All this Vong talk and finally some sun outside has motivated to snap a couple pics of my recently acquired blonde and brunette cocobolo Vong from the classifieds here on fc

This has been my dream dynavap since the day it came out but I’ve been so impressed with my simple M’s that I haven’t “needed” to acquire any others… till this beauty came along…







Gorgeous!

Actually enjoying the Dynaverse, it's a great backup to Lobo, and the routine is a Zen-like practice. Ti lasts forever so I'll have to will it to my niece, lol.

I got a dyna stem from him, so beautiful and reasonably priced I ordered a couple more!

So my Vong came today, USPS did a fine job this time. Does it seem normal for the tip to look so rough and not shiny, and have those marks in it? I feel like the Vong tip is usually looking nicer in pics that I see. The white hazeyness on the inside made me think of titanium oxidation, but it mostly wiped off during cleaning, so maybe that was just metal dust or something. I don't care too much about the aesthetics, but it wasn't sold as a factory second, and looking different from pictures I've seen is a little concerning.

Does anyone else have a Vong tip that looks like that? Here's Dynavap's picture from their website:

Even after extended neglect and abuse (repeated overheating/combusion) my Vong tip looks nothing like the one you showed upthread, it looks very much like this DV pic. Other than the overheating and extended durations of used-while-filthy it's only ever been dunked in Iso and H2O - yours has the appearance of some kind of chemical damage (note - Joe Layman here with NO knowledge of metallurgy making a rando observation). Perhaps that was part of some batch that had an oops in the final production stages that made the finish unsightly but not unsafe? Just spitballin' here . . .

OK interesting, thanks. I'll ask Dynavap about it.

My vong and omni tips I purchased in 2024 both arrived pretty matte on the outside like yours, but the bowl and cuts above the bowl were polished and shiny like I’d expect. Looks like poor QC or your tip is part of a bad batch or got missed in a final polish pass

Some sweet devices there! Can't wait for dynavap's next color foray. According to USPS tracking, Vongsday is locally postponed... The package decided to camp in the post office another day.

I've gotten my neighbor's mail twice, heard bad things about our carrier (from another mail carrier!) and seen him pitch lithium batteries across the porch. 🤔 Probably not related.

The 420 Futo case finally arrived from Canada, so I'm not crying. Tigerwood (goncalo alves) with nice grain...

Maybe it'll come on Wednesday. Wodensday sounds like it would also evolve into Vongsday, don't it? Not that I wish for you to wait another day!

All I know is that Vongsday sounds like something the harp twins would do a good job recording. 🤔 Heavy metal twin sisters that do an interesting rendition of Celtic and viking stuff.

🤔 Fell in love 4x watching the piper ladies (poor memory), and I'm pretty sure I know the redhead 's clone, they need to make more of those... 80s change up "Til Vongsday, Vapor Carries."
