Dynavap VapCap

[Chose]

Morning all. I have a problem with my new OmniVap. The theory around the adjustable mouthpiece (as I understand it) is that by rotating it anti-clockwise the condenser is pushed further up the body towards the tip but mine doesnt seem to be firmly gripped inside the body. The result is that when I twist the mouthpiece the whole condenser unit rotates but doesn't move inwards. Worse, if I twist anti-clockwise and pull gently I am actually pulling the condenser out and further away from the tip. Does that make sense? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Yes mine does this
Just grip it with fingers one the joint to secure mp and body and it will adjust fine
I also wasn't expecting any movement when tuning my setting in
Also visually watch the condenser move this will help you dial in your favourite sett up
You will know where your at by just looking
Hope this makes sence and helps

Hello there

I just recently learned about the DynaVap site and I'm very interested in ordering one. But wow there are so many options to choose from and at various pricing. I don't care about customization, how it looks, or what type of material each piece is made of. I just wanna know which option do I choose to get the biggest coulds?

I was leaning towards the Nonavong but does the more expensive Omni perform better?

Any of the Ti tipped Vapcaps will give you a very thick cloud from a small amount of weed. It's shocking how much vapour pours out of the small device. Loading it full and heating near the base of the cap will net you the biggest clouds.

You don't need the omni to get big clouds. The omni is an adjustable airflow system to dial in the perfect mixture of vapour to air.

@Omphaloskeptic when I worked out my average load size I weighed and ground a gram, straw loading method gave me 0.05g.

as people have written, all the models work beautifully. if you're not picky about looks, just want the performance, you can go as cheap as the OG (glass); if you want something less fragile (plus you get the titanium tip), get a Ti woody. when I got mine, they threw in a plastic-y mouthpiece that will let you vape through a (14mm I think) bong. if you're planning on heavy use, some extra O-rings might be worth ordering.

 

[Simple10]

I plan on using it with and without a bong. So really the OG glass will give just as big of a hit as the Omnivong? Is the adjustable airflow on the Omni really worth the significant bump in price?

I do enjoy a more airy piece but a restrictive airflow is not a dealbreaker

 

[GreenHopper]

Really so the OG glass with attachment piece will give just as big of a hit as the Omnivong?

I'd say no personally.

The UNI will as they come with the Ti Tip (same as the Omni's).

It's the Ti Tip (latest Gen 4) which makes the biggest difference in terms of cloud size and vape quality.

The OG doesn't make use of the Ti Tip as it uses a glass tip which doesn't conduct as well.

For quick basic and cheap you can't beat the OG.

If you want quality start looking at the UNI, for 14mm bubbler use get the VonG version (same as UNI but with a wider body to fit in the GonG connector).

The Omni's add the ability to vary the air mix between fresh air and vapour. You can do this manually with all the VapCaps by feathering the carb hole (putting finger on carb hole but periodically removing finger to add air) but the Omni lets you actually mechanically mix the vapour and air so you don't have to worry about feathering the carb hole.

I'd like to try tung oil or hempseed oil/beeswax to bring out the depth of the wood, but I don't want to ruin my pieces. Has anyone been brave enough to play around with finishes?

I condition all my wood Vapcap and Dynastash pieces every month or so with either @phattpiggie s blend of hemp oil and beeswax, or @Ed's TnT Bomb Ass Butter. I wouldn't put a commercial "wax" on my wood, but I bet any natural oil would do. But I'm no expert on wood conditioning....

I don't care about customization, how it looks, or what type of material each piece is made of. I just wanna know which option do I choose to get the biggest coulds?

Choose one that appeals to you.

The decision to choose one Vapcap over another is not about performance. They all perform, but there are some differences that might help you choose.

Durability.

The all glass OG Vapcap is fragile due to its all glass construction. If you drop it, it will likely break. It requires the use of a silicone mouthpiece, which also works well to seal the Vapcap to water tools. It is the most inexpensive model and could be considered disposable. If you loose one, it won't break your heart or your pocketbook.

The Vapcap S uses the same all glass one piece tip/body but also includes a stainless steel condenser and wood mouthpiece. It is also fragile and will likely break if dropped, but a replacement glass tip/body is cheap.

The ti tipped Vapcaps have a titanium herb chamber and a stainless steel condenser. They come in two lengths determined by the condenser length.

The Ti Woody and Ti Woody S models are both 3.5 inches long. The difference is that the Ti Woody S has a short wood body and a mouthpiece that fits over the regular condenser and the Ti Woody has a longer wood stem that fits over the condenser, but no separate mouthpiece.

The Ti Woody XLS model has a longer condenser and measures out at 4.25 inches long. It uses the longer wood stem and also has a mouthpiece. The longer length of the XLS model may suit you if you have larger hands.

All Ti Woody models are very durable and won't break if dropped. But they could be damaged if you run over them with your vehicle. Ensuring that you request a stem with a double metal crown will reinforce the wood ends.

The Omnivap with its titanium body is an indestructible beast that boasts a unique stainless steel condenser/ titanium mouthpiece combination that screw together. This adjustability allows the condenser to move tighter into or farther away from the tip to create a "set it and forget it" air flow restriction. Beyond this added feature, the Omni should be appreciated for its genius engineering and the incredibly tight tolerances needed to create what can only be called a functional piece of art. It should last a lifetime and although not recommended, you can run over it if you want. It is the most expensive Vapcap at $160 US.

Aesthetics and function.

The ti tipped models have a modular build which opens up a world of endless customization that appeal to both aesthetics and function. It is LEGO for stoners. Switch up bodies for stems and mouthpieces. Straight midsections for VonGs. Regular condensers for XL or an Omni condenser. Stock pieces for unique and beautiful custom stems and VonGs. Your imagination is your limit.

Cost.

Vapcaps range in price from $35 to $160. If cost is a factor, then choose the model that best fits within your budget.

So, all that to say, choose one that appeals to you, fits your budget and meets your durability expectations. Good luck with your choice!

 

[Simple10]

Thanks for the quick replies! Now I'm debating if the Omni adjustable airflow is worth the significant bump in price. I do enjoy more airflow in my hits but a restrictive piece is not a dealbreaker unless it's as bad as a disposable prefilled oil pen

 

[Squiby]

Now I'm debating if the Omni adjustable airflow is worth the significant bump in price.

The Omni condenser/mp does have the unique adjustable air flow feature. But its build is also much more robust than a regular condenser. The Omni is a beast. It's a tank. It is brilliantly engineered. And it will still be working when all others fail.

But, the regular Ti Tipped Vapcaps are also fantastic.

Ask yourself this:

Do I prefer a wood mouthpiece or a titanium (Omni) mouthpiece?

Do I want an automatic dialed in air flow that the Omni provides or do I prefer to manually control the air flow?

Answering these questions will help the choice reveal itself.

 

[Jen]

Twisting counterclockwise will make the condenser longer, but it may cause the mouthpiece to extend out from the body. Push the mouthpiece back in the body and you should notice reduced airflow. It will probably take a little effort and kind of "snap" into place. You may have to twist it more than you would expect to notice a big difference in airflow.

Bingo. This explained it and fixed it! I unthreaded and pushed the mp back in while the condenser was extended. Thank you!

 

[Simple10]

Ok I'm a lil confused about the Nonavong vs. the rubber mouthpiece. So the Nonavong was built so you can attach it to any 14mm female joint without a mp?
And the one dollar rubber mp allows for all the other Vapcap devices to be attached to a joint as well?

Is there any real difference in quality of the bong rip between the Nanovong or the other piece? Does the Nanovong hold more sturdy on a beaker bong with an angled joint?

Pretty close to getting one now, I'm just trying to justify buying a NonaV over the glass OG for reasons other than durability. I'm pretty good with glass pieces, don't remember the last time I broke one accidently.

If you're unsure I would start and the OG glass with the mouth piece. After you get your toes wet you can always figure out if you want to upgrade. Either way you go you're getting a great deal.

The Nona will fit in your glass much better than the rubber mouth piece. It's tapered just like the male glass joints.

What wine said plus many people don't like silicone in their air path, such as myself. There's that and the fact that wood is a lot more aesthetically pleasing imo.

The wood and metal are the best parts!

Ok In that case looks like I'm going for the option that best fits the bong. Unless is there a glass Nonavong stem available?


and more question: Are there any functional differences between the Skinny and the XLS variants or are they just aesthetic preference options

 

[Prolusio]

When I got my Ti Omni Dynavap included a glass body so customers can try it out, so that's something to consider if you find glass appealing. You get both versions if you buy an Omni!

I loved the look of the glass and the way the carb hole has a slight bump.. But I found it to be extremely slippery. Like you @Simple10 I'm not super prone to breaking glass; but I knew immediately I would not be able to handle having a glass body for more than a few days before I butterfinger it into oblivion.

Is there any real difference in quality of the bong rip between the Nanovong or the other piece? Does the Nanovong hold more sturdy on a beaker bong with an angled joint?

I just used the rubber mouthpiece to take some hits with my Ti Omni through my waterpiece; it actually holds very securely! However I do have an upright connection. I tried tilting it to simulate an angled connection and it worked just fine though... You can flick it around quite aggressively and it will not pop off, provides a great seal! I'd say it holds almost as good as a Nona but the Nona is more secure because it sinks into the glass more. Not as much protruding to boop off.

I also just tried comparing hits (through water) from my @Winegums Amphora Vong (standard condenser, no air adjustment) to those of the NonaVong and my OmniVong.. I don't think there's a difference in the density of clouds being produced. As @GreenHopper said it's the Ti tip doing most of the heavy lifting! Any model with a Ti tip should provide similar results.

The big difference I notice with the Omni is by adjusting the airflow/mp you can set it up so the carb hole behaves differently. But you can get fairly identical results by feathering the carb hole on the Non-Omni versions once you get the hang of it! The biggest appeal of the Omni for me was the option to get a Ti body; practically indestructible and classy as hell.

I truly think you'll be satisfied with the clouds any of the Ti tips produce @Simple10! I don't own the OG so I can't comment on it.. but there is not a configuration of the VapCap that I have tried and found disappointing. Just on that basis alone I'd say it's worth upgrading to the Nona or any other style that catches your fancy!

 

[Vapor_Eyes]

Here's the latest custom work I've done, by far the most complex and difficult. It's a fret board stem for @GreenHopper made from stinkwood, nickel and deer horn. I'm really proud of this piece. He's definitely going to hit the "high" notes when he uses this one.

That's definitely one of my favorite VapCaps, you did an amazing job with it!

All these recommandations are getting boring. It's everytime the same with nearly everone. Somebody is thinking and thinking again about his choice of ONE model over days, nights and weeks and at the end when one model was tried they are buying all the other DV and after market stuff..

One for sure, VC are getting the most expensive vapes of the world!

Dont waste your time, just immediately buy the cheapest of interesting VC, try it and.......start buying the rest......you cant stand addiction... you will be assimilated. @VapCap is the real borg!!

If you don't want this, don't buy ANY VC!!

 

[nacho257]

Can the Omni be used without its mouthpiece? Something about the mouthpiece isn't aesthetically pleasing to me, can it be taken off or will the condenser stick out from the body?

 

[Hogni]

Body will also be hold by the o-rings of the condenser. So you can use it w/o a mouthpiece.

BTW same as me. I'm no big fan of the VC's mp. Pretty sure there will come alternatives for the omni in the future too. At least a threaded mp holder for the omni. Up to then you will probably have more fun with a ti woody with stem or buy just a ti tip and let make a custom stem/body+mp by phattpiggie or winegums....or make one yourself.

BTW I have read from a few people who want to start turning themself and intend to buy a lathe.

Are there any recommandations for cheaper but good lathes?

 

[Ricardo]

Bingo. This explained it and fixed it! I unthreaded and pushed the mp back in while the condenser was extended. Thank you!

Yes, you can do that, but if you were to rotate the MP clockwise with the OmniVap fully assembled, would it shorten the condenser and increase the airflow or would the condenser just rotate without any effect inside the body, like mine?

 

[Jen]

I just tested this, here's exactly what I did: Just using the body and condenser/mp, I unthreaded the mp just a bit and stuck it in the body. I can see the condenser on the other end. If I twist counter clockwise, the condenser appears to do nothing until I push the mp so it's flush to the body again. Then the condenser is clearly sticking out a bit. Now, if I twist clockwise, I can see the condenser shorten and move back inside the body. No pushing on the mp to make it flush required.

 

[Squiby]

Can the Omni be used without its mouthpiece? Something about the mouthpiece isn't aesthetically pleasing to me, can it be taken off or will the condenser stick out from the body?

what makes the Omni an Omni IS the threaded Omni condenser/mouthpiece.

You could take it out, but then why buy the Omni?

Rather, either buy a Ti Woody which has all the ti tipped extraction featires features of the Omni but with no mp. Or a Ti Woody S which has a wood mouthpiece.

Pictured here top to bottom:
- Ti Woody XLS with B&W Ebony stem and Black wood mp
- Ti Woody with Cocobolo stem - no mp. Just a blunt wood end which some people prefer
- Ti Woody S with Black wood body and burl mp

Or just buy a ti tip and cap and a custom stem from @phattpiggie or Winegums to get the mouth end shape that you would prefer?

Like this

Or this...

Or what about Winegums stems?

There are lots of options rather than buying a unit like the Omni and then not using it as intended.

Enjoy!
