Hey folks, i've read somewhere that the ti tip was a better choice for flowers because:
So as i vape only flowers and doing microdoses, i was thinking about it and have some questions:
- better flavor
- faster heating time
- 3 levels for micro-dosing
- Is there a big difference between a 20M tip and the ti one ?
- Or maybe i must wait a little for a newer ti version ?
- Is there someone who has those 2 ?
- How much you can put on each level of 3 ccd placements ?
I find one whack with a hammer and they are good as new. YMMVForget the Ti CCD. It was toasted the moment I removed it. I spoke of these things a few pages ago. If you want to use the bowl positions, either have a lot of fresh Ti CCD's on hand or settle for the stainless ones. The Ti ones deform and no longer retain a spring fit.

In theory it sounds excellent but reality is probably closer to all the mid sections getting all gummed up and stinky unless it’s maintained oftenI have occasionally contemplated the concept of a telescoping stem. I sure wish they listed the I.D. of this telescoping 304 S.S. drinking straw. Looks pretty cool, and cheap as ... well, as cheap as Chinese "stuff" typically is. I wonder how feasible it would be to make a coupler/adapter to fit the tip onto the straw. How big is this thing --> https://smile.amazon.com/Longzon-Pack-Telescopic-Metal-Straws/dp/B083GK624C?th=1
@stark1 you beat me to it.
Seems a long time ago that this idea came to being @Mono Loco.
I'd worry about any coating on the 'SS' straws. Plain one enroute.
The ID is too small for off the shelf use but it can be modified.
As others have said cleaning is the only issue. A regular wipe with an Iso'd q tip.

better flavor?
-------> slightly different, but "better" is a subjective term. Some users like the flavor better, but others users prefer the S.S. tip's flavor. Some users report no noticeable difference.
faster heating time?
-------> yes, heats faster and cools quicker (but doesn't saturate/retain heat as long)
3 levels for micro-dosing?
-------> Uhm ... in "theory", but setting the CCD into position is an annoying practice in patience as it is sized so precisely, and the retaining grooves seem to vary from DynaVap to DynaVap, that it's not always possible to actually get three viable positions. Using the smallest setting is handy for micro-dosing mostly for the fact that you can see how much is in there, so it's easy to judge.
Is there a big difference between a 20M tip and the ti one ? --> Air-flow/resistance
Or maybe i must wait a little for a newer ti version ? --> who knows ??? (newer is not always better)
How much you can put on each level of 3 ccd placements ?
--> a wee bit, a pinch, and a wee bit + a pinch !
I'm okay with it like this - Removed o-ring, reversed, and a personal choice mouthpiece. I hate metal and glass against my teeth so wood is great, specially your own turn.
Still too damn heavy but it looks good.
And no one else uses my rigs. I can live with my funk. I ain't drawin' on yours, that's for sure
I have both and used them both for a couple of bowls when I got them. Recently got the Ti one and the '20 tip was the first 419 order.
The '20-M is complicated because the mass of the cap changed. This changes the whole dynamic. In my case, it was seriously lacking in fullness of hits. My standard level that is based on '18 and '19 tip performance. It was really hard to get the heat from the cap to the tip for its inherent conduction of heat. Much greater proximity for radiated heat in general. I had trouble combusting the '20 tip. Still not my cup of tea. Runs much hotter with the extra cooling fin mass. I'm back to my '18 as a heavy hitter.
Ti - Impressed on the first bowl. Great airflow with the CCD set at 2/3rd. Forget the Ti CCD. It was toasted the moment I removed it. I spoke of these things a few pages ago. If you want to use the bowl positions, either have a lot of fresh Ti CCD's on hand or settle for the stainless ones. The Ti ones deform and no longer retain a spring fit. Heat coupling in an IH is good. A little lower power as expected but for heat transfer and cap heat provided a really good balance of convection and conduction to the herb. I didn't use the '20 cap. Something wrong with that thang
If you like small controlled draws, '20, if you like finishing off a cap in 3 draws, avoid '20 and pick any other SS or Ti. Avoid the '20 cap. This is my take on the new '20 offering. All the right words but fell flat on me. The Ti tip was a VAS buy to know what the hell I'm talking about, and I like it more than I expected. Both need more
mileage for a more refined review. These are my first and only impressions side by side.
So ... James Bond-ish ... which means COOL! You should work with "Q". Now, howzabout' a meter-long flexible tube/hosing that can be hidden into a belt? Or, maybe instead of a "Smoking Jacket", a Vaping Jacket with a long tube that runs from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff, across the back, such that one can somehow bring one's wrist to one's mouth to take a hit ... and look like a Secret Service guy talking into a mini microphone!
I cant even test my old 18' tip because a friend of mine has combusted it.
When i passed it to him he never vaped it, just combusted for a long time. So its all black with a strong smell, dropped it in ISO for 1 night and wiped it with a cotton. The smell still presentHuh?
Use it for a while and the smell will go away. It is metal, it's not going to absorb smell. You just haven't adequately cleaned it.
haha, the real story behind the scene is that i was waiting for my Crafty after sending it to RMA so i purchased the 18M just for 2 weeks. I've got a double torch with it and it never worked well and i didn't knew how to properly use the thing so i passed it to my homie so his dad can smoke it like a pipe without putting tobacco. (he had several heart attacks)... and he's still your friend? OK, I guess love is unconditional!
When you use the word "cap" what are you referring to?
cap = vapcap
cap = cap, the part that fit over the tip?
Some might take your wording wrong......
