The Lotus Vaporizer

[ataxian]

Lotus is relaxing in a hostile environment with no sense of threat at all!!!

I took out the glass.

I've been lurking in this thread for about a month and finally bought one today with the water attachment . I can't wait for it to arrive

What are you using the glass screen for?

They work with other stuff however I took this out and it worked better.
I'm still learning how to rough it!

 

[SSVUN~YAH]

For this price I might order two! http://thick-quality-glass.myshopify.com/collections/ash-catchers/sherlock

holy shit thats nice and cheap, cool looking to, nice find

Mine shipped out today, hope it arrives in the UK quickly. Can't wait to get back vaping after a 6 month hiatus.

Now to shop for some glass! Is it wise to buy overseas or is there a likelihood of breakage? As I said previously I have no idea about glass bongs, will the lotus wpa fit any down stem? In fact will it fit an acrylic bong since I have a few of those laying about the house anyway?

The glass is usually packed enough it won't break. I've gotten many glass stuff overseas and it arrived safe.

The lotus wpa fits 14mm gong joints.

Do you live off the grid?

If your living off the grid you need a LOTUS!

You don't need to convince me ataxian, i'm already convinced.

No, i'd like to, but i don't.

That glass sherlock Jhook looks nice, I'm having to resist the urge to do a quick buy, I am really happy with the OGB 14mm stem I picked up a while back, and have a couple of J hooks, but still, that's a great price and looks like the angle will work well with the lotus. Just need a reducer/adapter to use it.

Damn you GAS

**still not in much control over here I went to the site to purchase, and FYI $7.00 minimum shipping for small package, still deciding if I want to pull the trigger.

 

[grokit]

I hear you jam, I decided that if the j-hook ever breaks but for now no.
I use the lotus through water mostly anyhoo.

So… Welcome to the club old sport! I hope your vaping gets even more fun with the Lotus! If I had the budget and lifestyle I would collect vapes as well and wouldn't sell anything. Modern vapes are so fun! Most of them… For the time I have to constrict myself and own just a couple portables, luckily after 3 years I have settled to what I call the golden standards!

I keep using the LOTUS however I keep having to finish with my SOLO.
The SOLO at level 4 in my bubbler is very nice.

Maybe I don't have the technique down however I do not get as good of a result with the LOTUS as the SOLO? Is there some kind of training available?

Show us a pic to see how you pack the load in the Lotus... Also check what size is your flame. It needs to be about 5/8''... The bright part of the flame...

I have a 5/8" flame.
I get the center glowing red.
How long should it be red?
It seems like the first rip was best?
The more I use it the less success I have? Kind of like driving a manual car after driving a automatic!

 

[NeeChee]

The j hook has helped me allot . I can see the vapor than adjust the flame height to keep it going. After using the j hook for a while I have a much better feel for the regular stem even though I can't see the vapor. I have yet to hit the lotus through water yet but that will soon change.

I use between a 5/8"-3/4" flame, angle it slightly and point at the center of the plate with the tip and a little extra of the blue flame hitting it, wait until it glows red, start inhaling at this point, and to maintain the glowing red all you have to do is:
-if it's not red enough: slow down your inhale, and/or put flame a little bit closer to the plate
-if it's too red: inhale faster, and/or pull flame a bit away from the plate

with these techniques I am able to keep a steady read glow, and get thick milky hits. also, for packing: I go up to about half in the bowl (sometimes a bit more), and give it a very slight tamp down

Now was that so hard to explain?
I'll try that!

Sometimes I can get the middle glowing red, but weak vapor. That's when I lower my draw speed and thick vapor will appear in a second.

So try a slower draw, really helps getting that thick hit for me. Don't slow it down too much, that could lead to combustion. Like if you stop your draw for a couple seconds, then inhale slowly, that's how I get combustion usually.

Do you keep the center red while you inhale?

 

[Fenton Mewley]

Do you keep the center red while you inhale?

Yes I do.

I heat the plate for around 5 or 6 seconds, then inhale slowly while keeping the flame near the middle. The plate is usually nicely red, not too bright in the center though.

You made it work!
I got medicated however I need to practice a little more. I think I have
to work on the flavor profile?

Nice!

It sounds like you weren't pushing the Lotus hard enough. I always try to get combustion with manual temp control vapes when I first get them to see how far they will go. Then learn to dial it back. Just like a car, eh? Push it too hard and you burst into flames!

I'm going to try a couple things tomorrow. Need to work on the favor part?

Thank you!
