Decisions decisions lol ...I think this video will give you an idea of how it does through water.

I get the allure of getting one big hit. I hear people talk about after the click. I think the real beauty of the dynavap is right before the click. Once you get the timing down and go 2-3 seconds before the click you get straight terpenes. I'm sure with an armored cap and b tip I could get a one cycle extraction.... But it won't be the most flavorful.
I feel like the more I read about the armored cap the more I’m leaning towards the captive cap lol. I don’t want to be torching for triple the amount of time than I would on the B. I hear some people have to keep heating the armored cap for 20+ seconds after it clicks? That sounds like over a minute of torching lol

If you're going to get an induction heater I say go with a normal or captive cap. If you're planning on using a torch go for an armored cap.

The stories I hear about people heating 20 seconds after the click is mostly with the induction heaters. The ac works really good with torches.

Cool yeah I think the torch is the move for me. I like how I can put it on a small rig and not have to spin it. Is the B tip fine for the AC ya think or should I go with a diff tip? (Strictly water pipe usage)

Go for the Helix for airflow or the M+ for big heat capacity, hit, etc. Both are big enough that the one-hit extraction will be more challenging, but you could always set either to half.

It depends..do you want a half pack bowl, full bowl, or the option of both. The m tip has a half pack option. You want full extraction from 1-2 hits. So stick with stainless steel. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole look into which tip is the heaviest. There was a video where the weighed all the tips. The heaviest is the one you want.

As for the armored cap...it does have more mass than a normal cap. Its not a big difference from a normal cap but a big enough difference for what you're looking for..

Update on Dovetail Woodwork order:
After about another month of waiting it is here!
It was a long wait in the dark but order was fulfilled.

I really like that my new Vong sleeve fits more snug than the regular Ti sleeve it came with so no need to adjust the airport after every heating. It’s also lighter than the metal sleeve (all resin).
I’m not overly thrilled with how it came out aesthetically but that could be down to my selection?

Firstly, thanks to you guys and forum i found dynavap!
I bought B combo with sling stash about a month ago and heavy smoker for 20 years turned to no combustion in like 2 days.
IT.IS.SOMETHING!
Almost collected dream setup – silicone stem, B tip, captive cap and single flame torch: go almost below the cap until 2 clicks –– one hit extraction and clouds!!!
And my YLL IH on its way.

Mine finally came too! Not a peep in communications, it was like Santa stopped!

Mine are really nicely done though the wooden sleeves are not quite as perfectly fitted as the og sleeve, but wood breathes. The Anvil one is gorgeous! The o-ring is too thick though so it doesn't fit into a 14mm joint, it sits on top. It works fine so I'm not pressed, maybe I'll replace it if it bothers me.

Bottom line, none of it's perfect but it's all really nice. No communications whatsoever, so if you decide to go with Dovetail, just forget about your order until it comes. It'll come eventually and it'll be pretty nice.

🏕️Heya campers, anyone happen to have tried VC with the PillBottle Stones Stove?

After “charging” the stone (alcohol pre-soak), it can be lit with a match and simply blown out.

I’m looking at ultralight stoves and could see using this to heat up a meal or water for tea followed by a session coinciding with hot but not flaming stones. Vape after or before blowing out? Timing?:science:

I could just go with an ultralight canister gas stove and butane torch the VC. So, that would be fuel canisters vs plastic bottle of ISO and matches. The alcohol is less safe than canisters, but charged stones are safest.

I’ve never torched and prefer this stone(d) idea (quiet, residual heat). This could be a satisfying ritual that has me thinking of the Okin.

OTOH alcohol stove heating is less efficient than gas jet stove so one does have to carry and handle (re-charge the stones) a bottle of ISO often. Or just the gas stove and use it’s jets for heating the vapcap? :hmm:

I’m a minimalist and have been VC + IH for years as my DD and sole vape.

I haven't tried heating with a yellow flame but I think you'd need the screen etc to make sure you're delivering enough heat. Seems like it'd be subject to conditions, and just when you want it most is when it'll be most problematic. If you're talking indoors, people seem to love the yellow-flame ritual.

Hmm ok. What about direct contact of cap to stone?

Wishing it was a donut instead for easier handling and for VC insertion.

Not sure about that, tbh.
Boo.
Hah! you could mfr a small lantern for it with the ring stones inside and it'll be a manual 'IH'! Bring everything full circle! ; )
That sounds great!!

Except the bit about me manufacturing. :ugh:
So stone stove is out. Canister fuel stove instead for food.

Probably going with Pipes IH and either papers or stove+VC backup?

I wonder if I could just drill a hole in one or two? Will it break? Will it dissolve?

Apparently it’s a lightweight concrete with vermiculite in particular being used as the lightweight and absorbent material

Honestly i'm not sure that you could make it work or that it would be worth it if you could. But I think just using it like a big candle/lamp flame should work. I always assumed that even with a yellow flame you'd try to keep the discs out of the flame, but thinking about it now, maybe that's not the case? If not, those pills should work more or less the same, but probably with a lot more heat overall.

Ok thanks, was nearly contemplating a DIY project:mental:

Do you have any experience or thoughts stone heating vs gas jets?

I think it's good to have a healthy torch technique, it comes in handy and it's got its own joys. I prefer it slightly to my heaters. Outside you may need an additional jet or two, but otherwise one's best. With the stones I think it would essentially be like a big bic lighter or candle, which would be more challenging outside because of the relative strengths of the flames and levels of heat. The yellow flame would blow around more, and with less heat produced overall lower seasonal temps would affect your process, I would think.

My impression is that people who like using the yellow flame like it for the ritual. I picture it as an evening at the table with your lamp, DV and book.

Ok clarified thanks. Though I was talking about jet flame from the gas stove. But it sounds like a multi jet lighter with decent capacity is the way to go outdoors.

Going the more conventional route then with gas stove and lighter - but not all the way to combustion. :spliff:

What’s the best tip / cap combo for the BB6? I see that the BB’s now come stock with the M+ tip which seems like an upgrade to the order tip

That should be great. I like the SS tips for water, and that one makes big clouds. I've been using the Helix to go through water lately because of the open airflow. The AC and FMJ are great for water, too, as is the 9-fin, another heavy-hitting tip.
