So, with "CoronaStock" '20 going on, seems I have a bit more time to post some Dyna-Porn! :D

The 3 stems Below are a WINNING trio, for sure!

IMG-20200317-083614.jpg

On the left is the 2mmXL Glass stem with carb, in its intended setup, sporting an xl condenser with Ti spinning mp, and I prefer to use a SS Tip in this setup. (Shadow M tip shown)

On the right, is that same stem, but with a little switch up that makes this setup truly unique and INCREDIBLY functional and efficient!

Sporting a Ti tip and....
a Ti Nectar Collector tip, spun around and used as a mp, AND partial mini condenser!

@RogueGuy and I came up with this great idea while beta testing the 2mmXL.

This particular setup HAD been my ONLY daily driver, until...

Our centerpiece in today's post...

The Simrell Collection Vortex!

On loan to me from ANOTHER REALLY generous
benefactor, :love: :bowdown:
I figured I'd be duly impressed and that would be that. :rofl:

I understand and agree with why Troy and so many others have been blown away! :nod:

The weight and balance of the stem are extraordinary! The mp end is very comfortable and just feels NATURAL while hitting THIS one. :tup:

The vapor really IS as cool and smooth as everyone says! :nod:

Also VERY easy to take apart and clean. :clap:

I had her taken apart, Jim Beamed off the reclaim for some awesome coffee, washed, rinsed, dried, and had her back together and reloaded in about 5 minutes. :rockon:

I'll DEFINITELY be getting my OWN, in a coupla weeks when the old tax refund gets in!

Those AWESOME Glass stems, and Nectar tip, courtesy of @RogueGuy, who ALSO has a bunch of other BADASS "Thick Ass Glass" stems, and even MORE great dab tools, many of which are perfect for maintaining you're vapcap!

Hit him up for info on those!

And to my benefactor...
You're truly a 1 in a million!

You have my eternal gratitude for giving me an opportunity to discover my NEXT Daily Driver! :rockon: :bowdown: :clap:

Titanium, and Thick Ass Glass... 2 GREAT options for...

Happy Vaping! :leaf: :cheers:

What a Community!

Is there a noticeable difference in “coolness” with/without the “intercooler”, Bud?

Tried it with a glass stem, nothing noticeable. Perhaps if the IC was a little wider. :sherlock:

Yeah, it has to fit snuggly in the airpath. Definitely noticeable difference with and without. Not galactic, but noticeable enough that I'm glad Austyn added it to the current Vortex! :tup:

I DO wish the intercooler fit nicely in OTHER stems,too.

It slides into the built in condenser in the vortex, so to get its benefits, it would have to go into same size condenser or stem.

The entire Vortex is so awesome, though, that popping the intercooler in any other stem is just for academic curiosity at this point. :nod:

We seem to have started an AWESOME trend....

Really cool benefactors, loaning out their Vortexes so we can see for ourselves if The Vortex is the right fit or not.

It ain't cheap, but after trying one out for a bit, MINE will be money WISELY spent! :clap:

Gooooo Benefactors! :bowdown:

Happy Vaping! :leaf: :spliff:

Stems, we love 'em. Lots of talk about cooling stems, cool vapor etc. I though it may be interesting to look at the potential heat sinking ability of common stem materials. Below is a list of the approximate thermal conductivity of some potential and common stem materials. The higher the number (k) the better the heat transfer.

< 1 Wood low and varies with species, gran direction moisture content etc.
1.05 Glass
1.14 Borosilicate Glass
14 Stainless Steel
20 Titanium
76 Platinum
240 Aluminum
420 Silver

I'd say it's reasonably certain that glass and wood are poor choices for a cooling stem. eeek you say but but beads and nipples! Okay, for glass to just match SS it performance must be improved by 14 times! Seems pretty unlikely, I'd take that bet. 14x just to match, good luck.

I realize this is a simplistic view but I think is still speaks volumes.

Cheers.

It's subjective because higher conductivity also means it will heat up faster though, and a hot cooling unit doesn't cool well.

:science:

Anyone here have one of these bad boys?
Click to expand...

I want that bad!!! Worth every penny but it is a lot of pennies!

The Bolle (bubble) and Anelli (rings) stems are back! I have 2 sizes of each, short and long. If we dont all perish in the next few weeks, I will have heady glass stems like the rainbow one, in different colors and styles next month.

Makes me heady, just looking at them.

Could use one of each, of the long tall Sallys, please (the ones pictured, XL). :tup:

Thought saw them posted on Instagram as well.

Next few weeks? —If am still vertical. :D

Seems everyone is “social distancing”, not a friendly person to be seen here in
the sticks. :wave: eerie:o

Bonjour dynavapers team!

I take advantage of the time to improve my knowledge of Dynavap! I'm testing a little more, and so I wanted you to submit two to three questions. I have not read all the pages of the dynavap sect thread but I have read quite a bit, as well as the "best of" thread.

(I had and used an M2018 a few months before my lighter dropped, and I am selling to buy another vape.
Today I have a glass stem with pins and a ti tip. I also invested in an induction heater from Pipes. It's going to be awesome!)

So my first question is about how you make your hemp fiber filters. After reading something here about it, I bought some fiber and tested it. But the flavor was much smoother, with less character. I wanted to know if any of you could post a photo from one of your own filters.

My other question concerns the use of an induction heater with a tip ti.
When I use a single flame lighter, I get 3 shots (I have to pay attention to the 3rd shot to avoid combustion), I am closer to the 2 shots with the induction heater. The flavor is sweeter, the high too. If I use a tip ss, I will have 3 strokes again more easily?

would someone be able to give the differences between hints and tips when using with a Portside Mini?

it's been a short time, so I still have to experiment and learn ...

I am eyeing an omni xl (when the finances will be better) but maybe I really need a tip ss ... rather than a tip ti ...

more than happy with my Dynavap experience anyway! and happy to join the sect!

Thank you in advance for your answers !!!

As I've said before if I'm paying up to $100/g for concentrates I want them in me first time around rather than stuck to beads, dimples or a twisted tape turbulator only to be dissolved off in some Iso.

I agree, I am not advocating for high performance cooling stems of any sort. My opinion is that if one wants cooler vapor it's best to use less heat. In that case the low temp cap may be helpful for some.

I am totally switched over to carbless stems. The amount of reclaim in them is just a fraction of what accumulates in Dynavap stems. :tup:

If it heats up with the same air-stream, then it must be taking the heat from the air-stream. The heat in the air-stream is my vape!
Click to expand...

Absolutely. I expect a direct relationship between the temperature differential of the vapor at each end of the stem and the amount of product that condenses as reclaim on the stem. The heat keeps the dew point higher and that allows the airstream to transport more goodness.

Sorry it is not subjective it is physics.
Yes it heats faster and it cools faster too.
SS is about 14x faster, Ti about 20x faster than glass to respond to any temperature difference plus or minus. The inside of the stems is heating faster and the outside is shedding heat to the atmosphere faster.

You are correct that the k value of materials changes with temperature. That is why I said approximate k in my initial post. However that affect is present in all materials. Within the narrow range we vape it is not likely to be a significant factor.

------
Glass stems have many great properties.
Science tells us cooling is not one of them.
Is this contrary to commonly beliefs? I think so.

A great strength of vapcaps is the flexibility to customize. My hope is that a better understanding of material properties will assist people to dial in their desired performance with less investment (time and cash).
