scientific basis for this observation or not, but it seems like the WA is more likely to stay attached to the vapor cap when it's not hot. Once I've taken a few hits, it's much less likely that the magnet will support me actually lifting the WPA with the vapor cap to clear the bubbler.

Here I was...my mind set on buying LSV. I tell myself...'I'm too tired now..will buy in the morning'...and I dream about a vaporizer that was barely in my conscious brain..this one! so I was walking around this park..and I was vaping with the Lotus attached to a green ice ball that was glowing..and I exhaled and the smoke rose up and filled the sky...I woke up and I realized - There is no way I can buy LSV now...

So here I'm - I have a question for you pipe owners, does using the pipe make most of you go in huge cough spreeees? harsh vapor? I know it's a personal thing but still...experiences?

I was just gonna get the Lotus with the water adapter. For months only been vaping with water here <<<<< but I kinda like the idea of walking in a park with the pipe now...

Vaping is a way of life!
Iam so stoked , soon to be a lotus owner. Thank's you all for the awesome reviews and videos.
I traded with an awesome fellow FC member (Thanks Brotha) and should be receiving my WPA Lotus on monday.
Cleaning out my Glass pieces in preparation for this bad boy, the anticipation is killing me!:whip:
Expect some reviews but more importantly some video's of me milking and taking this bad boy to the max.
I have read all 49 pages so far to keep myself well informed on the do's and dont's.

:party::spliff::popcorn::cheers:

the thing about the Lotus is once you get used to it, you can just about produce the kind of vapor you want - sometimes i like softer hits; other times i prefer hitting the pipe for a big hit which though harsher comes w thicker clouds (in which case i hit thru a bubbler or if i am using the pipe, i use the "mouth-bubbler w ice" technique). play around with your Lotus, it's quite adaptable!

p/s -bear in mind, if it get too hot, you can still combust but you'll be aware of how close you are to the edge after your 'settling-in' period.

So not even a month after receiving my j hook kit and this happens.

The lotus slipped off my lap while I was sitting down and fell about 1ft onto the rugged floor. I was pretty shocked and disappointed that it broke so easily. :/ Luckily I still have my bong I can use with the WPA but I no longer have a portable vaping solution until I order another stem from the lotus website.
Sad day.:cry:

That sucks you can get a new j hook for $10 shipped on ioffer ... probably less than half the price after you pay shipping to lotus

sorry 'bout your damage, sneech, but at least the lotus is still alive and a j-hook is easily replaceable. (hope u get your replacement soon.)

on a brighter note, here's a shot of my Lotus set-up with the pinnacle wt (using some silicon and a 14mm adapter) when i travel.

haha, i overpaid for the PnWT in my impatience (cost me about usd90 i think, way before d discount) but everytime i use it, i don't feel so bad anymore :) . you can still get it at about usd75. imho, it goes really well with a lotus. here's a shot with jhook & ice :rockon:

That looks sick, I am still a little confused on how your attaching the bottom of the pinnacle to the al stem or j hook. It also doesn't seem that comfortable to hold it like that while toking, but you could just be holding it like that for the pic.

oh yeah, sorry mate. the glass adapter (around my palm area) doesn't show up very well on picture. here it is. I'm using it with soft silicon (me thinks less chance of the thing 'popping' out than using hard silicon) and just attach to the stem or jhook. As for comfort, i started out concentrating on holding/not dropping my PnWT (u can see in the earlier pic i always got my thumb & index finger around the PnWT) and just leave the jhook/stem on the tabletop as i fire it up. Nowadays though, i carry it around hitting it just like that cause i'm used to the weight of the set-up already. no problemo!

The main warning i want to repeat is if you don't attach the silicon properly and it pops out half-way (through excess bending or what not), you may drop something!

Is that J-hook from PV mate?

I got this one some days ago from "head - nature"
ibukoXhNOf9MJG.JPG


but the mouthpiece is kind of low and I can barely see the hot plate…
iXs1EpPcVqMl9.JPG


Nevertheless, I can't seem to be able to leave it from my hands!!! :p

The Lotus and the J-hook definitely gives the best vaporizing experience I've ever had since I started this amazing trip! Period. :love:

I have settled on taking short, slow speed/high temp hits since the J-hook gives such great visual feedback and I am being able to keep the great taste to the end and with a very uniform ABV. I feel that by doing this I get smaller, full spectrum hits, without overheating the load, which my body apparently finds easier to absorb, I exhale less vapor and overall I just get higher with less! :)

Now, and by using the Lotus like this, I can definitely say that the taste lasts longer than with my Solo and the hits are more potent as well. :tup: @ataxian??? R u listening? Still haven't ordered one?

I wonder if there is any other convection vape that can give such instant high-heat hits without cooking the load in between and at the same time being so portable, small, so durable and with such a great taste and clean air/vapor path… Is there such a vape except the Lotus? :shrug: Hmmmm… Nope? I guessed so… :lol:

A question for some long term lotus users. Have any of you all had to replace the heating plate or the screens for any of your lotus vaporizers or WPAs? I do love this thing so much and would just like to know how well it holds up with continuous use over time. Would a spare cap, extra screens, or a replacement heating plate kit be a good idea? This thing seems so sturdy that as long as you don't mess it up yourself it seems like it should be fine.

I picked up one of these lighters at a local pipe store, the tank is awesome. With the lighter from the kit I had to refill everyday since the Lotus is my daily driver, but now with this "Xing" lighter its every 3-4 days.

I've had my Lotus for 4 months and the screen is starting to fall apart at the edges, I'm thinking about possibly just cutting a pipe screen to fit in there. My plate is discolored but thats normal, doesn't seem like it will need replacing any time soon.
