Stay on topic people 
This is what I do, without fail, every single time I combust. And I always combust under the exact same circumstances which is reheating before the click but not on purpose.
Usually, just as I think "Hhmm? It should have clicked by now" I see a little smoke start to come out the bottom of the cap, I think "Oh Crap!" and without thinking, pull the cap off with my bare fingers, cauterizing some skin. Then of course I fling the cap somewhere like my messy table or the garage floor cuz it hurts.
After all that I blow the bowl out onto the floor and curse my burned fingers.
The real problem with this kind of combustion is that, while not sucking any smoke into the stem and condenser, the extreme heat makes any resin liquify and run down into it making a sticky mess and wasting your reclaim.
Then I spend the next 20 minutes looking for the cap.

Combustion is a thing of the past with an IH (respect the cl!!cks), for the most part;
It’s always neat to have a magnet-puller handy to accommodate a (WAAa-ay hawt) ‘Cap. Just in case.
Fuck Combustion.
I find the RWW tool-prop with: [= magnet on each end magnet =] useful. Thank you.

LOVIN the open IH setup. Looks really Hawt! (No pun?)
Happy Vaping!

I’m intrigued by the turbo twist glass stem, but don’t have an IH. Anyone successfully using it with a torch? It’s hard to gauge whether spinning it is practical

How does everyone like the glass stems vs the metal stems? I didn’t really enjoy the airflow of my steel 18M...
Thinking of going glass without condenser. What’s the experience like without condenser?
Thinking of going glass stem + Ti tip + cap? And induction heater

Well, it's kinda awkward to work with, but it works pretty well.OK, so I picked up some crumble (apparently) which I will test out tonight. Do I just warm up the Dynacoil and drop a little on it and fire away? Will it melt on the coil so it won't dribble into the cap?
Newbie with concentrates if you haven't discerned...
And the awkwardness of it was the crumble, not the dynacoil. The dynacoil worked pretty much as expected. I suspect other concentrate types would be easier to work with and better suited to the coil. The menu just said WAX so I didn't really know what I was getting.Cookiesaurus

That's good to hear. I think down the road, I'll hit up Simrell for a custom Ti VC+stem, then get a dynacoil and just use that with my M. Although I've heard varying opinions on which metal to use with the coil...

Many prefer glass because of the flavor. But I can't honestly taste any difference when using my glass stem w/ no condenser versus my titanium Omni stem w/condenser. The Ti is just as odorless and flavorless as the glass.
Imo, the best benefit of glass stems is the ability to add cooling nipples which are really effective at upgrading the vapor quality.
My glass Charlie stem doesn't get used that much because 1) it gets really fucking hot with torch use and the heat is too big a PITA, (summer use here is out of the fucking question) and 2) I'm not a fan of draws on a carbless stem. Many people love and prefer carbless though.
I would strongly consider a stem with nipples and a carb, if someone makes one. (Anyone?)

I know glass Charlie does glass stem with nipples and carb hole. Vgoodiez has some

I don't really get along with either. I like wooden stems including the air path. I like long stems because they double as cooling stems. I like stems to be lightweight so I don't need to hold the stem to my lips. ...which is also the reason I don't like a normally open carb. Don't get me wrong, I like the ability to clear the stem and my mouth but a carb in general is not convenient for me. Obviously I find condensers over rated.How does everyone like the glass stems vs the metal stems? I didn’t really enjoy the airflow of my steel 18M...

Personally - Don't like the feel of glass on my lips. Definitely don't like metal on my lips. If I liked Titanium, and I had money to burn, I might consider a Simrell Vortex. Made a similar looking wooden stem just today.

I like both the feel, and look of glass stems, as well as the pure taste thru them.
Glass however will eventually break (ask Ataxian), and has nuance in variance.
While happy and excited when I got a spiked GC glass stem from the good people at Vgoodiez (instead of having it mailed from Great Britain, across the pond), I was a bit apprehensive because the glass seemed a bit thin. And fragile.
“Click!!!” !??
—I was a bit off the rest of the day, because as I tried to ease a ‘Cap
On, there was a SNaP! (possibly a click).
My new thin walled GC-spiked-stem was toast.
Pisser. Bugger. 
MOTTO: Get thick ass glass.
(My OG glass stems from RWW are still kick/ass/robust! Such heft.)

But you do like the feel of wood on your lips.

Before you even used it once, that's tragic.
The glass on the last Dynavap live looked pretty stout.

Oh @Planck - not touchin' that 
Crap, just did. But of course you are right. All glass feels like glass - unless you use the ground taper native; metals give off a 'scent' with bio-matter - the bio matter is what gives off the scent that we smell as metal... Titanium being the 'warmest' of the available bunch and the least bio-scent (bio-compatible). Now wood brings in texture. Wood brings in finish. Now you have a whole new world to explore if it is anything but a high polish and/or a coating. Anything with a course grain will have a detectable texture. This is another reason I choose wood - I've found what I want to put in my mouth when it comes to DynaVap VapCap stems. I found what I liked as a stem material within days of starting to vape by shear coincidence. Everything else will be a compromise for me. But I still promote wooden stems. Many are simply pieces of natures art.

Hay, Tom. If you make the tip end hexagonal, you will not only give it haute Class, it will be an anti-rolling
“mechanism”? Jest sayin’.
No matter how aesthetic wood seems, eventually,
you will have leached wood vapor in you lungs.
Especially
With H2O.
I wood not
YMMV
PS don’t you sleep?

You can't go wrong with a glass stem imo. Thick joint like hits and no faffing about trying to find the carb hole!How does everyone like the glass stems vs the metal stems? I didn’t really enjoy the airflow of my steel 18M...

If you have the ability to discern taste well.....then glass is the only answer! Especially if you go through a water rig. Give the Dynavap BB9 stem and low temp cap a try....it rocks and is my 1# setup choice to use with a Ti tip.
I am jealous of those that can not tell the diff....because if I were like that...I could take direct draws off my vapes with no water use. But there are people like me that have the ability to taste the differences....and it is a big difference for me from glass to metals or wood.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.

@cybrguy I just picked up some crumbly sugar wax the other day and tried it with the dynacoil yesterday. It is a bit of a pain because of the non-sticky texture of the crumble. I put a few small pieces on top of the coil and then hit it briefly with a torch to melt it in, otherwise some of it would get on the inside of the cap. Unfortunately, due to youtube being jackass, sneaky pete's excellent video on dynacoil use is down, but Troy has a good one.
SP illustrated that even with heavy use, no melted conc drips down into the condenser.
To be honest with my usage (YMMV), I have found the dynacoil underwhelming. I followed @phattpiggie's technique of wrapping conc in hemp fiber or organic cotton and just dropping that into an empty tip. This is the technique I've used with other vapes and it works flawlessly. You can also switch between herb and conc more easily, although putting conc in a vc that has recently used flower will mask the flavor with roasted flower taste. As with my other vapes, after 1-2 hits I take a dab tool and smear the cotton around to spread out the melted conc. The next hits are then massive.
I pulled my dynacoil out for the third or fouth time, only to put it away again.
