This was one of George's early VonGs. You never know, he might make you one if you ask nicely..
This gave me a thought (that I'm sure everybody but me already had): a plain titanium VonG body would be amazing. Especially paired with the titanium mouthpiece.

Some dude's already made one. I'll try to find the pic if I can.

@Quint, those 2 stems are stunning. Collectors' pieces for sure. 
And, blessed you, you're one of those collectors. Not too shabby. 
An understatement for sure.
@AddictedToCombustion, you know, your questions don't belong in this forum. This forum is for vapcap admirers & connoisseurs & your perpetual, unrelated questions are out of place. Do as @SloJimFizz suggested, start a thread in the Ask FC Forum -- Need help finding a vape. Tell them everything you're looking for in a vape & a bunch of people will post with suggestions. Then, you can go to the thread & read/research about the vape -- & when you know just enough, then, you can start asking educated questions of that community to get you where you going -- finding out if you think it's the right vape for you. You can't just jump in at the end of a thread & ask unrelated product questions. So, please do start that thread. And realize that making a selection takes time. If your funds are unlimited, then grab something less expensive just to hold you over while you're searching for your dream vape. 
The caps I got during the flash sale are larger that the caps I got back in July with the Ms, and even back then, I thought the M's caps could have been tighter. So, yeah, these caps are even looser than those 7 months ago. And seat, even slightly looser, on the new 7-fins. So I put the old caps on the new tips which works well & then squeezed the new caps enough & put them on the old tips. That's why I always thought it wise to purchase the same item between mfr. runs because of variance, & at this level of metal milling intricacy even being off the thickness of a hair (??? 
) can throw off the consistency of coupling between parts. @VapCap I want you to discuss in a future livefeed why those mfr'ing discrepancies occur. I'm seriously interested in knowing. Maybe some production video with your talk-over explaining what's going on.

@nickdanger no...I don't think so. At the very most, I might buy a bunch of ss tips and caps and give them out to friends at Christmas or for birthdays or just cuz. It'd be a nice personal touch and would cost less than an M. And I like the way the one I made looks and feels.
@Summer Try less than a hair, the difference between a tight fit and a loose fit can be as little as 0.05mm on the diameter.
I assume they’re stretching the caps from SS and laser cutting the digger and logo afterwards. This would mean that there’s a forming die and necking die or several sets of them which would need replacement eventually. It could be the case that the newer dies are slightly tighter toleranance or the necking die is was worn when your new caps were made. This would make them ever so slightly larger than your old ones.
Edit: Not a vapcap cap but the same idea.

Hey @beyond6strings, that cobalt glass is really nice! Looking good!
Did you also have the cobalt j-hook?

I've machined Ti before and I've been tempted to get my hands on some for this purpose but it's very cost prohibitive. There was a good diameter and length of it for a reasonable price, but it's gone from AKS now. Making the material is no trivial task, I've had quite a few talks with a material science engineer about making some apparatus that would streamline the process. The only issue was that the cost of making a vacuum or inert gas purged forging environment was also prohibitive. One can dream though. Most of the expense in making Timascus is in the clean up of the material after it is forged. The outside of the material is usually full of impartial welds and HEAVY oxidization. So a lot of it goes to waste and the Titanium is very hard on cutting tools.

The vapcap does something I've never seen
Somehow it always stays so clean
The reclaim that it makes don't taste great
But vape it and you'll go to outer-space

@ArthurJ thanks. I'm digging it. I do have a cobalt blue J hook, and the stems on my Milaana are also cobalt blue. It's probably my favorite color. I've got a shorter piece of the cobalt tube that I'm going to use to make a short stem to be used with the J hook. I find the carbless draw a little too restricted over that length for either my WP or J hook so I use it native and it's lovely for tasty mouth pulls.
In fact, from what I've learned off this one I'm going to experiment with lengths from 3.5" to 4" for native stems and 1.5" to 2.5" for Vong stems with fat mouthpieces. I think those will be better for those uses.
Experimenting is more than half of the fun.

You will be looking for a long time then - especially if you have low grade green that isn't grown properly - I used to have the same problem.
Why not ask someone in thr Milaana thread?

Better vapor how? thicker clouds or more like a long session with flavour with multiple hits with same amount?
For thicker clouds the only vape i know that competes in full extraction like dynavap is the Grasshopper (When working)
But use a single torch at the bottom of the cap on the dynavap and you will be blown away (Best trough glass with this method) Thick CLOUDS guaranteed!!!
For long sessions with more flavour you can always trust Arizer family.

Oh snap I know what to do! There's some people in the knife edc world that work with these materials a lot. I'm sure one of them could be found to work with in collaboration. I've been into knives quite a bit so I know some people in that industry.

Today’s cliffhanger:
Prognostic speculation (guesses) on tomorrow’s cliffhanger?
I made one last night.
Yes it will but if you cool it down either doing cool down hits or blowing on the tip it will so cooking.

You may be waiting a bit, Bud. Might be prudent to get on Pipes list.
However, if you @AddictedToCombustion are the one with pounds to spare you can snag a sterling one right away.
Money talks. Waiting sucks the big one. Big time.
I may sell you one of mine, or get one from some others.

Mods could you maybe give @AddictedToCombustion a little gentle instruction on the forum? I feel like he just kinda pukes all over this thread with non-vapcap stuff, and back-to-back posts.
And several have gently nudged him too, but to no avail.
