Yes, a Dynavap condenser works but I don't think that it alone will do much about the heat, best to add an intercooler. And there is still the problem of removing it from the one open end.
I found a silicon hose small enough for the XL 4-bore condenser to have a seal by cutting it putting on the condenser and in to the Ceramo ,testing commences after coffee.
The problem with this is that the single bore ceramic tube in the regular Convector is very comfortable to use natively. I think less people would have requested a single bore tube for the Convector XL if they had known it would be this hot. I probably would not have ordered the Ceramo or the Super Capacitor if I had known they would be as hot as they are natively without extra accessories. I definitely wouldn't have ordered them if I had known the caps wouldn't grip the stem well enough to stay on.
so it's 100% user error
just shave a second off your heating time from cold and re-heats until you find a comfortable place.. draw slow at first and either ramp up the draw or just hard stop the draw for a second or two if it's too hot, then go back in slow. If still too hot shave another second off each heat up cycle next bowl
I was expecting to get that though, considering the Convector XL is capable of that and there was no mention of the stock Ceramo being so significantly hotter. Still, the main reason I haven't really been using it is because I can't get the cap to stay on. Even spinning while torching can work it loose for me.
I used the tool to tighten just 2 "fins" that were opposite each other to the point were it was difficult to put on. After easing it on gently it's pretty secure. It's good they included this tool but should this be an issue?
I tried only adjusting a few at first, but that didn't do it, so I've tightened them all and it still feels sketchy to me. I think a big part of this problem is the metal on polished ceramic friction fit. Unpolished metal on metal will grip better, and I assume would work well enough with greater unit to unit variation. It's probably also easier and less costly to manufacture metal parts with tighter tolerances. I've never had this problem with my regular SS or Ti Convectors.
Calling it a tool is generous! It's just small bit of plastic. I also noticed they have it listed on the site to buy - HERE
To be fair we've always had to adjust Dynavap caps. I've adjusted the regular cap a bit and the super cap fits fine as is. I've really been enjoying this Ceramo/Super Cap combo, mostly through water. It's great with the Inductor and it torches well too. The Super Cap is also very nice with the CXL, it's easy to get a one-heat roast.
Hi there, to clarify, we test the caps with the Inductor. None of the caps we tested made a noise that was noticeably different than the XL Cap with Titanium housing. The heater plates in the XL Cap with Titanium housing also make a slight audible noise when heated(louder with the Inductor, faint with the wand), a tingle/frequency sound that has always been present.
Some people prefer the Convector XL native without any ceramic tube insert. The feel of warmer vapour can imitate the sensation of combustion/smoke which can be sought after. Not disagreeing with you, different people have different preferences and we do our best to keep this in mind when designing Camouflet products to be as versatile as possible. When using the Ceramo XL natively, you can slow down/adjust your draw speed to limit the amount of heat exposure when taking a draw.

I'll second that. It is an exceptionally nice bong vape as-is. Great flavor preservation. I was lucky to have parts on hand to give me an intercooler and a mouthpiece.
Never been a fan of ballsmouthpiece combos. After you inhale a mouthful of balls you'll never trust them again.
Nope. Doesn't sound like something I'd want to experience.
I understand that, but it seems a little misleading to use a phrase like "Ceramic provides direct cooling" in the product description, if in reality the cooling provided is more comparable to the Convector XL with no cooling tube installed.
On my Ceramo, only the exterior appears to be polished. Doesn't seem like a huge deal but it is a discrepency.
I appreciate that and I suppose I will. I'm just not convinced that mine is really "defective". I'm worried I would get a replacement and have the same problem. I did just try another bowl with the normal cap, torching it this time, and it felt secure enough. It won't stay put in the Wand. I was definitely having trouble with the Super Cap when trying to set it in the recommended position, with torch or Wand.
