thank you, really, for motivating me by animating this thread!

Friday, for my quiet time slot, I favored the Okin...
and since receiving the Vapman Click, it takes up quite a bit of space in the "ritual vape" slot.

But I like the Lotus, I like my pipe. I love vaping my pipe!

I am in a better mode than before using it!!







Have a nice Lotus Sunday everyone!!
 
Hi friends! I’m pretty set functionally with my desktop vape and tm2, so i’m playing around with high ritual vapes that dont really need to be convenient on the go etc. i’m looking for a ritualistic throughout the day sipper and it looks like the lotus might be great for that!

I tend to err on the side of safety so i love that the lotus mitigates butane exhaust inhalation. I have a question about materials. The vapman site lists the wpa as made from stainless steel. Azzwood lists the wpa as being made of titanium.

Does a titanium lotus wpa exist, or has one ever existed?

Inhale lists the materials as stainless steel and olivewood on the kit page. i can’t find it right now but i thought a different page on the inhale listed aluminum as an ingredient in the lotus cap.

Can someone confirm for me the materials used in the lotus cap and wpa? Which of these materials are in the cold air and hot air paths? Are those colored disks around the heating plate aluminum? if so are there any concerns about heating aluminum indirectly and inhaling the fumes when air passes through the heat exchanger?

I am not looking for perfection here, i want to know what my tradeoffs are for this device.

My last question is on the availability of the fancy woods like purpleheart. Thats the one that is most appealing to me, and seems to be down to buying the parts separately. Should I expect that the PH is limited and wont come back and if i want one i should make it happen now?

Thank you in advance!

Hey,

The wpa is stainless steel. I don't know about the titanium WPA but the lotus attaches magnetically to the WPA so a titanium one won't stick to the magnet of the cap.
The heating plate is made of nickel. And the ring that holds the plate is aluminium (anodized if colored).
