The Lotus by Vapman is the big brother of the original Vapman. This is a torch heated convection (hot air, not hot surface) vaporizer which provides some of the best flavour we've come across and the best bit, it works just as well with herb as it does with dabs! The Lotus can be used on the go when paired up with a glass J-hook Pipe (14mm) or placed into a 14mm water tool/bubbler and used as a desktop setup.
Like most torch heated setups there is a small learning curve in terms of the heating method and times, but it's very simple to learn and well worth this minimal effort this takes. The best way to use the Lotus is by heating the central plate only with a small single flame torch lighter, we suggest using the Vapman Jet Lighter. We will link the Lotus how to enjoy page here and put simple advice below, follow these points and it's hard to go wrong!
- Use a small single torch lighter, we suggest sticking to the Vapman Jet Lighter if you're unsure on which lighter to use or if yours has a larger flame
- Load your ground herb into the chamber
- Replace the Lotus cap
- Heat the central plate of the Lotus and only the central plate for around 10-12 seconds
- Keep the torch moving around the plate in a spiral motion, in, then out, so that you don't overheat one part of the plate, never hold the torch flame still in one spot
- After heating, start your inhalation to vaporize the material inside
- Once you get the knack of this it's possible to continue heating for a bit as you inhale for those super roasty toasty hits, if that's your thing!
- When you stop inhaling the material inside will stop vaporizing due to the convection heavy design
- When you're finished vaping, remove the Lotus cap and use the attached debowler to empty the contents
- Reload and repeat as desired!
If you'd like to use your Lotus with dabs, simply install the concentrate pad into the chamber, pop a little dab on top, then follow the above heating instructions! The concentrate pad can also be used with high grade hashes which don't contain particulate matter (bits). As with all concentrate pads these have a limited lifespan and will eventually need replacing, however their lifespan can be extended by soaking in ISO overnight, rinsing them thoroughly with hot water, then leaving them to dry. When they're dry you can torch heat them for good measure, just to ensure that any ISO or water trapped inside is burned out.
That's it! A truly brilliant little handmade artisanal vaporizer!

Cleaning
- While it's warm you can use a Q-tip to remove any residues from in the chamber and inside the Lotus WPA
- For a full clean allow to fully cool
- Remove the Lotus Cap
- Soak the Lotus WPA and Glass J-hook Glass you're using in cleaning solution
- The Super Soaker by Elev8 is a great container for safely soaking these parts while retaining the ability to re-use your cleaning solution after by decanting it back into the bottle without a mess!
- After soaking, remove from your cleaning solution, rinse with warm water and leave to dry!
Please note there is no mouthpiece/stem currently available from Vapman for use without glassware but this should be coming later in the year.
Also... please note that some of the Lotus and Lotus WPA cases have dark marks or residues on them, as received from Vapman. We wanted to point this out now as it will certainly be noticed by customers too!
