I’m absolute in love with the lotus. It’s giving me fantastic flavor as well as fantastic vapor production. There is a slight learning curve but it very easy to learn and when used on the j hook it’s exactly like smoking a bowl but with vapor production instead of smoke. This piece is very good on a water pipe as well. It seems a bit pricey but I’m so glad that I made the purchase. And as always vgoodies shipped it quickly. Definitely worth the shopping experience.
