I'm curious if George has a new condenser out for the Ti body + wood MP mash ups, or if it's just a standard condenser?
If you want to use a Ti body with a wood mp, the regular condenser is the one to use.
Bodies refer to the outer mid section of the Vapcap. They are the shortest midsection available, measuring up at 45mm. The longer midsections are called stems and are 62mm in length.
The condenser connects to the tip and runs through the body or stem and mp. It is what ties the Vapcap all together and provides a dedicated air stream for your vapour.
A standard condenser fits a 62mm configuration;
- a body (45mm) and mp (17mm) configuration
or
- a stem (62mm)
If you add a mp (17mm) to a stem (62mm) you need the XL Condenser.
I saw that the S comes with a specifically mentioned XL condenser kit, but I guess that just extends the existing one and fits on the spinning mouthpiece?
The site is honestly a bit confusing for me. But if the original comes with all I need, and is upgradeable, I'll get that for now and explore upgrades/replacements later
The Original Vapcap is a stand alone vaporizer and comes with everything you need.
The Vapcap S expands the original Vapcap configuration and allows you to use it in two different ways. You get the original Vapcap which has the glass condenser and rubber mouthpiece. Plus you get a stainless steel condenser with wood mp.
I didn't consider the ease of spinning while heating though,
To heat any Vapcap model you apply heat to the stainless steel cap with a lighter or jet lighter or candle etc. while rotating the Vapcap between your thumb and fingers. You can practice this twirling movement with a pen.
Using a 2, 3 or 4 jet lighter makes this easier because the additional jets cover more of the cap area. If you use a single flame or jet lighter, you also need to move the flame up and down the cap while spinning the VC in your other hand. Easier done than described.
That is super awesome!!! Did you do this to your Ti tip yourself??? Very pretty!
Any links for a good torch????
Do the torches you pick have the ability to stand up alone, and lock the flame on....
You won't need to lock the flame on. It just does not take that long to heat the cap. A four jet lighter takes maybe 3 seconds, a single jet 5, and a bic lighter a few seconds longer.
The 4 jet lighter sold on the Dynavap website is great and does the job admirably. I use it the most.
It pays to have backup lighters, in case one craps out or you loose it or run out of propane. I keep lots of lighters around because I heat my home with wood in the winter. I choose lighters based on, and in this order; performance, how it feels in my hand and aesthetics. Lighters are cheap and some, of the same brand, work better than others. It's a crap shoot really. Here are some of my favourites.
I have had really good luck with the Honest brand.

This one comes with a flared base so it can stand up or the stand can be removed. I use mine without the base. Fits nicely in your hand and I think suitable for larger hands.

Another Honest brand lighter. I like this one because it fits nicely and is very heavy for its size. Maybe not great for a pocket, but it feels great to use. It think it is really pretty and compliments the Vapcap. It is slightly shorter than a Vapcap.
