I don’t love VapCaps as much as
@Squiby (although I do like and use them often), but here’s one quote from her:
“I have a very sensitive lungs (severe chronic lifelong asthmatic) and have found that mouth pulls and degummed hemp fiber filters create a very smooth, cool, non irritating vapour.”
She shows how to make a simple little filter and then goes on to say:
“The mouth pull technique provides a cooler fresher vapor inhale. Dial down to a tight air restriction and cover the carb for most of the toke. Pull the vapor into your mouth without inhaling, like you would when puffing on a cigarette or cigar. Near the end of the pull, open or feather the carb to bring the last of the vapor into your mouth along with that pulse of fresh carb air, then open your mouth, remove the Vapcap and inhale the vapour and fresh air into your lungs. Exhale. Repeat.
Use a filter. Take short mouth pulls versus long tokes and incorporate fresh air.
This technique, for me, gets me where I want to be with no lung irritation. It is the smoothest, coolest vapor I have ever experienced in a vape.”
Personally I wouldn’t want a VapCap to be my *only* option long-term, but I wouldn’t want to be without one either, and since it’s cheap and nearly indestructible, in my opinion it’s a good place to start if you do it Squiby’s Way.
You can find more good info from her and others in this short “Best of” thread if you want to know more:

One more thing about adjusting airflow; the more expensive OmniVap has a condenser you can make longer or shorter, and it does have a Titanium tip with a bit more open airflow, but with the M you can cover and uncover the carb hole to adjust it, or you can put the o-ring inside over part or all of the carb hole to adjust it without worrying about the carb hole while you use it.
If you pick one up, since you don’t know for sure that you’ll like it yet I’d start with the M, the M with a Titanium tip for a bit better airflow and adjustable bowl size, or a NonaVong which should gone with a Ti tip and a spinning mouthpiece as well as a thicker body meant to fit into 14mm glass in case you want water filtration.
If you want to be discreet and you don’t think you can get away with a torch then the Fury 2 is probably the best option out of the things you listed, but if you can find a place to get away from people for a minute either one should work. Considering their price, you could even try both!
I have to say though, I’ve never used the Fury 2, I’ve just seen a lot of good comments on it and I know it’s smaller and more pocketable than most of the options people have posted for you.
I’d just pick up whichever you’re drawn to, see how you like it, and put it up for sale after giving it a good chance if it doesn’t work for you.
Edit: A lot of vaporizers, especially the cheaper ones, have somewhat questionable material choices. I don’t like the Fury 2’s materials so I probably won’t buy one, but silicone is pretty common and as long as it’s not right by the heater I doubt it’s a big concern.
Always make sure to clean new vaporizers though, and at least for the cheaper battery powered ones make sure to run them without using them for a while until you can see that they’re not putting out fumes that you might not want to breathe in.
With the VC I’d just clean it with some isopropyl alcohol and q-tips or pipe cleaners to make sure there’s no manufacturing residue left. It’s easy to take apart and clean so not a big deal, and you can see and handle every single part of it.
It looks amazing though! I was waiting fot ir but here there isn't a shop that sells it.
