The Lotus is a Breath of Fresh Air Film goers are currently suffering through the worst case of franchise sequel fatigue ever. Just the same concepts redrawn again and again. Now produced by the respected creators of the Vapman, the second coming of The Lotus is as exciting as the first crane kick of The Karate Kid. Handmade by a small team of artisans in the rolling hills of Italy, the tender care put into this device is evident from the word go. The Lotus is a butane vaporizer, but it works in an unexpected and unique fashion. The Lotus has been designed so that it’s heated while inhaling, but the airpath is completely isolated from the butane flame. How? To enjoy the device, simply aim your torch at the centre point of the lotus flower on the Vapour Cap then start inhaling. You can exhibit incredible control over the temperature and speed of the vaporization with your own breath and the native heating technique. A Butane Vaporizer with an Isolated Airpath Ok, so why is this a big deal? When in use, the airflow comes from underneath the Vapour Cap, which is where the flame is aimed. So, you’re heating up the top, and your airflow comes from the bottom, giving true separation of church and state.  This results in pure convection vaporization and that is uncommon not only in butane powered vapes but especially ones with isolated airpaths. Simple to Use, Simple to Upkeep We love the usability of The Lotus; it’s just so easy to pick up and learn compared to a lot of butane vapes that require fine tuning and trial and error. The separation of the heat and airpath also makes it incredibly difficult to scorch your flower. The Lotus is made of two main parts, the aforementioned Vapour Cap, where the magic happens, and the Water Pipe Adapter (WPA) that will act as your bowl. The Vapour Cap has a built-in arm that easily stirs your bowl and connects securely with a magnet. The WPA works natively with a 14mm joint, so you could use something like the included J-Hook to use The Lotus dry or connect to any 14mm water piece if you like to get wet. The Lotus Bloomed its Way Into Our Hearts Not only is The Lotus known for flavourful, powerful hits, it’s also one of the most enjoyable vapes to use that we’ve tried in years. Let yourself fall under the spell of The Lotus; you won’t regret it when its magical capabilities turn it into your daily driver.
