The Dynavap line of Vaporizers are modular, meaning that most of the parts are interchangable.
Dynavap introduced a custom compontent ordering process, a year or so ago, to allow a customer to easily 'build' and see their own Vapcap and the total price and then order that build. So you would choose your midsection, mp, and tip to create a VapCap that is uniquely yours. For anyone wanting a specific build, the Dynabuilder was easier than having to order the individual components from their parts page.
sooooooo. ive had my M for about 3 months now. still have not cleaned it.
whats the best way? just take apart and soak in ISO for a few minutes, rinse off and wipe down?
I mostly just swab out my condenser and tip with ISO. But there different ways to approach a cleaning depending on how soiled it is...
There are several ways to go about cleaning your Vapcap. Here are a few methods.
The parts that require cleaning are the tip, CCD screen and the inside of the condenser.
FIRST USE. You should clean your Vapcap before using it to remove any machining residues. To clean your Vapcap before first use, disassemble your Vapcap by first removing the cap and pulling off the tip then using the digger outter to push out the condenser. If you have an Omni, remove the condenser by pulling it out by the mouthpiece. Then pop out your CCD screen by placing your tip opening down on a towel and then pushing the CCD out with the condenser pushing down through the neck. Moisten a Q-Tip with your favorite cleaner and run it through the tip and condenser and both sides of the screens. Rinse with warm water and leave to dry completely before re-assembling.
1. DEEP CLEAN. You can take your Vapcap completely apart, remove the orings and soak your bits in your cleaner of choice. This would be a deep clean approach suitable for times when you have combusted or have a badly soiled Vapcap.
I occasionally do a deep clean using a nontoxic cleanser that does not affect the orings. I mix Zeus Cleanser with very hot water. This mixture is poured into the doob tube that the Vapcap came in. The tip, the screen and the condenser or Omni condenser/mp is then placed in the doob tube. Shake and then soak for 10 minutes or so. Remove the parts from the doob tube and swab them out with a moist Q-Tip. When no more gunk can be removed and everything is shiny clean, rinse well with clean clear water and leave out to dry completely before re-assembling. Then have a toke to celebrate your good work.
Serious grime might need over night soaking.
You can use ISO to clean your tips and condensers. Don't soak any orings in it for lengthy periods. The instructions caution against using ISO because it is flammable. If you rinse and thoroughly dry your Vapcap after cleaning with ISO, you'll be fine.
2. TIP SOAK. The tip can soaked without removing the orings by placing it upside down in a shallow bath of cleaner leaving the neck of the tip and the orings clear of the solution. After the soak, swab the tip out with a moist Q-tip rinse and dry completely.
3. Q- TIP SWAB.
I clean my Vapcaps once every month or two. I use a hemp filter sandwiched between two screens. This keeps the condenser completely free of any tiny particulates and very very clean for a long time. It also creates a very smooth non irritating vapor. When the flavor goes off I remove the screens and filter, moisten a Q-Tip with cleaner and run it through the tip and condenser and both sides of the screens. After rinsing and drying I place one screen in the bottom of the tip, add a fresh degummed hemp fiber filter and top it off with another screen.
The midsection and wood mouthpieces do not need cleaning. However, wood bodies, stems and mps all benefit from a light coating of hemp oil/beeswax or some other nice wood conditioner.
4. TORCH THE TIP. You can quickly clean the herb chamber and screen by simply applying your jet lighter to the tip interior and screen. The flame will burn out any debris in no time.
