Finally recieved my lovely purple pouch in the mail this week! This might be a long post as I tend to ramble when I get enthused about things
.. But I'll try to keep it short and focus on my impressions since there's already +400 pages of detailed glowing reviews!
My first impression on unboxing my Burl OmniVong was; "That's all?".. in a good way! I couldn't believe how small and light it felt; could practically tuck this thing behind my ear! (in fact I just did) Yet at the same time the wooden body adds a solid, cool density that perfectly foreshadowed the premium vapour that was to come.
I didn't have any issues with the first use of my Omni. Dynavap included printed instructions which I followed; had me blowing tasty clouds in a few minutes. I found it easy to get tasty low temp hits or cough inducing clouds in my first sessions; there didn't seem to be any finicky tricks to getting good results.
After experimenting with the carb hole and variable mouth piece I dialed in my preferred draw in my first night of use, wasn't difficult for me at all. I didn't put much thought into how I applied the torch but it seems I was using the same method George recommended in the video above, so that's a plus! I think you could probably get good results no matter how you apply the heat as long as you respect the click and pay attention to your draw speed though.
This VapCap is a seriously powerful piece of engineering. It has everything I like about a product. Not just vapes, I mean products in general. It's durable, efficient, aesthetically pleasing, modular, and constantly being improved upon. It feels much more like a vaping tool than a new toy to me. Many vapes seem to end up feeling toyish to me after the honeymoon wears off, and they can often end up actually being less useful by trying to add unnecessary extra "features". The VapCap does away with any gimmicks or marketing "features", goes straight for effect. I definitely feel if you're a dedicated vaper you should have something like this in your arsenal.
I also absolutely love the transparency in the design. Each part can be individually replaced and has an explanation posted by the developer for why it was designed that way.. This is the type of attitude I have typically only encountered in the maker/3D printing community; it is a true breath of fresh air to feel that positive forward thinking attitude coming from a company when purchasing a new product.
Here she is with the Burl Dynastash I got to house her
The stash has lots of neat little natural cracks all over it. Personally I really dig it but my one buddy did comment that he thought it would have looked better without the cracks. BUT, you can't really tell from the pic, but around those cracks the Stash has this really cool raised and warped texture from the Burlyness; feels fantastic. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
The back side even has a little hole in it near the bottom! At first I was kind of bummed about it since it does go right through the stash. But if you look inside the chamber it lets a little light into the Vap garage so you can see the wood inside.. man it's cool. Can't really get a good pic of it but I'm just fine with the hole because of that feature. Also makes it more unique.. won't ever be another one EXACTLY like mine.
Just a close up of that sexy Burl body..
This is how I prefer to use my OmniVong. I don't feel any need for a hemp filter when using it through water, and watching the thick vapour pour into the glass is very satisfying.. Something about it all coming from that little stick just seems even more impressive.
One last pic of my entire christmas haul; cuz I finally figured out how to post them today
Hopefully I didn't breach any etiquette by making this page eating post or including other vap pics... I know you can embed the images in different ways, but I prefer being able to see them in people's comments so that's how I included them in mine. If I could improve please let me know as this is my first ever forum post with pictures
Anyway.. I'm off to order a full Ti Omni. I don't think my life will be complete until I get one with a custom engraved cap like the rest of you cool kids..
