TL;DR: Not radioactive. Chemically and biologically inert. Abrades tools

If it ain't radioactive then how am I meant to get superpowers? 
Forgot to say, the strontium is really pretty with the wood you chose for this vong @Winegums
You seem to always be adding to your skill sets, trying something new and I think that's cool. I enjoy seeing what you're getting up to so keep the updates and wood porn coming!
When you do make a vong that imparts superpowers, please hit me up.

Especially if we get to pick our super powers.
Speaking of picking, I meant to ask this before and forgot. Is DV back to laser etching caps? That was a cool thing that went away with a promise of returning and I was wondering if it is happening quietly or just not happening yet.
It wouldn't be a surprise if it was too time intensive to be worth bringing back the custom option but I'm sure there are a half dozen designs that many would be happy to have on their cap and they could be done in advance.
Just thinkin. If the crew is balls to the walls just producing enough product to fill orders and anticipated holiday sales than something like this could well be back burnered till there are slower times, which may be what is afoot now.

I’ve asked them, they’ve always given me no reason to hope that they’ll ever do it again, and if that sounds vague....

It sounds like the etched caps may have become a Dynavap collector's item.

It's a general bureaucracy thing. My last order was a dynastash. I could buy dynavap stuff at a german retailer, but nothing can't beat the @VapCap
sale prices.
@Taazokaan my first order came through without customs. It took around 5-6 days too.

Enquired about custom cap etching a few sales ago @Arielle.Dynavap replied
that etching will be offered again after the sale....
DynaVap must be working their booties off, with etching in the back burner....
Ah, well, as @Squiby said, custom etched caps are becoming collectors’ prized DynaVap
memorabilias—a blast from the past
Like Damascus steel stems....
Am, however looking hopefully towards the future.

Thanks! I spend a lot of time watching and researching before I do things so that I know what I'm getting myself into. It makes it easier when I actually start to the project to have a map of where I want to go and what to do at each step. Working with new and different materials all the time is a challenge that yields as much failure as success, (I had a resin leak on one of the molds and it made a MESS).
I realized last year that my calling in life is to make beautiful functional items. I've done a lot of traditional art in the past but it's plain old art at the end of the day. The interaction with it is simply to stare and admire which doesn't engage me enough. I want to touch the art, I want it to be an item that does something. I want to be using it and appreciating the beauty at the same time. I honestly didn't think this is what I would be doing when I grew up but I'm happy that I have found inner peace being a creator/maker/artisan.
Marrying art and function is why I find myself exploring new things all the time. There's so many techniques and materials that I still want to try. Things like metal casting, pottery, pattern welding, glass blowing, and more. There's even some that haven't even been made yet or I've only theorized with some engineers (when I have millions for R&D
).The next thing on the horizon is wood stabilizing with resin and dye. I have a pile of wood with cracks, voids and soft spots that I want to use. I've got to track down a vacuum chamber in the future.
For the sake of wood porn, here's another shot of my knife and 14/18mm XL omni VonG.
The knife is made from O1 tool steel, B8 bronze, Cocobolo and Maple. The VonG is made from Blackwood, B20 bronze and Birch Burl.

I get my Ti Cocobolo Omnivap Saturday. After I get through the holidaze I believe I'll be reaching out to you for a custom Vong. That's effing gorgeous.

Etched cap, a Titanium Nanovong, Gen 6 tip are on my pull the trigger immediately list.
You Sir are churning out some drool worthy pieces. Your omni is awesome and the handle on that knife is just jaw dropping.

Something subtle to get a visual on the carb hole in those low light situations (foil tape)
I'm not wrong..
Tips will fit on all bodies,yes..
But the omni adjustment will stick the condenser down into the tip. With a the M tip opening being a bit wider than the Ti-tip... The restriction of airflow will be less significant than with a Ti-Tip. Wasting much of the omni functionality.
The SS condenser (being a touch thicker than the Ti-condenser) will work with Ti-Tips, but will not always push into/through a Ti-Tip.
Not a problem in use. But you won't necessarily be able to push the screen out with it for example..
I've answered too many posts about compatability recently. I'm handing over the proverbial conch for a bit.

My goodies arrived in today's mail.
The omni xl feels like a substantial upgrade from the m. So nicely machined, and the difference in weight and balance was unexpected. The extra length fits my hands well.
Tested and works wonderfully...

Ive been playing with the TI tip for a while, but now that Ive become more comfortable using these things, I decided to give my SS tip some attention and was pleasantly surprised. I found that the SS tip is able to deliver denser, cloudier hits with a longer inhale period. The only real drawback is the smaller airpath which gives it significantly more air restriction than the TI tip. The restriction is enough to be sort of undesirable to me, but when hooked up to my water pipe its much easier to extract. The SS tip could really use some deeper air grooves to improve air flow though--I dont think such a thing should be a premium and limited to the TI tip.

Maybe just charge a little more for the m with deeper grooves? Like hey the m is now 60 bucks or whatever, less draws restrictions

@DirtyD Im sure there wouldnt be any complaints about that. Now that I think about it, Im probably getting denser hits because of the restricted airflow. I might have seen this observation here before, but I feel like the SS tip is great for water bubbler use, and the TI is great for quick and easy hits.

Having owned an M for a year, a Ti woody for 6 months, and now an Omnivap for a week, i cannot help but think that the M is a flawed product because of the poor airflow.
Yes the M technically "works" but after having used a Ti tip for a while, going back to the SS tip is always a disappointment to me. I actually wonder if they gave it bad airflow on purpose to make the jump from M to Uni more obvious/appealing.
I have now bought a Ti tip for my M, but that puts it in the same price range as the Univap, and it shouldn't have to be upgraded to be fully functional.
IMO the best buy in the range is the Uni. It works right out of the tube without needing any upgrade, and although the Omni adjustment is nice, i really don't find it necessary in any way.
I will say that it is easier to use in low visibility since you don't have to find the hole every time you take a hit. On the other hand, it gets dirty faster than the Uni and is somewhat more of a pain to clean.
I don't think the price jump from Uni to Omni is worth it. Whereas going from the M to anything with a Ti tip is definitely worth your money.
One thing i have noticed, wondering if others have too.
The new Ti tip (gen 5 i think) looks like a mix between the SS tip and the gen 4 (7 fin) tip.
It has the same 5 large fins the SS tip has, but it has the grooves on the rim for better airflow.
To me this is actually a worst tip than the previous gen, and the lower number of fins probably just a cost cutting measure.
It takes much longer to reach cool down click, probably 30% longer, meaning you get stuck into that "It's too cold to produce any vapor, but it hasn't clicked yet" period for much longer.
I have actually combusted in that tip a few times, because it takes so long to cool, i assume it has clicked and it hasn't.
I never have that problem with my 7 fin tip, it seems that it has a much more even heat/cool curve.
Anyone else prefer the older tip?

I left the Rockies to get away from snow, and damned if I didn't get up this morning and it snowed last night. Ground is too warm to stick, (thank God).
I've had a Blackwood Vong Stem since they came out. Well I picked up down through buying, this piece and that piece, two Omni XL condensers and one Omni condenser. So seeing as I like using my sherlock so much, I "BF"ed a Blackwood Stem and Body. I wish I had done it sooner. I have no need to use hookah grommets. These seal up in the joint, unlike my vong. I just might have to replace it too. Doc
