Dynavap VapCap

[RogueGuy]

The more flames, the more heat = the faster the heat up + bigger chance of combusting.
The less flames (heat) = more flavor + more control + more patience (needed).

Well explained @Jill NYC. I have taken to using the smallest flame possible and since I'm stuck at home a lot, I'm not worried how long it takes to heat.

@junny89 if you are till looking for a tool for the stash, i have these.

There’s probably very little moisture in vape honey/resin. Can’t really grow mold or mildew without moisture.

And the heat from the tip should kill most anything that might come from the load itself, including mold. So blowing into the VC to dump the load is the only likely way to add bacteria to the stem, and drawing heat from the load should kill anything you got from blowing. Or at least it seems to me with no evidence.

And that is pretty much why I don't want to blow in to my VapCap & add moisture.

But I feel if that was the case, mildew/mould on herb would not be of such a great concern to people.

Anyway, enough of this derail! . . . . I'm currently laid up with back troubles but thankfully my vapes, including a few VapCaps & a torch (+ some fairly easy drinking whisky) are well within reach. And to top it all off I've got a new cap & a spinning Ti mouthpiece on the way - so I can keep on connecting ala lego Ahh the little things.

Y'know, I kinda thought my VC trip was well & truly over a while back, but it's really nice to be back carrying the torch again

Keep at it you lot!

it's not sticky anyway.

Using tools to scratch the abv out of the chamber will result in dirtier CCDs.

Much of the stuff I grow is pretty sticky...in fact I can not get the abv out totally without physical contact from either my Ti or plastic brushes.

But, I clean my tips and bodies out fairly often anyway. It is pretty easy and fast to do so.

I am also going CCD-less on all my vapcaps now. Only using a cut down SS screen by itself in a slight bowl shape. Tons more air flow.....much more even and fuller extraction.

Huh. Wouldn't sticky abv mean resin still being in it = a few hits left?

Ok, can't hold it in. Not trying to pick a fight. Just ranting...

Anyone concerned about introducing moisture or mildew or whatever the f&$k would be the problem with "blowing your load" (aka covering airport and gently ejecting the AVB with air from deep inside your wet, icky-sticky, phlegm-ridden, mold factory known known as "you")

Jesus, man! What are blowing in to eject your AVB - a loogie? Scared of mold? WTF? Do you plan
on blowing the deepest, heaviest breath ever to puff out.07grams of light, toasted flakes of dry plant matter? Are you going to immediately put that hot, wet device into a sealed Ziploc (reg trademark shoutout) and store that bag under your bed for a month?

Damn man, there's enough REAL shit to worry and someone thinks anywhere in vast scapes of their delusions I'm going to ever give more than 1/10 of 1 crap about.... Whatever the hell someone was talking about. Moisture? Mold? Seriously? I'm on lockdown from plague 3.0 and someone legitimately is concerned about health risks of puffing out AVB? Talk about a first world thing of which to manufacture concern. Puff out some AVB, fire up, move on. Relax. It's weed. Not the devil.

Ha, nice caveat, dude.

Aaaanyway, DynaVap anyone?

Wow! Looks like VapeWellness have sold out of their stock of DynaTec Apollo 2 induction heaters in less than 48hrs.

Anyone here snag one?

 

[TommyDee]

@notams

No surprise on the stock depletion. Wasn't me - no surprise there either

 

[LabPong]

The sticky is usually on the walls (just above screen edge) or screen...which the abv is stuck too..lol

So yeah, some strains can be *very* sticky and can cover the chamber itself in resin. For some reason that never really occurs to me with my DVs, but I see it a lot with my Tinymight, where blowing through the stem is a hit or miss kinda thing with some strains.

Haha, I'm so totally in your boat, man – we all are here because we are trying to act mindful with our health, but sometimes things get a tiny bit out of control. :-)

Relax. It's weed. Not the devil.

...and sometimes I wonder if that's some kind of sublimation.

 

[VegNVape]

Wow! I really did not realise me saying that I don't like to blow into my vapes or VC stems to clear them of avb would prevoke such a disrespectful response from some members.

As I said from the outset, what ever anyone wants to do is good with me, and I feel there's no need to make fun of me or belittle me when I share the way I like to do things.

Why should it be so so difficult to have a normal, convivial conversation?

 

[Siebter]

Well. Remember that it was you who introduced the idea of something being wrong with blowing into the stem for it could cause some mold or whatever to spread inside the device – it's no surprise that this provoked some strong reactions, is it? :-)

Also I don't see anyone being disrespectful against you.

 

[TommyDee]

I'm sorry, I thought it a very interesting busting loose moment from @notams that it made me laugh. And that is what this forum is about. This is the VapCap thread and each day we fill a page with what is most near nonsense until we upset a mod. And the vague query has sparked enough interest to understand this possible phenomenon. So no, I like the levity because people should be able to speak their minds and panties shouldn't get in a bunch over it. So I appreaciate all the input into todays perfectly on-topic discussion of blowing or sucking. Which is really better?

No offense....but is it more wrong for you to discuss health/safety issues inside this thread.......

But....I could say you are wrong too correct? It's all about perspective yes?

That all works good on paper ....on your desk so to speak.....but wait till a mod gives you their opinion......wait for it......wait for it....

 

[TommyDee]

Now you got it. "Will page 2011 be replace with 2012... stay tuned"

Okay, we'll start a gross thread on tube-funk.

 

[stark1]

NO-ooo!

 

[TommyDee]

Maybe not.
So where do I ask about whether or not vape honey would support a culture if sufficient moisture was present? ...now that the subject has been broached in the context of the VC of course. Blowing out that 'spitball' onto the porch and watching it splat has always been the finale of another well vaped VapCap session. Now I'm in a quandary.

Is there really some history here @VegNVape ? I know spiders have been known to rest or lay eggs in gentlemen's smoking pipes before if they lay dormant. I've also seen some funk in other 'devices' when stored for a bit, non-vape related.

 

[BabyFacedFinster]

Huh. I wonder why you guys are so focused on debowlers / brushes to empty the chamber. Because I never use tools for that unless I packed much too tight. I just blow the abv out after the session, it mostly leaves the chamber as a nice little puck, which makes the chamber stay clean much longer. If you're afraid to blow it into an ashtray or the like (flying particles), you can easily aim in the palm of your hand too, it's not sticky anyway.

I do the same. It's not a lot of blowing . A quick, brief toot and the load comes right out. I don't need to clean the chamber very much. After a while I'll pop the @DDave screen, torch it and put it back in. If I do feel like scrubbing the chamber out, I find the little brush that came with my Fury 2 works perfectly. It looks like a miniature version of the straw brush posted earlier.

Now for where I unload my load. I made my own little abv jar by drilling a hole slightly larger than the vapcap tip through a mason jar lid. I lined the sharp edges with electrical tape and screwed it onto a small jelly jar. I just aim the tip into the hole and puff .

Every now and then a little abv blows out of the jar. At some point when I'm not so lazy, I'm gonna drill a second hole in the lid to allow air to escape when you puff into it. I'm imagining covering the second hole with a cheapo bong screen and securing the edges to the lid with electrical tape. I believe I've seen commercial versions of something similar.

I'm not a scientist but I play one in my mind.
I'd bet Fie Bux that moist resin will support some simple form of life, mildew, trilobites, whatever.
Maybe someone could start a microbiology sub forum? :-)

 

[TommyDee]

What's next on the agenda for discussion of the DynaVap VapCap @GtrBob.

And I don't know I'd want to loose $5 to ya either.

Hey. I resent that.

Ok, enough with this talk about blowing into stems being dangerous. If someone wants to make a thread on the topic, go for it, but we're not going to allow that discussion to derail this thread further.

Thank you.

I respectfully request to open said thread.

The first Dynavap video I ever watched 5 years ago had George saying to quickly blow the herb out of the chamber with your mouth on the mouthpiece when the session is finished.
Sometimes there's a very blurry line between talking about a VapCap topic and having a scientific debate...which can be about a VapCap...whuddayado?
