Dynavap VapCap

[Squiby]

Hey guys, i've read over here the the tip o rings are not meant to be removed when cleaning, but in the case they broke(if possible?) is it possible to put new in there?

I could use some advice on cleaning my current Dynavap.

Here are some options for cleaning your Vapcap. The orings can be removed or not depending on your preference and level of cleaning required.

@WakeAndVape Just saw your 10/20 review of the Ti OmniVap XL. Great review.

Questions: (1) if I clean my M with Iso-alcohol q-tips and they dry out completely (utterly), will they still detonate and blow me to smitherines when I torch it, unless I also rinse the M with water?
(2) if I gather reclaim from clean (non-iso-alcohol) q-tips, how do I then use it? Must I use organic cotton to somehow gather the reclaim instead, so I can vape it?

1. No. Just FYI, ISO is flammable, but not explosive like gasoline. It will burn, but not so aggressively. Heating it in your tip will not ignite it if it has dried completely.

2. You don't HAVE to use organic cotton, it is just less likely to have something in it you don't want to breath in. Put the reclaim covered cotton in your tip and vape it.

Reclaim usually has a pretty nasty taste, but I hate to waste so much buzzable material. It is a catch 22 for me. I hate to admit it, but I usually let it go to waste...

I WILL add, however, that I LOVE the smell that comes off my water pieces when doing their hot water rinse every night.

Thanks so much for your good answers! And I’m glad to know I need not fear dried Iso.

Jumping a heat cycle?

Been playing with the VapCap full time since Monday, trying different spin speeds, draw speeds, carb coverage, heating zone, the click....

And it had me thinking about jumping a heat cycle to get more heat in the chamber for a thick and terpy first pull.

1st cycle - Heat the cap until the click. Let it heat soak for 5-15 seconds and put the cap on a magnet to reset. No pull.
2nd cycle - Heat the cap until the click and take first draw. Generally enough heat in the chamber for a second draw or back to magnet to reset.
3rd cycle - Heat to the click and another 1-2 rips and the avb is a nice dark ground coffee colour.

As the first heat cycle is usually terps, because the herb is not hot enough, jumping it produced a thick terpy cloud on the first pull of the second cycle. The entire session has better flavour (less popcorn) but fewer total pulls.

I've been playing with the duration of the heat soak in the first heat cycle, but the most successful rips have been with a 10-12s heat soak.

I have not tried this technique through a water pipe but the additional heat should lend to an impressive cloud.

My vape-oblivious cousin was over and found my Dynavap and thought it was a one-y and proceeded to use it for smoking/combustion. I took it apart and gave everything a hot water rinse but I still can’t get the rancid smoke smell out of it. I’m not sure what model it is because it was a gift but I’ll post pictures of it. Any help would be appreciated, I wanted to ask you guys first so I don’t ruin it trying to do it myself.

Dont forget to take apart the mouthpiece from the condenser tube. Kind of a PITA, but its necessary when shit like that happens. Do that and then bury the mouthpiece and body in either baking soda or activated charcoal for a day. Youll also need to remove all o-rings and give them (and the parts they contacted) a thorough iso cleaning. Dip the tip, screen, and condenser tube (but not the orings) in either ISO or everclear. Use q-tips to thoroughly clean the loose o-rings. Then slap your cousin.
Like someone else said, wood is tricky. I accidentally combusted in my Sticky Brick Jr. and never felt like the combustion smell ever went away 100%. But at least w the woody you can contact every square millimeter of the device to attempt to deoderize it. If you do all of this and still smell the combustion, youre screwed and its time for a new MP and body, as the combustion cancer has forever penetrated the wood parts.

However, the Omni condenser does not fit well at all in my Cocobola bodies. It is really tight and i felt like i was putting way too much force in trying to assemble it. i added some dynawax to it and i was finally able to put the Omni condenser into the Cocobola body. the blackwood body and Cocobola bodies look very much the same when apart so i am not sure why i am having so much trouble swapping parts that should be swappable. this concerns me as it was part of my plan when i purchased it.

Just a word of caution!!

I just recently cracked a brand new Blackwood Nonavong stem. Using a very tight fitting Omni XL Condenser with mouthpiece on the Vong end.

You might want to contact George @VapCap about your cracked VonG. They have outstanding customer service and stand by their product. I'm sure that they'll want to make it right.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if early vongs and wood bodies and stems were not created with Omni condensers in mind and may be a little narrow for them. I'm not sure DV should have to be responsible for that. They may, because that is the kind of company they are, but it isn't really fair to expect it of them. Or at least that is my opinion.

BTW, that view would not apply to recently purchased vongs like the one a couple posts up.

As an alternative to cotton buds, I've been using the flat end of disposable wooden manicure sticks (often called "orange sticks") to gently scrape reclaim out of my condenser. Then just sandwich it between a little bit of bud to pack the tip and commence with the fun.

 

[kuzko]

Thanks for the advice, I was hoping to not have to invest much in the cleaning so I’ll try the iso and baking soda techniques. I may just have to get a new one or two. Of course I just missed the Black Friday sales.

That's just jaw-dropping, dude!!!

The Omni does not need an extra o-ring to be carbless. You just adjust the Omni to allow no air flow.

Is this only for the old Omni? I just got a new Omni and spinning the mouth peace does nothing from what I've seen

All Omni models function the same way. The Omni does NOT have a spinning mouthpiece. Rather, the Omni has a condenser that threads onto the mouthpiece and requires a deliberate twisting of the mp to change its setting. It's purpose is to allow the user to adjust the airflow to their preference without the requirement of manually manipulating the carb. Set it and forget it and toke with abandon.

Pull the mp/ condenser out from the body. Notice that the mp threads onto the condenser. The mp can be threaded all the way tight onto the condenser or loosened off and barely threaded and anywhere in between.

As the mp is loosened off the condenser the length increases. As the mp is tightened or threaded further onto the condenser, the overall length decreases. As the condenser becomes longer, it's beveled end pushes farther into the neck of the titanium tip. This cuts off the air that would otherwise enter the carb.

Practise adjusting the mp/condenser outside the body, then reassemble and test. Then pull it out again, adjust and test until you get the hang of adjusting the Omni mp/condenser. You can adjust the airflow from wide open all the way down to a tight air restriction.

Once you find your sweet spot, you'll be in heaven.

Promise...

Regarding spinning mps; only the Vapcap S and Vapcap XLS have spinning wood mouthpieces. These are held in place by xrings. The wood mps are free spinning and provide additional ease to the twirling maneuver. You can cradle the mp in your palm and spin the Vapcap easily while you heat it.

Omni mp and spinning mp - two different animals, each with a distinctly different function.

Omni 101 @Kal The condenser is two pieces that when screwed together all the way, it is allowing the maximum amount of air through through the carb hole, then up and through the condenser. As you adjust/unscrew the two pieces apart, the condenser gets longer until it plugs into the tip fully blocking air from entering the carb hole and going up and back down the condenser. If you adjust too far, naturally the two pieces come apart. Find the sweet spot that allows just enough air to cool the vapor and blow your mind. You should not be able to throw off the adjustment by spinning to heat.
Hope this helps a little to get a grasp of your omni.

Oops @Squiby beat me to it.
And I had a non omni XLS with a spinning mp that really didn't spin that easily. Stayed put as I twirled.

 

[Kal]

Thanks for the replies! Looks like my Omnivap has a bent condenser tube so it never fully closes. I've already sent an email since it arrived like this. Thanks to your great explanations I still have got it to work better than it was.

One more thing about the omni..... And I've even Seen this mistake on reviews...

If you turn/adjust your omni mouthpiece it is supposed to extend the condenser down into the tip.
But sometimes it extends the mouthpiece away from the body by a few mm.

This is Not correct, and happens because the solo condenser oring isn't lubricated enough and sticks inside the body rather than sliding up & down freely.
That's why there are 2 orings on the mouth piece and only one on the condenser... The mouth pieceis supposed to stay in position as the condenser moves...

Can you share a video with the correct / incorrect way of doing it? I'm not sure I'm getting it right, atm...

 

[SloJimFizz]

Good point @mrb
My Titanium body allows for smooth adjustment opening and closing. While my Nonavong body is a little snugger fit. When trying to close off air, the mouthpiece moves away from the stem, so I have to push the whole condenser piece in to complete the adjustment I just did. Just make sure your mouth piece is butted up to the stem or body after each adjustment.

Hello, after a lot of slepless nights I pulled the trigger and ordered a Ti Omni for this Black Friday discounts! Hope it will arrive before Christmas haha (knowing the Italian postal services)
I have a question for you all: I forgot to include in my order some degummed hemp fiber. Is there another material I can use for making a filter for my Omnivap? Thank you for your answers

I don’t have the omnivap I’m afraid. . . My words of description are all I can offer. . .

Thank you! And don't worry. If anyone has the Omni, I'm willing to see how I should adjust the airflow, since I do it by effectively separating the mouthpiece of the stem a bit. I don't seem to be able to do it in any other way, literally.

I believe there are people using organic unbleached cotton like bacon cotton between 2 CCD screens.
You can also use only one CCD screen and a cut to size Stainless steel pipe screen.
