Dynavap VapCap

Additionally, if you cut off a small piece or two of Arizer Extreme Q whip and put it over the end of the mouthpiece on your omnivap/etc, you can then use the Silicone mouthpiece cover that comes with the Grasshopper as your SonG adapter to sit over the piece of whip Fits like a glove!

Of course, if you don't have a grassphopper Silicone cover handy, definitely get the Delta 3d Studios adapter as it obviously requires less assembly, also @Ratchett is good people

Noice, I have a couple of hopper silicone mouthpieces here, good to know. Thanks for the answers guys, very informative. If I ever happen to order an omnivap in a near future, I'm sure I'll order some accessories from @Ratchett

Wow, out of the forum for a while and all this excitement! Great to catch up

Still loving my collection and is still my go to vape.

Today in my glass workshop I made a gong I finally like (I may have posted a similar one). It's very tricky hand forming a gong for a glassblowing noob so I've been practicing and breaking a lot of glass.



Now to go use it!

Nice job @PeteSeattle , I'm working with glass too, about 2 years in, and my head is reeling with possible custom stems (for myself) while I get my skills down better. I'm glad I stumbled into this vape, actually thought I had run out of interest in the newer vapes on the market... until now. I really like the way this one can be heated, then hit so no fumes, and the click takes the guess work out of it.

..It's crazy this thing is $35, it works so well through water. I like how it has a fun ritual aspect to it, without being so demanding like my other vaporizers which are more session oriented. This device really works excellent as an alternative to a bong snap. I love how minimal the whole setup is, one of my big complaints against the volcano is how many pieces it has and how it needs a whole vape station setup. If I started my vapor journey over, The vapcap and a water tool would be plenty; maybe with a grinder. I can't get nug chunk AVB as even as ground material, so right now I like grinding. Maybe the triple jet will help, using a single jet Eagle now.

Now I need to try shatter through it and see how it compares to my divine tribe v3.

I agree completely. The 1 thing that surprised me the most about the og vapcap are that it really can serve as a primary, heavy-use device..like an all-day, every-day type device.

The second thing that surprised me was that it's more like a bong hit than a 1 hitter rip.

The only thing is cleaning .. if it was my only device then I'd like to have 2 so I could use one and keep the other soaking in alcohol and swap every day. I made the mistake of letting mine go a week and it was really gunky and kind of hard to clean .. only because the condenser seems a bit delicate, really. So now I'm cleaning it every other day-ish . .and that is definitely the ticket.

I feel like I need a bigger and longer body like the moroccan sipsi. Where do I get those ? I have spoken with a friend who likes to play with wood but I guess from the photos some of you already did it and customise your VC.

the ti tip will fit into an 8mm bore in case you want to try a DIY stem or if you want your friend to have a go at it. @phattpiggie and @Winegums both make custom stems. Winegums has an Etsy page. You can PM them here on FC for further information. @phattpiggie is on holidays right now so you won't likely hear back from him until he returns. You can see his work on the Phattpiggies Wood Shed thread.

Do you think cleaning with white vinegar is alright ? I think so..

Click to expand...

I don't know how well vinegar works on resin. I only clean the areas that are in the airpath; the tip and the condenser. The body does not need cleaning as vapor makes no contact with it. I do condition the wood components with beeswax and hemp oil.

towtow said:

What is the temperature inside the chamber when it clicks the first time and then the second when it is cold ? It could be usefull for me to know because of the different type of herbs I will use.

Click to expand...

That depends. The cap clicks when it comes to temperature, but where you heat the cap determines how hot the herb chamber becomes. Applying heat lower on the cap takes longer for the top to come to temperature, so the herb chamber reaches a higher temperature. Heating closer to the top of the cap results in a cooler chamber temperature.

lovecrush said:

Is the ti omnivap easier to clean than the ones with wooden body? (Eg: I imagine you can soak the entire ti unit on iso and it's pretty much done, but you can't do that to wood)

Click to expand...

I don't think so. You still dismantle it to clean it and the parts that need to be cleaned are the tip and condenser. I suppose you could throw a Ti Omni into the doob tube in one piece with some cleaner, but you would still want to dismantle it to rinse and dry the components. The orings may not last as long if you soak them in a cleaning solution.

lovecrush said:

Does the wooden body on omnivaps alter the taste at all compared to full titanium omni?

Click to expand...

Not that I can tell.

lovecrush said:

Does the omnivap needs any accessorie to fit on 14mm or 18mm glasspieces or it fits natively?

Click to expand...

you can switch up a straight body for a VonG body or buy an Omni with the VonG body. It's called an OmniVonG.

Thanks, @jambandphan03. Been about the same for me. This vape really inspires one to create accessories.

Here's a little bit of what I got done today. The laminated blank is Ebony and tiger maple. The other is Red Elm but a different grain direction than yesterday. I think the Elm turned out really pretty, it flashes when you turn it around in the light due to the fiber optic qualities it has.

I've been working on colour balancing my photos so that they're closer to what they look like in person. It's not perfect from picture to picture.

The Dynavap website really need to be updated with up to date photos of the products!

For example the titanium body, for me the difference between photo description and current design was enough to make it just a dissapointment and waste of money . Lession learned here that more research should have been done on the FC forums, but it is hard knowing what is custom built/home made and right at the point of a design change it takes some time before new user photos start circulating in these pages.

You are right. @VapCap should commissions @TheVaporist as photographer.
His pics are brilliant and let look all VC sophisticated. And so far as I've understood he would do so.

What is the current design if I may ask? The Omni does seemed to be varied a bit, there's the diamond cut pattern that is what I take to be the norm and I've seen the loose wire coil pattern Which I like a lot more. I was watching sneaky pete's vapcap review and he had it but hard to gauge what timeframe George and company was making those, they're always experimenting

Will do thank you, they both do fantastic work ! I'm already putting a magnet in my old wood stash. VC is fun.

White vinegar with baking powder have worked like a charm. I'll send an email to ask VC-team if it could damage the oring from the omni with that technic.
I'm still trying to figured out on how to remove oring from the omni, if possible ?

That depends. The cap clicks when it comes to temperature, but where you heat the cap determines how hot the herb chamber becomes. Applying heat lower on the cap takes longer for the top to come to temperature, so the herb chamber reaches a higher temperature.

Makes sense to me. I just saw a dynavap video explaining what you just said (DynaVap FAQ: The Cap)
I feel like I can do one more round of heating with the hemp filter. I just heat the high part of the cap mostly, no cloud until the third round and it is very small, popcorn taste comes later.
It is more difficult to inhale maybe my filter is little bit to thick (I'll adjust that next time)

Will the hemp combust if I overheat it ? Guess so.[/QUOTE]

Great day to you all !

towtow said:

Not in my experience. I've combusted a couple of loads but the hemp filter seems to still be doing its job (top tip, @Squiby). Also, with the filter in place I can use more finely ground material without getting a mouthful of dust. Great clouds, knockout effects

towtow said:

I've found that the air restriction is not really impacted if I make the degummed hemp fiber filter very thin.

When making the filter sandwich between two screens, I seat the first screen in the bottom ridge of the chamber, add the filter then gently push the second screen in until it snaps into the middle ridge. This way the filter is not compacted between the screens but floats freely.

This results in an easy draw and smooth cool finely filtered vapor with absolutely no particulates in the airpath.

I want to apologize to all the picture posters out there. I found out you guys were not the cause for my high use of data. Found the problem, fixed it. Sorry for all the ruffled feathers.

Xelatsok said, "I added domed screen to the bottom of the cap" back in Feb.
This idea got my interest. I ordered a 11mm leather punch. Made some screens into little bowls. I made them small enough to drop into the cap, cup down. I used the tallest cap I could find. When you look into the cap, you see a domed screen that keeps the herb off the click disks. I pushed the the dome a little to lock it in place.
I may be wrong, but the rips seem to last longer, with denser vapor. There is a small bubble of hot air in the cap that is pulled into the bowl, right at first draw that is really flavorful.
The click is louder, and you have two (2) distinct cool-clicks. Actually one (1) cool-click and almost a thump for the second click.
Test it out folks. I think it's an improvement, but as noted above, I've been wrong before. Doc

If you pick up a "Flux Brush", (used to apply flux to copper pipe to solder the pipe joints), cut the brush bristles off about half-way, and after cleaning use to sweep the crumbs from the bowl. Makes cleaning easier, and longer time between cleaning.

@PeteSeattle: It's nice to see you back! I was just wondering what you're up to, I still want one of those beautiful cobalt bodies.

@Dynalowrider: No worries, you brought up a great point about data usage that I never thought about. It's probably all those cartoons you were watching on YouTube that used up your data.

I'll have to try the dome screen with my flower tip. I actually made one for a concentrate tip with a S&B pad fitted into the Ti tip, as per @herbivore21's helpful advice. The dome screen keeps the concentrate in place. I never thought to use it with flowers until seeing @Xelatsok's post, and I was busy at the time and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!

How long does a torch last you, as in butane?

how long does a can (do they come in cans?) of butane last you?

So with the dynastash you know how with the old dugouts the herb would get stuck at the bottom, does that happen here too?

Thanks guys y'all are too happy over here, maybe the vapcap is good shit?

I use a single flame torch lighter and I have to refill it every few days. You're going to increase the amount of fuel used with more burners but get a faster click. A can of butane (5.5oz) should last you quite some time as I've yet to run through the partial can that I have been using.

We wouldn't be raving about this little vape for nothing. It will go toe to toe with my Herbalizer and Mighty.

As far as torches, there is a lot of variation in how long they will last. The tank size is obviously a factor, as well as how many jets the torch has. You should be able to get at least two days of heavy usage with most torches.

Cans of butane last forever. I have multiple butane vapes, so I can't quantify exactly how much the VapCap itself uses. I also use plug-in and battery powered vapes which reduce my butane consumption further.

A standard size can of butane lasts about 4-5 months with my usage. I think I paid $5 at my local headshop for the can, not bad for several months of vaping!

I haven't had trouble with herb getting stuck at the bottom of my stash. I put a toothpick in the small hole for the tool, and I could use that to break it up if it happened to get stuck. The only problem I have had is that it is hard to load when it is almost empty. I just dump it out to load it when that happens.

This weekend is going to be more fun than originally projected.

I definitely feel improvements all around over the glass!

That looks like an experimental stem/body, no? Raised carb and solid non spinning mouthpiece? Really?!?

The Vapcap M, perhaps?

But how do you set the airflow ratio with no twisting mp? (Picture above)

Might this be done with a double function tool for both twisting the internal condenser and adjusting the screen?
Will it be built in??

Anyway, want one whatever the cost!

Pretty sure if that was an omni upgrade then George would have posted about it, I think this is a new experimental model
