The Lotus Vaporizer

[llamaman001]

are you vaping dry or with the water attachment?

WPA through my Devastator. It really helps to be able to see the vapor production.

Initial impressions of the Lotus just out of the box:

• Awesome build quality everything looks and feels amazing
  
• WPA/Lotus Cap fits my low profile reducer without alteration to stir stick
  
• Works IRL just like I imagined it would, very straight forward

So this was my first hit off any flame vape ever so to find success on the first try is fantastic. Yes I packed the bowl a bit too much and the browning was a tad uneven but it milked my Devastator on the second hit, first try was flavor country. So I am very impressed and only see things getting better as my technique improves. Excellent job @Max Jitter

Congrats, Thats another reason i love the lotus so much, I can pass it to a noob and even they got good ass hits with no learning curve, once I show them the technique they freak out like " How could this vape get any better"

The lotus is on my christmas list! really looking forward to trying the latest revision. My lovely lady and I loved the first one we had with the WPA so much we used and abused it heavily until the plate on top cracked.... I miss it dearly, it was so kind to us! Us not so much to it.

Any chance of a festive season FC discount coupon Max?

you just missed a black friday deal, hopefully soon they will be another one.
On a side note I hear massdrop is in work to bring the lotus for a discount, the plate is replaceable now,not sure if you were aware ($15).

Yep, I got in during that sweet Black Friday deal.
Can't wait to get my natural-finish Lotus, water adapter, j-hook, scoop, and screens.
I have some really high hopes for this thing.
To be honest I'm kinda getting tired of my Solo.
And I know the Lotus won't DIE on me... leaving me vapeless!.. like my Solo did last month.
I'll be pairing it with the piece I won from PhotoRider last night > Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

Congrats on the win, hope your lotus arrives soon so you can get to testing with the new piece lol lol

sorry to hear about your j-hook natural farmer! i have been having my eyes on this one:

http://www.bitfreakglass.com/access...teve_Bates01_14mm_Sherlock_Mouthpiece_$55.jpg

but couldn't justify the expense, as i have a working one... but this is the perfect hook to go with the lotus design imo


as for the comparison with the cloud: i have not used my cloud one single time since getting the lotus, not even once lol it's gonna go up in the classifieds soon - just want to keep it around for the new years eve party

thanks for turning me on to the lotus natural farmer!

This one looks really thick but I don't like the styling so much…

This has my eye as possible good w/Lotus

This one on the other hand… I wonder how thick it is. Can we ask? And could someone buy it for me after I send him/her the money and ship it to Greece with USPS? Or do they ship to Europe?

EDIT: they do ship to Europe but it is kind of pricey… I will make do with the amazing al stem for the moment…

Congrats to all the new owners! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Also, @Max Jitter are the J-hoks back in stock and how thick are they?

 

[Unisonruss]

If anyone buys this piece, please post here and let us know how it is with the lotus. I like the style of it. Also, does anyone know if it stands on its own straight up, or if you have to lay it down? I would love to find a Sherlock that stands up on its own, bowl-up.

My Cane Gun from Black Leaf did but it cracked yesterday from thermal shock… Not very nice...

EZVapes 20 percent off still in effect! Great service!!!!!!

Well, that's awesome. Because I thought that was BF only kind of deal. Because I thought it was a great deal, and I mulled it over and thought I missed a great chance. However, I just jumped on it, and I can't wait to finally own a Lotus. I've wanted one since I first heard about it, but I had LB and it was good enough. I really wanted it after my buddy got one.

Also, because Winter break is coming up, I figured I could play with it a lot during that time instead of waiting for Massdrop's shipping to arrive in Feb.

Soon...

 

[CheeseSandwich]

I used EZvapes as well. So far so good, they shipped monday and if I didn't live in a small town I would have had it today I think. C'mon monday!

We should have more J hooks in stock next week. We will be selling those from Grav Lab, which are the traditional shape. They are thicker than some I've seen but not as thick as those from Black Leaf. Black Leaf would have been nice but they are in the EU and shipping costs would have been too high.

I posted earlier in this thread a picture of the new j-hooks that were being sold from MT website. I'll re post it here:

As for thickness and durability, its pretty thin and very brittle. This is what happened after a 14" fall off of my lap onto the carpeted floor...

So yeah, still on the lookout for a durable j-hook.

Just got my black friday order from MT in today! I have a question for you @Max Jitter! Is there a lotus V3?! I got my new cap in today and noticed a few difference. I have some side by side pictures to show as well.

The new cap is on the left, old on the right. Immediately I noticed the longer stir rod and the inclusion of a patent number on the metal in the top pic. On the top of the lotus cap my old one has this triangle inside the circle as you can see in the picture, while the new cap does not. I'm wondering what revisions each of these is and what other features might be "under the hood" of the new cap!

Well I missed out on the discount deal but I finally took the plunge and ordered a short stem/natural cap w/ WPA (#740).

Looking forward to using this next week and comparing it to my current vapes. I used to have a vaporgenie and I am thinking I am really going to like the superior design of the Lotus.

Sweet, Thank you!!
See Fc members are so quick to help a fellow Fc'r out!!!

If your in need of one put up a "want to buy" ad in the classifieds. Within 48 hours I had to 2 offers and stuck a deal for a near brand new unit with the glass j-hook, the aluminum mouthpiece, the WPA adapter and extra screens all for 90 shipped. I did the same thing when I wanted a pax and had lots of offers very quickly. This community is great.

We have Grav Labs J hooks in stock now (as of this morning). Hopefully they are sturdier than the ones we had been selling, which we bought from various websites. I drop tested the Grav Lab J hook onto a carpet from 3 feet, with the WPA and vapor cap attached. It didn't break no matter which end of the J hook touched first. I then tried the same test above a linoleum floor at a 14" height. I then tested a broom and dustpan. Carpeted floor yes, linoleum floor no.

Yeah I wouldn't expect much glass of anything to survive on linoleum. What kind of carpet was the test on? My carpet is the tight woven kind so its not super bouncy but does have some impact absorption because multiple glasses have fallen off my desk and stayed alive. That older J-hook was just really delicate. I'm glad you were able to find some sturdier models, I might buy another one if the pricing is good. It would be cool if we could have a picture or two of the current j-hook too.

Can't wait to receive my new Lotus ordered from EZVAPES. They didn't have the natural wood version I wanted, so I'm waiting for them to get their new shipment, hopefully next week. I did, however, receive my water tool adapter from MT/Lotus, and I can tell you it is a quality piece! Wish I had ordered some extra screens... I think I'm going to order the Black Leaf Inline Diffuser to go with it http://www.planetvape.ca/black-leaf-inline-diffuser.html. Will keep you all posted with a review and some pics.

I have the black leaf nautilus inline that I have been using for 2+ years now as my vaporbong. Nice piece for the $ and I really like the inline diffusion, not too little and not too much, just perfect for vapor. I've banged it around quite a bit and the glass is solid, the weak point is the inline diffuser itself but I have had good luck so far with mine.

Glad I picked up the extra screens for $2, just one less thing to worry about.

I definitely am interested in what people think about the Lotus vs Solo comparison. The solo was the only other vape I was considering right now but I decided that I liked the simplicity and zombie apocalypse reliability of the Lotus more and the solo was probably fairly similar to my Rockzap with the milkshake like draw.

 

[wisherly]

I'm waiting for a backordered natural finish lotus from EZVapes too, and a WPA. Hopefully next week.

Those are some nice j-hooks above. I'm thinking of using my lotus in my $40 infamous bubbler, dry or with water. This is going to be fun trying out stuff with the lotus.
