Different strokes for different folks - and different situations I suppose.
I enjoy my VCs, but still use battery vapes also. This type of electric (battery) heater would be great in certain situations I vape. Especially, out in public, where using a triple jet torch could raise suspicion and make a VC look like something a lot more "druggy" (and for harder drugs). Think using a small electric heater, like this mod, makes it look more like an e-cig to most unfamiliar with vaping.
It's also dead quiet, other then the small click, and virtually windproof. Two things that would come in very handy when out and about! Or, riding in the passenger/back seat for a couple reasons. You don't need to see if your flame is actually going in bright sunlight (even worse with polarized shades on - almost impossible), and you're not making the driver crazy (assuming they're OK with vaping) with constant lighter clicking and jet sounds. Many more good ones I'm sure. Only mentioning a few that would have been nice just this past weekend.
I have a Pipes Portside (that should be home soon after heading back to Pipes' Central for repair). It is AWESOME! It's bigger than I'm likely to carry in my bag and not something I'm likely to take out and about - other than discretely mounted in my own car. Would be nice to have something cheap like this I can drop in a cargo pocket. It's lighter, easier to use discretely and something I'm not as worried about getting torn up or ditching if necessary (cheap to replace).
"Violate"? Puh-lease! Use your vapes however you see fit, and everyone else should do the same - VCs and others! Good to follow directions and other's techniques until you get things down and get a feel for them. After that? Please experiment as much as you feel comfortable with, and share any revelations here!
GREAT CHOICES! Welcome to the wonderful word of VCs.
IME "M" & Ti tip are both good for concentrates. M will come to full heat a bit slower, and retain heat a bit longer. Depends on how you like to hit your trates, but could see this as beneficial to many.
Think flexy is just a specific dab tool to help with scraping reclaim. IME, any decent dab tool with a flat blade & shaft small enough to fit into condenser will work fine. My favorite Ti dab tool has this, and a wider blade on other end, but forget where I got it and has no branding.
Once you hear the cool down click, it is cool enough to drop in a doob-tube (the little green or purple plastic case) like your VC comes in. Have NEVER had a problem with it being too hot for this, even after particularly long sessions of a few loads. You're always letting it cool before re-heating (if doing it right), so never really gets SUPER hot.
May be nice for George to come up with a specific concentrate pad - super genius that he is! Hemp fiber works great for me. If you'll be running a lot of trates, I'd suggest
@Squiby 's tip to make a screen sandwich with hemp in between AND a layer of hemp fiber on top of screens to hold trates as they melt. I don't run a lot through mine, and find just using a nice hemp fiber disk tamped to screen, and another fluff, with concentrate rolled up in it, works fine. Keep an eye on how melted trates are going and be sure they're not going through the bottom hemp disc and you should be fine.
MUCH MORE INFO about these and other things in
"Best of" thread, and all over DynaVap site. DV FAQ is OK, and answers some questions. Vids there are good, but there are many more on the
DV YouTube channel. T
his thread on jet lighters is also very helpful, as well as several others for custom VC stems. Also, probably a good idea to do a search in this thread for
@Squiby 's post. Many of her posts are chock full of great info and tips. She is unquestionably the Queen of VapCaps!
Almost forgot.... Looks like you ordered right on the tail end of a BIG sale. DV does this a few times a year, and the number of orders these sales generate seem to be getting much larger with every one. Sucks to have missed the sale prices (no worries, more coming in the future I'm sure), but worst part may be that your order is going to take a bit while they try to get out all of the sales orders. Don't sweat it. I don't know of any other vape company that could do all this as fast and well as DV.
