2 things confuse a little:

1. Is it normal that it always clicks twice when heating up and cooling down (so 4 times for a heat up and cool down process to make it clear as this can be confusing)?!
One is louder and the one that follows soon after more silently, deeper. Or it is the other way round or it varies.

2. First heat up of a full but uncompressed load is supposed to only get you none to barely visible vapor
and to really get everything out what's there you need to heat it up again 3-4-5 times?
I already tried to heat it up to just a bit after the click but still same behaviour with a full load.
May had a bit wrong expectations here, just not that stealthy.

It was designed to click 2x. Sometimes on the heat up it only clicks 1x. The clicks go through cycles: Sometimes the clicks on heat up & heat down are loud, sometimes soft, sometimes one click is loud & the other click is soft; sometimes the time between 1st & 2nd click changes. Hold the cap up to your ear & shake, & you will hear the 2 disc rattling. On occasion, you may not get any click, so be aware of what is a usual heat up time so when this happens you know to remove the cap from the heat source, otherwise, you will combust.

*You should never go more than 3 sec past the click as per Dynavap, as you can damage the cap.

Believe these guys. :lol: Many many many of us have this particular piece and it is a great small glass piece that functions well and doesn't break the bank.

If you get it from Sunshine Store I think you can choose a 18mm to 14mm reducer for free instead of a glass bowl you will never use for vaping.

Actually, looking at the link it may come automatically now, along with a M2M (male to male adapter)...

Sorry guys, I'm not trying to encourage any of you to make plastic bottle bong, because I also want a full glass water piece for my precious vapcap. But I living in a area that weed is illegal and I living with a big family and I don't want to let they know my "illegal habit", so it's hard to explain if they found a glass bong in my room. If I can found some ideal size of the bubbler which can hide in my room perfectly I sure will get one. I do looking for it now ;)

You helped me a lot. I think your plastic bottle bubbler/bong is ingenious. :) And it works, right? What I’m thinking of doing is using the different items you used but having someone drill a hole in my nice big Mason Jar with a handle. Actually, I wish somebody would just do that for me. :nod: Or maybe I can just drill holes in the metal lid.

I want to thank all those that responded to my questions. And thanks for the 18 to 14 piece recommendation. Sadly, I think this last update by Apple to my iPad ruined DHgate for me. I couldn’t get to the ‘Classic site’ and instead got their site that’s just awful, I don’t know how anyone orders off it. Anyhow I’ll go to my computer tomorrow and see if it works on that. I even spent about 30 minutes on a live chat but she couldn’t solve the problem. No...”Classic site” did not appear at the bottom of the page, or anywhere else.

I do have one of those little DO20 (or whatever it’s called) bubblers from DHgate and it works really well. I just wanted the Mason Jar one for fun. Now I feel greedy, knowing that poor @paehtod doesn’t even have one glass bubbler! :( Dear Lord, please just drop him a little glass bubbler out of the sky.

Now, I would really appreciate it if one of you could tap me on the shoulder whenever somebody comes here and posts. I usually get an email telling me but this time sure didn’t, and had to read two whole pages just to catch up. :D

Oh...to the fellow that’s not getting much vapor...keep practicing. Took me a few times and then I couldn’t believe how much vapor I was wasting because I couldn’t inhale it all by myself! That’s when I started using the bubbler, to see if I couldn’t preserve it a little better. :) And using a bubbler lets you see all that great vapor! :)

Thanks for showing me the way, Summer! ..and now I can finally stop looking for an "induction lighter for pipes" :D

I've been looking for an electronic vape that suits my usage preferences for over a year.
There was a period where this was getting stressful for me as i was still combusting while i searched.
Then 5 months ago i discovered dynavap! I immediately stopped combusting and my stress over the issue totally disappeared :) :) :)

I am however still keeping an eye out for an electronic portable that i like, for the times that waving a torch lighter around or teaching friends how to vapcap isn't ideal...

However... Reading the continuing issues with the grasshoppers (the electronic vape i really would like if they worked reliably), and the various silicone smells, airpath issues and cleaning limitations of other vapes i look into.... I just get happier and happier with my Dynavaps! I have zero concerns about reliability, no silicone or air path issues to worry over, and i can easily clean this thing to perfection.

I'm one smug vapcaper over here! :)

@ Osn Dosn

I've always found the SS-Tip of the M a little trickier to get vapor from than the Ti-Tip... But this will in part be because I've barely used the SS-Tip by comparison.

However i have gotten massive massive clouds from the SS-Tip of the M so i know first hand it is possible, and several of the die-hard Dynavap users here mostly use the SS-TIP from the M as they prefer it.

Everyone finds there own Groove with these devices so keep at it... But my first suggestion would be to aim your heat lower down on the cap - by this i mean further towards the open end of the cap.. Nearer the cooling fins of the SS-Tip. This should give you higher temps by the time the click happens. And you can still go a second or two past the click on the first cycle...

Hi, i'm a newbie with vapcap, with flower I still do not have an acceptable experience, but i've tryied a bit of hash, and a lot of pepper mint and melissa, with this it sucks!!! On g pen elite, i can taste mint and purity, the vapcap give you some shitty flavour at all!! Anyone can say me what's wrong?
 
abbaba,

holy heckerinos. i picked up a medium sized single flame torch for my M.. and it's now my heckin hash machine. i've been flattening my fluffy stuff into hash hats and putting in one at a time (mostly.) and it works fucking great. oh my gosh. and the torch is a big help. the extended heating time of the single flame + design means fewer hot parts to burn myself on makes it a great one for hash. i'm still experimenting with heating methods.:spliff:

and a little treat from china came in so:

hash in the M, green with the underdog... tonight's been :freak:

I havent tried mint in my omni but I know you should vape it with low temps. My best guess is that the temp you are producing is to high. Maybe you should try to heat it as close to the tip as possible. In that way you'll keep the temp in the tip lower.

As @Drexciya said - the low temp is the key here. I vape Mint from time to time and it tastes delicious. And yes, it tastes like shit at higher temps, so always stay at the upper third of the tip cap while heating.

New to the vapcap. I have an omni that I use with the double screen hemp fiber method. I use to use an Ascent which I would have to clean the glass every two days for best performance. I was curious how often do most people clean their vapcap and also are the O rings in the omni all the same or do I need different sizes. I saw the earlier post about them but didn't know if I needed the large and the small.

I only use flowers in mine but usually pretty good, sticky stuff and I almost never clean it. Maybe once every 2 or 3 months. It just doesn't seem to require it for some reason! It never clogs, only the end of the mouthpiece gets a little drippy with resin so I scoop that out and I'm good to go. I don't know if it's because of the heat involved or what, but it just doesn't fill up with resin at all. I use it every single day at least 2-4 to sometimes 10 times a day or more.

I thought I'd show off some summer acquisitions. The omnivap and the two nonavongs are from the 4th of july sale.
The nonavongs are sitting on a double garage/double magnet custom blackwood dynastasher that I got in the classifieds from @vapen00b, along with a nice blackwood tiwoody not pictured, new favs that have been in heavy rotation.
That's a new curly maple @Winegums piece in my mflb orbiter, a lovely pair.
I found that a glass water adapter from a DaVinci Ascent makes a nice mouthpiece for the orbiter, I like that little setup.
The nonavongs pair well with the orbiter too.

And theres the new for me blackwood woody I picked up with the double garage stasher. My carbon omnivap seems a natural pairing.

You have a link to the orbiter mouthpiece? I'm looking for one, hoping to not have to pay $28

Sorry @almost there, I don't.
I bought a second hand Ascent through the classifieds and that came with it.
I do highly recommend it for the orbiter.
I actually looked at the ascent stem and thought it might work but I wasn't sure, think it wasn't too expensive either. How long is it, is it telescopic? I don't see a 14mm joint on the Ascent stem, how do you connect it?
 
almost there,

Check this out, sneaky pete's globe mouthpiece, nice price, 14mm male, believe that is what the orbiter uses?
Before paying $ 28, I'd talk to mike @Oregonglassblower Nice guy by all accounts!

@almost there I just noticed SP also had the other (ascent?)mouthpiece and the one I linked also comes in black if you're feeling dangerous. :ninja:

The omni takes completely different o-rings than the M. It's the high temp rings on dynavaps site, not the condenser rings... And somewhere in this thread is a link to cheaper/bulk alternatives.



As far as cleaning... I guess it varies depending on herb used, grind, frequency of use etc...

I grind my flowers, use it all day every day, and have decent but not excellent herb...

I feel the need to torch the screen twice a week or so... And although the tip and condenser have yet to completely clog up i do scrap them out at least once a week... And i normally get a nice bit of reclaim out.

I only deep clean with iso when i accidentally combust.
