@stark1 yep you got it:rofl:

@Ramahs
'It was on their table at the FAM show last weekend and is a collaboration with Lucid Customs'

I was asked to be a member of the VCDC when the VC was in its infancy and nothing came of it.
Last year it was spoken about again and I received an email which included an NDA.

There have been a couple of occasions when DV NDA's have been ignored and there will more than likely be more.

I've been privvy to a lot of stuff that's going on behind the scenes be it DV or other manufacturers.
Out of respect I've kept my mouth firmly shut.

A customer recently put an idea to me which treads on toes and I've told them so.
If I'm going to follow this up it will be with the blessing of the person who's similar idea I've seen up close and personal.

I recently posted a video of a new device but as its my idea I'm fully entitled to.
A handful of these devices will be going out to people for some more feedback but they'll only be going out to the folks I trust implicitly.

Again apologies to everyone but goings on like this really put my back up.
It's probably my age:myday:

Good to see you letting off some steam, PP! :tup::clap: Must be the heat.

Put your back up? That’s a new one on me. Joust like a kitty.

Back up to my improv glass stem wannabe-s.

What happened? I didn't see anybody talking about the IH till Dynavap put it in their video.

On another note, I see that the HV stem must be a different length than previous stems...because they made a giveaway announcement in the video for anyone who could guess how long the HV stem is.

So, I guess that would mean that any current condensers will probably not work with the HV stem.
That's unfortunate.

They are the same length as the old VonGs according to the website.

On the matter of "pissing on someones' fireworks"...
If you must, safety concerns suggest that you do so BEFORE said fireworks are lit!

- thanks Dan, for adding such a meaningful addition to the conversation...
- no problem; I'm here to help y'all get past these little bumps in the road!

I thought, "pissing on someones' fireworks" was such a cool phrase and image....thanks for that, PP!

:mmmm: I wanna self heating VapCap (portable integrated VapCap/Induction Heater unit).

Press the VapCap down with your thumb on your EDC belt, the Red light turns Yellow while
Heating. When it comes up to temp, it will turn Green. :leaf:

Take a toke. Smile. :smug: Click

Well, I said the Hydravong was too expensive and I stand by that. However, I ordered just the stem, since it was $35 with shipping with this sale. My current setup is Ti mouthpiece, 2019 M body, XL condenser and Ti spinning mouthpiece. I’ll just swap the stems and make the Hydravong my main use device and keep the M body as a backup.

I'd like to hear from real users (no YouTuber's who get paid to exagerate) if it's really a good noticable difference in use from the spinning action and new airport design, over the previous gen NonaVongs

Perhaps I have become (more) jaded by the custom stems created by the craftspeople here. To me, the Hydravong looks like a petrified turd with a hole in it. I accept that I am biased by knurled Ti, and spiral cut organic beauty. I hope that the performance improvements are recognized by experienced Vapcappers!

Why are these induction heaters getting so expensive??? They use the same cheap Chinese parts, and I understand people need to make a profit, but 150.00 seriously? :doh:
"Get a dynavap M, its the best cheapest vape option there is", they say!

Followed by... you'll need a quality torch that'll probably give you issues if you dont also buy high quality expensive butane. Then youll need a titanium tip to replace your SS. Now you definitely need a nice dynastash and induction heater! Oh, and have you seen all these nice stems available? How about stepping up to the Omni condenser now that you're hooked?!?!

Hundreds of dollars later you're almost satisfied!

Time is money. The cost of parts is the least of it when you’re not manufacturing at scale. This is why I got the $50 Chinese plug in IH until Dynavap released their own, which should be cheaper than the handmade ones for sale.

I just see these prices slowly creeping up, 150.00 is the highest I seen yet and that little mod powered one called the beast also way over priced. I understand time is money, but I still think it's too much money for what it is, plus alot more would probably be sold if the price was lower.

I just bought the parts from @Pipes , which cost something in the realm of $40 before shipping for one that I plug-in, and just built that into my own box.

Value/Worth can be a very subjective thing. It's different for everyone.
