Armored Cap makes things easier in general, should be standard, lol. Seems to click with more authority and forgives poor heating technique. Haven't tried it with difficult-to-me Halo tip yet, but it's a big help. CR

🤔 No G3, but very pleased with discounted armored cap. Long, easy power curve with that. This ought to help the titanium tip/single torch heating probs I've been having. Armor cap is an oven in and of itself, besides an oven insulator. Impressive heat retention! Looks great on the Vong, too...

@Mr.Grumpy , this info is completely appreciated! My XQ2 has been gathering dust... While I've been gathering more glass pieces and adapters for other things. Thanks. CR

🤔 I'm unsure if Vongsday is a day of the week or a moveable feast... Leaning to the latter, as it makes me hungry. Its origins are pretty hazy. CR

It is a very neat little kit, really liking the Dyna-box! Congrats. CR

In for a BID cap... 😏 Needed one (anyways), since the Vaphit quartz one cracked and I do like that tip. Also a discounted armored cap, should aid my poor single torch results. Between tips, caps, and stems, not sure how many DVs I have... Did not go for G3. Nostolgia rocks, but more DVs means...

Well, now we know what the Halo tip was for! 🤔 Sure hope to hear a report. Halo has been a different learning curve for me. With so little mass to retain heat, I'm of the opinion the BallR cap and convection work best together for the Halo tip. Stainless tips that retain heat longest for a...

Did crack my quartz cap, unsure how common that occurrence is ... unsure if overheated or sat upon, lol. CR

DV fans: just checked the site, new model out? J. P. Finley? Finned body married to Halo tip. Interesting. CR

Sweet combo. I've been running that Vaphit tip on my Vong and getting 100% results... The Halo tip was giving me heating fits - possibly the lack of mass - combined with my lack of skill, lol. CR

Congrats on the new DVs! I didn't know about the vault either, it's a great way (for a noob like me) to catch up on classic Dynagear, though I had to pass. Thought I read something in the email or site about throwing in a random M. Admit I'd really like a colored anodized body (again), hope to...

🤔 Pretty sure I found Frank Zappa's cosmic utensil. CR

🤔 So the cat is no longer allowed upstairs; there's a baby gate. She comes to the gate and howls, naturally I repeat her plaintive meows back to her. Yes, I had been medicating. Meow! "Meow!" Back and forth we go. I traded her yowl for yowl until it grew old, then I stopped and yawned. The...

I'm leaning towards shortening the WW condenser, as I'm really happy with it in the Vongwynd (!) 😂 but the one tip that chokes it is it's own original VonG tip, and that one works well (though I personally find others more esthetic). 🤔 Suppose I could run it with no condenser? (hotter). And...

I wasn't sure if creating a Franken-vap was poor etiquette, but I tend to the practical. Congrats on the Omni stem; it instantly dethroned the other Ms here. Was going to say, it's in-hand feel is the best, it's beyond pretty, but the airport is harder to find and it holds differently. Twirls a...
