Dynavap VapCap

Yes! The SS M tip has fewer and shallower channels in the tip to allow air to be heated and drawn through material.

The Ti tip has many deep and wide air channels allowing for much more superheated air to be heated between the cap and chamber as well as more cooling fins on the neck for heat dispersion. There is a greater convection action with the Ti tip and less draw resistance even with the carb closed.

Thank you for answering that question! Greatly appreciated and I'm off to buy the titanium tip!

For all the people that haven't RTF Thread.
Leaking around the 14mm glass joint?
I stopped at the hookah shop on the corner and picked up some Myna style grommets. They are little silicone cones that seal up the hookah hose joints.
Winegums explained to me once that due to the grain on wood is softer on opposite sides, and when sanded the softer side of the grain sands easier. So the wooden vongs are slightly out of round. Anyway my vong doesn't seal completely in the 18mm by 14mm adaptor.
I put a grommet in the adaptor. Now my vong doesn't leak, I can use my regular mouthpiece, fat mp, and vong with no leaks. Before the grommet I had to hold the vong to keep the leak to a minimum.
The guy at the hookah shop was so glad to see someone come in the door he gave me a hand full of grommets for free. Doc

Keep in mind those joints aren't always fully in round on cheap Chinese glass, either. I have a few that are a bit wonky and work better with some joints (glass or wood) than others.

I have been using my M for a couple days and i like it.
My only negative comment is the airflow is ridiculous, there is none, it feels like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. I actually prefer the airflow from my Vapman.
Everyting else is great, loading, handling, clicking cap, but damn that airflow!

I'm not sure if you have another model or if this is your first one - I have the glass one and it's the same deal. With the cap on and the carb covered you can't really pull any air through at all. With the carb totally uncovered, it's too much air.

This actually does not bother me at all - maybe it's just the way I use it. Once the cap clicks, I cover the carb completely and pull for 5-10 seconds . .this takes some lung power, for sure (glad I quit the cigs). After 5-10 seconds my lungs will start to feel the heat and then I'll start feathering the carb . .quickly at first and slower . .and at the very end I open the carb completely for a half a second or so.

Varying the time spent with carb covered and/or amount of fluttering you can get a huge hit. I try to go 'click to click' . .ie . .make the draw last until the cap clicks again. I don't always make it.

Using a water tool, btw . .I keep the carb covered the whole time and just pull the vapcap out to clear. When I had a bong with awkward carb access, I just taped the carb shut.

Enjoy!

I only have 4 vapcaps so I'm gonna do 20 bowls to make the count!:freak:

Happy 420 fellow 'cappers! :science:

The DynaBuilder is freaking awesome (can't build an Omnivap with different bodies btw), just in time for the recent tsunami, they may be some virgins sacrifice on reddit tonight in that honor :evil:

That collection could make anyone green with envy.

What a great picture commemorating the holiday! The arrangement reminds me of a crown, I'm always seeing things that aren't there. ;)

And this photograph is historical documentation that you do indeed use your titanium tips. There has been some speculation based on how pristine they usually are in your pictures. :lol:

Carb function is very much a measure of torch function. You can certainly heat the cap in a manner which does not require plugging the hole for massive clouds. So keep experimenting padawans!

Personally, I very rarely cover the hole when hitting dry, the fresh air mixture really smoothes out a native hit and allows me to puff longer before the cool down click; so even though I'm not getting that massive surge all at once, I'm still pretty much getting the same size rip by the end of the cycle; just smoother, less "BAM" on the throat.

I do throttle the carb when going through water to adjust volume and airflow; this is what works for me, keep messing with it til you find what works for you. The Vapcap is certainly a versatile device to admire and operate.

with my VC's, I do deep click to click lung pulls, feathering the carb for temp and flow, but mostly closed...

This brings up an interesting point, other than the warning about overheating caps and any possible damage that may do.
One time when I wasn't paying attention due to buzz or talking or watching or whatever, and I didn't hear or at least notice a click and went way past it. I realized it and even saw wisps of SMOKE coming off the cap. OOPS. So I wanted that cap off IMMEDIATELY, but I found that the magnet was getting little love from the cap and couldn't pull it off.
Needless to say the load was lost :cry: but I learned something new. I had known that heating a magnet enough significantly reduces it magnetism (at least temporarily), but I DIDN'T know that using a cool magnet on a very hot piece of metal also reduces said "stickiness" to the point it was truly ineffective. Amazing. :sherlock:

Has anyone else seen this?

I have definitely felt before that the magnet was weaker on a hot cap, but was never sure if I was just high and paranoid or not

As a hobby bladesmith I've brought many pieces of metal up to the non magnetic point. As a piece of steel reaches orange hot it will start to become non magnetic until it is completely non magnetic (Austenite). This is also the point where the carbon is fully in solution and the steel can be hardened if quenched (Martensite).

Anyone ever used a Black Rock Originals Safety Case? Forty bucks for a smell-proof case. It looks cool for a VapCap. Plenty of room for Tubes and lighters. Looks like it might be a neat case for the vc system.
What do you folks think? Doc

Those do look cool, and currently $29.95 with the $10 off code.

Anyone got one? Wondering if the velcro straps will hold the vapcap or if they'll be too loose?

Also, can someone explain to me how the VC and wood scents work together?

I have a smellproof pouch similar to this that's cheaper and not as cool looking, but gets the job done for me. Ebay item# 151637438907. It's around the same size but thicker. In goes my vapcap/doobtube, lighter, tiny bottle of Clear Eyes, organic cottonball for my filters, and an herb container 1cm tall by 4cm wide.

The BlackRock case would be perfect except I doubt it's thick enough to hold my twin flame lighter. And I don't want to use any other lighter, I stuck a Dynamagnet on it and it's so useful lol.

As far as cases go, I just use the VC provided tubes, carried in my shoulder bag. Smell is never an issue.

I have a Wood Scents, and the real key to working with a VC is that Ed's heat tube in his log is sized to match a DynaVap Ti tip. Do the lego math...........and Ed's heat tube is crowned by one of George's latest generation Ti CCD's. Sweet

When the Wood Scents is fired up, I can pick up any one of my VC's and get a nice, mostly convective hit.

Oh ,is that so?
:sherlock:

Should consider machining some ultra-special metal bodies/stems ?

Say something like a Damascus steel body /stem !
https://gr.pinterest.com/explore/damascus-steel/

Or even more to the extreme :a mokume-gane body/stem ,
made out of noble metals like Gold,Sterling Silver,Platinum,Rhodium,Niobium,etc.


Now,that would 've been something really special ( and quite rare ) !

I have some harmonica cases that accommodate one tube and one vapcap, I'm waiting for that thin lighter from ebay hoping that it will fit in the case.

Not near the cool and size of the expensive one specific to vapes, but very light, small and discreet.
