I wanted to try this out as soon as I saw it, and I'm so glad I got myself one. It's a really nice looking piece made in multiple layers, nothing looks cheap about it, and it most certainly does the job once you figure out your best routine, or ritual, cause that's more what it feels like to use the lotus. Touching the glass, the wood, the metal, breaking it down to clean it to reassemble it to breathe smoke from it...the 4 elements are definitely involved in using this vaporizer. The vapor it produces is extremely thick and tasty. It took me about 4 tries to get the knack down, after twice not heating it enough for no vapor and twice so hot I combusted a lot of it and had to clean it immediately, but lesson learned. I'm good with it now and couldn't be happier for real. I have a ton of e-rigs for dabs and a bunch of DHVs, desktop and portable, but smoking from the Lotus takes md back to sharing a bowl with a friend, and the ritualistic aspects of that relationship, and its definitely a nice feeling. Thanks for suggesting it Jay, and thanks again for all your help with my endless questions and emails. If you're thinking about a vaporizer you use with a torch, I'd most definitely recommend giving the Lotus bundle a try. I'm so glad I did, and I'm certain you will be too.
