Dynavap VapCap

[cybrguy]

This yields a relatively light yet still thoroughly extracted material.

I've been seeing this and I thought I was nuts. How interesting...

To be clear, full extraction without going to dark ABV.

What tip had better performance? Did I misunderstand that the Gen 5 s are better at extracting fully?

 

[cybrguy]

Yeah, I am talking about the LE tip in particular.

It happens to be on my Ti Omni XL now because it looks best on it, but I had similar behavior on the new XL Vong I put together before I switched it to the Ti.

We probably shouldn't call them Gen5s because I don't think he intends to keep making them.

For my high temp finishers, I heat at the bottom of the cap, and stop right when I hear the click. The Gen 5 extracts a LITTLE more than the LE, but it's barely anything, and its ABV can be much darker. I had been hearing about some convection vapes that extract everything yet don't have dark ABV and I thought it was likely impossible, but seeing that the LE 7-fin can do it has made me a believer.

The LE 7-fin seems to have optimized extraction vs. not getting into scorchy zones where the bud gets near black.

What I have been calling "Gen 5" is the 5-fin Ti tip.

How light are we talking? Also the grasshopper can fully expect to a medium to medium dark brown.

This is weird. I want to hear what George says about it. It doesn't really make sense to me.

I too have been questioning myself over this new tip behavior. Especially since the heat seems to want to concentrate on the top of the bowl with this one. Heating it in the middle the whole time results in a more browned top and less browned bottom which is the opposite of the behavior I was used to with my gen 3 tip. I can actually heat through the entire bowl on the very bottom of the cap without it combusting or even getting overly dark. It's weird, man. I've been struggling quite a bit with trying to get my technique down due to that, and also just trying to convince myself I'm still getting everything of use out of my herb with it being so pale. I'm paranoid, I keep thinking if I don't get it dark brown I'm going to miss something.

So you just bring the VC and get fixed up with torch and butane at the destination? thats my plan, gonna ship a box with a can of butane and an extra torch I don't use.

Bingo, or have your sources lined up at destination. Either works.

I don't think sourcing a torch lighter should be an issue. I've seen colobri torch lighters in the Istanbul airport duty free shop now that I think about it. I was actually scoping them it but didn't see anything that suited price or otherwise.

So I've been doing a ton of research and I'm pretty much at the point where I know I'll be picking up an Omnivap XL. Probably sometime this month or next. Anyone know if sales are at all regular with Dynavap, or is it a fairly uncommon thing? Looks like it'll cost $208+ for everything, definitely wouldn't mind saving a few bucks.

They do weekly flash for 12 hours starting at 6 pm CST that include free shipping. They have done a %15 off sale on 4/20

Welcome aboard! If no applicable sale comes up between now & then, wait for the 4/20 sale. If I'm right (as I wasn't around then), it's 15%-off with free ship.

I tested a couple of loads. In the LE 7-fin tip on Ti Omni XL, I took 2-3 inhalations powered by a triple torch, and a last hit with a single flame near the bottom of the cap for max temp. This yields a relatively light yet still thoroughly extracted material. (Awesomely fast airflow, but you might need a little technique to not burn yourself with hot air [I coughed a couple of times] or draw too fast and prematurely cool your hit, though I'm not sure if that's physically possible or just psychological tricks.) I transferred this ABV to my 5th Gen tip NonaVonG and did a triple flame cycle followed by a max temp single flame hit through dry glass to observe vapor production, and I was pleasantly surprised that only very little additional vapor could be pulled while also making the ABV significantly darker (dark to superdark brown).

It seems that Dynavap may be perfecting the technology to allow for maximal extraction while all but eliminating the chances of combusting or scorching your material and your own skin, for that matter! I believe in George's vision for the future. All the ti tips are pretty great especially post Gen 3, it seems.

I thought the same as you do regarding the abv from the new 7 Fin tip until I put it in my 5 fin tip and got 2 more heat cycles from it. I think the new tips allow more air flow but this in turn lowers the temperature in the chamber giving lighter coloured abv.

Waiting for the delivery service to bring me a nice package full of different wood and a carbon fiber body, together with two new Omni condensers... It's a bit like christmas, back when I was a child...

Are you shure it’s 15%—would be more symbolic for it to be 20% (specially if you purchase
4 of an item).

Haha, more VapCaps, please.

Going for that exXtra length—difficult stretch if you are into small.

So you didn't have to swap over to the 5-fin, you could have just as well finished off those 2 in the 7-fin. Right?

I was under the impression it was 20%, but someone recently said 15%. But what you say makes sense -- 20% on 4/20. But was it really, if you bought 4, or you just made that up stark! If made up, it's a good idea to do.

I made it up. Get ye to sleep, before the sun strikes (6:19AM EST)!

With mine I've noticed if I switch the ABV from my new tip back to my gen 3 I can get a -slight- wisp of vapor more from the gen 3 more compared to the LE tip but it is such a small amount and has a negligible effect.

I received my Titanium Omnivap XL on Saturday in the mail. I have a question about the condenser tube and the adjustable air flow mechanism is loose on the tube. It feels like it slides to easily back and forth and moves to easily. I feel like the mouth piece spins to freely as well. Is it supposed to be like that?

 

[stark1]

So, sounds like the razor thin fins dissipate heat efficiently, complete extraction requires
a longer heat up time?

A different ballgame in the make.

Dear all,

I have just received my differents stems and here is something that annoys me since quite some time and I am sure that you great guys & gals have a solution for me:

Most of my TI tips sit somehow loose in their stems. Some less, some more. That sucks. Even with new o-rings. What would MacGyver do? Seriously: I fear that some of them could come off while turning the Vapcap.
Thank you so much in advance for your guidance!

Wrap just a tiny bit of thread in the o-ring grooves then slip the o-ring back over it. This will tighten up the fitment of your tips in the stems.

They really shouldn't be fitting that loose though. especially if they're new stems.

I had problems with loose caps in my last order and ended up using a pair of jewelry pliers to squeeze the cap tighter. Problem solved. But I feel your pain.

EDIT: realized it's not a cap problem. Sorry. Winegums gave a good answer.

It's not the cap that is causing problems - It's the tip itself and its fit into the stem/body.

Sorry just reread your post and edited mine. My carbon fiber stem was loose when I first got it and it seemed to tighten up a bit after some heating cycles. I'd try Winegums solution.
