This is probably the rarest vape I own, a Gen 2 black limba JDV.

From posts in their discord, it looks like REFC will be bringing back the JDV soon with some improvements!

    • Gooseneck torches are 100% necessary for a lotus vaporizer

    • Torch control is CRITICAL for the Lotus. I personally found that moving the torch in a figure-8 pattern was optimal to heat the center without over-heating the device.

    • If you are using a grav-labs or similar j-hook, add a pinch of water to the crook of the hook - it adds a natural percolation that really enhances the sesh while adding a soothing percolation sensation and helping you monitor your draw speeds more precisely.

    As much as I enjoy butane powered devices, I’m honestly too lazy to use them on a daily basis lol. Unless I’m trying to take a t-break from my other devices.

    Currently I’ll admit I am using my 2020-M which was personally gifted to me by George (founder of Dynavap) at a trade show (Champs) - we go way back to the inception of his business when we both were kicked off paypal in the same month and sharing notes on how to secure payment processing for our businesses.

      Could you link the kind of torch you’re talking about? I think I got my heating pattern down pretty well although I just draw circles. Seems to extract evenly, I just need a torch that holds its flame length consistently basically.

      Dyna is one I keep coming back to. Sometimes I barely use it at all for while, then it’ll find it’s way back into the daily rotation. Vapman was also in my daily rotation for a good while. But I feel you on the laziness, I’m happy that I got some good electronic options to fall back on when I’m not in the mood to fuck around with a torch, as much as I do love my butane vapes.

      All that said - I’m now in the mood for a nice little Dyna half bowl wake and bake 😁

        I started with circles on my Lotus, but I found a figure-8 pattern seemed to let me get a more uniform extraction.

        Lol yeah vape tolerance is a real thing - it’s good to switch up daily drivers a few times a year.

        Cheers as I light up my Vapcap as well lol
