Dynavap VapCap

I would love to visit Spannabis and see what's going on over there. But, like Dr. Phil said, family first!

For the people that visit Spannabis: have fun

I thought I'd have my IH too by now but this Mag heater guy is driving me crazy. It was a big mistake odering from him. I don't like to hate publicly but his unreliability is beyond acceptable limits. Like if sending ordered stuff or answering to messages is optional. No news after the 2 months announced delivery. No answers on any channel. Then an answer after I start to annoy him publicly on reddit : " I'll send it tomorrow" then disappears again. And the guy keeps on developping stuff and posting about it while he doesn't respect his commitments.

Remind you of any other companies?

No I was lucky with my company choices until now.

@Chainfish it reminds me of an individual who plays the same games.
Doesn't honour their commitments but seems perfectly able to send out to people they feel will influence their sales.

@Daprezz there is no reason to call it 'hating' its essential feedback which everyone should appreciate.

The VC community needs to know about this kind of behaviour so people can make informed choices on whom they want to spend their hard earned money with.

I decided to file agressively the notches in my Ti Tips to obtain a much better "full vapor" airflow. And guy THIS IS AMAZING. I draw so easily on it even with the carb hole closed. I ajusted my Omnis to be more restricted and now for the same airflow as before I have a much dense vapor, this a game changer !

While I don't doubt that Chryos feels like he is getting a better experience, I would caution folks about jumping in and aggressively filing their Ti tips. This is a highly engineered device designed by a brilliant guy who is constantly looking for ways to improve his product. If something as simple as opening the airpath in this way actually improved performance I can't imagine that they/he wouldn't have applied that adjustment to the design. He does appear to have recently added "wings" to the cutout but I don't yet have an example of that.
My guess would be that increasing the air flow under the cap too much might reduce the heating of the air taking place and reduce the amount of vapor produced, but that is only a guess and I am not an engineer...
No offense, Chyros, we love suggestions and George has occasionally taken suggestions from his users to make changes so don't let me discourage you. I just think this particular one may have some downsides.

Well, that's what uncivilized people do

Agree with you here. I have not made any changes to my Vapcaps. I figure they know better than me.
Nothing against people who have modified their own Vapcaps. I would probably ruin the thing if I tried it lol.

Even Dynavap makes changes to their own products, the 2 first Ms didn't have the notches on the tip, and the new 2019 have ones. They want to have a better airflow on their product. I agree George is a thinking machine so it's very probable they didn't file deeper grooves like that because of something. But if you look at the evolutions of the tips, they seems to add deeper and deeper groves in each iterations. And I saw people on this forum and friends of mine doing the same things to have a better experience.

I thought about the temperature change and talked about it in my last post. The temperature is regulated by the speed of the air in the heating chamber, if you draw fast it cools it, and if you draw slowly it keep it warm, so I think this mod make just the drawing easier, but as this is easier to inhale with a better airflow, maybe you want to inhale very fast because of it. It maybe needs a better control of the device, but nothing really hard.

Also, I saw here some tests showing that the air pre-warmed by the helixes does indeed increase the temperature inside the extraction chamber proving the convection process of the vapcap... I don't have the equipements to mesure what my changes did so I can't really confirm my words. But I can just say that it works very well this way...

I really don't want to lead anyone ruining his or her own Vapcap, so you're right saying to not do like me without thinking. I did it for testing, searching to improve my vaporizer, and puting my part helping the community to evolve (and because I have multiple Vapcap x) ), and not to say everyone to do like me, just sharing my own experience and personal results. I hope you understand.

@Daprezz i had similar times ordering my mag heater....

Ordered when his listing said he had 5 ready to go. Then I waited 2/3weeks for the buttons to arrive so he could make it...

Never told me i had to closely monitor the voltage /charge as using it below so many volts would kill it... Nor did his webpage say this.. So i accidentally killed the battery on the first day using it until the battery was low...

Bought myself another battery (exact same), plugged charger in straight away to top off the battery.. and charger wouldn't charge.. I relayed the activity of the charger's lights to the seller and he said i needed a new charger...

Waited way way over a month for a new charger from him, pestering him nearer the end (while he was still posting all his inventing on his blog)

While waiting for a charger my 2nd battery 100% discharged itself inside the totally unused IH...?

Charger arrived, unit still didn't charge another new battery. Sent everything back to him...

Waited several weeks until he'd fixed the duff BMS board And sent it back to me... (He was still posting/making his new usb charger and wooden enclosures on his webpage)

Finally got it back,
He'd added a light i didn't want and the position the vc stopped in the coil was way higher and it clicked in about 1 second producing no vapor.. obviously....

I've adjusted it myself now and finally have a working IH that i hate monitoring the battery of for fear of draining it too much in an evening...

I never posted my experience because I think i was in his first round and didn't want to knobble his reputation too early... We all need a break here and there.
But reading your post so long after mine... Perhaps this guy just isn't going to cut it?

My overall opinion is that i prefer a torch anyway, but my IH doesn't seem like it's the most likely to change my mind on that... I'll try again once the DV one is released....

I didn't want to impact his reputation too because he seems to be a "special"guy and not beeing very organised myself I am usually very tolerant. But there is a real problem of trust and communication not only the guy struggling to be square.

Actually the temperature is regulated by at least a half dozen things, including the speed of the air movement, the ambient air temp, the heating source, where you apply it on the cap, the material of the tip, etc. While VapCaps seem like simple devices, they really are not. Once we understand how the variables we control change our experience they are easy to use, but how they actually work is really not simple. And getting them to work well is something of an art. Most who have become artists tend to really love them. I know I do.

I love my Vapcaps and the wonderful respected after market artists that make my Vapcaps unique. All of my experiences within the Dynaverse have been an absolute delight, except for my most recent experience, with the Simrell Collection.

My initial post about a three piece Simrell set I purchased last September was very positive. Unfortunately I now feel that that review is misleading.

I loved the stem, case and stash that I recieved, but after a short time my case and stash looked like this.







Each picture represents a different crack. One of the magnets fell out. The case lid became very loose while the stash lid became too tight to remove with my bare hands.

In November, Simrell promised to replace the stash and case. First he admitted that he used a flawed process, then later claimed that he's never had pieces crack before. Every few weeks I was told that he was busy with the holiday orders. This continued throughout December, January and February. It was always the excuse of being otherwise busy with a backlog and that he'll get to me. He'll get to me...

I asked him to make me another stem along with my replacement pieces and to ship them to me together.

I learned that he had been accepting and fulfilling orders all along. No backlog. Just giving me lip service. People had placed orders which were being made and shipped out in a few days. Then some pressure was applied and he finally sprang into action, claiming to grant me the favour of placing me at the top of the list....After waiting almost three months! He said he would step up his game and make me a wonderful set and that he was throwing the stem in for free.

When the parcel arrived, I was faced with more disappointment. The stash and case were made with a more simple design compared to the original. The finish, not as fine. The case was bigger while the stem is shorter and the stem didn't match my request as it was made in a different style and didn't have an integrated condenser, a detail which he confirmed it would have before he sent them and it had an air port which I did not want. Based on what I recieved, I would guess that I was sent some rejects that were laying around his workshop. Very disappointing.

I wish I had just requested a refund or better yet not purchased anything from him in the first place. His pieces are very expensive but don't carry the quality or consistency of any of the other after market artists. I feel that he is inexperienced with his craft and that it will be some time before he can offer the consistently high quality products and execute the great customer service that we have all come to expect in the Dynaverse. Very sad.

I love it when you buy something and it turns out better than expected and you get that tickle of joy in your belly and you congratulate yourself for your clever purchase. That's how I felt when I purchased my Vacaps and when I bought my @phattpiggie and @stardustsailor stems and @Pipes IH. The Simrell experience was at the very other end of the customer service satisfaction spectrum.

I need a few @stardustsailor pieces to round out the incredible wood pieces that I have from @phattpiggie and @Ed’s Tnt. Well, maybe need is too strong a word, but my experiences with him, PP and Pipes have been excellent. Stay medicated, my friends...

In brighter news, there are some good creators, who are newer, but still reliable. Will plug @mrb for aftermarket stems. He was nice to deal with, prompt, fairly priced, and delivered a beautiful product. It seems he is just starting off creating stems, but I am pleased with the stem I got. It's titanium so no need for worry, like with wood, so long as everything fits ok, which it does.



I added the tip, and mouthpiece myself.

I think it's important that all experiences get shared here, so people can make informed decisions about where exactly their cash goes. Thanks for sharing and sorry you had to deal with that @Squiby - on the flip side of the coin, you could always give it your cats! I seem to remember you saying they like your stems anyway

That's a beautiful stem. I look forward to buying one of his stems one day soon. Lovely and sleek @mrb stems will compliment my metal collection for sure!!!

i'm gonna get me a @mrb stem i thinks ... once he's back to making them again

Wow, lots of great info being shared today. Customer service is a major factor in my book so I appreciate all the reviews. Thanks!

I'll add a recommendation for @mr_cfromcali and his Flux Deluxe IH. I love mine. There's a bit of a waiting list but in the long run it's well worth the time IMHO.

Finally got a chance to use the M with my bubbler. This was using the fat mouthpiece attachment, which works in a pinch but I will need to get some glass or a Dynavong for long term use.

I was getting some insane vapor after three hits. And the taste in those early hits, my god what a beauty. I just picked up some Mickey Kush and I was picking up all its flavor notes.

I love this vape!

Oh, Oh! Look out!

Looks like you crossed the line
when you cross the Queen of VapCaps!

@Squiby not sure if you own an @Ed's TnT wooden stem yet?

I bet you do, your collection is out of this world

This beautiful Koa stem landed in my hand last week and gave me that tickle of joy in my belly you talk about. I couldn't stop moving and twisting it, especially in the sunlight.
Ed likes to please and pleases he does!

I will be doing more business in the future with that kind of guy.
The cactus was the closest thing I could find to match the beauty of this stem.

@Ed's TnT is great! I do have a few of his straight stems when he was making them for sale through Dynavap.

I've coveted the stunning WoodScents, but I haven't pulled the trigger on one of them yet. They are totally stunning!!!

The only direct purchase I've made from Ed were a couple of Vapman stems. The stems were lovely and he was great to work with.

Your stem is a beauty! Lovely grain. Is it a custom stem?

Hello @Squiby

I’m terribly saddened, and utterly surprised, that your experience was such to warrant this sort of review. I do apologize for the time in which it took to replace your Odorless case and odorless stash. I was hoping that the complimentary matching body that I included would’ve been an acceptable token of my apology.

I’m afraid there must’ve been some miscommunication. I never said nor meant to imply that you would be receiving a full replacement order. There was nothing wrong with your stem, so there was no need for it to be replaced. I do know that you were interested in an additional stem, but those details where never finalized. As I mentioned above, the additional body was complimentary and not inteded to be your “new stem.”

Orders throughout the holiday season were much higher than I had anticipated. It’s regretfully true, but not a single piece shipped sooner than 14 days since octobor of last year.

I will admit that due to the overwhelming high demand of my accessories, Ive come to realize that there are improvements that need to be made. It is just me that handcrafts every piece that leaves my shop. I hold Simrell Collection to a high standard and i am implementing new systems so this doesn’t happen.

The Simrell Collection is my sole means to provide for my fiancé and infant child, so I take my integrity in this industry very seriously.

If you are still unsatisfied I will issue you a full refund. If you would like to proceed via this avenue, please message me directly. I would like to find a resolution for this situation and hopefully one day I can earn your business again.

Just inspired me to grab one of @Ed's TnT over at vgoodiez... $30 for a carbed xl stem? what a steal!

I really did not intend to buy another vapcap but... here I am... ...probably will need to buy a cap/tip for this now...

Squiby said:

Your stem is fantastic! Lovely grain. Is it a custom stem?

Thank you! My first stem was a Blackwood in the same shape design I believe he does for the WoodScents? I liked that it had a larger mouth piece and was full length with a xl condenser.

The Koa stem which is custom, I asked if he could keep it same full length but turn it how ever he wanted too? He nailed it

I cant wait to see what design he comes up with on my next stem.
