The reason for condensers are to protect the wood and give extra functionality to the carb. Without a condenser the wood would get soaked with condensed vapour, be a pain to clean and stink after a while. Since I line my stems with stainless steel you don't need a condenser tube to protect the wood.
I find that my condenser free, steel core, test mule is smoother and cooler until the vapour starts to tickle my throat (which is due to the potency of the vapour not the temperature). I was having issues with the condenser tube focusing the hot vapour on my lip and burning it. The wide tube diffuses the vapour and doesn't make it as hot on the lips.
Hi Cappers!
Just stopped by to tell a quick story. I took my VC's and Mighty to a poker game and golfing this week. The Mighty was a hit, however, everyone except one friend at poker enjoyed the VC's more than the Mighty.
I was pleasantly surprised how well the VC's worked out on the course. We started the round with the Mighty and then I handed each cart a dynastash and two VC's. The Mighty didn't get used again on the course... because the VC's were so much quicker and discrete and everyone could decide for themselves when they were ready.
So there you have it, once again DynaVap for the win!
Have a great Sunday!
If I am the luck of the draw, then yes that is the reason there were no customs! We all did start picking up customs charges at the end of last year, due to the dollar sterling change I believe.
That is quite alright. I felt someone had to take the initiative. I worded my email thoughtfully, dont want to be obvious should prying eyes invade the line. The guys had already set product prices very low for the exact intention, except their calculation was slightly off.

Until I informed the guys that the VAT import threhold in the UK is £15.
The team responded warmly and understandingly and since then, Dynavap have reduced the prices of all their products so that no matter what we order, the total is only $15 now, if you get me that is.
I will hapily accept 10 p donations from here on, a sort of royalty, from all UK customers!
Got to take the credit where its due eh?
... speaking of in the mail... looks like I'm getting the VapCap delivered today!
Sounds like it's going to be a good day......my new Burl Omnivap is out for delivery!... speaking of in the mail... looks like I'm getting the VapCap delivered today!
Hey folks. Its a new day, a sunny day (ish) here in Bedford UK. I am pleased to say that for the moment my outlook on life is radically different from the previous days when I was really suffering in misery.
...out for delivery is the best feeling
...enjoy, friends!
let me clarify my choice. Both are mainly made of glass parts and are in the same price range. I'm curious about the differences in tase and usability. 
Weird, my cocobolo XLS has no detectable scent and does not affect the taste of my herbs at all. Maybe the ebony is more pungent than the other woods? An Omnivap XL might suit you better (yes they do exist, but not on the website - just have to call them to order one).
Interesting, as soon as I opened the box of my walnut SBJ the smell hit me like a wall. A week into using it daily the wood taste had barely subsided, not enough to make me want to keep it. Got a cherry version, sold the walnut, and never looked back.
