Hi all, just wondering if anyone could confirm the diameter of titanium Convector cap for me? I have a customer who'd like one of my cooling stands sized for it. Thanks in advance ✌

I really like the stand you made me for the tornado!

One thing to note with the cxl is the friction fit of the cap, rather than a threaded mechanism. If you’re pulling your cxl up, you don’t want the magnet to be too strong!

I have a non-enclosed magnet solution that i use for hot sticks that I need to slide the tip off the magnet so I can safely lift for the puff without losing a cap. It’d be interesting to see an enclosed design that has that sort of slide ability off the magnet .. with a ramp out on one side or something for sliding so you’re not pulling apart your cap and top.

so, after necessarily intermittent (over-medicated) testing, I found the UFO induction heater is the perfect match to the convector cap, twice as fast as the wand, I use the ufo like lighting a joint, then 5-7 seconds to tasty pure convection hits, with 3second reheats! using an inverted mesh bowl screen to maintain 1/2 bowl. wand seems finicky and slow in comparison. Strange as I usually save ufo for SS tips because Ti tips tend to combust easily in ufo. Since the convector only needs to insert just the tip, heat build up to burning is avoided.

I've also found the convector cap works great on my vong tips for easier 1/2bowl dosing, want to pick up a ss cap to compere.

Absolutely. The regular Convector fits on a 10mm, so you may need an adapter for a 14mm or 18mm piece. The Convector XL fits on a 14mm glass piece.
One piece of advice: Don't hit it too hard, or you will likely combust. Easy does it :-)

Does it click like Dyna?

Hello! My convector arrived yesterday and I have a logistical wand question. I have read the guidance on inserting the ti convector at an angle the minimum amount needed to trigger the wand heating. what i was wondering was if these instructions require there to be no wand insert in the wand? i currently have the tempest insert in there and was wondering if i could leave it in and still heat the convector well so that i can swap between the tempest and convector easily.

yesterday i tried an empty heatup with the insert in there and it seemes like i needed to insert the convector quite far to trigger the heatup. nBefore pulling the insert and trying again I thought I'd ask for the experiences of others.

thank you!

I took out my insert, look up a few posts to see the most effective wand heating technique (for me at least).

I am really enjoying the camouflet so far.

It’s like the dynavap and lotus had a love child, the form factor of a vapcap but lightweight and mimimalist, as it should be, and the lovely convection effects and taste of the lotus

Initially I heated way too much, quickly learned that it does not need much heat at all. Still, haven’t combusted yet. So it has good margin for error.

Very short learning curve, all the control is in the drawspeed.

Highly recommended but take the time to clean it first because I had a lot of metal machining gunk on the inside.

I do wonder how to replace the upper (in the cap) and regular screen. That seems hard to do and fragile?

What portable induction heater would you all recommend for the convector aside from the wand ?

I've only used the wand and ufo IHs can't comment on the others, the form factor and super fast heatup of the UFO is perfect for quick 1/2 bowl hits. I don't even use the wand with the convector caps anymore (see my post above^) I just ordered 2 ss convector caps to use with vong tips, the blue Ice especially is reallllly tight on regular dyna cap, but the convector cap works great and gives new value to the vong tips,
ps, the CXL and capacitor cap will not fit in the UFO but fit in the wand

Does anyone use the SS version with the Flare and can confirm it works. I guess SS is supposed to be better than Titanium for IH's but I have a SS & Titanium Stunner and the SS won't work with it but the Ti is fantastic. And can anyone confirm if the stem gets too hot to hold. I just got a revolve stem and I find it kinda unusable because of how much heat transfer there is. Never expected that because of how popular they are with Dyna users. Thanks alot.

Edit: Forgot to ask.....is the cap magnetic, can it be taken off with a magnet?

The amount of heat transferrred to your Revolve stem just proves how effective the stem is at removing heat from the vapor.

I LOVE my Revolve (and Tempest) exactly for that amazing demonstration of physics.

Hmmmm, interesting. Not sure why you'd love a too hot to hold stem though. But I guess if that's the case, I'll skip the Convector. Thanks.

I used my cxl with an old glass revolve stem and it worked like a charm! One thing to check is make sure your o-rings are the only thing on your tip touching the stem
