My Lotus is from 4-5 years ago. It is not the daisy shape hot plate but looks like the current silver model.
I guess I'm confused with the progression of the hot plate. I know they offered a high temp for concentrates plate but now offer one type of functional hot plate.
My question would be: Is it a functional upgrade to replace my older plate with the $15 hot plate replacement on the website? My plate seems to be in great shape and is only discolored and no apparent degradation.
I used the wpa the other day and enjoyed the session. The alum stem used to be my DD several years ago. It was more about getting away from the torch that put it on the back burner. It is a wonderful vape and I have had much more success with it than the vapcaps. Even though there is no click, I had less combustion with the Lotus. Although when you do overd0 it, you know it. Smoke billows out of the tiny airholes like a steam locomotive.
and
@ataxian and I still believe they have one of the best wpa designs out there.
No dropping and breaking that mother fucker. You could run a Peterbilt over it.
edit: Just picked up one of those G43 healthstones from Bud. WTH, always looking to try something different.
