That's good to hear. Mine should hopefully be here by the end of the year.late contender could be the OWW Micro v4, since I've been using it a ton since I got it a few months ago.
Been reaching for the Wunderlampe and Z8 an awful lot. One's a couple decades old and the other a couple weeks, both have wonderful and unique highs. The Lampe's high is a lovely, comfortable, soaring high; rising gently and floating like a weather balloon is how a friend describes it. The Z8 is something else, again very wonderful. My initial impressions are of a very powerful convection head high, but with nice body effects; very full but not at all heavy.I'm sure I've used Dynavaps (and Vapmans) most, but I started off the year with the Hot Rod as my new vape and really used it a lot. Took it down when I set up my B0, then added a Couch Log, an Element Table vape, then a Vapman station, now a Z8 (and a few others). Finally set the Hot Rod back up and have been using that a lot again. All of those are top-notch and get plenty of use, but the Hot Rod is sooo easy.
Edit: Since I got the station the Vapman has become a solid daily driver. It's currently leading the reach test, I guess!
Try the knotty topper or micro from OWW. I have the same relationship with the cricket: it was my first butane convection vape and I love it, but also still combust in it. The micro and knotty topper both have everything I love about the cricket but I’ve had far fewer issues combusting. I’ve combusted once or twice in the micro, but have to push it harder than the cricket. I just picked up the knotty topper and it may be surpassing the cricket in my mind. So far I’ve been able to push it as hard as I can (even using triple torch) without combusting. I also like the glass bowl as it gives you more visual feedback, too.I've bought and sold a lot over the last year trying different things out. Right now the noisy cricket and freight train are my two top used. I love the noisy cricket but as soon as I think I mastered it I ride the line too close and combust, but for some reason I love it and will keep using it despite myself.
I have a v3 micro. I've never combusted in that I just don't use it to often. I'm not sure what it is about the noisy cricket but I just love itTry the knotty topper or micro from OWW.
