Dynavap VapCap

Another way is mouth-pulls.

You pull with your cheeks as if you are sucking on a straw...the same way most people pull on a cigarette. Then, when your mouth is full of vapor, you take a very small inhale...just enough to pull the vapor down into your throat or barely into your lungs. You then "mouth-pull" again from your vape till your mouth is full, and take another small inhale to clear your mouth, but no more. And you continue doing this till your lungs feel 75-85% full, then inhale fresh air to top it off and to get everything from the "dead-zone" in your throat area into your lungs like you would a normal hit.

You should be able to stack anywhere from two or three to four to six of these mouth-pulls before you fill up your lungs if you inhale lightly enough between mouth-pulls (probably more like 2-4 before the click in a Dynavap Vapcap vaporizer). It works very well

Ya know what today felt like?

Can someone explain the best way to draw with a carbless stem with no condenser tube? How does the technique differ from using a normal DV product?

Kinda like a joint, Sip,Sip, Sipping on some vapor. Here is a video with a Glass Charlie carbless stem.

Thanks @Ramahs!

That's the best and most thorough description of a proper mouth pull that I've heard yet.

They should include this shit in a pamphlet that comes with ALL vaporizers. Proper mouth pull technique, proper lung pull technique.

I've seen people take a vaporizer and get horrible results and swear that it's defective or that the whole thing is pointless and Hand That device to somebody else who makes it look like a commercial because they'll take that same device and use it far more efficiently with better results.

The only "important" difference between the 2 people was proper knowledge and technique.

Happy Vaping!

In your regular stem with a carb or as George likes to call it an "Air Port" , outside air is drawn in through the hole and with the hot air that is going through your tip and material, the two combine, and then, condense down to make vapor.

With a glass stem or similar that has no carb/air port, your mouth basically takes it's place.

The best way and position to draw will be different for everyone ultimately.

For a lung pull, I would try this trick to zero in on what your Sweet Spot would be though.

Heat your Cap to where you're ready to begin drawing.

Now place your lips about an inch away from the stem where you will be drawing through the opening.

Now slowly move your lips closer and closer to the opening of the stem, drawing air into your mouth with a fair amount of suction.

Pretend that your lips are already on the stem and you are literally trying to take a lung hit.

Likely somewhere around a quarter of an inch away or a hair closer you'll start to see vapor being produced and moving through the stem toward the opening even though your lips are not actually touching it yet.

As you get closer, you'll notice that the cloud of vapor in the stem gets thicker. You will also more and more definitely notice the vapor entering your mouth and on its way to your lungs.

The goal is to just lightly touch your lips to the opening of the stem so that contact is barely felt and light enough that outside air can equally enter your mouth along with the vapor your drawing through the stem.

From there it's simply a matter of adjusting the vapor vs air ratio, by adjusting the power of your draw, and the amount of contact your lips have with the stem opening, and you'll find that sweet spot where the vapor begins to hit your tongue and lips NOTICEABLY COOLER than room temperature air.

I would say that's a perfect way to gauge what your sweet spot is for a lung pull.

If you do mouth pulls, the technique is similar except you're sucking vapor through the stem first then inhaling versus just straight up inhaling from the stem.

I hope that helps. This was more odd to try to explain, than it sounded in my head, as I initially read the question.

Happy Vaping!

such good information, perfectly and simply described! I am new vapcap owner and i haven't used my 2019 "m" yet. this will help me so much! this should be stickled somewhere, thank you...

Been using the M quite a bit and finally have a decent technique. I was only getting vapor production after the third reheat due to heating too near the end of the cap. Applying heat farther down toward the stem produced milky vapor and complete extraction in one cycle. After three or four bowls the M is pretty warm so a glass stem is still in my sights.

My cap was incredibly loose on arrival and took repeated and sustained pressure to tighten, Dynavap has a video out to explain this issue with shadow M caps.

Does anyone else have a sharp spot on their cap?

The sharp spot on my cap was a manufacturing defect according to VapCap. They sent me out a replacement as soon as they got my e-mail. No hassle.

 

[Easywider]

Just jumped on the Dynavap train again! Picked up a 2019 starter pack from @VGOODIEZ

Enjoyed my original M a lot but ended up gifting it to a friend who was trying to fuckcombustion.

 

[Xclerk]

So glad I stashed a dynastash in a crawl space at work. Especially on these killer hot days. I can duck out for a few get right then back to using power tools lol. May have to get another one or 2.
@RogueGuy I'll def be messing w posing images in the sand box. thanks. I'll give that site a try. Thanks. X

thanks so much for this excellent primer I tried it last night with the RWW glass stem, and it was a game changer for using that stem

Bummer. That will fuck up these groups as least as bad as IMGUR did.

Who will be next...

If only we could host our own pics...

thats sad that tinypic is going under....I stopped using them awhile ago cuz it was a pain to use when it worked (their using the antobot password thing) and it was crasing alot

I am now using postimage... much easier, faster, and no crashs

It is still sad when a pic host goes dark...zillions of forums depend on pic hosting

@stark1 super cool little bubbler!!

Bummer about tinypic. I hate going to early pages and finding all the photos are gone.

Met with Chris at Oregon Glass Lab this morning. Chris is an artist first but also an expert in scientific lab glass and works with clients all over the world. He has a studio, school and his wife runs a retail glass shop. We had an awesome meeting to discuss two projects, the custom TRWW glass stem and a custom heater for the SmokeStack vaporizer.

We talked design, cost and production and it seems that everything is within reasonable parameters.

He is producing 2 designs (prototypes), both will be large diameter. One will be a sleek utilitarian design and one will be more of an artistic traditional glass design. We also talked about doing both designs with and without carbs to give you more options.

I should be able to stay within the price point of the current glass stems on the market of $18-25 but with that big, thick cigar shape and feel.

While I'm super excited, I'm keeping my expectations low. These things have a way of not working out. But, I feel really good about Chris and Oregon Glass Lab, and I think we are going to make this happen.

I use two twin 2018 M stems with wood mouthpieces as my morning daily drivers. Then in the evenings I switched to either one glass and one Danielj wood stem or two glass stems. And love all of them and their differences.
I find the taste a little better with glass but still think the standards taste good. The vapor is a bit cooler. The three different glass stems I have are the small Grav Lab testers, the Rogue Works, and now that Aristocrat. The Rogue cools the best and feels the nicest in the hand. The Aristocrat sits in the middle as in cooling effect to me but the mouthpiece on it is really nice. I dig how easier they are to roll over the torch, and the huge clouds and the extra amounts of pulls I get off of one cycle compared to normal DV's. It feels like you are holding and smoking a cigar with the carbless feel and the way they feel in the hand. They are like my sipping whiskey DV setups. They enticed me to move my o-rings down low on the condenser to block the airports on my morning daily drivers.

Good HOT Friday Morning,
ALL!

When it's ALREADY 85 F in the EARLY morning...
in Michigan...

Let's see. Vaping is made possible by a drop in air pressure and subsequently temperature.....

In order to save us all from a scorching day, I'm going to have to do some serious serious vaping today!

It’s nice. Feels swanky, heavy. Missed opportunity with the way the end of the mouthpiece is shaped—Pete says it mates with a 10mm joint, but it doesn’t do it well. Not as solid a connection as a standard DV mouthpiece has. I like the RWW glass stem more (it’s become my daily driver). That said, the Aristocrat, filled it with 11 6mm cooling beads and a ti tip, is very nice and cools the vapor a lot. Plus, that blue!

Think I may be over the cooling beads when I see all the awesome looking gem stones. Where do I get some of these for my dynavap? Nothing remotely like this avail around me.
Cant wait to get my hands on on of these shiny crystals to put through my 2019m I exclusively for concentrate. Im sure others do this as well. Including on my water pieces. Flower and concentrate leave a distinct diffrent taste i like to keep seperate. Except when mixing lol. Got seperate ones for that as well

I have had little access to concentrates other than an occasional hit from an oil cart. That should all change come January and legal rec here, and I am looking forward to learning about them. Of course I picked up a dynacoil in anticipation, but it is still a virgin.

How to make your DynaVap hands free.

I adjusted my o-ring so that the air port is like a pin hole. This allows the air to slowly enter the air port.
