Edit: and hence the need for some electric heating... I am sure George will come with an elegant solution at some point.
The wind did made it a little challenging. I was able to minimize it by heating it close to the wall that separates the decks between cabins. It took a few seconds longer than normal, but it still worked out ok as we all got very baked.How did you do with the wind Stu?

Or you could copy @phattpiggie, and make yourself a lighter sheath, definitely works in the wind, and aids in the spinning process
Yeah, wind is one of the very few limitations of the VC IMO, and although I've yet to try it, PP's solution looks like a winner for sure.
And if you are unable to make your own @natural farmer , maybe if you offer to buy one he might oblige?

Hi guys,
I just wanted to give a little update after reporting that I struggled somehow with my Ti Woody.
I am lucky that I've had no more combustion happening since then and I am able to clear a cap within 3 heating cycles - when I inhale natively / dry.
I've read several pages back on this thread and I would say I know basically all I need to know when it comes to heating techniques or inhaling techniques.
But, still , I am really struggling and I hope maybe got some ideas for me, here?
The ABV comes out nice evenly brown, but I simply feel that I could get out of this vape WAY more.
I tried out how the Woody would perform with my water pipe so I loaded a small amount, but here also: I get vapor, yes, but I am miles away from milking my bubbler, like (for example) my Evo or the GH does.
I saw several videos of vapcaps milking bubblers - or when used natively: vapor-production like if the person was smoking on an e-cigarette with liquid.
Don't get me wrong please:
I really like this little thing. I already LOVE the company - i got a private message answering one of my questions concerning cleaning - how great CS is that?
And i would love to upgrade my Woody to maybe a Woody S or even buy an omnivap .. BUT as long as I am struggling that much I am on the fence a little now.
Could anyone chime in and help me out here ?
What are possible reasons that I am NOT getting thick enough vapor production?
I am using a single flame torch (the Vapman original torch) , I tried several grind consistencies. And right now I am having some nice Pineapple Kush buds. They have been harvested not that long ago and will get better with some time curing that's for sure, but the Evo for example gives me huge clouds with this herb, so I can except the herb being the reason for this weak vapor production. So therefore it must be my heating technique I guess but no matter how I try I don't get the bubbler milking. And therefore it is unfortunately not satisfying for me at the moment. Also dry- as i said, there is vapor, yes. But the hits feel light and I don't get that much of an effect out of it
With Carb hole fully closed and draw as slowly as you possibly can then you should be able to get a really throaty hit with lots of clouds. Then it's a case of feather the Carb to create a cooler hit. The other option I have tried is draw it into mouth then inhale - like a cigarette or joint, then you can take 4 of 5 small gentle pulls in the same lung full.
The slower you pull, the hotter and more concentrated the hit. The air has more time to be heated and the then the herbs have hotter air flowing over them. It's the opposite from smoking. Drawing harder just dilutes the vapor with more air that is heated less.
Spot on! With single jet, heating at A level gives nice even extractions with no charring!
That was already in my mind buddy, if I fail to make one! I want to experiment with more sturdy spirals than what @paytonpenn has shown us. If I remember correctly though he has made progress with newer builts but hasn't posted pics or videos yet. I wish he does and also give a tutorial of what he used as well as the cost to built one.
My builds have been taken down and I haven't used the Cap in a while. Whenever I buy more wire I'll post the updated build. My new RDA was the Sapor. I was using I believe 22gauge Kanthal A1. Its pretty much same design its just in the new RDA it can be centered without my worrying about it falling/limping like in the video.
RDA is where the money is at, it might cost you 30-40 dollars for a full build (RDA+Wire+Battery).
If I choose "Vong stem" from the parts category of the shop - will I be able to use the standard SS condenser from my Ti Woody for that? I could directly plug it like this in the 14 mm opening of a bubbler without any mouthpieces (wood / rubber), is that correct?
Thanks to all of you so much for giving so many great tips . You are such an incredible nice community!
Unfortunately, unlike @Aezhenn , I have still failed to the point I recognized that the ceramic screen in my Ti Woody is cracked. Of course, I don't know if this affects the performance of my unit and I keep failing with my Woody because of that. At least I end up with a lot of particles in my mouth after I draw.
I completely don't know how this happened, too.
So I decided to put the Woody away for some time now. It's too frustrating at the moment.
So basically I have 2 options now:
1. Leave it packed away and probably never use it again
2. Order spare screens and some new stuff from Dynavap and try again with fresh parts?
I decided to go for number 2
I will wait for the spare screen to arrive and then give everything a fresh new try . I'm even thinking about adding a Vong to my order to being able practicing bubbler-rips with the vapcap.

How long does shipping to Europe usually takes? Maybe someone can share their experience here? Thanks
@DDave :
I am very interested to know more about your method mentioned above about micro dosing in 1 rip.
Could you maybe please elaborate some more on your technique here? In particular:
Do you aim for high temperature when doing one hits in the vapcap? And do you "mouth draw " or do you draw directly to your lungs? What about the carb hole? Is it possible to combust when you keep the carb hole closed completely and inhale slowly even if you stopped heating at the click?
Either I get too thin of vapor or I combust.
Tell George/Matt that what you need is an OG Ti CCD (screen) to replace your ceramic. Use the same spring clip (C clip) to hold it in place. I don't get much particles (if any) and it doesn't break. I know George is working on a Ti CCD for Ti tips, but in the mean time, this works.
Alternatively, you could put one of these in it also...I have done this also and it worked just fine:

Best of luck.
If I mouth draw like described I really get dense warm vapor, true. But after I exhale, even the second draw isn't that warm/dense, again. I feel like I am pausing (when exhaling) vapor production stops or diminishes at least
Oh, and I just found this:
Do you heat there all the time for small loads till the click or how long roughly before moving up the cap? Like you, I am having a single flame torch!
My inner glass tube broke, I have broken like 4 glass bodies and I'm just tiring of seeing it broken.Is it the Sapor V2 or the Sapor V1? 25mm or standard? Does the VC rest between the posts?
Also, what king of box mod does it need? I have no idea about e-cigs...
And why don't you play with your VC anymore mister? Too much tolerance has you playing with big toys now?
Hello. Im looking to order a Vapcap this week, it will be my 1st one. Do you guys recommend starting with the OG or going straight for the Ti woody? Seems like everyone loves this thing and ends up with a couple of them anyways lol. I noticed on PIU they have the OG and a Vapcap II with 2 carb holes, is on of these recommend over the other? TIA!

!
All joking aside, that might be a viable option. If you can find someone near to you that has a vapcap you could send your one to them so they can test drive it for you .Or option 3
Send it to me and i will figure out how to use it in time. No charge of course.
@Nevil The two holed version is not available i think.

the OG Vapcap is the entry level Vapcap. It has the glass tip/body, a glass condenser and a fat mouthpiece. It is fragile, the nature of glass, but it is only $35 and you can replace the body, or condenser if you drop it or otherwise break it.
I no longer view it as entry level, I just view it as a VapCap whose chamber material I seem to be able to best work with.
