What hold more gas the aomai flint lighter or a zippo insert?


Thats why you become a two Aomai gun slinger, pardner—& a sidekick too, to boot!

They are kinda cute. As a micro-doser, they are GRRRRRr-reat!






i got a rosiuM cap to go with my shellshock today.
i can't upload a picture because i am a luddite but it looks real pretty...

Just be sure to strip that metadata off the photo if taken from your phone before you upload, otherwise people may try to stop by and sesh :lol:. I use an app for this myself (Exif).
Nice tip, dude....!

Personally, I don't care... I'm down in my basement (obviously)... Just walk on through the garage if the door is open, go down the stairs, stay straight and take a right at the menses stained underwear by the washing machine, then straight all the way down at the end on the left.... :wave: :science:

A few more thoughts on the assassin: The metal has a quality feel that makes it a delight to use and handle. I'm getting nice, cloudy rips out of it. The carb is easy to find but takes a bit more finger space to fully cover.

The o'ring indent is less deep than on the shell shock, so it sits out further and feels more secure inside the bong, positioned about 5mm higher in the same adapter. To be fair, though, the assassin was designed for possible WP use and with the SS it's more a hack.

I have so far only used it with the standard condenser pushed about 3mm inside the mouthpiece and, in that postion, it has noticeably more airflow than a SS. That really suits my personal taste, but YMMV. It's a shame that a longer condenser isn't supplied, nor the shortness of a standard condenser mentioned in the retailer's blurb. All in all, though, really glad to have picked one up..and was worth the wait:smug:

For looks, an O-ring in the end looks OK. 💥 ( try not to swallow it! )

(Or just use an XL (given that you have one))

good point didn't think of that! I only have a condenser from a 19M and the screw in one in the SS. But, great, will save up for an XL...

@Hetts , in the meantime, a quick/dirty fix for the Assassin’s open airflow is to take the screw condenser
Out of your SS, and (with a large O-ring) place it in your Assassin, and Walla! 🤗 —you don’t have to wait to save up
For an XL.

Good to have both. 💪




( NB: at this point I am quite confused. Comparing both, the regular DV condenser seems to be a bit longer,
And what confused me is that both restricts the airflow in mine! ) Goes off to get another cuppa

Where. 🤔



Finally got my Tectonic today; leggo with ShellShock, it was fun.

They are truly robust VC compatible stems. 🤗


I have both too but the mouthpiece supplied with the Tektonik is terrible. Why put a second carb hole on the the mouthpiece and why is it NOT airtight? It's like breathing fresh air and ruins the experience. The Shellshock mouthpiece solves the problem but I now have to share it between 2 stems. OG Dynavap stems and bodies are far, far superior imo.

Actually, there is a plus + with the carbed mp: It cools the hot vapor along the length of the condenser (with main port
closed).

If it annoys to have so much fresh air, you can swap out the mp with the innumerable drip tips available in the after market (or, cover the ports with your lips, effectively closing them).Yes, that feature is puzzling.

The thinner fins (+1) seems more elegant, and should dissipate heat a bit more than the thick ones on the SS. A calculus of improvement.

As a suggestion, air port positions with identifying nub(s) would be helpful. Or other visual/tactile indicators.

The problem of paint chips on the SS seemed to have limited the production of Tectonics to nude SS. :cool:

While some may not like the heft, it is part of the attraction of the aftershock. 🤗 IMO

Another stem to add to one’s arsenal of VapCap stems. 🤔

It is interesting that DynaVap is stocking the Tectonic in their inventory. A tonic for the stoned soul standard.

The other issue I had with the Tektonik mouthpiece was that it was too big to form a complete seal with my mouth meaning even more dilution.

“Life’s all about solving those pesky little problems.”

I’ll be glad to give it a “warm” home, or play it forward.

Kidding aside, close the ports, hold stem so ports are vertical,

I have already passed it to friend who prefers the more diluted vapor as she has never smoked so all is well. Love the Shellshock though.

I mean of the Tectonic issues to have, that's airflow in the tip is easy to fix. Love that BBVape not only has a forthcoming accessory pack but also that any 510 drip tip can be used.
