I'll let you guys be now. Thank you for enduring my rumbling and forgive my -possibly- weird english (not a native english speaker) Thank you so much @VapCap and FCers for helping me literally change my life. And @Squiby , you are magic. Thank you so so much for all the invaluable info (that hemp filter is pure genius ) My lungs are already feeling the love!
Welcome. Your English is great.

And you're right, Squiby IS magic...

Hey there everyone! FC newbie here... I just really wanted to share a few words (after lurking for over 2 weeks reading and checking back and forth). I received my M (2017) a weeks ago from @VapoShop and I already knew that all the info here was absolutely thought out and accurate. I had no doubt that this was going to be exactly as described.
I've been a smoker since I was 15 up until a month ago. Started smoking weed at 18. I am now 33. At around 2006 a friend talked to me about his experience with the Volcano and the effects of vaporising vs smoking. I was shaken to the core. However my mild, and even heavy at times, depression, kept me from quitting smoking weed... I must add that I'm coming from a country that mixing tobacco with weed in a joint is the norm. So you can imagine that for 15 years I 've been treating my lungs like crap. To my defence I have never been a heavy smoker... but still...
A few years ago, after a great loss of weight due to heavy depression (I'm 5'10.5'' and I weighed 114lbs), I started getting sick a bit too often. The smoking didn't help my already fragile immune system. I got acute bronchitis about 7-8 times and even a lovely case of pneumonia. The last 3-4 years I managed to get quite a bit healthier through diet, exercise and lots of "soul-searching".
But the smoking continued and I still felt like I had a bit of weight in my lungs. So after a few scaredy searches on vaporising I decided to purchase an x-max v2 pro... used it for 2 weeks and then gave it away to a friend. My problem was... I hated the whole electronic-battery powered-little oven under your mouth aspect of it all. It didn't feel organic at all and was extremely uncomfortable to handle and sip. Too hot, too clunky... too post-modern (felt like I was in the cast of Brazil)
So after a lot of "studying" on this thread I knew that this was the vape for me. I'll probably be repeating things that have been previously posted in here, but man alive this thing is just stupefying. It's size, simplicity it's ritualistic feel, excellent performance and mere intelligence have me in awe. in risk of sounding a tad dramatic, I think that the vapcap is going to be an iconic device (if not already). They way the company operates and understands the needs of its customers is beyond impressive. You can see there's passion,love and dedication to provide a top of the line product.
But to be honest what made me take the leap on getting a dynavap product was the amazing fan base. I don't think I have ever witnessed any other forum with so many well spoken, intelligent and helpful people.
I'll let you guys be now.

@Lady V, Welcome! Terrific introduction post! I think you're gonna be a welcome addition here. :)

I think that the vapcap is going to be an iconic device (if not already).
Already is! :rockon:


If I were to make it out of round enough to prevent it from seating itself, I wouldn't be able to remove it with a magnet. I'll pass, thanks. Being able to remove a hot cap is WAY more important to me than additional air flow...

You -can- get it fitted loosely enough to remove with a magnet but keep it from moving otherwise. Might take 15 or 20 minutes of fiddling, but my gen 3 and le tip will both allow it after working on the caps a bit

cybrguy, Kalessin is right. You're only slightly putting it out of around & then you slightly depress the digger in, if need be press it in at the the junction of the 2. So, it's not on tightly, but firmly enough not to fall off, but still removable with a magnet.


It is just not possible to beat this M with the improved airflow technique. I could be wrong of course but my VC M experience is just wow.

I found my 2017 M unusable (mouth pulls were hurting my throat, even) due to the very high restriction before filing the tip, but that was because the cap was being fully seated. After filing the tip a bit, there isn't that much of a difference in airflow between a slightly unseated and fully seated cap, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

We've been having a little back & forth in this thread, but take a look at my post & the way I've used the M to increase airflow. I feel the same way about this method as Vapoleon feels about his, " ... just wow."

Hanging out, seriously medicated.....going through the stuff. I have 9 fat VC rubber/silicon mouthpieces. PM me CONUS for a free parcel of however many you would like.

In addition, brought out the OG S this evening.....still my perennial, if seldom used favorite. I've become very protective of my OG glass bodies, but the flavor, the easy spinning, and with this one (and one other, bought from DV near the end of their run), a lovely black and white Ebony MP, just the sheer ease of use.....it spins in your hand like a dream, and the glass path just takes flavors to a different place. Maybe one day @VapCap could mount a serious reissue.......seriously, other than the fragility of the glass, this system was a bomb ass score the minute it found a torch and a willing public. Yeah, I'm a FanBoy..............

@Summer wha??
There really seems to be something there. Do you mean that you're getting better performance without a condenser? I don't get it but hey, what works works. Is it the super-tight vanilla SS tip with the cap all the way in? Are you mouth or lung pulling?

It makes complete sense to me that there is no use of a condenser in a carbless stem. Because then you just have a 5mm stem inside a 10mm stem. It's the same thing regardless.
But is there any use of a carb in a condenser-less stem? How do you notice it's different?

My understanding of the venturi effect is just that air comes in from the carb up to the tip, then gets right between the tip and the condenser which is a rather tight space, doing a 180 degree turn into the condenser. So there's a lot of turbulence. But what does this turbulence do? I dunno. Maybe it just cools the vapor a little bit, by cooling the condenser? Since faster air cools stuff more.. the venturi effect means, if you have a wide pipe that then chokes into a narrower pipe, and make stuff flow on it, the stuff will go faster but have less pressure in the narrower part. which is a bit weird

But I don't know how that's affecting the part of the tip holding the weed at all. You're still getting the same vapor out of it, from conduction and the convection that comes through the cap into the tip? The venturi stuff is happening closer to the condenser. Or maybe it's.. oh shit. It reduces pressure. Then maybe IF there's less pressure in the chamber, then the venturi effect pulls more air in through the cap into the tip, because of the pressure differential. but i have no idea

I'm gonna experiment with seeing how pulling more/less affects things. I think pulling softer will mean more conduction vapor, and harder more convection, but maybe.. there's a point where there's max convection, and if one pulls more, it's too much and you're actually getting less convection, or the air ends up cooling the tip too much

@asdf420,

1) As said within my post, I only tried it with the ti tip so far. & I said I know the LE 7 would be too much airflow.

2) Also, as said within my post, while heating I cover the carb & while drawing I feather as necessary.

3) I mouth pull, but without the condenser, the pull is really easy & smooth ... & simultaneously there's also a small amount of lung pull (small amount of vapor going directly into the lungs) going on. It's just the way I do it.

I haven't dissected @stardustsailor's post about the venturi effect yet.

All I can say is try the vc without the condenser & different tips & see what you think. It's easy enough to do. Just remember, for whatever reason, the heat up time is less, or at least, with the IH.

Edited to add: This works great for me with the 17M's 2mm carb. I think it would also work well with the Omni (with inserted mp, but no condenser) as the Omni has a 1 x 3mm carb which I assume is equivalent to the M's airflow. I suspect, like my @stardustsailer stem which has a 2.8 mm carb, the 18M, which according to @stark has a 2.75mm carb, would not be good to use condenseless as the airflow would be too much since a 2mm or less carb seems to be the sweet spot.

Aah insomnia, you're back!
The cons of insomnia (according to a medical website): increased risk of medical conditions, mental health disorders and increased risk of accidents.

Pros: more time to read and like posts in this thread :brow:

Congrats @ArthurJ :clap: and a warm welcome to you @Lady V!

To make this post Dynavap related, months ago I bought a T-Woody and it worked perfectly, but all my tips don't fit in the cocobolo stem anymore:


Has anyone else had this problem? The only reason I can think of is the Dutch climate (humid and cold).

Not cool from dynavap to post the haiku winner's real name on facebook and instagram.
Big Data never forgets.

Not cool at all.
could have brought a whole bunch of people here in possible danger.

Let's hope it's not his real name or he doesn't care.
But Dynavap, srsly ?

I asked back then but I mistranslated the contest rules

Ok, it's fine to publicly post the HAIKU that was chosen to be the best but please don't post the participator's real name.

Welcome @Lady V
So glad to hear the Dynavap is working for you. And a great first post. I share much of your smoking experiences, from how I smoked weed to how long I smoked in general and owning electronic vapes that didn't help or work for me. .
Dynavap changed and improved my life, and that’s why I enjoy visiting this forum, supporting the company and hopefully helping others find the same level of smoke free joy.


^^^ @Mr.Sifter geez if that’s the case then I agree. Makes me glad I didn’t win!

Welp we’re wayyy off in the weeds today... time to get back on the rails.

It looks like I need to get some more M’s. I gave away another last week to a friend. He’d been complaining about how smoking weed was hurting his throat. So I gave him my last M that I owned and he’s super happy with it. I think I’ve added another to the vapour clan. :D

I just deleted 12 responses to this post because the topic here is the VapCap and not privacy on the internet. If people want to discuss that then we have a forum called The Lounge.

I got my Pipes PSM last night. Had way too much fun playing with it and seeing how my two Ti tips fared. By the end I was wishing I hadn't given away my M17 because I wanted to play with the SS tip. Gonna have to hunt one down again...

Oi customs!! 4 days is long enough to inspect and release a package.

My M18 arrived here five days ago. Got mugged by customs for a few quid duty and their objectionable 'handling fee'. But today I paid the robbers. And I'm a very happy man :).

Gave it a quick clean but it really didn't need it as there was no visible residue. Then had a quick test run of half a bowl of coarse ground herb. I sucked it into the bowl, so it's very loosely packed – a tiny amount. Wow! I wasn't expecting so much from the first heating; amazing flavour and a big cloud.

I'll have to test again later with a full bowl but the airflow does seem improved over the M17. I filed notches in the original SS tip but the M18 won't need the same treatment. Carb closed, mouth draws were easy.

The milling on the body does improve grip with cold fingers when enjoying this arctic spring weather!

I know I'm repeating others here, but gotta say how much I like the new tip design – the tapered fins look a bit retro and the three doubled helices really seem to do the job.

Still feeling the effects from one toke, and that was two hours ago. Really looking forward to cooking a feast for lunch :p, but I'll spare you my recipe ramblings and be on my way...:ko:

New slogan for ye: "Dynavap! Improving the taste of burned omelette since 2015".

@Lady V welcome to FC and the Dynaverse. It's a wonderful place to hang out. Where else can you get a dose of science, philosophy and humor all at the same time?

I sent a very dear friend a Cocobolo Omni as a present last week and last night we did a FaceTime chat while I coached him through using it for the first time. I believe we have another convert to the Dynaverse. He was blown away by how efficient it was, how great his herb tasted, and how high he got from such a small amount. I set the screen in the smallest setting thinking that's what he'd like and he did.

And he also marveled at the feel and precision.

And now I'll get to watch as he acquires the requisite accessories to care for his new piece. And then I'll sit back and see if he develops VAS. I got him into custom guitars about 10 years ago and now he has 6. So...

So one week later and I feel bad about neglecting my Nano. It just doesn't give you the level that I get from this tiny M. I rarely get through a day without combusting. I combusted yesterday, gave it a quick cleaning, got set up and combusted again! :doh: I won't give up though as like I said. I don't get to the same level when using my other tools. I will say that I don't like the airflow or the lack there of. So I guess I better order an 18M or a XLS in some configuration.....Let's see what this weeks special sale brings me. I am hooked!

The XLS doesn't really improve airflow (Unless I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain on that) so you'd need either an 18M or a ti tip to increase airflow
