Looking for a way to vape kief - I love a nice kief bowl without flower (my version of concentrates haha)

Quickly searched this thread for kief. Some mention it works great. Some mentions it will gum up the innards (?)

What’s the experience of puffing a 100% kief bowl/cap (?) like?

*vas theme song plays in background*

edit - perhaps a tiny bit of flower and then a 95% kief bowl?

I vaped kief in the Vapcap and didn't like how quickly my tip and cap became a mess (the oily stuff dripped into the cap). Taste was very nice though! At the time I only had one Vapcap, now I would probably use VCs for flower and one for hash.

My vape of choice for kief: Vaponic.

Perhaps wrapping the Kief in a little Rayon, first, would help?

I keep hearing it works great for concentrates, so why not kief?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Happy Vaping! :leaf:

much appreciated everyone! I have a desktop (classic) and portable (mighty) I thoroughly enjoy.

I’m not sure if my devices are the best for puffing kief, as I’m only four months into my life without combustion. I find my throat hurts after using the volcano with the liquid pad + kief.

*vas theme song intensifies*

would the 2018M be better suited to my needs than the 2019M? I heard the 18M has less airflow. Better for kief, no? Almost half the price for the 18M vs 19M :brow:

There is also the log option using adapters. That may negate the cap completely. Not fully up on it but there are hints in the development threads.
Never seen these adapters your mention. Any chance you know of one that would work vapcap to e-nano?

My approach to kief is the following: I use a small ball of degummed hemp inside my tips to filter particles out when vaping flower. After a few days that little ball is sticky. Roll it around in grinder and coat with kief. Works great, but I’m low tolerance, not sure you could do a lot of kief this way...

Re keif (or as I say "Mr Sutherland")

I pack a tiny little bowl. Just barely 1/4 up. Then use a dab tool to sprinkle a bunch of keif in. Almost up to 3/4 level. Then take a nail. A literal nail. Metal. Use it as a tamp. The level should be back down to 1/2 now. Then sprinkle more ground bud on top. Then tamp with the nail again.

This makes a keif "sandwich" with weed bread. Yummy. Just needs good Wisconsin cheese. George?

Works for me.

I think I may have one of those bad tips that were out a while ago. Admittedly, it's a tip that I have not used very much at all. I was doing the lego thing and did some re-arranging. I loaded it up earlier and did my normal thing and got misty vapor, not as thick as normal, but the effects were there so didn't think much about it. I just happened to lay that tip down next to another and thats when I noticed the grooves were not as indented as my other tips.

Was that the issue? I seem to recall it was something like that but maybe I'm wrong?

I don't know of one particular. I was referring to the log developers sizing tubes to work with VC's. I will be doing this with the Tinymight by making a VC stem that also seals at the mouthpiece of the TM. This is only to convert the VC's inherent conduction part of the vape to more of a convection vape. With logs, you can either size the tube for the VC or seal at the draw tube. I want to use the VC in this manner with the cap in place to keep things clean. That is why I am opting for a custom draw tube solution instead.

@grogazola "scorched" is probably oxidation. This can be removed with proper techniques. I know I can buff them out but that is a lot of work.

Hey :wave:

So if this is the wrong place let me know and I'll move it elsewhere, but I think it's fine as it's about making stem milk from dynavaps specifically. I got to chatting with @Pueblocodynavap (welcome aboard, bud!) over on reddit, because I saw an interesting comment he left on a thread about dynavap stem milk. I'll post that comment below (with his permission) then follow it up with an alternate way of doing it he described to me later on in the thread. This is a different procedure than I've seen detailed elsewhere, and I like it a lot, so thought I'd share it here. I tried this tonight with my Simrell which I've been using exclusively for CBD flower, and the effects are great. Here's his original post:

My method:

  1. Put about 1/4 cup of half and half (or heavy whipping cream) in a coffee mug. Not very much is needed. Just enough to submerge the parts.
  2. Microwave until it's steaming hot. Times vary. Don't scorch it. Just go 30 seconds. Check. Then 5 seconds and check. Good steam is all that is needed, not rolling boil.
  3. Drop the condenser and o rings (removed) and tip into the warm cream.
Note: I have the M. So, if a mouthpiece is involved, drop that in. Of note, the cap and stem do not go in. No need, unless you're stem is sticky. Do not remove the o rings from the tip. Take them off the condenser and drop them in.

4. Stir with a spoon gently. You'll see little dark globs of oils start to form on the surface. That's good. The fat in the cream bonds with the reclaim better than the metal so it will just melt off. No extreme heat or agitation is needed. If you're really gooky use a toothpick to scrape out the underside of the tip (behind the screen). Then swirl the pick in the cream to get the gunk in the cream. If needed pop the screen out. Use clean fingertips to rub the o rings clean. Pick the parts out with your fingers. Lick them clean. Seriously, pop the parts in your mouth. Don't waste that infused cream. Then rinse the parts and your fingers under running water. Pro tip: use the condenser as a straw to drink your tea and be sure to get it all cleaned and sip in style.

5.In a separate coffee mug put boiling water and 2 herbal tea bags. I like Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It's a decaf chai. I find spicy flavors compliment the cannabinoid flavor better than citrus tones or even coffee. 2 tea bags help give a heavy flavor to compliment the tone of the infused cream. I sweeten mine with cannabis infused honey. Regular honey works. But, why would I use regular honey? I suppose sugar at this point would work as well.

The infusion process (stirring the parts in the cream) only takes a few minutes. About the length of time needed for step 5.

6. Pour the tea into the cream. Not the other way around. The oils can stick to the walls of the cup so try to keep the good stuff in the cup and only pour it into your mouth. Give it a little stir before sipping.

7. Don't rinse the cup. Just make your next cup o tea in there to be sure all the good stuff goes in you, not down the drain.

8. Wait a few minutes for everything to air dry. Reassemble. And go. Note: use infused oil to lube the o rings for easier assembly and more fun vaping.

Pro tip: do a dry (no cannabis) heat cycle or two to make sure you're all good and dry before packing a bowl.

Please give me feedback on this. I love improving the process. It's always evolving.

And here is a detailed procedure he described to me directly:

OK. So here we go. Step by step. This the every other day maintenance to avoid build up and never require a deep clean. Ever. If done every 2-3 days. Or more specifically, about 35-40 bowls.

  1. Vape a few bowls nice and deep. Single torch, on the band, full click for the last cycle. I usually ignore heat up click for my last few rounds with a bowl and just go by vapor produced. If the draw was warm and nothing is seen on exhale - that soldier fought well. He's done.
1.5 have your hot ceramic cup with anything hot with a fat content ready to go, steaming hot.

Ideas: peppermint tea with a teaspoon of MCT oil (or just coconut oil), Earl grey tea (2 bags) with a heavy pour of heavy whipping cream (or half and half) plus sugar to taste. Chai bagged tea with honey and half and half. Hot cocoa powder mixed with milk and heavy whipping cream microwaved. Point is: milk's too thin alone and heavy whipping cream too thick alone.

Note on ceramic cup: try to not use a glazed, slick, smooth cup. Get an old - fashioned clay tryp, heavy, rough feeling cup. Go to Goodwill if you don't have one. Don't wash thoroughly after use. Just a good rinse is all that's needed. Let any residue of undissolved cannabinoids stay in the cup after use. If the cup walls are a bit rough I get better results. Also, the oily residue will stick to teabags. Make your tea and remove the bag before making the stem milk. Also, no spoon. The olis will stick to anything and are not water soluble. So, we want them either "dissolved" into the fatty liquid, suspended in the tea (you can literally see little oily, dark globs floating on the top, or to stick to the bottom of the cup for future use. Not to a teabag or a spoon.

2. Suck til click (if you had a heat up click) remove cap, debowl. Point is: I want the whole device nice and warm and empt. Use the digger outer. Get it empty completely. Cap off, safely in my pocket.

3. Torch the mouthpiece. Gently. Not on, or directly at the silicon ring. Imagine it's the cap and you're about a flame down from the crimp angled at 45 degrees. Torch it just like you would the cap. About the amount of time you would to click. I want any residue that's gummed up around the mouthpiece to get warm and gooey.

Note: When I feel anything sticky on my fingers (of the spinning hand) that's when I know that it's sufficiently gunked to "leak" out. I believe this is due to me holding the VapCap cigarette style and the residue slides down with gravity to the mouthpiece while it's hot. I "rest" the warm device in my spinning hand mouthpiece down. I think if one uses a magnet and rests the warm device cap down (for me, that's upside down) I would think any residue would collect under the screen, inhibits airflow and require cleaning much sooner. I don't use magnets. At all. So, this is only my experience. Anyhow, when my mouthpiece is sticky that's my indication that it's time for tea.

4. Pinching with thumb and pointer on the air hole (because BOTH ends are too hot to comfortably hold) dunk the mouthpiece in and jiggle it around a bit. Twofold: cools it for your lips and starts dissolving the residue.

5. Flip it into your mouth and hold the cup in one hand right up close to your mouth. Insert the device with the cooling fins about under. With the other hand hold the device with the airhole completely covered.

6. Don't drink any down. You need the liquid level to remain near the top of the cup so you can submerge as much as possible. Suck it into the straw and blow back into the cup back and forth quickly. Suck a bit into your mouth and use your tongue to clean the mouthpiece and opening. Get it as frothy and violent as possible. Get anything stuck in the condenser or under the screen loosened with agitation. The source of the agitation is your sucking and blowing while quickly shaking the tip in the liquid.

The residue wants to bond with the fat, not the metal of the device. It will come off rather easily. You'll think, "oh, shit! I didn't clean out the vaped bud well enough". Because you're gonna see little dark green flecks that look exactly like finely ground over-vaped and slightly charred bud. It's not bud. You debowled and you did a good job. Don't freak out. That's not nasty burnt shit in your tea. That's ganja. Hash. Sticky icky.

7. Sip a bit through the "straw" . Ok, don't work the device. Go to the sink and run the hot water. Flush the device Thoroughly. Shake it out, blow it out, wipe it on the kitchen towel. Keep the cap off and wait an hour or two for it to air dry. Can't wait? Cap it, torch it dry. It'll sizzle and pop and steam. But, it'll be dry. And ready for battle.

8. You should see those little tiny flecks that looked like charred bud have now formed into bigger oil-slicks. Give the cup a swirl. Not with a spoon. Just give the cup a gentle swirl. Maybe a microwave reheat. The olis can stick to the walls of the the cup or settle to the bottom easily. So, try to keep it in "contact" with the fat and "suspended" in the tea. Then drink down big gulps with the oli slicks on top sliding into your mouth first. It's like trying to get a marshmallow to slide on top of hot cocoa and have it go in your mouth and not stick to the side or bottom of the cup. If your liquid is a light creamy color it's easier to see the oils floating on top as there is more contrast with the dark color. It's hard to see in hot cocoa or tea without cream and just MCT oil.

Suggested playlist: Beatles, The Cure, The Movement... and today's pick: Muddy Waters "Champagne and Reefer"


Enjoy the ride.

I hope someone else finds this as useful as I did :)

Hey, @Slotheus. Thank you for that repost. I appreciate it. Good to "meet" you here as well.

I explained to Sloth on another forum how much I've appreciated the info on this thread. I had no idea that one of the dudes I admired here was a guy I was chatting with elsewhere. Cool.

I'm new at this whole forum / social media thing (old dog). But, my experience with Dynavap - the product, the company, the community - compelled me to go outside my comfort zone and join in online.

I have no Facebook, Instagram, etc. I rarely watch anything on YouTube unrelated to music or edibles. I stumbled upon Dynavap. Bought one in Nov 2019. It's now my only device and daily driver.

My experience was so gratifying I sent a "thank you" email to the company. I received a gift in the mail as a reply. I passed that gift to a friend about mid December. He told me last week that he had no desire to smoke since using his VapCap.

So, in short, this device, company, and community are really a life changer. I say "life" changer because I rely on my VapCap medically and it really has improved my overall quality of life to not only me but my long suffering wife and 2 teenage children.

To everyone involved in bringing me to the proper use of this life changing device: Thank you.

Could you please explain what I'm looking at. I'm rather intrigued.

Keep in mind when explaining that it took me a good, long look to figure out that the book it's sitting on has a picture of something with fur.... 'cause I was like, "vaping, yogurt... and fur?" What kind of forum is this?

I like you, already. :nod: :lol:

1st, @Pueblocodynavap Welcome to the forum! :tup:

2nd, Excellent and well detailed description of making an awesome cup of reclaim... ANYTHING! :rockon: :clap:

A mod will almost assuredly clean up your last post a bit by merging it with the previous one.

No worries. But if you were the last person to comment and it's within 6 hours of you posting then you can simply edit your last post and add whatever else on to it in the future. (Doing this will make you extremely popular with the mods. :rofl:)

Since you asked @stark1 , I'll let him explain the specifics behind the custom piece you were asking about.

Again, nice to meet you and I suspect we'll see some really interesting posts from you! :D

Happy Vaping! :leaf: :wave:

@stark1 cool. I've had lots of fun with nectar collectors, silicon hoses, cheetos, water pipes, and Wednesday afternoons.

@ataxian sweet musical reference. If one achieves Nirvana through music + M, would one become a mobius loop if listening to Nirvana while using an M?

Question for you guys:

I do not own a Ti tip and haven't t ever seen degummed hemp fiber in person. So, please understand this question comes from total ignorance. I think I may have read about this here or somewhere.... It's not my idea. I just want to hear some feedback on the concept.

Could I put a "filter" of degummed hemp fiber between two Ti CCDs in a Ti cap using the bottom two screen grooves and have a half bowl with a screened in and reusable filter?

Will this work? Thoughts?

I saw another one recently, where someone made a IH out of an ECTO1 Ghostbusters car in a similar way. Wist I could have afforded it at the time.

It should work just fine. Others here have talked about doing something similar, particularly @Squiby. I believe that she takes a few strands of hemp fiber, twists them into a little "string" which she spirals into a disk, and places the hemp-fiber disk between the two ccd screens.
