Discovering the Dual Use of Our Blue Lotus Vape Juice

TL;DR: Our alcohol-free blue lotus tincture pulls double duty. You can take it under the tongue like a normal tincture, and because it has no alcohol and the right liquid consistency, it also works as vape juice in pens, mods and rigs. Vaping comes on faster than taking it by mouth, while the dropper is slower and gentler.

This one started with our customers, not us. We made the blue lotus tincture to be used the normal way, and then people started telling us they were running it through their vapes. Enough of them said it worked well that now it's one of the more popular tricks we get asked about at the counter.

Blue lotus in a nutshell

Blue lotus is an aquatic plant known for mild psychoactive effects, and it's been part of cultural rituals for centuries. These days people mostly reach for it because of its calming reputation. Customers describe it as relaxing and clear headed, a soft wind down without feeling foggy. It's gentle stuff, which is exactly why it's popular as an evening plant.

The tincture, used the regular way

Our blue lotus tincture is usually taken sublingually, which just means a few drops under the tongue, held for a minute before swallowing. That's the classic way to use it and it's how most people start. It's easy to measure with the dropper, you can add it to water or tea if you don't love the taste, and it comes on gradually.

We make it alcohol free. That was a choice for taste and for people who avoid alcohol, but it turned out to be the reason the second use works at all.

Turning it into vape juice

A lot of our customers figured out that the same bottle can double as blue lotus vape juice. The tincture has a liquid consistency that works in a vape, and since there's no alcohol in it, it can go into vape pens, mods and rigs. You're not buying two products to get two ways of using the plant.

A few practical tips:

• Use a refillable tank or cart that's made for thicker liquids.
• Prime a fresh coil with a few drops and let it soak for a couple minutes before your first pull.
• Keep the wattage on the low side. Blue lotus doesn't need high heat, and cranking it just burns the coil and ruins the taste.
• Only do this with an alcohol-free tincture. Never put an alcohol-based tincture in a vape.

Why people like the vape route

Vaping blue lotus gets you there quicker. Inhaled, it's absorbed faster than it is by mouth, so people feel it sooner. That makes it easy to take a puff or two, wait, and decide if you want more, instead of waiting around on a dropper dose. The flip side is that it usually fades sooner too. A lot of our regulars keep both habits. Vape when they want something quick, dropper when they want it to last through the evening.

Picking the right way for you

There's no wrong answer here. If you're brand new to blue lotus, we'd start with the dropper because it's easy to measure. Once you know how it feels, try the vape and see which you like. Go slow either way. Give the dropper a good 20 minutes before you decide it isn't doing anything, and with the vape, take one or two pulls and wait a few minutes before going back for more. And if you're on medication or pregnant, check with your doctor before using any blue lotus product.
