Dynavap VapCap

[Cmdr. Redeye]

It's most definitely Vongsday today. Stays cool, easy center section spin for smooth heating. Lots to like, and many thanks the sale-poster.

Seems to be a bear to disassemble / thinking about padded pliers, as my right hand's not great.
Did read "hold top, pull and turn bottom," but nothing moved yet...

Nice, the tip looks normal I hope? Yeah mine takes a good bit of force to take apart also.

I think what you might be thinking of is Cannon Plug Pliers , they make smaller ones too. You can just use something like electrical tape to wrap the surface and then just don't use an excessive amount of force w ordinary curved jaw pliers.

It appears to be totally normal, no hazing or marks. Ah, it's been used. Now. I'll shoot and get a few pix up. The packaging was a surprise; just the wood case. It does NOT fit in either Futo stash; just a tad bit tight. Going to (slightly) drill out a Levated stash box. Still have to learn technique, every one of these things and their combinations are different. Does have great feel. Already considering a mouthpiece, apparently doable? Preferring slightly longer. My fingers are fumbly.

Oh. Had trouble getting it working. Got it working big time. Yes.

Hopefully this will shed some light ... New plain Ti Vong, with applewood and tigerwood Futo cases. Also a B-tip, which might be helpful for me.

Ti tip looks ok, I think. I see now the tip is slightly crooked, didn't jam it in straight. Heat curve is more challenging with the Ti tips, IMO.

Hmmm, the tip looks similar to mine actually IMO. I see the same rough unfinished look with marks in the sidewall grooves. Maybe they just did some batches like that. Unfortunately Dynavap told me to go ask the place I bought it from and have not responded to my request for comment on my pictures. No response from Element Vape yet either.

Finally field-stripped Vong (I) used a little wax in reassembly. There's a Dynavap video, too. I immediately added a condenser and mouthpiece from an M, which gives great feel and balance... No, the SS doesn't match but I've got the point five SS tip on the front, so it balances. Planet 13 had $13 jars, so it was a decent day. Especially dinner, Hunger's good.

Close to a decade since I bought my first few OG vapcaps (long since dropped and shattered) I have my new “B” vape and WPA in my hands! So very excited!

Cheers, Dynavapers!

Whoooooooaaaa o_o It looks like dusk viewed across a still lake.

Are the newer ti tips like halo and helix better than original 5 fin ti? What should be my first entry into the world of titanium?

The Helix offers a bit more airflow and therefore a slightly better flavor. I find the Helix much nicer visually than the 5fin. But the 5fin is still very, very nice, of course. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the Halo.

The Halo is kind of like an updated 5-fin, I think. It is a little more forgiving and it transfers less heat to the stem. I think both are upgrades, tbh, though the Helix is more special because of the difference in airflow whereas the Halo is more standard, but improved.

I don't consider the difference between the 5fin and Helix to be huge, but it's noticeable. In my opinion, it depends more on the cap. I highly recommend the Helix with the low-temp cap! However, if you can get the 5fin at a significantly reduced price, I would always go for that.

I like the Helix with the perforated cap, it's an entirely different DV experience. Caveat: it works best with a torch. The combo needs a good heat-soak and it'll produce clouds of vapor.

The Dynavap is best if you replace it with a Ball Vape shortly before vaping

Wait, is this vaporents?

So put the Ballr cap on the dynavap, got you I dunno man, the ball vape I have seems to be better for the big clouds and a dialed in OHE but flavor is lacking the terps break down almost instantly there is no savoring them with a big OHE. Feathering the induction heater on and off when the h2 stem just barely starts showing visible vapor in the glass is a whole different experience compared to milking a bong with the hottest vapor edging combustion.

use a torch. ; )

Seriously, I get nice full hits with a torch, and I get high as fuck. But it is nice to use them with other vapes, especially a ball vape or other powerful convection vape, for a big round high.

Happy Vongsday, by the way!

Back at you. I did order another stash in walnut for Vong XL, didn't trust myself to drill an existing one larger. I'll admit something odd: that half size "B" tip seems to have the same effect as the regular size tenth gram tips. AVB coming out better, never combusted it yet. In that case I'm really not using much of the stuff, ironic as it's the cheapest med I'm on.

Vong's handling characteristics are great, good ergos and I'm less likely to drop it.

Dynaverse indeed. I've got a tackle box full of its parts!

I have to fly internationally and want to take a dynavap along. I see it as the easiest way to take a vape through the TSA/customs. I plan on cleaning it thoroughly in iso and switching out the o rings, but wanted to ask about the cap. I think it has been suggested to not soak the cap in iso for long periods of time? Looking for the best way to clean a cap so there isn't any residue to be detected. Thanks

My best advice is just to not take it man. Maybe someone else can chime in on how to clean the cap.

I'm with @I'm Ron Burgundy? . I wouldn't fly with it.
And if I were to consider it, then it would only be with a brand-new never-used dynavap vape. And then I would dissasemble it and put the different pieces in different places in my luggage and on me.

That being said, it's still a lot of risk even with a brand new clean device.

It all depends on the country you live in. Everything is tough in my country and I was like that:

1) I would soak all the metal parts in a high-quality non-stick product (not for titanium dynavap!! only for SS)
2) Wipe off the loose dirt mechanically
3) I would wash everything with boiling water and boil it in boiling water.
4) Soak it in alcohol
5) I would rinse everything with boiling water again and boil it in boiling water.
6) I would only take new rubber bands and throw them away on the way back / Or soak them in alcohol, wipe them mechanically and rinse with boiling water
7) I would put it in different parts of the luggage .

And there will be nothing wrong with the cap, it can be washed with a non-stick agent / alcohol / boiled
