Beautiful purchases @Healthierlifestyle (nice nickname also!).

I understand that reading 819 pages takes a bit of time. Luckily there's a really helpful (and much shorter) best of thread with lots of helpful information.

Edit: link to the best of thread:

I appreciate the link!

Hahah I doubt it the others will collect too much dust. But I'm sure this vape will work it's way into the rotation. Got a log vape from underdog for home night use. Along with a zion for my powerhouse portability. A crafty. A vivant alternate. And lastly this vapcap. I think I have a problem

I think I have a problem

No, no. We are completely normal people here.
Those who do not buy Vaporizers by the dozen are the weird ones...

Along with a zion for my powerhouse portability.

So you own a Zion? Fancy a new real-life friend? I am able to travel. Also long distances. No problem at all! I will bring my Milaana and Dynavap collection with me. Family reunification!

So I was away for the weekend with only the Omni and damned if I didn't combust trying to show it to someone else . Yucky evening trying to get rid of stinky taste. Got home yesterday and left everything soaking in ISO, switched to the M but forgot that it doesn't have the screen adjustment feature so ended up vaping 3 times my usual load!!! Luckily, it was Northern Lights . Question, has anyone found an easy way to reduce the chamber size on the M? Both SS and Titanium screens just drop out. I think Doc had an answer involving nuts & bolts but I couldn't get it to work...

@Ricardo :

Adjustable M anyone?

Used two stainless steel Circlips to sandwich the screen in a small bowl position on my M tip. Works a treat!!

To do this you need 8mm INTERNAL Circlips (and possibly some small circlip pliers to help fit them)

Thank you, @mrb a treat, indeed!

Thanks for the above information. I must have missed it first time round... The eBay link doesn't ship to my location but I found a man in Hong Kong . I suspect it will be a fiddly process - un trabajo de chinos, as they say around here

The first Vapcaps used a ceramic screen which just dropped and was secured with a c-clip Like you see in @stark1's reference to @mrb's Link.

You can seat the c-clip easily by dropping it in the using the end of a bic pen to push it into place. Or use a nut and bolt assembly as it will ensure the depth you want by how far you thread the nut over the bolt.

... and presumably, I could place one clip, one screen, one @Squiby de-gummed hemp filter©, a second screen and a second clip..... right?

 

[Mr.Sifter]

Guys how is my AVB? I have the Omni and I’m having some difficulties to get a lot of vapor. I seem to always have to get a little past the click to see vapor. I’m using a triple flame torch.

have you figured it out yet ?
Can realy tell how much herb it is caus of missing size relation.

no huge clouds ?
mmmh

thought this device was so great

Your local hardware stocks them. 8mm C-clips.

It is great....and the overwhelming praise and 800+ pages of posting on FC easily proves it!
His technique is why he is not getting great results.....YET. He just needs to get it down better. There is a learning curve on heating the tip to get different results. Most get it after a few days or sooner if they follow some advise here. Probably my best advice for those whom start using a vapcap.....do not start with a triple or quad torch. You are actually better off with a single....if you get that down and add a double and you can tailor your use very easily.

Then if you want the ultimate experience....you get a @Pipes induction heater and throw away the butane and torches........wait...save the torch for emergencies haaaa

Your local hardware stocks them. 8mm C-clips.

If those c-clips are not stainless s.....or Ti......I for sure would not put in in my tip.

@alex91
Your abv looks fine (as in well roasted)
I never tried a triple torch , maybe hold it a bit further to give the tip more time to heat. I'm thinking a fast click might slow down cloud production?
@Mr.Sifter , I don't get super huge clouds with my vapcap M either , it works good but not great. I am a fan but i do find there is an over hype of the product. I still prefer it over combustion but i am still in the market for a portable vape . If not poor I'd have a Nordicvejp Roots on the way. That seems to give clouds and be a lung buster. Check out the thread and videos .

I do achieve good clouds and get a good glow with the vapcap but its still missing the over the edge buzz I seek. Being away from my bamboo hi log , it sure beats combustion anyways.

Vape clouds aren't always visible and climate/environment temperature seems to play it's role in how much "cloud" is visible. Cloud don't really matter but always nice to see.

Walking and relaxing in one of the most beautiful national parks in The Netherlands. Even the M likes the view:

[Kalessin]

Not sure if you have tried other types of torches....but I found the quads and triples to be over kill...and not work half as good as a single or even double flame torch. Get a single and experiment.....you may find it better as most do. It allows specific heating areas of the cap for varied results.

I find the exact opposite, I hate single and double torches because they are prone to scorching my loads especially the doubles. But with triple and quads I never scorch anything unless the wind is messing me up. I spend a lot of time wondering if differences in people's usage habits are just technique differences, down to minute variations in the vapcaps themselves or differences in the lighters.

@alex91 & @Mr.Sifter, learning to master the vc is all about technique in regards to the lighter you use, where on the cap you heat, bowl packing, herb quality, grind & moisture, how you inhale. If huge clouds are what you want, you just have to find a technique that produces these clouds.

At the bottom of the 1st page & top of the 2nd, you will see heating charts & techniques that might help in your heating/lighter technique: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/best-of-dynavap-vapcap.24345/

And here's the vc lighter thread:

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/whats-your-favorite-torch-or-lighter-to-use-with-the-vapcap.23318/

And don't forget you have 800 pages here to read & you'll get 100s of post on individual techniques.

Learning how to use the VapCap System is kinda personal. If you keep trying to find your method of extraction, all of a sudden it will hit and you will be pulling lungs full every time you try. You have to keep working at it.
The definition of insanity is you keep doing the same thing repeatedly, and expect the results to be different each time. Speaking of insanity, I have this, (insane?), idea that you have to create a negative pressure in the bowl with heat applied to almost combustion temperature, to get milky vapor. You have to reach the boiling point of the vapor to extract it from the herb. If you lower the pressure, you lower the boiling point.The higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point of water. All I'm saying is if you have leaks, (joints, carb holes, loose wongs,) you have to suck harder.
Everybody has their own technique. Your assignment, if you should accept it, is to find your own technique. No one can do it for you. I can't tell you how to do it. I can tell you how I do it, but I'm not you so you have to learn all by yourself, or with someone. My point, the learning is the fun part of the system. Do it yourself.
Ain't no free lunch. Research, research. Read the thread. There is a ton of information on here, I'm not going to read it to you. Good luck have fun learning. Doc

Good post! I think this is highly informative to newcomers with using the vapcap.

My use is mainly in doors in a well controlled environment. So when I see Kalessin's post having the opposite findings as me with usage.....I can see why. I use my vapcap only through water, so my use is not outdoors or when out and about. When I recall trying the vapcap outdoors one day when I was fishing....it was an issue to heat as normal even though it was summer and 75-80 F out.....but with some wind ...problems heating quickly and hot enough were hard to achieve in comparison to when your indoors.


And I will again unabashedly say that this is not even a problem for me anymore as I do not use torches to heat my cap....only electronic heating with a @Pipes heater. I wish everyone that had a vapcap could try one of these induction heaters for just one day......you will be astonished at how much different the use of your vapcap changes and becomes such a better experience. I have mentioned before....using the vape with a torch and using it with induction heating...is is like having 2 totally different vapes.

This. Definitely this. Well said. I wasn't sure about the VCs for the first couple weeks, then BOOM, I figured it out. You will too if you keep at it.

 

[Mr.Sifter]

Mmmh, i think i'll better stick with the mighty although i do not like it very much.
Thought the VC could be an alternative as i am more looking on a reliable cloud onehitter

I’ve just bought the single flame torch and used it and the difference is huge. It’s like another vape. It doesn’t even come close to what I was getting with the three flames. It’s comparable to my Mighty.
