Today we went for a walk and enjoyed the Spanish sun, with my Vapcap of course

What people call the "carb"is actually an air intake.
You still need a way for the air to enter the stem and reach the tip/condenser area. If it was a solid stem there would be no way for air to enter and it wouldn't be able to adjust the fresh airflow, because there wouldn't be any!
Titanium has pretty much the highest strength to density ratio of any metal. Try to bend your omnivap in half,
It's not aluminium if that's what you're thinking. An Omnivap is not fragile or cheap, not even close.I can understand why you think it would be cheap because it is light but Titanium is an incredible metal. It almost seems like someone is playing a prank on you, "how can it be so thin, so light, yet so strong?". It has strong parallels to Mithril in the Lord of the Rings.

Still waiting to hear back from 'retail Joe' at Dynavap to figure out how my situation is going to be resolved.
I'm confident they'll look after me, will update you all when it is remedied.
For now, I used my new 'poor man's omnivap' for the first time last night - M tip, omni stem, XL SS condenser (wish I'd ordered a new XL condenser during the sale now they've revealed the titanium, I'm having to swap the XL condenser out of my nonavong until I buy another) and titanium spinning mouthpiece.
Looks the same as the XL omnivap but cost me only a fraction (at least it will when they sort out my order mix up), I have no experience using an omnivap but the adjustable airflow doesn't interest me as I enjoy feathering the carb to tailor the hit dependent on my mood (closed - dense hot vapor or open - thin cool vapor).
I'm really liking the added length and faceted design of the titanium stem- more so than I thought I would actually; I was having reservations thinking perhaps I should have ordered a blackwood stem (I still might if I can find one).
One negative thing I have to mention though, is that both the stem and the mp were FILTHY. They both looked pristine, but as soon as I started cleaning them with some iso soaked cotton buds so much black machining oil came off and also some metal filings. It doesn't really bother me too much as I find cleaning my new pieces part of the process building anticipation before their first use. But it does make me worry about all the people not on this forum, who probably use them without cleaning that could inhale these nasty things.
Dynavap should either clean them more thoroughly or make it clear that all their products should be thoroughly cleaned before initial use.

The only information I found:
If my reasoning is correct, then they're from Monday untill Thursday in Amsterdam, but I can't find a cannabis related event on this website:
https://whatsupwithamsterdam.com/amsterdam-events-2018/
If more people from the Dynaverse are interested, maybe we can organise a "dynameeting"? I know a lovely place called 'Cause Beer Loves Food', close to the Leidseplein. They serve good beer...and good food. Not a big place, but the staff is super friendly.

And unlike what one might expect from using VapCaps other than omnis, the omni adjustment doesn't cover the air hole by twisting, but instead lengthens the condenser so that it blocks airflow AT THE TIP. I didn't realize that was the action of the omni condenser until I had one and could see how it worked.

I really like the one in top left. If there was one just like it except black instead of grey I would definitely want it. Is that even possible really? I don't recall ever seeing black titanium. Or maybe I did and just don't remember.I’ve just posted in the CLASSIFIEDS here on FC. . . more pictures there too. . .
It's easiest to imagine that you are an engine, the Omni condenser is an adjustable choke, the tip is providing fuel and the whole Vapcap itself is a carburetor. The fuel (vapour) flow is dependent on how hard you draw and the amount of air mixing is determined by the Omni condenser setting. This enriches or leans the vapour to air ratio.
The way that the tip and Omni interact is by a taper that is ground into both pieces. Advancing the omni out of the threads will push the tapers closer together, smoothly choking the airflow.
Have you sand blasted a Ti tip yet? I'm kinda curious if it would effect the heating, though I doubt it would.I’ve just posted in the CLASSIFIEDS here on FC. . . more pictures there too. . .

I was hoping to see George in Amsterdam also, but dates do not work.
He is there Mon, June 4 - Thurs, June 7 AM.
Another FCer and I had the pleasure of seeing his new shop in Wisc and it was very interesting.
Now we know where his livestream broadcasts come from, and where the VC magic happens
I'll be in Haarlem Tues, May 22- Thurs nt 5/24 and then
Amsterdam Friday 5/25 - Mon 5/28 if anyone wants to meet up.

This makes me wonder if the cost of DLC coatings have gone down? I know that Black Ti jewelry is done this way, it makes for an extremely durable mirror black coating.
An all black Omni would be
No I haven't. Been thinking about it though, there's some cool things you could do. Maybe I'll sacrifice a tip one day. . .

Yeah I've been thinking about red, black and grey as you might remember. I've misplaced the bag of stones.This makes me wonder if the cost of DLC coatings have gone down? I know that Black Ti jewelry is done this way, it makes for an extremely durable mirror black coating.

Just received my order of a TI spinning mouthpiece and 1 standard and 1 xl condensor. Disappointed to find they are both steel considering they were ordered way after the 420 sale. This is one of the problems with rolling out new products before officially announcing them.
Either upgrade everyone or don't bother.

Yet ,personally I admire another special characteristic that Titanium has .
And it is directly related to vaporizing.
(...)
When the titanium is exposed to ambient air at room temperature, a passive oxide film is spontaneously formed on its surface. This passive film is amorphous, very thin (5-10 nm thickness [9]), and composed of three layers [10, 11]: the first layer adjacent to metallic titanium is TiO, the intermediary layer is Ti2O3, and the third layer, which is in contact with the environment, is anatase TiO2. At room temperature, anatase TiO2 is the most important layer in thickness and responsible for the integration between the implant and the human bone when the material is not submitted to a thermal treatment at high temperature. The surface oxide film on titanium formed in the air is so protective that the further oxidation of titanium is prevented in various circumstances and mediums [12]. Even during sterilization in autoclave under a saturated water vapor pressure at 120 ºC for 1.8 ks, oxidation of titanium does not proceed [12].

Anatase.
A medium hard lustrous mineral.
Titanium is coated with it.
Titanium is a metal but regarding "taste" is behaving ,more or less, like glass.
A mineral -coated metal actually.
100% neutral & totally inert .
It does not have a "metallic taste" ,neither affects the taste of vapour.

Haven't said so in a while but your posts still educate me on lots of levels. Thanks man!
I do remember! It's interesting that you should say you misplaced the bag of stones. I once knew someone who lost their gem papers all the time... It was a serious problem for her.
I forgot to mention the bio compatibility and passivation that occurs naturally. That part is lovely. What I don't like about the metal is it's willingness to gall, gum up files and abrasives, and the tendency to crack before it bends very far.Yet ,personally I admire another special characteristic that Titanium has .

I have some old Ti drill pipe that I've always wanted to make some wind chimes from since it's such a musical metal. I might do that this summer.
