OwMell Lotus Backflow Incense Holder, Brass Waterfall Incense Burner

Awesome backflow incence burner! Just a few key tricks. When you get it it comes with tweezers, and this TINY plastic tube that I think is supposed to be connected between the incence burner backflow opening, and the hole drilled into your incence. Don't lose the tiny plastic piece! Heat the brass by burning incence or use a heat gun or something before trying to get the tube into the hole. Its made to be really jammed in tight, and mine at least didn't fit until I heated up the burner. I'm not going to take off a star for this, but I wish they had shipped that little tube piece glued in place. Not a hard thing to replace or DIY on your own, just saying, it feels like something easy to lose that should be secured with glue or tapped into place before shipment. Second thing. If the incence hole isn't right in the middle, it's hard to line it up with the tube. You don't really need the tube to get it to do it's thing, but the tube improves how much smoke gets down to the leaf for the hypnotic backflow effect. The tweezers are also helpful for clearing debris if you get pieces of incence in the tube trying to connect it in place, which will black smoke flow. Beyond that, it's an awesome, unobtrusive backflow burner. Very relaxing to watch when it's too cold to go out and you just want to detox from staring at your phone. 100% recommend. It even comes with a super cute gold and white lace doiley thing to set the burner on. I keep a jar with water next to it to toss the ash stubs into.

This is my first backflow incense burner. I actually love how small and unobtrusive this burner is, when it's not in-use it looks like a small trinket and blends in perfectly with my other decor. It functions perfectly. As others have mentioned the smoke will move around if there's a small gust, but I have it in area with low air movement so it's not an issue for me. Because the burner is smaller and less enclosed, the smoke that overflows outside the burner will leave a residue on that surface. It's not difficult to clean-up, and I've placed the burner on a small silicone pad to help catch some residue as well. But I'm fine with this, because I'd rather have an aesthetically pleasing burner than one that is much larger and obtrusive looking. Every 2 to 3 burns I would recommend running the burner under water and wiping out the reside that builds up on the burner itself too.

It’s small, but it is much prettier in person. It is tiny but in person it’s very shiny. The bottom isn’t exactly flat. But for the price it works.

The Context: I was looking for a unique way to burn incense and picked up this vintage brass lotus burner with the frog detail. It’s a significant aesthetic upgrade over a standard wooden incense tray and serves as a cool piece of decor even when it isn't in use. The Performance: The Visual Effect: If you use the specific backflow cones, the smoke "pours" down through the lotus petals like a waterfall. It’s very relaxing to watch and definitely a conversation starter. Material & Build: Being brass, it has a nice weight to it. It feels much more premium and "vintage" than the ceramic versions you often see. The frog detail is well-cast and adds a bit of character to the piece. Aromatherapy: It functions perfectly as an incense holder. The smoke stays contained within the "waterfall" path quite well, provided there isn't a heavy draft in the room. Pros: Unique Aesthetic: The brass finish looks great on a desk or shelf. Durable: Unlike ceramic burners, you don't have to worry about this one chipping or cracking if it gets bumped. Easy to Clean: The brass surface wipes down easily to remove any resin buildup from the incense cones. Cons: Draft Sensitive: To get the "waterfall" effect, the air in the room needs to be very still. If you have a ceiling fan on or a window open, the smoke will just drift away like normal incense. The Verdict: This is a "cool" and functional piece of art. If you enjoy incense and want something more interesting than a basic burner, this lotus/frog design is a fantastic choice. It’s well-made, sturdy, and the smoke effect is genuinely mesmerizing. It was a good price, but did not come with any cones.

I like the idea, it's as small as I need it. But the top part was completely bent. The leadl on the bottom collecting the smoke is supposed to sit flat on the surface you place it on. It's not, the backpart is higher so it sits very unsturdy! And it's also so solid that it cannot be bent into shape like the thicker wire that holds the top parts. I made it work with some ingenuity and placing a rock on the bottom. Not worth the hassle of sending it back.

This is cute, small, and the incense does flow down. It's fun to watch. But it's hard to clean. It gets gummy with residue after 3-4 uses, and the buildup prevents the cone from sitting properly, which prevents the backflow from happening as it should. Needs vinegar or soap and water to clean. I put it away, it's too much trouble.

My mother and I watched this and it hypnotized us. it was so cool and it flowed so nicely. it matches our decor with its bronze coloring. the cone holder itself at the top is a little tight but it works with some wiggling.

It’s pretty but the cones don’t fit, the holder is too small so it doesn’t back flow and the cone isn’t held securely

So cute and works well

As described, a cute incense holder.

Beautiful product, exactly as pictured. A couple of things: . It is actually a little difficult to get the smoke to waterfall properly into the pond. You have to move the neck a little and angle it correctly, but just expect that it won’t flow through the whole time, it’s still gorgeous to look at . Not sure if it applies to all back-flow incense cones, but the ones I used left a dark oily substance behind on the leaf and pond portion. It wipes off with a tissue, just a heads-up to not stain your hands or clothes . I like the brass, it feels a little more high-end than other kinds of ceramic back-flow incense burners

It’s useful for different incense to smell nice around living room for relax during watching on TV.

Arrived crushed but luckily it was hot enough outside that the metal was easy to bend however it was very hard to straighten the inscene holding part / top leaf
