I just remembered another thing:
One thing that tipped the scale towards the Vapman for me was the fact that you have to torch the Lotus as you draw. I really like the way you torch the Vapman and then draw afterwards.
This ritual is much more natural on the Vapman, in my opinion.
This is actually one of the few things that still hold me from getting a Vapman…
I think I prefer heating as I draw cause I believe it gives me one more layer of control over the hit. You can start the hit with full heat and then back off or the opposite or any combination needed and the changes in temperature are instant. It gets things more complicated, yes, but it becomes instinctive after a while anyway so…
Yes, I am not entirely convinced about the heating first, drawing after thing yet.
I have a few more things that worry me about getting a Vapman but I am working on them. I guess in the end I will just get it cause it's very very beautiful and see how it goes from there…
