Honest question for those with 6+ VapCaps:
Why do you have so many?
Is it purely for the aesthetic differences?
Is it so you can have them spread around in all different locations so one is always close? But then you'd have to have lighters and herb every where too.
I can see having a few different ones like an M, an omni, an XL, a Vong. But why so many of the same type?
Genuinely curious.

can we actually see the collection? Those tubes look amazing but they look no different than my ownOne of those moments in which you realize that you somehow lost control:
And those are just the "daily drivers"... The collection itself is spread over several boxes and drawers. Gosh. I have to overthink my VAS strategy...

Its an addiction or is it madness.
My wife calls it a waste of money, if she only knew the full extend.
Does anyone know why exactly the steel tip doesn't have the same 3 grooves on the very end like the titanium tip does? I have the M and I'm convinced just by comparing the two tips that the titanium one would give a much better airflow. So I'm wondering if the decision was to reduce costs or if there was a more functional reason.
Has anyone cut grooves into the steel tip and noticed an overall improvement?

I prefer carbless stems for a couple of reasons.
I have sensitive lungs and prefer to toke using a small mouthpull followed by inhaling fresh cool air with my vapor. Coupled with a filter, the vapor becomes cool and as smooth as silk. I can get high without any lung irritation at all and absolutely no coughing.
The other benefit is that I don't need to pay attention to where the hole is; just heat and toke.
Some of my stock Vapcaps have the orings moved down the condenser to block the air intake. My Omni condensers are locked down all the way. Others are used as intended, with my finger controlling the action.
I do switch up the technique, but my favorite way to get there is on a carbless stem.
I use a long Q-Tip moistened with ISO. They are 6" long and double tipped. A few passes through the condenser cleans them up.

Then I push an alcohol wipe through the condenser for a final pass.

Some people collect teapots, others collect salt and pepper shakers. Go figure... I have unintentionally become a Vapcap collector and I love it!
Why Vapcaps?
A large collection takes up very little space.
The modular build brings out a child like glee in me while playing around with the components. LEGO for stoners.
They are beautiful!
They are functional!
They are pure artistic creations that don't require a lot of exotic material.
It is fun using them in rotation.
There is always a clean Vapcap close at hand.
I have them all over the place. Some are in my workshop, some in the garage, others in the bedroom and a few in the living room. Some are used out on the porch. One lives beside the tub and is heated with a candle during a nice soak. Some are used for concentrates and are fitted with a concentrate pad. There are those that are designated for daytime sativas, others for evening indicas. Some only come out for company while others are with me on hikes through the woods. Some are waiting to be gifted to a special someone who demonstrates a desire to FC.
Each location has a stash or decorative box or pouch of some sort to house the Vapcap(s), hence another collectable opportunity...
Oh, and Vapcaps are the best vaporizers!!!
Did I mention that they are beautiful???
Is it madness??? Yes, it's a total insanity.
Having a bunch of Vapcaps will make your heart swell and burst! So, get rid of that bulky teapot collection and who really needs more salt and pepper shakers??? Get yourself a bundle of Vapcaps instead and maybe some nice containers to go along with them..

Very interesting perspective! That’s why I ask! I usually always use the carb, as that’s what I’m used to, since I used to use glass, before converting! It also makes sense in the aspect of the “stock” stems all have the carb, so it would make sense that an aftermarket stem would have the option to go carbless! You have a beautiful collection by the way. I’m literally obsessed with exotic woods myself, so having the ability to build and design my own stems is exactly like you said “playing LEGO’s” !!!I prefer carbless stems for a couple of reasons.

I bought my first M on a vacation in Amsterdam and had the opportunity to test it right after the purchase on a bench in the sun with some strawberry cough. Tears of joy. I knew immediately that I finally had found THE vape for me. No plastic. No batteries. No iPhone surveillance. No robotics. Just Simplicity. Flavor. Clouds. Hits. Efficiency. Effectiveness. Ingenious Engineering. Perfection. Beauty. Than at home again I searched the web and found all the models and ordered a titanium omni. The store offered also some wood stems and I also bought one of them. When they arrived I realized that the stem would not work with my omni (not familiar with VAS at that time), so I had to order an XL condenser, a tip and a mouthpiece – to build a Ti Woody XLS. Than I gave away my M to a friend and suddenly realized that it had different qualities than my TIs and thought that I would need a new M to also have an SS vape at my disposal - with that I also ordered an original Vapcap since it all started with it and I was so in love with VCs already that there was no way around that. Oh, and a DC cocobolo stem, because I thought them to be really nice and wanted to make a Woody XLS all steel version. But I also was still searching for some wood bodies to make a wood omni from my Ti omni. I finally found a store that still had some Ti Woody S and so I ordered it. RIght now I am waiting for an additional cocobolo body (since they are so beautiful) and are planning to get a newer TI tip for it - the current with the rounded fins, since they distribute the heat more gentle than the TI tips of my Woodies (five fins but not rounded). Still don't know how to get a pink mouthpiece though since I don't want to order a whole new VC with it...
And everything what @Squiby said.

It's actually perfect! Just barely on though, so the flame is less than an inch. Hold the cap right where the flame stops. Takes 5-10 seconds to click depending where I hear. And since it's a giant camping propane tank it just sits on the table, I don't have to hold it. But I will definitely be getting a handheld one for portability in the future
That is awesome! I feel like now I understand people's love affair with them because you can appease VAS by just buying different parts instead of whole new devices all the time haha.Yes you can. Vapcap components are modular, so you can mix and match parts. The stainless steel midsection on the M is a stem length - 62mms long and can be replaced with a VonG stem which is the same length.
Like this...
https://www.dynavap.com/dynashop/parts/stem-dark-wood-nonavong
There are lots of choices and combinations for replacing your stem. You could go for a VonG body which is 45mms long and add a spinning mp.
Or you could buy an XL condenser with a spinning mp to go along with a VonG stem to make your Vapcap an XL.
Or you could go for an aftermarket wood stem from our artists on the forum. Here is one of mine made by the esteemed @phattpiggie. Snakewood with Blackwood ends.
My metal clad Vapcaps don't get hot, but I use a small single jet Aomia lighter and keep the flame as low as it can go without sputtering. A large torch is way overkill.
Below is my lighter next to two of my favorite Vapcaps. The titanium and niobium stems were made by the incredibly talented @stardustsailor.
Basically, the choices are endless..... But that's how we like it.
Easy customization FTW!
Havent even turned on my flowerpot this morning, just a bunch of M bowls.

I think George likes everyone, and that is part of why everyone likes him. Just part, tho, as George has qualities rarely visible from a company owner, even when they have similar qualities. George goes out of his way to be sure that we are HAPPY Dynavap customers. And we repay him by spreading the word. And buying more VCs, of course. An admirable guy who stands out from the rest.
For some of us who have been along for the ride since early on we wanted to keep up with the tech as it improved. From all glass to other more natural materials, through various tip designs and indestructible metals and brilliant concepts. George has helped other vendors develop on his platform which has brought even more innovation, variety, and imagination that benefits us all. To be honest, the only reason I don't have more than I do is financial conditions, or I'm sure my hoarding tendencies would have take over and I would have dozens and would be a better customer for our resident artists.
Using them with glass exclusively I have no need or interest in a carb hole and tend to block it permanently. The negative pressure glass provides makes it unnecessary and would reduce the cloudiness I go to glass for.
When out and about, however, I much prefer having a carb to manage air flow. While I COULD get by without one, I definitely prefer it.

While I like having the historical perspective and owning several different tips, I am pretty confident that each tip was an improvement over what came before, and the current Gen6 tip is the best I have used. That being said, all of my tips perform well and the difference between them is not huge while still being noticeable.
If I were looking to buy a used VC I would not be discouraged from buying anything from Gen4 (7fin) on. I think many still like the Gen4 best, tho I do not.

It is hard to say what is 'better' imo. I found the gen5 ti tip to be a better 'one hitter' while the gen6 ti tip performs better in longer sessions. And since the ss tip does take longer to heat up it is actually lower temp when the cap clicks (with the same lighter compared to a ti). So I get maybe five to six cycles out an ss while only three from a gen6 ti tip and two from a gen5 ti tip. Sooo... it depends on daytime, material and mood which model I prefer. And while the older tips may be less performative, well that doesn't bother the collector in me.
Edit: But yes, I would also consider the current tips both ti and ss to be very well balanced.

Yeah, I didn't even mention the SS tips, and I will just add that to me, the difference between the SS and Ti tips is greater than the generational differences between the Ti tips. My favorite use of the SS tip is on the end of a DDave wand in glass. I hope nobody considers that sacrilege...

A happy customer is a repeat customer.
From the start George has strived to make buying from DV a good experience.
On occasion some slip ups occur but that's to be expected when dealing with so many people.
No other vape company has a community of users like Dynavap and it's a community I'm proud to be part of.

The basic Vapcap began as the glass OG Vapcap. The glass OG served as an entry level Vapcap because George could offer it for a low price (not lower function. In fact many prefered the glass model), while the Ti tipped Vapcaps, though very reasonable in price, we're significantly more expensive. The problem with The glass model was that it was made of glass and therefore fragile.
The stainless steel M Vapcap was created to replace the fragile OG with a more robust, less fragile, basic model while still keeping the cost down. So the stainless steel M tip, though very functional, is a more simple production model.
The SS M tip is $25 vs the $40 Ti tip. The neck of the M tip only sports 3 orings vs 4 on the Ti for a more secure fit. The double M channels are more shallow and less abundant than those on the Ti and there are no ridges to meet the channels so the airflow is not quite as open. The Ti tip also has three interior ridges in which to seat the screens for variable bowl depth. The Ti tip is just much more finely milled and offers a more quick and nimble experience.
One of the brilliant features of the Dynavap line is that there is a model for every pocketbook and every asthetic. A new customer need not drop a couple hundred bucks to sample the Vapcap magic. Ms are affordable. You can buy Ms for friends or give them as Birthday and Xmas gifts.
Yes, many folks have filed a deeper channel along the sides of the tip as well as cut a groove into the top. This will improve airflow.

Geez, @Hackerman that's my EDC.
I still have spare ceramic screens. The little clips are called "Jesus Clips", cause that's what you yell as it went flying on the third try of installation. Doc
