Maybe your IHs heat too fast/aggressively? It sounds a little like when your torch is too high and you roast a Ti tip too fast. Do you get similar results when you use a torch? If so it still could possibly be your heater AND your technique, but if not it's more likely a too-fast/aggressive IH, possibly in combo with a fine, tight pack?
DV "skills" can apply to IH as well. You need to develop your technique to match your desired results. I can't speak about the Apollo, but I own an Orion v2. I was able to dial it in so I get exactly the results I like. Dark brown ABV after 4 draws on half-pack bowls (screen in half height position).
This may seem counterintuitive, but I'd suggest getting an SS M tip: it's more forgiving than any of the Ti bowls and easier to learn with. I think I'd also suggest putting whichever IH you find more challenging aside for a minute and concentrate on learning the quirks of your DV tips and your easier heater with less complications. Having one set of heating conditions for now may make it easier to get the flavor and effects you're after.
Some good advice seems to have been given to your question. It’s all a game of variables. Exploring all of them till you find a combination that works for you is where you will find success. Every cap tip combo is slightly different even when users are comparing the same cap tip combo they will get different results because some variable is different. Like different flame lengths or different IH heating profiles. Results vary from IH to IH as well. Sometimes my variables lead me down a road where the click doesn’t mean shit anymore.

For starters.........
Not suggesting it's an improvement, but it does make life easier for some folk. And yes, adults use training wheels.
Lmk if you can't get one. I bought 2.
Do you have a link for those beautiful stems by any chance. Thanks.Anybody ever purchase a stem from Ladat in Vietnam? They have alway looked beautifully crafted and feel I might need to add one to the collection.
Edit: If training wheels were an improvement to the intended use of a bicycle wouldn’t we all be using them in adulthood too? Sure they could work for me at this point in my life but I would find them limiting the potential of my bike.

Will definitely try this. Theory sounds good with super heating the copper at the end. And as always.... Great vid.@ezpz you should try the method I've settled on for heating and see if you get a bigger hit.
torch on low, heating with the tip of the flame till you get the shinny circle the size of the S, then move the torch closer to make the circle 1 1/2-2 times bigger than the S and wait for the clicks. gives me one hit extraction.
They do have induction heaters, as well.

I’m speaking to them through DM on Instagram. There isn’t much on their site.
I think you're right. I've been using my powerful little pear-shaped torch and making a smaller circle. Heats up a little slower for a more complete roast.
Dude you got a rare part!My parcel from Dynavap with the replacement tip and cap came today. My AzuriuM tip was flaking its metallic coating off. I asked for a SS cap and tip, but they sent a single AzuriuM cap first last week. Forgot the tip lol so, then the CS woman named Christine made a new order but it was for a AzuriuM tip so I very quickly tried to get a hold of her and she cancelled that order and set me up with another. She sent a SS tip and cap this time (exactly what was needed. I have asthma so the idea of metallic flakes coming off my DV and being inhaled was worrying) as well as 2 different sticker packs and 2 C-Vaps. One happened to have a low temp cap on it. Neither of the caps are captive though so maybe one is one of the old caps every lusts after? Doubt it though cuz they woulda used them with the M's they brought back out recently. One can dream though lol
Anyways, I included some pics in case everyone was curious. Gunna have some fun today!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Cheers!
Yes! Thats exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for confirming.
Aww man see this is why you should all be asking for c-vaps!Yes! Thats exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for confirming.
It’s true, this is the rules
Honestly, most people take the good parts and then sell the rest as frankenvapsWell, i got 2 so how about i keep the good one, gift the lesser one to my mother in law. Will that appease the DV gods? Lol i still love my current DV and I'm broke as a joke atm lol
