never wanted to beat that one ;)
I recently managed to combust again and damn that smell is HORRIBLE 
But in the tube with some ethanol removed it very well. Although the tube still smells a bit, will go away I think.
Stupid me managed to loose the inner o ring of my M in the process so it's good my deluxe kit from the 420 sale is one the way... (still overseas though
)
Since the beginning I only combustor when falsely assuming the cooldown click has happened so hopefully the magnets will make that easier to avoid.
Also thanks for the tip with lowest tip setting, I think that might have caused some very dark avb in the past for me.
Have a nice day fellow Vapcapers!

Two questions:
1 - what’s the consequence of vaping without the condenser?
2 - what’s the difference in vapor with conduction vs convection?
I'll answer #1. A quick Google search will answer #2, and it's good information to know.
I've tried this with an '18 M and I didn't really like it. The consequence is a more open air-path and getting your stems or bodies dirty. I wouldn't really recommend it with wood bodies or stems.
I also came closer to combustion more often, just from the increased ability to draw harder. I didn't like the flavor. And my M is my second favorite vape now, behind only my Ti Omni XL.
If you have a titanium or M body or stem give it a shot. You may like it. You won't hurt anything, the stem or body becomes the condenser and you'll have to clean that just like you would the condenser.

I have a couple of carbless ti stems from @stardustsailor that I use without a condenser, and they hit like a truck. Massive hits. Since they are ti, I just clean them like I would a condenser.

I would think that the narrowness of the condenser might contribute to the reduced airflow. While most of the restriction is in the tip, a thicker pathway can only help. As an example notice how much more airflow one (at least) seems to get using a WT. One doesn't need to mouthpull through glass. Actually it may not even work.
No consequence, but a huge benefit for me!
I've found my condenser only ensures I will get a mouthful of resin after a certain time. Always when I'm out and about.
When I use in one of my glass wands (no condenser, no carb), the inner surface area is far larger and the glass itself does not get hot. Meaning I may never get a mouthful of resin no matter how long I wait between cleanings. That's why I designed a wand that is all glass, no condenser or carb, that fits inside a dynastash and also fits a 14mm female water pipe.
I second the comment "hits like a truck"!

It makes a big difference ,while not using a condenser ,if the carb is fully closed (or the stem is carbless ) or if the carb is kept fully open.
Just remember this simple rule :
A condenser -whether is an OMNI or a standard SS / Ti - needs a carb hole and
vice versa in order -for both- to operate properly as a system.
Together they make a pretty sophisticated & compact system ,
that uses the Bernoulli principle in order to "suck" vapor from tip and at the same time mix it
with cool air. A condenser inside a carbless VapCap stem is of no use.
As also a VapCap without a condenser and a fully open carb hole ,
will mainly deliver pure atmospheric air or when driven by some strong lungs ,
it can aid to combust the load.
Carbless and condenser -less VapCaps deliver massive hits.
I mean some seriously massive hits.
Lots of extraction ,lots of vapor .
But ...
The vapor is rather hot & harsh if not water and/or ice filtered.
This thing as also that you can only draw with " mouth-pulls ",
meaning that you have to create lots of negative pressure at the guts
of the VapCap ,using the facial muscles ,the carbless & condenser-less VapCaps
might be the best suited vaporizer ever for ex-smokers ,like myself.
From the other hand ,the "normal" VapCaps that use a carb and a condenser,
are delivering super smooth vapor and are best suited for users that might have
sensitive respiratory system (especially sensitive throats ) and enjoy
less massive hits ,but of great smoothness.
Those are the differences,more or less .
No method is better than the other.
It's purely a matter of personal preference .
No consequence, but a huge benefit for me!

Carbless VapCaps do hit like trucks or even trains .
But one has to be ready and be able to withstand such a "collision" .
Cheers.

Lots of good food for thought.

I kind of burn a bit too long a couple of time not hearing the click.. is it normal the tip get a bit colored or it like damaged ?
The effect is a patina which shows the “scars” worthy of a Purple Heart. After some time
you, too, will wear it proudly.
Of course when it wears on you, you can always have a squeaky clean tip with a mere toothbrush/toothpaste.

No. I only condition the exterior surface. I rub a tiny bit on, rubbing it in, then I buff it with a soft cloth. I do this once a month or whenever I'm cleaning the condenser and tip.
I use either @phattpiggie s wood conditioner or @Ed's TnT Bomb Ass Butter.
almost there

@Lady V I have a dedicated hanky I have been using to polish my wood vapes with oil/wax, it's been in use for a few months so it's pretty saturated. I run that thru each mid-section after polishing the outside. Works well enough to give the inside a nice hydrating shine without having to wipe anything away after. I give extra attention to the 2 ends

Yeah I don't love the DynaWax so I have been on the lookout for something else to use on my wood. One of those is the likely suspect.

Ι 've only used my stem once since I got it. For some reason I'm waiting to get the rest of the parts for it...
Only waxed it once on the outside.
Anyway

Really? If it's safe that would be cool. Got plenty!
Is that because of safety reasons?
I need a dedicated box for all the dedicated stuff I've been gathering for my caps. One more item added to the vapcap dedicated list!
Why is that?

That's a "Hemper-Sherlock Bubble Rig" that I found on DankGeek.com.
It's a small glass piece, kind of fits in the palm of your hand, my 14mm wongs pair well and with the fat mouth piece I can use my omni's or M's.
It's very portable, also goes well with my grasshopper.

I do not. I use a tiny amount of coconut oil on the exterior of my cocobolo stem and that's it. I don't do the inside because cosmetically speaking it's not needed. I guess applying some to the inside might be a good idea for preservation but I've never done it.

No. Not at all. It never occurred to me to butter the inside. I polish the outside so that the wood is moisturized and gleams, just like I polish the visible parts of my wood furniture.
But as @mccringleberry says, protecting the inside with wax may further protect the wood. I think I may have to look for a dedicated hanky.

It's simply amazing -- I can load approx. .05 grams in a bowl (full setting), and since I'm such a lightweight microdoser, I can get 3-5 good lifts off one bowl, depending on the herb. If I'm particularly busy, that might last me a couple of days.

My sample may have been a bad batch but I found the surface layer unusable and the rest less than "buttery". I might have had it for 6 months before I opened it, so that may be a factor. I just thought I would try something else. I am by no means knowledgeable about wood wax.

It's crazy how much harder it is to get a good effect with more tolerance. I can't keep it that low unless I vape once every other day. But I haven't limited my doses, just try to consume enough for a good effect.

Mine was the same. It developed a hard skin over it. Overall, I prefer @phattpiggie s concoction. What a good reason to get a PP stem.
I microdose. I try to stay around 0.015 gm per session. I have always been a lightweight. I'm sensitive, but I do have to work to keep my bud tolerance down. Try loading just a wee bit less than your last session, a wee bit less and you will find, hopefully that tolerance will drop while reaching the same effects with less.
