You, @ataxian must now have the “M” imprinted in your DNA.

Tiny blue marble that we are. But alive. :love::spliff: :clap::cheers::leaf:

Hopefully some demented nut will refrain from causing the blue to code RED.

Happy 2018!

thanks Ricardo. Gonna fly with my M soon.. i know soaking the cap in iso is not recommended, but is it bad to rub the cap with an iso soaked q-tip?

Fuuck. Would be nice to go to high on a mountain far away from civilization at night, and vape. And look at the milky way...

I have traveled to 12 countries in Europe since last summer, i carry my vapcap in my "toilet" bag.
I always clean it with ISO before departure, on my way home i just clean it with hot boiling water and q-tips.

I have not had a problem so far at all, but DO NOT take on your zip and handles on the carry on bag with sticky fingers, they will check those places first, and if anything on them that indicates drugs then they will open the bags bla bla bla you get the picture.

i know soaking the cap in iso is not recommended.

I combusted twice when I first started with the OmniVap due to operator error. I got cocky and waded into the deep end of the pool (lower on cap) where only the pros are allowed.

I simply disassembled and placed the pieces, including the cap, into an ISO bath for a few minutes.

Remove pieces from bath, rinse with water and dry, install a new @Squiby approved hemp filter, and you are ready to go with a sparkling clean unit. With the all titanium unit cleaning is easy.

I have had zero problems placing the caps in ISO.

Does DynaVap recommend that we not do this, and if so, why?

Back to reality, oops there goes gravity.
Mini vaca is over, Omni and day weed container packed, now layering up to brave this harsh 45°f morning. :p
Sure, a lot of you would be in tank tops debating a swim when compared to the weather your waking and baking to. I could not function in that shit. Spent a week in Maine in -4° as a smoker, what a pita to get suited up to smoke a cig or grab a yank. Stay warm all my cold weathered friends. :ninja: <-- That's you all, bundled up.
@pxl_jockey Thanks for the kind words my friend. Love your spirit and attitude, especially going through some of the stuff your dealing with.:cheers:

Has anybody got an idea how one could elegantly hook up a vapcap to a Magic Flight bottle rocket or UFO ?
Would be a grreat on the go tool.

they are body made for tube or stem connection though.
any chance they could be used with the VC ?

aaaand:

do these wooden bodys fit the tip snuggly like the M stem?
I hope so because they have these metal rings.
can anybody confirm the tight fit ?
tighter than the wooden vong.

I see no mechanical or chemical issue with washing the cap in IPA. Set it on something warm afterwards. Warm pan (~100*F) works to evaporate the IPA from the snap disk chamber. Don’t use a torch to dry it. Rapid pressure rise could pop the disk out.

Edit: only use 90% IPA or higher and dry it asap. Rust is the only issue I can think of if done wrong. Hair dryer would be a good heat source as well.

Whats the connection like on the UFO? I just use an o-ring around the mouth piece area to with any 10-14mm joints.

I say this everytime Im wrenching on my truck and looking for the right size socket from my pile of disorganized sockets D:
IMO, Metric is a double edged sword in Canada. Our liquids are metric but I still think in quarts. All my cooking is measured in cups and tablespoons. Distances are measured in Km but I convert to miles constantly. Construction is a mix of imperial (2 x 4 studs which actually measure 1 1/2" x 3 1\2") and metric (drill bits), even though some drill bits are imperial. All my measuring rules and tapes are in inches. I have sockets and wrenches in both, because you need both on hand. I think in Celsius now but sometimes still have to convert to Fahrenheit for comparison. Gardening is Imperial with It's 6" pots and the digging of a foot deep hole. Rain and snow fall is Metric.

It's a total mish mash and I'm all messed up. I was schooled on Imperial and live in a partially Metric converted world. But all is well when I heat up my 4 1/2" Vapcap with It's 62 x 10mm stem. Then it all comes together and makes perfect sense.

My wood midsections fit snugly. I have the first gen turned Vongs and straight bodies/stems. If you have a loose fit, changing the o-rings for fresh new ones may make the difference.

I don't think the metal crowns make much difference. They don't really wrap over into the interior much at all. Their purpose is to maintain the integrity of the end grain. They protect them from cracking from heat and rubbing from the spinning mouthpieces.

By its nature, wood will expand in high humidity and contract in dry conditions. The best thing to do to maintain your wood is to condition it regularly. I rub mine down with @phattpiggie s wood conditioner every month.

So it is ok to place the caps in 90% ISO?

Not familiar with IPA. Is that ISO by another name.

We absolutely positively need another DynaVap sales blowout this week!

This thread is almost 1000 pages long and @Squiby is VERY CLOSE to 2000 posts! :o

The planets are aligned George so show us some love. :love:

Señor @LabPong
I think what @armani is saying don't touch the outside of your carry-on, especially the zippers and handles, if your fingers happen to be smelly&sticky from handling your icky, sticky, dank, stanky weed. Solid advice. I must concur, I was once swabbed down: they did my handle/zipper as well as my palms and fingers. Because Texas + longish hair. Just wash your hands people, like your mama taught you!

I had the tastiest bit of hashy omni reclaim this afternoon... :razz: Thick clouds that kept coming, I tried my best but couldn't finish & saved the rest for later... VapCaps - They just keep on giving & going!

@Godspeed Yessir, IPA=IsoPropyl Alcohol. Not sure why the P gets capped? Yes you can soak caps a bit in iso, just rinse and dry. In new DV literature, it says no soaking in flammable liquids but I took this as a sign that more VCs are getting out there. DV have to actively prevent some idiot from suing them because they didn't say "don't soak this in kerosene while filling your butane lighter and shooting off fireworks"
More mainstream = more half-wits not using common sense.

Sadly that's the state of America the litigious. Like the, "Don't stick your head out the roof" sticker next to the sunroof on my car. We all know (or should) that ISO or Everclear or acetone are the best liquids for removing the sticky residue that results from consuming our goddess of goodness, but the flammable nature of these liquids requires George to include the CYA language. That doesn't change the fact that these are the best cheap and available products for the job.
The cap is the only component that really poses any risk, and that is only if you are not smart (or aware to be kind) enough to realize that it should be dry before applying a torch, because it COULD have a little still fluid ISO under the clicking disks and "pop" a little. It still shouldn't be dangerous, it's not petrol, but shit does happen, so if you DO soak a cap, just don't use it till you are sure its dry.

If I had a dead cap I would try it just for fun, but all my caps are viable so no, I'll pass.
 
Think I might bite the bullet and get one of the m versions,I'm not a massive smoker ,and definitely love to try the microdose routine ,I have a bit of social anxiety and would love a little hit rather drink alchohol ,alchohol is having a reverse affect the next day higher anxiety on me these days , anybody have any suggestions on which strains are good for mood lift and sociability

If you use a bic to heat what is the heat up time?
I read it leaves soot too. Is that hard to clean off?
Torches aren't really the most discreet...
anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds in my experience. Though I wouldn't say it's more discreet. I feel funnier holding it over the candle flame for so long than 5 or 10 seconds over the torch

You might try some Jamaican dream, Blue Dream or Pineapple Express.

Can can search strains for common effects on https://www.leafly.ca and pair that info with the strains available where you are.

A soft flame like a bic will take about 30 seconds to heat a Vapcap. But 30 seconds is a long time to hold down the trigger. Your thumb will get hot! If you use a soft flame, it must be used where there is no draft or wind, so it really is only useful indoors. To avoid a hot thumb, choose a candle flame instead.

Soot can be avoided by keeping the cap above the flame. Get too close and you'll create a black layer of it that will need to be wiped off.

I don't use a torch, they are far too aggressive for my Vapcap. I prefer a small single jet butane lighter. My favorite lighter is the size of the Vapcap and can discretely heat the cap in a few seconds and is far more discrete than endlessly fumbling around with a hot bic. Having said that, I do enjoy heating my Vapcap with a candle while soaking leisurely in the tub.

It seems if you want to be discreet, from my brief usage of this thing, you would want to go the quad flame lighter and just heat quick. With my dual torch it's 5-10 seconds. But if I had a quad torch, I could quickly get this thing to temp, hit and be done. In that respect, I'd get yourself a quad/triple torch and focus on quick/even heating for discreetness rather than having a bic lighter out for a very long period of time, which I imagine is far less discreet.
