You'll need some more parts to go with the spinning mouthpiece, as your M is a hybrid one piece Body/Mouthpiece combo.i just ordered the M. i added a spinning mouthpiece and then read that getting a longer condenser would help with the twirling a bit... i dunno.
Check out the FAQ on the website and study the product chart to get a feel for the lego like possibilities with these products, and remember these lengths
Body - 45mm
Stem - 62mm
Wood mouthpiece - 17mm
Ti-Uni, Vong or Omni total length - 92mm
XLS or future XL Omni total length - 109mm
I don't believe that George intended for the M to be "fully" modular. As a rugged and functional entry into the VC world, the M is a rare gem. But if you want the full lego experience, save up for one of the Ti models and start building your collection!

Hey friends, I always seem to interrupt. Pardon for elbowing in.
Dope Cup Seattle was fun but with all that combustion I could only spend a few hours there. All the smoke and no air so I said F Combustion... I'm outta here. Ack! I did represent DynaVap ... pulling away on a @VapCap to demonstrate it to others and with George in front of attendees. He is great fun.
Wouldn't an herbal vape convention be great without all the combustion?
Ok, I'll quiet down. Back to your scheduled programming.

That Space Needle dabber/carb cap is sweet. I'm surprised about all the combustion. Cannabis Cup was just in SoCal and it was pretty much exclusively concentrates. My friends that went who don't dab didn't feel welcome lol.

Dude, the time that the cap takes to cool down is A LOT longer in your video than the one of my M: yours takes like 1 full minute, and you actually need to put in on the magnet to make it pop... Mine after around 30s of normal draws pops by itself.
Do you think it's because of the model (I have a M) or because I use a single flame lighter? Or because you're using it through water and it's cooling down the cap slower?
Heat up time is not that different (around 13s)....
Sorry for all the noob questions, I'm trying to learn

I prefer to go no bigger than a triple jet torch, but have noticed small differences in cool down from cap to cap, tip to tip as well as heating method (type of torch and where on cap). Doesn't take more than a bit of experimentation to find what whats best for you. IMO, is good to look to other's techniques for ideas and general guidance, but better to figure out the fine tuning for yourself. Not every tip, or cap of whatever material, seems to work EXACTLY the same. Throw in your personal usage and preferences, and think it's best to tweak to what you'll enjoy personally.

thanks for posting video but could you please:
describe the glass top tek and maybe shoot another video as the bright light background makes you/ the foreground/the vapcap mods impossible to see. Thanks
almost there

you just need to get out more it sounds like, lol. Even a middle aged weirdo like me can quickly name off a half dozen female friends I've known who can whip up anything from a needle joint to mini bat blunt. Time for you to go out and make some new friends
@PeteSeattle I'm jealous, wish I could hang out and sip beers with George
. Did he give you the number to the Dynaphone?

I just ordered a vapcap m (previous vapes are iolite and pax 2) and I am looking forward to one hitter style vape - ti woody looks gorgeous but I cannot justify splashing out - will probably get vas if my m lives up to expectations! Can't wait - can people post some artful shots of their vapcap as so I can gaze at them!

Do a search for posts by @TheVaporist . There are many beautiful photo of VCs and Dyna stuff, but this poster takes some of the best. He hasn't posted for a few days, but some of his shots are truly outstanding...

Yeah, I meant the oring that sits on the body of the condenser versus the one at the end of the mp.
It worked for me, you're right, positioning the oring at the carb may be better. Also, using the larger oring may work best. The condenser x orings come packaged with two smaller and one larger x orings.
I had started calling them x-rings, because that's what they are, but some didn't know what I was talking about, so I went back to plain old orings. Maybe X orings is a better name....
I roll the BEST joints; a skill cultivated from decades of practice. Evenly packed, not too tight, straight profile, no middle bulge. But I don't need that particular skill set anymore...

Right, the larger ring's (?) purpose is to make it easier for the spinning mouthpiece to spin and sits on the tip side of the mp. Unnecessary in the M. Pretty sure the M only comes with 2 small ones, but I don't have an unused M to check.

I gave my M to a vaporless friend, but not before I adjusted the condenser
x-ring.
I just moved the one on the body of the condenser, or middle, down past the carb. Then we used that M through the evening and it blocked the air intake perfectly.
It was a great night. My friend vapes but her husband still loves his joints, but he was interested in the M and loved it. Awhile later he accepted a heated M that was handed to him and accidentally and absentmindedly put the hot cap end to his lips... All that and we still converted him.
I can't tell you whether the x-ring was a smaller or larger one. I never looked that close.

I've found really useful and I think it makes a great difference in torching the cap at an angle and not vertically... Then you can sort out the height according to that angle.. I think that my ABV seems to be better roasted and not way too much.. Most than probably, I can get 1-2 extra hits by doing so...
I have a quad torch as well in the order, I've only been playing with a single one so far so I'll have to see how this quad one performs..
Now there is some weird things going on with the clicks.. If I don't hear the "double click" I know that I won't get a decent and milky hit, if heated properly of course and not at the very top or so. Whenever I've only heard a single click, the hit is not strong and thick enough... nowhere near... Whereas, when the click is double, the hit is a proper one.. Again, there is a double cooling click as well..
Unfortunately I had my M "combusted" the other day since I thought that it had clicked on the cooling phase and I started torching it again and... fuck... you know who..
This was in a noisy bar though and I had some slight trouble hearing the click.. but it was heard even in such occasion!! The only thing that it's really f*** up is the smell when you succeed in burning everything in there.. So, I finally cleaned it as well the other day.. Significant amount of "oil gunk" on the condenser and more inside it! the rings were a bit sticky as well. I haven't iso-dipped the tip yet. I was thinking of probably bathing it head-down up until the o-rings so that they don't get wet at all.. you should be fine by doing so.. even having combusted, using a swab with iso took almost all the smell away. Overall, maintenance wise this vape is insane.... really easy and straight forward to clean it and put it back to place...

Lol, the Dynaphone we all have access to the number. It's the same one on the website. Sipping beers in Pike Place Market was fun over a great conversation. George is genuine as he comes across in videos. And it was fun to see him show blunt smokers how to use the M at the Dope Cup.
"Dude! The flavor man and all that from this thing?"

Actually they do have a name.They are called quad-rings
or -like Squiby calls them - "X-rings" .
" Quad-rings are four lipped seals with a specially developed sealing profile. It has a double sealing function as compared to O-ring. A wide range of elastomer materials for both standard and special applications allows practically all liquid and gaseous media to be sealed. The choice of a suitable material is determined by the temperature, pressure and media. They are vulcanized as a continuous ring. Quad-rings are supplied to the American Standard AS 568 A.
Advantages of using Quad-ring:
- Avoid twisting in the groove.
- The seal does not tend to roll in the groove during reciprocating movement.
- Low friction. It requires less radial squeeze than a comparable O-ring.
- Less squeeze mean less friction, less wear, and thus a longer service life
- Very good sealing efficiency. Due to it special profile, a high sealing effect is achieved.
- A lubricant reservoir formed between the sealing lips improves start up "

As for sizes :
Edit : There's one thing though that I can not understand.
At Dynavap site ,at the FAQ / "What to clean and how to clean my device "
one can read : " Do NOT clean with alcohol or other flammable liquids. Doing so may damage the condenser quad rings and any wood components.We suggest using DynaWax to maintain the polish on the wood as well as lubricating the o-rings for reassembly. Reassemble components to match the original assembly. When re-inserting, push pieces of the device together, adding lubricant and a slight twist to ease rubber o-rings in place. "
Lubricant ? Which type of lubricant since alcohol can damage the quad rings ?
( BTW Isopropyl alcohol seems not to affect at all the condenser quad rings ,by personal experience.)
At VAPCAP instructions one can read :
" WARNING: Cleaning with alcohol or other flammable liquids is not recommended. Alcohol will not damage any component of the VapCap, even with prolonged soaking, but we do not recommend using it. "
Ok,now alcohol will not damage any component of the VapCap, even with prolonged soaking ...
But still Dynavap does not recommend using it .
Still at the paper manual that came along with the M ,one can read inside :
"
Cleaning and Care
(...)
2a.CAUTION: Do NOT clean with alcohol or other flammable liquids. Doing so may damage the condenser quad rings and any wood components.
(...)
3(...)Lubricating o-rings may help the process;apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or wood conditioner as needed."
Petroleum jelly ?
Hey !Just wait a sec .I've always thought that petroleum jelly and o-rings are a rather bad idea.
Applying vaseline can erode several types of o-rings .
Others harden and crack.
Others expand and become loose/slacky .
Others just disolve,becoming a weird sticky gunk.
Check "Oil Resistance" of most common elastomers used for o-ring fabrication ,on the chart below:
George,I'm rather confused on the matter.
ISO seems not to affect any of the
Petroleum Jelly I'm not going to apply on them,even with a gun pointing at me.
Yet,I'm cleaning tip and condenser ,while still hot.
Needs nothing but cotton.
Cheers.

There are a bunch of good ones at DHGate. Several of my favorites are in my sig. D020, D022 and the FC-UFO are all great, tho the UFO may be a little large for VapCaps, YMMV. The links in my sig are all live links if you want to see them on DHGate. I see the FC-UFO is just a link to a pic of mine, so here is the actual link.
http://www.dhgate.com/product/2015-...water/233447446.html#s1-0-1b;searl|2458689594
These are all 18mm so you will need a reducer. Some may be available in 14mm.
More: Someone posted a video the other day using this piece which looks interesting... http://www.dhgate.com/product/colored-nexus-solid-glass-bongs-blue-or- green/386594949.html#s1-3-1b;searl|0882713786
It's available from several different vendors...
