So. I have never even looked at this thread before because, well, i had no interest in the dynavap.
Well, my uncle gave me an M to try. Haven’t tried it yet (probably tonight ), but i have been doing some research.
If i were to “like” the M, i would be purchasing my own. I kinda like the idea of the omni with the changeable airflow and the titanium single point heating. But i am not too familiar with this device so am looking for some pointer/advice…..or should i just “create your own” dynavap.
I am just curious if there is any reason why i should not invest in the omni IF i like the M.
Also i am curious if everyone is using just a plain torch for heat or if most people are using a heating device like the ispire or ufo. I partake in a weekly cigar or 2, so i have a myriad of different 1-4 flame torches with a couple tabletop torches as well, so torch heat won’t be a problem.
Cheers
I just gave my niece an M and she took right to it, got it down and ended up good and stoned with her first bowl, heated with a torch.
I love the Omni and recommend it highly. The adjustable airflow, extra length for cooling and handling, the flavorful tip, the weight/feel. I think the one advantage the M has besides price is that the SS is more forgiving, so it requires less technique and can be a tad more flexible, I feel. However, most people prefer the Ti tips for their faster heating and cooling, and usually better flavor. My only caveat is that if you like going through water, look at the Vong--it's similarly awesome at what it does.
If you create your own, just be sure to have a backup stem if your first choice is glass.
I have few different IHs and they are great for consistency and ease, but I much prefer a single flame torch. Once you have it down--and it's really not hard--you will have much more control over the type of hit you want, and you'll feel more connected to your device. I use the torch maybe 70% of the time, and mostly use a heater outside if it's windy, or inside to protect the color on a cap.
Hope you enjoy it, I find them really fun and useful.
