Dynavap VapCap

Thanks for the advice, the Vapcap takes some getting used too. Comparing it with my Vapman I have to say even though the devices are similar there are some very fundamental differences...
  • The Vapman has much less draw resistance.
  • The Vapcap is easier to handle and heat.
  • Can't vape nugs with the Vapman.
  • The Vapman can be reloaded while hot, the Vapcap needs to cool down a bit.
  • Also, the M seems a bit short for my taste - the grip gets hot, the Vapman only gets pleasantly warm.
  • I like how portable the Vapcap is.
  • Did I mention I love being able to vape nugs... No grinder needed, great taste. I love that.
I'm looking forward to build my portable induction heater for the Vapcap...

Got my blue omni and it's bueatiful - but the cap is way too loose. It falls off if the omni is tilted even slightly down.

This is the seconed fitting issue I've had with vapcaps. The last TI top I got is too loose on the body, I got some response from Dynavap when that happened but it never got resolved. Luckily my old cap still works and fits fine so it's kind of a non-issue this time, but the loose parts make me wonder about tolerances and quality control.

I know I have heard people from Dyna Vap quote that you can give it a slight squeeze so that it grabs a little better. I imagine the metal can change ever so slightly as its used but it often seems like its omni users that I see claiming this (wonder if its something with the characteristics of the metals and friction too).

The omni XL I have seems to fit just right but it hasn't been used a lot - if I shook/swung the cap would for sure come off.

Pardon? Hot grip? M?? What are you doing to it?

Maybe that the "Princess and the pea" may feel so, but any "normally" sensitive human being???

Call me Princess and her pea (Los, mach schon! ;)), but the grip of the M also gets quite warm (one could call it hot) for me if I do fast mouth pulls and reheat the tip quickly. That is one of the reasons why I prefer the XL variants. But it only happens in the described scenario, not during "normal" usage.

You should try a Grasshopper. Probabely you're getting burned ;)

I notice that if I do double bowls with my SS lined stems the upper part near the tip gets quite warm. I don’t notice it as much with the brass since the heat gets conducted quickly throughout the liner. This is with Ti tips btw, M tips hold even more heat.

Without the wood to protect my fingers it wouldn’t be so nice to grasp that’s for sure

My M18 gets very hot to the touch, especially while I am testing a new lighter, 10 reloads and 47 heat cycles at an average of 8 seconds each.....in one sitting, I thought I could last longer than the tank in my new Honest duel flame gold lighter, I couldn`t. I finished the tank off the next day.
So, this may as well be an interim report on the lighter,
17 Vapcap loads for a total of 77 heat cycles of 8 seconds average for a tank of gas seems good.
The lighter did not need any adjustment until the 60th heat cycle (when it first misfired) then ran until empty with no problems except another adjustment to full power to finish the tank.
I am now on my 6th refill and it only misfires when it gets low on gas.
I think it is a great lighter for the price.

That's right, I never have. Once, I had thought that I had combusted but it was just very dark ABV and no burnt combustion taste.

I am a cautious heater. That doesn't mean that I never go to high temps. It means that I tread softly. I never "torch" my caps. When I compare my caps that are several years old now compared to some who have had theirs for just months, the difference is apparent. My caps have a bronze patina vs something that came out of a BBQ pit inferno.

I use the Sip and Dip technique now but I used to heat click to click. Others have reported reheating prematurely thinking that they missed the cool down click, overheating and combusting. I errored at the other end of the spectrum. I would get lost in what I was doing and forget that the cap had clicked, so when I was learning I heated most often from cold rather reheating while still hot.

I believe any newbie starting out should use a quad jet lighter, set at the lowest setting, blue inner flames just picking the cap, until they have sorted out the best technique suited to them. Single jets are awesome IMO but they require a more refined technique.

Thanks , have always wondered about this kind of stuff. No kidding. If I may ask how long did each run take? How long is in one sitting, (ballpark). Interested in this stuff, thanks and Cheers, D.

Am I really so insensitive?? Mine is getting just warm for my feeling.

I use a single flame and heat very hot, so after 6 or so heat cycles the vape is getting pretty warm. I also should mention that this is not a spread out session and usually I’m heating immediately after the cool down click.

The heating method, draw method and time between hits will significantly effect how hot the stem gets.
