I've been rolling through my Ms in order and I gotta say, they start off great and get better and better. The last few have been outstanding. If I had to choose I'd have a tough time, but the M7 is fantastic.

Yeah, '18, '19, '20, '21, M+, M7. I bet you'll like the '21. It's a little different because it's a little less naturally aggressive than some but it's more flexible than most. It's been my favorite until the M7 called that into question. The M+ is really really great as well, just more like the old ones--it's aggressive, but more flexible and forgiving than the '18. The M7 is sort of powerful like the M+, flexible like the M21, but extends the hits longer with less heat and harshness than you might get forcing an older one to similar results.
Many thanks! With the 420 sale, I ordered an XL condenser/mouthpiece for the 2021- said to fit all Ms and I like the length on the one M7XL. It should make them brothers, if not twins.Yeah, '18, '19, '20, '21, M+, M7. I bet you'll like the '21.

Flavor can be really good for a couple heatings--glad you're enjoying it so far.
Nice! A little cooler, a little easier to handle, and adjustable!
That'll be pretty different but also fun. The Halo's really nice, it's like an updated standard Ti tip: heats and cools quickly, great flavor. Ballr can be a little tricky but this video by @hotmeals really helped me:
Sure--hope you have a good time with them!
It looks like it's just about 6cm. The stem is 62mm, and the condenser is just shy of that.Can anyone please tell me the length of an M condenser aka standard length condenser?
I need to trim down an XL one to complete a dynavap for a gift
Thank you.
That brand new shiny cap made me blink! Has great in-hand feel, which is what these things are all about. Rolling it, fish scales and triangular flats... Totally different feel. Did put the extended stem/condenser from the M7XL and it looks great. Also, I was used to that length, so it feels short without it. Will get some web photo hosting shortly.
2021 M in house and looking great!

Note on BallR Cap Compatibility
The new BallR Cap from DynaVap brings true convection vapor to the world of click vaporizers – and it does so with impressive potential. However, it doesn’t work equally well with every DynaVap tip.
The BallR Cap works particularly well with the new UniDyn Tip – as it is smoothly milled and has no side air slits. This allows the convection airflow to pass directly through the herbs, ensuring even extraction.
It’s a different story with older tips (such as the Standard Titanium Tip or the Helix Tip): these have cooling fins with side air inlets. As a result, additional air is drawn in during inhalation – significantly limiting the BallR Cap’s efficiency. The outcome: the top part of the herbs gets roasted, while the bottom remains barely vaporized.
We are already in contact with DynaVap and are sharing feedback from our tests and from our customers. The goal is to find a solution together – whether through new tips, adapters, or other optimizations.
Our current recommendation: Use the BallR Cap ideally with the UniDyn – or, if using older tips, try experimenting with different draw techniques (slow draws, positioning the cap higher, etc.).
Why doesn’t the BallR Cap work properly with my tip?
The BallR Cap works best with the new UniDyn Tip, as it doesn’t have side air slits. With older tips (e.g., Helix or Standard), extra air enters the chamber through the cooling fins, disrupting the convection flow. As a result, only the top part of the herbs gets evenly heated – while the rest often remains under-extracted.
Update: DynaVap on the BallR Cap & Older Tips
We reached out to DynaVap directly – and George replied!
For using the BallR Cap with older tips (e.g., Helix or Titanium Tip), DynaVap recommends the following technique:
I haven't tried mine with my Helix yet because I've been assuming that it'll perform worse than others, but I've also been curious and thinking there's a good chance it will be fine. It works very well on the Halo for me, I can see why they're bundling it with that tip. If I remember to I'll try the BallR out on the Helix tomorrow.
It doesn't have direct, easy to travel channels like the Helix, 5 fin Ti, or 2019 M. Every tip lets air in under the cap though, otherwise they would not function with a standard cap. As long as the BallR cap's airflow is less resistive than the tip's, I think there should be enough air coming through the BallR and little enough through the tip that it should work fine. Still haven't tested though, looking forward to it.
Think I like the 2021 M/XL better. Learning curve to the heat, this one isn't like the other. Definitely different.
I can't be the only one to do that ...It hold heat perhaps a bit longer than M7? Slower to heat but holds it longer? Can't yet say. I do like the 2021 M/XL mouthpiece combo.
I've been doing the same thing as I did with the Unidyn in this video with all my tips, and adjusting how much I'm heating the bowl section for different tips. The Helix seems to like about the same amount of preheat as the Unidyn, maybe a tiny bit more. I think you could try throwing even a little bit more heat into the bowl section to get the clouds on the first hit, but I haven't experimented too much with that yet. You might be able to skip the bowl preheat entirely if you get enough heat into the ball section. The technique in the video is only one that is working well for me so far in my early days of ownership, and I'm sure there are other ways to get good results out of it.
