WHICH of these 2 vaporizers would you purchase?

[maryjane]

Would like to know if anyone has tried either of these (or both) and could provide some feedback on which you would go with. New to vaping - wanted to go with the convection option (ceramic chamber), portable device - for dry herb. Cannot find too much information on the vuber nova - not from the company's website. If you see any pros/cons to either of these or have tried either would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks!

The Vuber Nova

Ergonomic and durable, this is a high powered variable temperature machine with a ceramic convection heating chamber capable of performing all your vaping needs. The Nova not only brings your flower to vaping temps in under thirty seconds with a large cleaner cloud, but it is also capable of passing to a friend with no need for reheating. If you want the whole half gram chamber to yourself that's fine too.

Seconded. If not a Fury then a VapCap if you are on a tight budget. Its more butane based but an induction heater allows electric use. Either way performance, flavor, and support will be far superior than the two models you suggested.

 

[Godspeed]

The three portables I own are the Firefly2 and two titanium OmniVaps by DynaVap.

Once the OmniVaps arrived I have not touched the Firefly2 in over nine months.

 

[JCharles]

As others have mentioned a Fury 2 or DynaVap M are great choices for less $$.

There are a number of very high reccomended vapes in and around that price point.

@maryjane
Why did you narrow your choices down to these two?

 

[Squiby]

Another vote for the Vapcap. After buying several vapes I finally stumbled on the Vapcaps by Dynavap. These are very efficient, beautifully engineered vapes.

They are tiny and will fit in a pocket. Basically the size and shape of a cigarette. They can be heated with almost any heat source. You will save lots of money on herb as they are very efficient. You will be surprised how high you get on a tiny amount.

The company and customer service is second to none. George, the inventor and manufacturer is perhaps the nicest person you will ever come across. The Vapcap thread is filled with stories of his unparalleled kindness and generosity.

Vapcaps handle dry herb, hash and concentrates with ease.

Vapcaps come in several models. Everyone should own at least one. The all stainless steel M model goes for $50. The ti tipped Woody sports a choice of beautiful wood midsection and goes for around $100. Then there is the top of the line, all titanium Omnivap. It has a threaded condenser/mouthpiece that dials in your preference air flow. It is considered indestructible. You can run over it with heavy equipment and your SUV then take a break an have a toke with your Omni.

Vapcaps are modular so you can switch up bodies and mouthpieces and condensers and tips to create your own custom Vapcap. LEGO for stoners.

This is a vape that will be work when the lights go out, off grid or in an ice storm, after battery operated vapes fail and go dead.

My daily drivers are only Vapcaps now. Beautiful. Affordable. Efficient. Built to last.

Fury 2 ☺

 

[Diggy Smalls]

I actually own an app... But I don't use it. It works. It's not very efficient, doesn't taste too good, add you have to let it cool when between sessions. It usually takes 3 sessions to finish a bowl unless I put it on the highest setting, but that tastes even worse.
While it's heating up vapor just leaks right out the mouthpiece. The lid is barely held on and falls off when it's in my pocket. It's tiny.

Technically it takes 30 seconds to get to the highest heat level, but it's just very very weak vapor at that point. The cake seems to just get hotter add hotter the longer it's on. After doing a few minutes in low, switching to high is almost instant... But if you do it right after reaching the first temp, it takes longer...

It also has no way of contacting too glass. The mouthpiece gets very warm and even hot with normal use.

I do not recommend you buy one unless you happen to be in a shop and in need of a vape right then and there. If you can order one the community trusts, do it. Neither brand is trusted here, and I have learned to trust the experience of many.

Which one are you speaking of? I am not clear on which one you were reviewing that you were not happy with ? So which do you recommend then?

 

[Diggy Smalls]

APX was auto corrected to "app". I have the APX and cannot recommend it.

Damn well written, now I want one.

 

[beyond6strings]

@maryjane I will also throw out my recommendation of the Dynavap. I got one because of all the comments on FC. I got it Saturday and it's the best vape Ive ever had. I love my Milaana too, but for the $ the Dynavap is impossible to beat IMHO.

I had a Pulsar. No thanks.

 

[maryjane]

Thank you all so much for taking the time to offer your feedback and thoughts - they really have helped enormously. Based on the general consensus of what I have read above - I have decided to order the Vapcaps by Dynavap 'M' model. I am not quite clear on how it heats up though....I don't see much info on the website on the item, hope it comes with a manual or some info. on how to use properly. Any info. on the specifics on how this heats would be appreciated.

They have a whole bunch of videos here: https://www.dynavap.com/videos

Get a good two or three flame butane torch. And you'll be happy and amazed.

The Vapcap can be heated with almost any heat source, the most common being a butane lighter and the @Pipes Induction Heater. Other heat sources are bic lighters, candles, oil lamps, stove elements, camp fire sticks, Solar heaters etc.

While you wait for the Vapcap, read the Best of Vapcap thread.

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/best-of-dynavap-vapcap.24345/

Watch the Dynavap videos

https://www.dynavap.com/videos

Then practise twirling a cigarette or a pen/pencil so you can heat your Vapcap evenly when it arrives and in anticipation of the big day.

In a nutshell, the herb chamber or "tip" contains your bud. On the exterior of the tip are air channels. A "cap" covers the tip. The cap has two bi-metal discs sealed in the top of the cap. When the side of the cap is heated the discs buckle and make a clicking noise, indicating that it is at toking temperature and that you can stop heating. As you toke the cap cools down. When it clicks again (we call this a cooling click) it indicates that the temps are below toking temps and that you can heat it again.

Where you apply heat to the cap indicates the temperature of the herb chamber. Heat applied at the bottom of the cap will result in higher temps because it takes longer for the heat to reach the bimetal discs. Heat near the top of the cap for cooler temps.

Induction heaters are simple; you just insert your Vapcap into the glass heating tube and press down lightly to activate the heating coils. Continue to heat a couple seconds past the click for best results.

When you toke, air is heated as it is pulled through the air channels on the tip exterior and flows into the herb chamber and through the herb, vaporizing it. Cooling air enters the air intake hole in the midsection and joins the hot vapor as it is drawn into the condenser and up to the mouthpiece. Blocking the air intake regulates the ratio of vapor and cool fresh air and resulting cloud density.

 

[justcametomind]

I voted "none of the above" as every one else until now.
This is because I've never of those 2 vapes and I'm skeptical since they so cheap. Second reason: I'm done with Flowermate or Crafty clones.
Third: not a fan of glass stock parts on portable vaporizers.

Let me ask -- do you think the Vapcap is more for someone very experienced in vaping? I am starting to wonder - it seems quite complex. I saw a few brief videos - one on how to disassemble it (seems like it would be very time consuming to clean?) and I still have yet to find a video on how to actually use it - where to put in the herb, and use it - would you advise to first start with some easier battery operated vape where you just push a button? I feel like you all are quite experienced in all of this, and as a beginner feel a bit intimidated by all of it!

Maybe check out Reddit where every new person gets a Vapcap and spams.. I mean raves about it.

You're really over thinking it. I don't know how much smoking you've done be the VapCap takes off the one hitter and dugout design. Possibly chillum may be a familiar term?

I think the VC is ideal for beginners and I personally think all beginners should start with manual rather than automatic. It gives you a more realistic and open view of vaporization. You will have potential to combust but also potential to see how variable and customizable this area is. Accidentally combusting will happen and is actually pretty good once it happens as you'll get that perspective of where your line is.

@maryjane -

I never consumed cannabis in my life until one year ago and had no idea what a vaporizer was.

I purchased the Firefly2, VapeXhale EVO, and two titanium OmniVaps.

As I am a microdoser (one gram lasts ~ 25 days) I wanted something where I could take one inhalation, put the device down, and take another inhalation later in the day. In my opinion, the OmniVap is the hands down winner and the only one that I have used in the last nine months. It is simple to use and considerably easier to clean than the Firefly2 or EVO.

I have much confidence that you will absolutely treasure any DynaVap product.

One website I viewed as a beginner was www.healer.com

It gave me a good understanding of how cannabis works and how to properly dose.

Wishing you the best in your search!

Most everyone I've turned on to the Vapcap were virgin vapers. The Vapcap is a very simple, beautifully designed vaporizer. I'm sorry that I made it sound complex. That was not my intention. I was describing how it works, which can be helpful, but the actual operation is quite simple. If you can light and smoke cigarette or joint, you can operate the Vapcap.

Cleaning a Vapcap Is fast and easy. It may be one of the only vapes that can be cleaned quickly and completely. It has very few parts and once you have taken it apart and reassembled it a few times, you'll he a pro. Only the tip and condenser need to be cleaned. I clean mine every month or two and I vape everyday.

When I was new to vaping, the choices were staggeringly and foreign, even though I had been smoking joints for 40 some years, this vaping business was new and overwhelming.

I first tried a friend's volcano. I didn't like the process of using a bag and the size was off putting to me. Then I bought a pen vape. Press the button a few times and vape away. Pen vapes are harsh, horrible, unreliable vapes that tether you to a plug in and have poor battery life. They are not enjoyable or reliable.

Then, after going through a few more vapes, I finally stumbled on the Vapcaps. They are the only vapes I use now. They are the best vapes I've used. Efficient, simple and fast, they Vapcap is hands down the best value for your money.

I wish the Vapcap was around when I first started vaping. I would have saved a lot of hard earned cash.

Here are a few videos that demonstrate its assembly and use.

As you watch these videos, you will see reference to the tip. The tip is what we call the bowl that holds your bud. You simply remove the cap, place a small amount of herb in the tip or bowl/ replace the cap and apply heat to the cap until it makes a clicking sound. Stop heating the cap at this point and then bring the mouthpiece end to your mouth and begin to toke. You can place your finger over the intake hole on the stem to regulate airflow to your own preferences.

@maryjane ,

Personally, I think that the right battery powered vaporizer is a much better choice for a beginner than a butane powered vaporizer. Specifically, the VC has been a challenge to master for some of us here at FC, even though many of us were already experienced with other types of vapes over a number of years.

And I think you are correct in questioning the difficulty of assembly and disassembly of the VC, for a beginner.

I believe a battery powered, temperature controlled vaporizer is the way to go for someone like yourself.

Simple to use and easy to clean with cool, smooth taste! That would be the FURY2! You won't regret it!

 

[MoltenTiger]

Well done FC! Great survey response..

I think the Dynavap M is a great place to start. In fact the M with a side-car matrix glass piece is an exceptionally good package for the money.

However considering the Fury 2 is equally worthy, with its battery power, digital consistency and discreet package.

I find I can't as easily use my VapCap as I can my other vapes. But the quality of the Dynavap products can not be beaten on price.

 

[maryjane]

THANK YOU SO MUCH - all of you have been SO helpful with your replies, I cannot thank you enough! I also really appreciate the videos, really made more sense to see that. Do you recommend any particular 3 flame torch lighter (shown in the video)- if so would appreciate your feedback on that. Thank you again - this information you all have provided has been extremely helpful and appreciated.

I have the quad jet lighter from Dynavap, it's pretty decent, I'd recommend just grabbing a lighter from them.

There's only a minor difference between the number of jets, the advantage to more is a wider area of heat output. With a single jet it'll take a bit longer with a bit more movement needed to heat soak the tip
