Thanks, how do you feel the vapour quality and taste compare to others ?
Yea I have seen very good feedback saying the same , I guess maybe it's the shipping (if required) back and forth that is the only thing putting me off , wrong thread I know but love the look of the fw5 and multiple bowls and the feedback regarding performance has also been good ! Maybe I will have to save for both !
A fellow FC member (you know who you are, Mephistopheles!) tricked me into buying a Lotus yesterday night by transferring his VAS to me. He was speaking so enthusiastic about the Lotus and that he was planning to buy one, so that I took a look at it again and could simply not resist placing my order over at Vapefiend.co.uk. Black, hi-temp cap with additional j-hook and water tool adapter.
I never got along too well with the Sticky Brick family because I never stopped tasting the butane, no matter how much I spent on premium gas. The Vapcap and Vapman are really nice, but I wanted some more convection like with the Sticky Bricks. The Lotus should be able to fill that gap easily. I am excited and already see myself in front of the chimney fire this winter, vaping Sherlock Homes style, with my J-Hook and the Lotus. Very Civilized.

I have my dual stem kit arriving tomorrow, I've been meaning to buy the lotus for a while now but have been slow in pulling the trigger.. Really looking forward to this one..The Lotus will, according to the UPS tracking, arrive here tomorrow.
I own so many vaporizers, but for some reason, I was never bursting that much with anticipation. I am really very much looking forward to it. A bit like a child the day before Christmas. I am baffeled that it took me so long to pull the trigger on the Lotus. It theoretically checks so many boxes on my list when it comes to vape pereferences. Aesthetics, on demand, convection, butane driven, pipe-like experience, great with a water tool, big clouds if I want and obviously excellent taste. Maybe I had to buy all those other vapes to finally reach the right destination?
As said, I cannot wait... One night to go. I will report about my experience as soon as it arrives!
Dear Ladies, Gentlemen & Undefined - the eagle has landed!
Short version:
I am in heaven. If you do not own a Lotus yet, get a Lotus. Now.
Longer version:
It's all here. The J-Hook, the black aluminum stem, the Hi-Temp Cap, the WPA, the big jet lighter.
Smooth and fast shipment by Vapefiend.co.uk. Great build quality, everything feels nice & sturdy.
I half packed my first bowl with the aluminum stem and started with a pre-heat of 3 seconds with a following slow draw of around 8 seconds. Very, very tasty - but whispy - cloud. Liked it, but honestly expected a bit more vapor. But I used a small jet lighter that was randomly laying around here and not the one that came with the Lotus. Instantly felt nicely lit and couldn't wait to give it another try.
Next round with the included lighter and - BOY! What a nice thick cloud of tasty vapor! The flame with that lighter was bigger than the one I tried before. I was absolutely sure by the looks that I must had combusted. But no - nice and evenly light-brown ABV. No charring. Yummy.
Then I tried the WPA with a water tool (dry) and later on with the J-Hook. Wonderful experience. I especially liked the J-Hook round. I am so incredibly high right now. The Lotus obviously can take you quite far with moderate amounts of material and for me, as a Sticky Brick, Vapman, Vapcap & Vaponic owner, there was no learning curve. It worked well each and every time, right from the beginning.
So - I am not only high as f*ck right now, I am also utterly bewildered that I did not buy this device way earlier. I am deeply impressed. Thanks to @Max Jitter! What a wonderful invention. And thanks to Mephistopheles - you still know who you are - for transferring your VAS over to me. It was worth it.
Another round, fun ahead! Love at first sight, that seldom happens to me.
