Dynavap VapCap

[Squiby]

Do you prefer a battery or this device? I'm thinking about model M. What the hell are you doing when it's so fucking hot?

My initial foray into vaping was a disappointment. The need to charge, keep track of, rotate and replace batteries while organizing yet another charging cord really detracted from the vaping experience.

First I found the Vapman and it convinced me that manual vapes are where it's at. Then I discovered the sleek heavy hitting Lotus. But it was when I stumbled upon the Vapcap that knew I had come home. For me, it's the perfect vape. Easy to use, beautiful, simple.

The Vapcap is super efficient with your weed. It's tiny, easy to carry and has very few parts. It is a brilliantly engineered device. It's really quite magic.

The modular build and the stunning bodies, stems and mouthpieces available from both Dynavap and aftermarket suppliers like @phattpiggie and @Winegums makes the Vapcap a virtual LEGO for Stoners. You can customize your Vapcap to every mood and occasion. The Vapcap is without a doubt the most aesthetically pleasing vaporizer on the market today.

The vapcap can be heated by just about any heat source, be it the preferred jet lighter with one or several jets, a candle, campfire stick, lantern etc. Only the heated end gets hot, like a cigarette. No need for electrical outlets, this vape will be working when the lights go out and all other vapes fail. This is the perfect off grid doomsday device.

The process is simple and easy; remove the cap, load your herb, replace the cap and heat it while twirling for even heat coverage until the cap makes a clicking noise. Stop heating at this point and toke. By the time you have finished taking a nice flavorful toke, the cap will have cooled down to heating temps with a cool down click. Rinse and repeat heating for a few more cycles.

The cap can be touched within maybe 10 seconds or less after toking by blowing on it or placing it on a heatsink such as a magnet, a stone or a piece of metal.

The rest of the Vapcap remains cool.

The entry level, all stainless steel M model goes for a mere $50. The more sophisticated Ti Tipped Vapcaps such as the Ti Woody or Ti NonaVongs start around $80 and the top of the line, indestructible, adjustable air flow, all titanium Omnivap goes for $160.

Inexpensive and reliable, the Vapcap has ruined me for any other vape. Great for getting blitzed or for microdosing. It is a fantastic vape and everyone should have at least one.

Who uses both? Do you prefer a battery or this device?
I have a Boundless CFC and the clouds are weak. How is this piece?

Medium to fine grind and packing the chamber full will always get you the biggest clouds which easily rivals my e-portables. Prep and use the VC correctly and I promise you won't be disappointed w/ cloud production (just look at the monster clouds in Sneaky Pete's vapcap review video).
I use both and prefer the different style of portables for different purposes and moods. I didn't get a VC to replace everything else I use, but rather to fill a microdosing need and have an off-grid option, and prolong the life of my beloved e-portables (which I still use) by not having to use them as much.

But I can't help wondering if I'll feel sheepish torching and twirling something in public vs taking a hit off of a battery powered vape

It really depends more on the type of crowd and region you're in where you'll be using it in public. Golden Gate Park? Go ahead, no one cares about your cute little torch powered vape, so partake all you want. But I'm sure there are plenty of other public situations, like the zoo or something, where using the VC in plain sight might be a bigger deal. For those situations I'd rather have a Pax 3, Davinci IQ, Alfa, oil pen, or one of the countless other tiny portables out there that you don't need a ligher for.

Yeah I recently moved to SoCal from a Prohibition State and am still a bit bashful about consuming in public. But the more I think about it... the more I think, who gives a shit? No one is going to say anything. And if I get a dirty look I'll just smile back. I vape nicotine as well and am always respectful about it (only in smoking sections or in discrete locales).

I more or less look like an honor roll student anyway (well... maybe a honor roll grad student). Not that there's anything wrong with looking like a hippy. I am one deep in my heart. But I learned living in the former Confederacy that looking like an upstanding citizen is the best defense. That's why I never got that VW Bus.

Has anyone travelled with the M in hand luggage ? Not sure if it will pose a problem with security ??

Thanks

I flew with my Ti Woody in my carry-on luggage the last time I went on vacation. Had no problems with security. I made sure it was clean, obviously. And DON'T try to fly with any torch lighters. That's just asking for trouble. Buy a lighter at your destination.

Oh yeah, I got my NonaVonG XLS today. Loving it so far! More on that later...

"It's bigger on the inside!" or "the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver." Sorry for the geek speak.

What a great Whoesque analogy! Every thing to make River Song sing for ever ? "Goodbye, Sweetie..."

The "M" steel tip has no scoring to hold screens in it so the CCD rests on the lip at the bottom. There are 2 scores inside the Ti tip, so there are actually 3 CCD positions inside the tip, so 3 different possible bowl sizes. This also makes it much easier to put some filter materiel (mostly degummed hemp fiber) in the bowl between CCDs fixed in place. I haven't tried this yet, but it is on the list... You could also do this in the "M", but with no scoring it is harder to keep the second CCD in place.

I think the maximum bowl size, just one CCD on the lip at the bottom, are nearly identical between the 2 tips if not slightly bigger in the "M".

The above image is from my M tip. Apologies for the quality (phone image crop), but hopefully you can see there appears to be a groove just above where the CCD is resting in the chamber. Is this where the CCD "should" be in the M? Or does the M, as you seemed to have mentioned above, truly have no grooves for the CCD, instead relying only on a friction fit?

I received my Ti Nonavong XLS over the weekend and I've had a chance to put it through its paces. I have one of the first production Ti-Woodies (which I think has the v2 Ti tip) and tbh I haven't followed this thread too closely because it's too epic and we really need a "best of" thread.....

I've got to say that the v4 tip is a tremendous upgrade over the v2. The smaller cap heats and cools a lot faster so it's now more of a one-hitter (which is different but I'm getting used to it) and the taste is much much better!!!

I was never impressed with the taste from the original Vapcap - it always tasted charred, even on the first hit. But the new tip has a much more typical taste 'trajectory' (first heating cycle is tasty and then taste gradually degrades as the material gets spent) so I find it to be much more enjoyable overall.

How do you guys find using the VapCap's in public?

even though it's legal in my state, it's still illegal to smoke/vape in public. I see people vaping tobacco all the time in public, so I figure an electric vape won't attract unwanted attention - but I can't really say that about any vape that involves a torch.

I've made the same comparison of mine, and I agree

just saw this pop up in my Youtube feed...

 

[nomadicsoul34]

God dam the M is a different level than the OG ...much bigger clouds!
Anyone else get a hot lip from the M though ? and was there any common consensus on the silocone rings ? Are they likely to give off any nasties? Sorry i dont have time this week to go through all the previous messages!

Great ... you had to get me choked up with SciFi

Got my M today. Hemp fiber must have gone way up in price because this time they sent me a third of what they sent last time. I think I will go back to organic cotton.
Kind of surprised the M tip is so floppy and flexes on pressure. I wish it was anchored in there a little deeper

that was the first thing i had trouble with, when I had my first O ring fail, so I moved the 2 remaining O rings down a rung, so there is one at the tip, and one in the middle, but none at the top (near the fins) and it lets the cap push in a little further into the body, with less movement. After I got my replacement O rings, I discovered I preferred it with just the 2 holding it in, and haven't had any problems with it popping out.

your posts make me drool. then i get annoyed that i have to wait another week or 2 before i can fire up my omni, which forces me to vape more weed.

it's a vicious cycle.

Then, the addition of a hemp filter sandwich brought it up another notch. The filter prevents tiny particulates into the vapor path and into my lungs. Super smooth non-irritating vapor. No harshness. No coughing.

Firstly, thank you for all the helpful posts, I love reading your posts! I do have a question about the hemp fiber sandwich.... is it more difficult to remove the screens since there would be two now? It wasn't quite as easy for me as it was for George in his video showing how to adjust the bowl/remove the screen in an Omni. I think you said it needs changing about once a month or so, so it's not a deal breaker, but geez I had some trouble removing that screen!

I have nothing that will help me get inside that tip, so your photo is about the best view I have had. It looks to me in your pic and in life more like a ridge to put the CCD behind to keep it in rather than the scoring or groves in the Ti tip that the CCD seats in. I think in the M the CCD is meant to rest on the lip and be secured by the ridge as it appears to be in that pic.
I haven't taken that CCD out yet so I don't know what the tip looks like without one or if there is any scoring.
A photo like yours with the CCD removed would be telling.

I would say that you need to apply a bit more pressure with two screens in there, but I wouldn't say that a screen sandwich is more difficult to remove necessarily. It's all in the technique.

When you want to remove the CCD/filter sandwich, remove the cap and place the tip chamber side down on a paper towel or napkin. Take a chopstick or your condenser or something similar and push it down into the neck of the tip and the two screens and filter will pop right out onto the towel. Lift the tip and there they are.

Does anyone know offhand is a TI Woody Double Crown without a mouthpiece can be converted to accept a mouthpiece with the addition of an XL Condenser? It's my first VapCap and I'm really enjoying it. Much easier to get lots of surprisingly smooth vapor/flavor than I thought. I just think it would look better with a mouthpiece.

Yes, you can. Swapping out the standard condenser of your Ti Woody for an XL condenser with a mouthpiece will create a Ti Woody XLS model.

It's a matter of preference, but I really like the spinning wood mps on mine.

I'm interested in pure flavor and usually like to toke on lower heat settings, I'm not a big cloud guy. Which Vapcap is best for me?

 

[CalyxSmokr]

that was the first thing i had trouble with, when I had my first O ring fail, so I moved the 2 remaining O rings down a rung, so there is one at the tip, and one in the middle, but none at the top (near the fins) and it lets the cap push in a little further into the body, with less movement. After I got my replacement O rings, I discovered I preferred it with just the 2 holding it in, and haven't had any problems with it popping out.

So I remove one of the 2 o-rings (or is it 3?) on the tip (the one closest to the fins) - and leave the middle and the mouthpiece o-rings where they are?

that's what I ended up with, just be very gentle with the O rings, they are very thin and small, easy to break.

I can tell you between the glass and the M . .the glass tastes better. Neither one are super ideal for low temperature vaping, imo. Flavor is also, imo, not a strong point of either the glass or the M . .I imagine the others to be the same but haven't personally tried them.

My main vapes are a sticky brick and my 2 vapcaps. For low temp vaping and flavor the sticky brick kills the vapcap . . but I use the vapcaps way more because they're just so convenient and awesome.

Neither of my vapcaps is a "cloud machine" either .. I can get a big cloud but it takes effort and technique. By default the cloud is rather diminutive.

I have a SB junior and no way is the flavor better than my vapcap. The brick tastes woody, the VC doesnt. I taste only the herbs with my Ti Woody (the irony?).
The Brick adds enough wood to the flavor profile to definitely not be my go-to vape for tasting a strain. I can get equally big clouds with both. I will say that the Brick produces smoother vapor than the VC, or thats my theory on why I almost never cough with the Brick but do cough with the VC.
