The Kaloud® Lotus® I+
The Heat Management Device that changed the game. Created by Kaloud in 2014, the Lotus® features a removable top and adjustable vents to allow for precise heat transfer. Keeping the lid off will produce the least amount of heat, having the lid on with the vents open delivers medium heat, closing the vents will create the most heat.
