Dynavap VapCap

[ubardog]

Mmmmm, I have one well seasoned with resin from the hash-tobacco “hybrid” I consumed exclusively for many years. The ones we used came with soapstone bowls and I haved carved replacement bowls. I remember making them fragile thin sometimes. Hmmmm, I should mate that seasoned stem to a tip (make soapstone female/female adapter) and it would be like using a seasoned cask for Scotch

I'm diggin it

Thanks!
I just put the tip and screen in ziplock and shook with ISO and epson salt.
A few Q-tips in and out then rinsed. Seems to have cleaned most out the gunk out.

I didn’t clean the cap...didn’t seem to need it yet. Although I’ve only owned it for three weeks now.

Ziplocks and dishwashers, thats way too much work and time imo. I use Fran Wilson Nail Tees, a hard pointy version of a Q-tip (google it). This has made cleaning my VC a 3 minute affair. I only need to use one to clean all parts of the VC:
First I use one to uninstall the screen, because usually the gunk in the tip is so thick that it prevents me from inserting the condenser tube into the tip to remove the screen.
The ti screen ive never had to clean.
Dip the ends of the nail tee in iso, run it through the condenser tube... the pointy end makes it a breeze to insert (as opposed to a normal q-tip which requires modifying) and its the perfect thickness to quickly get the tube clean with no hassle.
Same with cleaning the tip. The pointy end is good at clearing gunk out of the grooves and crevices inside the tip. Done.
Theyre also great for removing mouth gunk from the mouthpiece o-ring. Regular q-tips are a giant fail compared to these things.

This are my cleaning tools , paper towel is wet with olive oil

And here's the result , charged , ready to go out for a pizza with friends ! I use to close the hole with a strip I bought for some earphones ...

That strap looks cool but in case you don't know, if you adjust the place of the "last" O-Ring to the end of the tube, you won't need the strap anymore.

It is an Omni assembly!! why don't you adjust it. Don't see the point of closing the hole in an omni.

Most omni's don't completely shut off with the adjustment. On my TI Omni XL I get a small amount of airflow when the valve is completely closed. Because I don't use it on a water piece I don't mind and I like to play the air hole like a flute, but if I DID want to use it on water I would have to use one method or another to close it completely.

A dirty Omni may close more completely due to resin buildup, but I like my Omni clean...

Could be a spinner as well? My favorite Vapcap for months now is an old Omni body on a Ti-Condenser with a spinning Ti-mouthpiece. I used the O-Ring trick to disable the kickhole and that's how it works for me best...

 

[cybrguy]

Could be, but if you look in his soaking bowl there is an Omni mp and condenser in there.

I have heard (read) some say that they can close the omni off completely and I wonder if there was a period when Omnis did close off. I got mine for BF last year so maybe I should only say Omni's of that vintage don't completely close off.

I seem to remember a statement from DV at one time with a reason why but I don't remember what it was. It might have been avoiding a potential problem with the valve...

Hey, how's it going everyone!

I just got my Shadow M order from Dynavap(crazy fast, wow)! I was pretty excited right up until I opened the package. I was not prepared for what I was going to find.

My excitement multiplied by 1000. AN EXTRA STEM WITH A DESIGN! hdbdhebkjdh, so happy I dont even know what to say! Thank you! Dynavap makes amazing quality vaporizers and George and his crew are amazing people. Real top tier.

 

[cybrguy]

Very cool, congrats. Makes me wish I had ordered as I watched the clock click rather than the next day.

In truth there is nothing better than the joy that comes along with feeling the largess of the king of DV. George is a special guy and DV is a special company, and we all benefit from both. I give thanks for Dynavap.

 

[Whisper]

Damn it!!
That is awesome, isn't it?
I love surprises!!

 

[stark1]

Looks like you may be on to something, @StoneMan.

A prototype, of a new release? Etched stems?

Nice sur- prize!

 

[cybrguy]

Gotta say that special Shadow M stem surrounded by a Ti MP and a Ti tip is the tits...

I thought so too!! They're from the gold anodized omni.

Those pictures dont begin to do it justice! The etching is so much more detailed!

Electroboy !!!!!!

Loving that effect - ya a lucky man

 

[cybrguy]

No disrespect to the DV brethren but there is a possibility that this was not intentional and resulted from a failure in the process of making these "black". George is a master at making lemonade out of lemons, like the original Ti MPs that were cut from failed Omni condensers. That makes it no less cool but might reduce the likelihood of future "etched" stems. Actually it might make it even more cool and unique.

 

[Action]

Wow....That was fast. Anyone else get one yet ? I am happy if I get mine by the end of next week. Now I am really hoping sooner LOL. Very nice bonus for you....

It looks pretty deliberate to me. Theres also a break in the pattern on the back. Cant be sure though.

Whatever the process, you lucky, Bud!

A shout out, to the DV Team!

I like lightning Bolts of Memory.

I just noticed my Shadow M body is now ferromagnetic, weaker than the cap but a small magnet will stick to it. Won't hold it's weight from a dynamag sideways though.

 

[westchop]

Does anybody know if you order a SS tip from DV, does it come with orings, ccd and a cap?

Thanks!
