Just a friendly suggestion and I'm not bashing DV some hateful members are accusing me of but perhaps making a little inventory on popular products like the M before the sale might be a good idea. If they make too many, at least they don't spoil like food. Then, when the sale rush hits, they will have inventory to ship immediately.

Both problems of rushed QC and customer satisfaction solved.

Seems like pretty simple logic to me. Especially since this is not the first year some of these things happened (like server crashes, etc). Learn from previous years. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana

Choosing to stay out of drama cause I'm new here, but anyway... Finally got my shipping email! Anyone in Montreal or somewhere around Quebec know approximate shipping times from DV? Hoping I can get it by the end of this week or early next week before I deplete my stash.

If it makes you feel any better , I didn’t think you were bashing DV , just seemed like you were venting your frustration . It did come off a little over the top , but who hasn’t come off overly irritated every once and a while . I also agree about the stock . Probably should’ve been preparing long before the sale . I love my vapcaps . Favorite vapes to date , but I always order from other vendors as the two orders I placed with Dynavap had a less than satisfactory turn around time ( and neither of them were during sales ) . It’s been a while since I’ve ordered directly from DV , I may try placing a direct order again soon ( also not during a sale ) to see if things move smoother .

It usually takes about a week to arrive in Canada, more or less, depending on customs. Dynavap parcels usually fly through customs.

As I eagerly wait for shipping notice on my 4/20 order Omni Condenser I have begun trying to make some bodies for it when it arrives as I haven't previously had any bodies.

I attempted to make a body out of wood, a thin one like the OG Woodys. But sadly it broke, and I think without a lathe I'm not going to manage it.
So I returned to the length of titanium rod I purchased a while back and made cut myself a titanium body. I had planned to sandblast the centre of the body, leaving polished crowns either end. But after I polished up the body, I totally fell for the all Ti look. So I'll need to make another body for sandblasting, as this one is staying as is. . . . Currently with a spinning Ti MP . . .


Awesome!

Sorry but implying dynavap just didn't bother to build up stock or upgrade servers before 4/20 is either naive or disingenuous. I imagine they tried to do both but miscalculated. Forecasting is imprecise and a small business can't pour all its money into inventory they'll eventually sell and servers they might need.

Not saying dynavap doesn't have problems, just saying they're not as easily solved as you make them out to be.

I ended up getting a Ti Omni XL as part of the flash sale.
The body does have some imperfections and the condenser threading is a rough...I wasnt sure if that was normal. After reading the past few pages, I don't think it is.
Now it's been used and I can't really send it back.
Any advice?

Yes:) Send them an email with this message or phone them if you are not satisfied.

What do the threads look like?

Of course the thing you should do is let them know, they cannot help you or improve for the future if they are not aware of issues.

The fact that big numbers do not get along well with quality is a difficult law to change... especially when requests overwhelm you. This happens in ALL production fields. So I sincerly hope these are only momentary issues... I love my new 2018 "M" but I've found rough parts here and there, if compared with my old "M"...

I hate to comment on the QC discussion, but I feel the Dynavap team wants to know if issues exist. I recently pre ordered the 2018 M w/free Ti tip. Love the unit, but I must say, when I opened it the first thing I notice was the rough machined body ends compared to my 2017 M. Sure I was a little disappointed, and the mouth piece end isn't as smooth as my 2017 M, but it's only cosmetic.

Unrelated to QC....

Have an Omni on the way. Love my M, how easy it is, and utilize the carb (flutter/block) all the time.

To regulate air flow with the Omni, does one:​

Use both the spinning mouthpiece and the carb at the same time when drawing?

Or set the airflow with the MP pre session and use the carb as preferred?​

I am not in any way worried about when I might actually get a shipping notice. The fact that I will be off camping, biking for the next 11 days and not near the PO box anyway might be helping here :)

But I wonder who will be the last of us to get a shipping notice from the 420 sale? How about a contest? I might have made myself a contender with no less than 3 piddly-ass little add-on orders :)

Photos should show everyone everything they need to know. Take a picture of the cap on the tip looking up at the bottom of the cap. If it is so misshapened it will be showing more severe gaps than a "regular" cap

Edit: For the record, this is how much I have to squeeze a new cap to get it on. You have to use a good bit of force but they always snap back

Here's what I do:

Go here.

Then drag/drop the image you want to share onto that page.
Once the photo is loaded and processed, right click the photo and select "Open image in new tab", and copy the web address from that new tab.

Then, come here to post the image.

Click the button for images at the top of the box you type your message into here (it looks like a pic, and says "Image" if you hover your mouse over it) and copy/Paste the web address of that page with your picture (the "New Tab" your image opened in when you clicked "Open image in new tab", and then copied) into the text box in the little window that pops up labeled "Image URL", and click the "Insert" button.

The Omnivap does not have a spinning mp. What makes an Omni an Omni is the threaded integrated mouthpiece/condenser unit.

The Omni airflow is adjusted by intentionally turning the mp that is threaded onto the Omni condenser.

By turning the mp clockwise you thread the mp onto the condenser threads which brings the two pieces closer together, shortening the condenser length and opening the airpath.

Turning the mp counter clockwise threads the mp away, lengthening the condenser to the extent that the beveled condenser end, enters the neck of the tip, cutting off the airflow.

So, you can adjust the amount of airflow by the degree with which you thread the mp on or off of the condenser. The idea is that you set it and forget it. Set your preferred airflow before using.

New Omnis may have a mp/condenser that is bit tight and difficult to adjust, so it can be helpful to pull out the mp/condenser and thread it on and off to understand what's happening and to initially set your airflow. Then lubricate the orings with a bit of spit and push the condenser assembly back into the stem.

With use the condenser will become easier to adjust. When adjusting the condenser AS it sits inside the stem, always check to make sure that the mp has not been pushed away from the stem. If so push the mp into the stem until they meet.

Set your airflow before using. Then use the air intake hole as desired. Everyone has their sweet spot. I like mine set tight in its longest position for satisfying mouthpulls.

Slightly off topic — is there an "official" way to clean the cap? I remember reading somewhere that an iso wash can lead to rust.

I'm not sure why you would need to clean a cap. The cap does not come in contact with resin containing vapor, only clean air passes under it. The parts that require cleaning are the tip and the condenser.

If you don't like the patina that results from repeated heating, I've heard that toothpaste works to polish and clean the exterior of the cap.

If you suck and blow, I could imagine the inside of the cap becoming soiled. If the inside needs a clean up, I would use an ISO moistened Q-Tip and swab the inside of the cap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely before using.

When I got the '18 M it was, in my mind, really for out and about. Nearly indestructible, very inexpensive as vapes go, and very utilitarian. It'll get the job done.

But that's not true at all. I totally understand how someone could make this their daily driver. I've used it for concentrates yesterday and today with a Liquid Pad and it rocked. And then I wanted to have a nice blast of Nillz Gillz flower and popped that in the M and bam. It's amazing how great the clouds are.

I can't wait until the new SS tip is available as a part. I'll get at least one or two more to pair with one or both of my vongs.

As it relates to QC; we can only share our own experience and to date everything I've gotten from DV has been spot-on; well machined, no burrs, no scratches, and gorgeous pieces of wood. My all Ti Omni XL is a thing of beauty-I spent a few minutes just admiring it today in between heating cycles. Form meets function.

I'm bummed for the people who've had problem parts/vaporizers. And I know DV isn't happy either. But the reason this thread is at 1243 pages in such a short time is because DV has taken care of the community since day one.

We should expect nothing less this time. I know I don't.
 
Don't worry, I'll make sure to post if mine are in great shape. Often, situations like this are because of a vocal minority (particularly with enthusiast forums like this one). I'm staying optimistic. It will be a little painful, however, when my Silo and Launchpad arrive before the Dynavap products themselves!

i agree ... my nonavong xls is my first dynavap ... and it looks great to me ... i don't have another one to compare it to but it looks finished to me ... and it sure does hit great!

I scored a Ti Omni XL at 40% off sale on 4/20 @ 4:20 PM. Everything is flawless, like the other stuff I've ordered (now 3). On a whim I grabbed a NonaVong XL stem to go with the Ti stem because i roll like that. Everything was mint and up to my expectations. Loving the XL! No body imperfections or machining marks anywhere.

I even got 2 small snap stashes included as I decided to have some spare caps, just in case. One stash held the caps, the other the vong stem.

My first order was Black Friday 2017 where I ordered a cocobolo OmniVong and got a standard body instead. Dynavap (and George personally!) contacted me and sent me a free Vong body. Well they must have known what they were doing as 2 months later I was tired of swapping bodies and ended up ordering another Omni condenser and Ti head and a cap to have 2 complete Vapes. Now I have a third...:spliff:

I've also influenced 4 people to try the "M" from my non-legal state as a way to help others affordably fuck combustion.

Sorry to see the complaints from others who scored but the sale wasn't necessarily a stock dump to everyone who bought. They are catching up on orders and have a great history of CS.

Edited to include that 1 iso damp cotton swap was all it took to clean each new part too.

I can only do that through water...I need practice :)

maybe not...there are variables...it's finding the sweet spot which has three factors. Air/heat/user, this is where the omni is worth the extra.
With and without flash. Up close and cropped so you can really look at it.

hard to tell from photo but if not stained I'd say black walnut.

a question on the magic flight orbiter.
Can it fit a vong with a MP ?

i was bummed out to find out no but have a dedicated ti vong for it. If you really want the orbiter you could get an adapter to lengthen it. I really enjoy using them together and suggest you go for it.

Edit:sorry I double posted again

Not OT at all I guess. Well, this is my official way to clean it inside (and to clean pretty all metal parts of vapes): I use baking soda, sometimes along with some vinegar to soften the cooked spots. Then I wash it, or even boil it for a bit. When clean I dry it fast. No problem found so far.

My cap needs it. Especially when using a bit of concentrate or reclaim (that I usually put on top of the herb) my cap does get pretty dirty inside... and I tend to charge the chamber to the max so there's contact with material here.

I guess it could also affect the natural, original good "click"...

Cleaning it... LIVE. ;)
