I feel really well equipped :-)

Sometimes there is the OG Brick for a change, or the hopper for the road, if it must be discreet. Here is my whole lineup (without my FF2, I don't like the FF2)

Wow, I love the setup. Seems like you have all your bases covered with the SB, GH, M and Omnivap too. It's always good to have backups for your backups. :D

VapCap Spin Manifesto LOL:

I help some older "new vapers" and had them try the M as I thought it might be great for them. All had difficulty with spinning and heating, ranging from some difficulty to great difficulty :) I'm definitely not knocking the VC, just telling it like it is..... I can relate to their experience as I too find the process somewhat difficult, like I need a third hand.

So, I've been busy attacking the issue, trying to find way(s) to help. I've got two categories of help, mouthpiece end and tip end.
--Mouthpiece (MP) end help. I found that the mouthpiece always wanted to spin away from its position, being held onto the base of a finger in the palm of your hand. You spin the VC and the MP would "walk away", making the tip move all around too.
MP 1. Made from a Delta 3D Studios plain 18/14 silicone adapter (like $3.50) and the DynaVap mesh that your new VC gets delivered with in the tube. Re- purposing at its finest?? I've used those @Ratchett Delta 3D adpaters for many an experiment. The silicone adapter rests firmly into your palm, so no walking around for the MP. The VC mesh acts as a vape bushing to allow a smoother spin motion. A pic is worth XX words so:
VCap%20Song%20bushing.jpg


MP 2 help. Made from @Oregonglassblower glass adapter , female joint to male joint, with a 135 degree (approx?) angle.
This also sits firmly in hand and gives you a more controlled, smoother, easier spin action:
VCap%20OGB%20holder.jpg

Glass piece fits in hand where you can then have two completely free fingers (thumb and index) to spin the VC, they don't need to help hold the VC AND also spin it.

Fingers shown slightly opened, bottom 3 grip and top 2 spin :)
..........................................................................................................................................
Tip end help:
In trying to think about other options/ best options, I came up with the "pool cue" analogy. If the VC were a pool cue, for precise "tip placement" in the flame, you wouldn't have the firm bridge in the middle of pool cue, you'd hold your hand/bridge right up near the tip for precise placement. That led me to look at options with the torch as that's right out there by the tip.
My prototype ("Bob-clip") is a piece of aluminum tubing that is JB Welded to the lighter + a formed paperclip. The tubing serves as a dock/hinge for a "paperclip bridge" that the VC sits in. Since it sits in there like a door hinge, you can rotate/move the clip to get a perfect angle(s) from the VC while spinning.
After experimenting, holy cow----if you drop the the Bob-clip into the first tip groove, it really tracks beautifully.
VC%20M%20adapter.jpg

VC%20M%20close%20up%20adapter.jpg

Please note: I pushed the cap a smidgen up as it impeded that first groove/ got in the way of a clean spin.
With the tip up like this, the VC function was hurt.
I wrecked a cap, trying to cut down the digger to expose the first groove. Then I contacted @VapCap George to see if they can cut down the digger/clip to expose the first groove. He kindly sent out such with my TiWoody XLS order and it works like a champ, perfect edge but digger is shorter :) No pics but looks like above--groove is exposed but cap is fully on.
It's a groovy solution, if I do say so myself ;)
The only downside to the shorter clip is for digging out deep loads, so no biggy. I never use the digger...

All three of these helpers are DIY.
The "Bob-clip" lighter could be a DIY or I had thought about offering as an accessory for those that really don't want to fuss with getting the lighter, tubing, tool to cut tubing, JB Weld,etc.
As an aside, when communicating with George, I was offering up for him to make/sell the "Bob-clip lighters" and he was like, well you came up with this, so go for it, which I thought was very cool !!!
Again, it is very doable as a DIY project, if you want a better spin.

Could you provide a link. That thing looks great! And who can beat it for $25! Nice find. Been looking at similar glass. Thanks

@MinnBobber Looks like an ingenious setup! I'm wondering about vaporization of JB Weld, though. The JB Weld website says "Original J-B Weld can withstand a constant temperature of 500º F. The maximum temperature threshold is approximately 600º F for a short term (10 minutes). Refer to individual product packages for more temperature information." According to Wikipedia, butane torches burn around 2,610 °F, leading me to think the area on the torch the JB weld is attached to may get quite warm. Warmer than 500 F? I couldn't say, but I haven't burned myself on that area yet (same torch), so that's one data point.

In other news, as mentioned earlier in this thread, a little tape or rolling paper adhesive over the carb on seems to make some clouds, even more so than just holding the carb with my finger. Possibly because I am inclined to automatically feather in some fresh air. I have thrown on some painter's tape and got 4 nice little clouds straight from one heat cycle with my M.

I like what you've done but when I read things like this I always feel like I'm doing something wrong. I've had my vapcaps since they first came out but I don't know what spinning is. One of mine has a spinning cap that I never use. I still manage to get the vapcap to work but I lack finesse and expertise.

I have the ceramic screen in my omni when it needs cleaning I just aim the torch in the bowl an tap out an the holes are unclogged
I can confirm that the best way to clean the old school ceramic screens is with a torch. In fact, it might be the only way to truly clean them, even iso won't remove the brown "stain" from use.

A torch will make them shiny white again. Just be careful not to drop it down the sink drain like me! :lol:

Once, I was showing my buddy how easy it is to remove the ceramic screen on his Ti Woody for cleaning. I stuck the condenser in the tip, set it on the counter and said, "Look, it's easy, it just pops out like this" and then I proceeded to give it a slight tap to dislodge it.

*CRUNCH* :uhoh:

When I lifted the tip off the countertop, the screen was broken in three pieces. :doh:

By then, I had switched to using the titanium screens from ebay in my Woody. I just gave him the Ti screen from my tip, and he was good to go. Boy, did I feel like a dumbass though! :lol: I had taken the ceramic screen out of mine dozens of times before and never once had a problem. In fact, I still have it. It's sitting in a little baggie with some spare o-rings lol. Maybe I'll get nostalgic sometime and put it back in my Gen 2 tip for a few bowls... :spliff:

:peace:

Ladies and gentlemen,

So much excitement going on on my side, sorry but I feel like have to share and spread the awesome news!
My order from 4/20 just arrived, after being stuck in my third world snail mail system for quite a long time (shipped 4/24).

I am really grateful for George and Dynavap staff, you always fulfill our expectations! The quality of your items is top notch, not to mention your customer service! You cannot go better than this!! Or can you? :)

I'm glad it's friday and I promisse to make some pictures that I 'll post here, of course, and go into deeper testing throughout weekend. In the name of science :)

Cheers everyone!

Watch this video, George shows how to properly heat a cap. I can't imagine the results if you didn't spin it, but I'd guess it would char and not vape evenly.

@vapeanderson I did that paper mod for the first time March of last year, I put a tiny pin hole in the paper which helped with the venturi effect the OG, Ti1 & 2 utilised.
dRH6dYx.jpg

I drilled my wooden stem with 0.5mm carbs which allowed me good vapor production without sucking filings out.
For me the carb isn't necessary with the Ti4 and the M, others may find it helps to dial in their preferred draw resistance and air/vapor ratio.

@MinnBobber modding a torch for yourself is one thing, selling one could open up a whole world of problems.
I spoke with George the first time I did mine. Liabilities.

I asked for a Pyro cap when I got my first Ti1 as they has no digger.
I wasn't and still am not bothered about one and have cut one of the older ones down and today I offered one up to the bench grinder.
I've been meaning to take the digger off for a while, it was your set up, Minnbobber, that spurred me on.

Nice job @phattpiggie , that came out smooth.
I don't have the proper tools so trying to shorten the digger (so my "Bob-clip" could rest in the first groove) resulted in a fragged/ destroyed cap :(
George's shorty digger came out perfect, of course.
This mod works pretty good as it even holds the VC by itself.

Well it's been over 24 hours since someone has posted about how to use a VapCap M. I guess the rush is over.
I'm here to brag about a pairing I have discovered.
Jarhead by Pipes and, (drum roll please), the VapCap M.
Hoorah.
Pipes this thing should have a rank of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corp at least.
I found the Ti-tips heat faster than the ss. I get a four count after the click max with Ti, but I can go all the way to five or six with ss, before combustion.
This turns this whole system so relaxing and peaceful in my hammock, without messing with a hot lighter.
Hardest part is finding the induction port, and staying awake. Doc zzzzzzzzzzz
Edit: full mc rank

I'll tell you what I would like. I would like a stash that holds my VC on one side and on the other there is a sealed container for goods. Either glass with a cork or some other kind of container that actually seals. I am always worrying that my top will twist open or the pungent aroma of good stuff will over power the (not completely sealed) twist closure of the Dynastash.
I have been thinking about this and I have decided that it would be way easier if I just had a cork cover for the stash section with a ring or something on it that could fold down and be a handle to remove it. The twisting top would close over that. I would want to make the stash a little deeper as I would lose some volume with the cork cover. Are the dug out sections of the dynastash standardized to that a cover could be made without customizing it for each? If they are, I bet one of our accessory makers could do it rather than DV having to, but standardization would be important...

I think this would be enough to manage the odor, without having to add a container.

The hardest part I think would be devising a way for the cover to not just sink into the stash. Creating some kind of detent or something to hold it in place.
