Thanks for your post! I took it apart and my restriction point is the chamber screen. I can hold one end up to the light and see about 25% of the holes clogged. The holes in the screens in the cap are pretty clear.

Is the bottom screen in the tip welded in? I would prefer to not remove it.
The Chamber screen is not welded in place and can be removed from the chamber for deep cleaning. The Chamber screen is held in place via friction fit. You can use the ceramic tube to help stabilize the screen when re-seating it inside of the chamber.

The heater plates inside of the Camo cap(except the OG model) are welded in place and should not be removed.

Thanks!! Very basic soak with 91% and hot water rinse worked better than expected. Since I have no spare orings I didn't remove the condenser. One weird thing? The orings on the tip seemed to expand during the soak. When I tried to reassemble they seemed slightly swollen and did not want to go on. I set everything aside for a while. After that everything went right back together. I pulled out two slightly stronger torches and I am back to testing.

The Convector has become my go to vape for mornings with coffee. I absolutely love the ritual, whereas Tempest/TA by focusing on thermal retention suits nicely to evening sessions where you want to rip through a bowl; the Convector’s insanely quick thermal transfer means it’s perfect for slowly enjoying a bowl one draw at a time, with a quick burst of heat for each draw. Really, really impressed by this little guy. My only complaint is I find the single bore ceramic tube a touch warm still for my liking, will experiment with the quad bore when my XL gets here!

:peace:

My Inductor arrived and it is a treat to use with the Convector! I’m at 21.6 on the inductor, I don’t think I’ve ever counted how long I heat, it’s red hot so instantly…but I do let it glow for a couple beats while I rotate it, then a couple beats cool and getting thick tasty vapor! While the Camo cap does cool quick, back to back reheats will retain some calories so shorten heat/lengthen cool as needed.

Really looking forward to my XL!

I'm looking into buying a convector, but i'm not sure about stainles or ti. My primary goal is to have a spliff like experience, especially for sharing with friends, who i couldn't convince with alle the battery powered vapes i own. The Omni i have bought recently, got me near to a nice experience (not just click on, draw, click off), but i somehow miss the type of airflow my convection vapes. So the convector seems like the perfect hybrid for on the go. I'm the kind of low temp (180-195°/356-382F) flavour chaser and while i could kill a bowl in one, with this I'm really trying to recreate the spliff experience with more draws.
Gonna order a YLL Heater 2.0, because butane is nice, but slight wind or standing in public, it still looks like smoking a cr*** pipe.

So long story short:
Would the convector be the right device?
SS or TI? I saw some comments, that the TI Version has the better flavour but SS retents the heat better - something i've wished for the omni while the cold weather in recent weeks. How big are those differences and how is the TI Version working with an IH?
Thanks.

Yes and no. While a vape with a massive heater matrix might be better for extended, spliff-like sessions, the Convector hits your other marks on flavor, flexible dosing, and other vapor quality aspects. The Convector heats and cools quickly, about enough time for whatever sized single hit you want, but it will be too cool then to pass. With an IH it may not matter.
SS or TI? I saw some comments, that the TI Version has the better flavour but SS retents the heat better - something i've wished for the omni while the cold weather in recent weeks. How big are those differences and how is the TI Version working with an IH?
I would get the SS for use outside. They both cool quickly but the ss should hold heat longer. The only IH I've used with them is the Inductor and it's great with both. I assume others will be as well.
Hope you enjoy it! Hope your buddies do too!

I would also add that it’s a very manual experience and has a fairly steep initial learning curve, combusters might not be patient enough to learn it in a short session.

exactly. still a fantastic vape to have whether you share it or not, and the quick heating and cooling are really useful at times.

Which of the two Convector do you recommend and what are the performance differences between the two?
Is one better than the other for use with a lighter or IH?

Between the SS and Ti, or the regular and XL? I really haven't found them so different as to have a preference although the SS will hold heat a little better so it's better for cooler days, use outside, etc. I have only used the torch or the Inductor with them to limit conduction but I think people regularly use either with like the Wand, but I don't know if one's preferred for that. Between the XL and the OG, they're both awesome; the OG is marginally easier to torch but the XL is especially awesome as a waterpipe vape. I haven't used it enough yet to know whether I will have a strong preference, but the OG is worth having whether or not you have the XL. Perhaps the opposite is true as well?

Convector Stainless Steel, Titanium and XL models pair perfectly with the Camouflet Inductor.

Convector Stainless Steel and XL pair very well with the wand induction heater. Convector Titanium works with the wand but must be held at an angle to engage the wand induction coil.

Convector Stainless Steel and Titanium work well with other 3rd party induction heaters. If the XL can fit in the coil area of a 3rd party induction heater it will work well.

With torch lighters and larger torches, Convector Stainless Steel has slightly more heat retention and the Convector Titanium offers faster heat up and cool down times. Convector XL has a good amount of heat retention due to its larger mass.

Convector Stainless Steel and Titanium pair well with glass pieces and have a 10mm native taper on the stem mouthpiece.

Convector XL can accommodate larger doses and works well with smaller doses, as long as the chamber screen surface area is covered in material it will function and extract properly. The XL pairs exceptionally well with glass pieces and has a 14mm native taper on the stem mouthpiece.

I am having trouble getting the chamber screen clean? Probably waited too long to clean it. Soaked in 91% for over 24 hours. Scrapped insides of everything w 91% and cuetips. Visual inspection indicated about 30% blockage. Tried to take some pics and scrape the screen. Nothing worked. Should I reassemble and try to burn it out? I don't want to remove the screen if I can avoid it.

I have come to really like this vape! The design and simplicity are elegant from an engineering perspective. Flavor excellent. Only issue is cleaning. I have several IH's and this vape works well in both. Anyone used a jewelry cleaner to clean this one and Dynavaps?

Let it soak in some iso then you can use warm iso in a shot glass and blow bubbles it should help clear any solid debris. A cheap ultrasonic cleaner is good to have around for smaller screens. I even use it w the thicker ti cannabishardware screens for the shovel head bowls which get decently clogged

Thanks for the responses! I was also thinking to take a Mighty cleaning brush and cut it down to make it stiff and use it on both sides of the screen to try to clear it. Are jewlery cleaners capable of removing this type of debris? When I cleaned this before just a soak in 91 did the trick. I just waited too long this time. I really appreciate the help

I just wanted to make a quick post about how much I've come to love the Convector. I recently got an OG SS for cheap and It just fits my (perhaps somewhat niche) preferences so perfectly. The flavor I get on some of these hits is crazy, I really love using whole nug.

If anyone else is a flavor-chasing, micro-dosing vaper who prefers a convection high but not completely without some conduction; who loves the ritual of torching but who'd rather not mess with massive flames, dangerously hot metal, and excessively long heat up times; who loves the endless customization options of 8mm stems, both practical and aesthetic; and who finds a lot of joy in learning a device and developing a kind of autonomous push-and-pull relationship with it: this is a great vape for you.

I'm just sad it didn't register as something I'd enjoy sooner. I've known about the device for like a year now but I've always just brushed it off as something I didn't really need to try. Looking forward to hopefully trying out a Ti one soon.

Anyone has an idea, where to source replacement screens? The website mentions the possibility but I didn't found a European based source (or on their website).
At the moment I get some decent results with the YLL IH 2.0, but always on the brink of combusting the top layer...
Wanted to try and get a sorta half bowl placement, but the screen only gets grip right at the bottom, so I fear I might need a replacement sooner or later.
 
UhuM,
Anyone know will a Convector XL tip fit in a Dynastash? & what is the overall length of the XL? I couldn't find that info easily.

I soaked my Ti parts in 91% for a few days. Removed the parts to brush off and clean w water and when I touched the screen with a brush it fell out.

Is the chamber now toast and I just need to order a replacement? I am a bit aggravated at this. Please advise....

The Chamber screen is not welded in place and can be removed from the chamber for deep cleaning. The Chamber screen is held in place via friction fit. You can use the ceramic tube to help stabilize the screen when re-seating it inside of the chamber.

The heater plates inside of the Camo cap(except the OG model) are welded in place and should not be removed.
Please advise as to the correct orientation of the chamber screen tabs when it needs to be reinserted into the chamber? Mine came out yesterday during cleaning. I had thought wrongly that this screen was tack welded to the chamber? Good to know I have not trashed my heating chamber.
