I for one really loved @Pipes postings wherein DIY morphed into a hobby and maybe a business (certainly worthy of going commercial, whatever his intentions, today or tomorrow). I'm new to @Winegums postings but intrigued.

I'm not sold on adjustable airflow, not yet. The Omni XL has taught me so much about twirling between my fingers. I just rotate between my thumb and opposing forefinger situated over the carb, moderating flow through the carb. Seems much better than either "flute playing" or adjusting via the omni only threading, I don't really want a reduction of the maximum draw, which is I think all you get?

Induction junction, what's com-bus-tion ...

I used a triangle file for grooving the top of the tip and the draw restriction seems sorta acceptable now. Hopefully it doesn't look like I ruined it?.. (in the other pic I think the grooves weren't in the same place where the spiral thing ends at the tip, but they are on mine) could file more & clean it up if I find my round needle file

So I can get a nice taste out of chamomille for maybe 3 seconds, but even by counting 1 sec past the click, I basically don't get any visible vapor. I guess that's normal, if chamomille doesn't have much stuff that vaporize at 300-400F... hope I'll have better luck with cannabis. really sick of that chamomille smell... bit worried about drug tests for jobs :mad:
(was able to get some vapor... or smoke after trying again. the stuff got almost black.. not sure if it combusted)

Maybe I shouldn't pull so hard w/ the mouth draw that I can't pull continuously for more than a second. How long does a mouth pull last for y'all? eh, I think I may be getting it down. I should do a mouth pull, and then when I can't anymore just let go of the carb and inhale through the lungs. repeat. will take some practice

Guys!

The DHL tracking page says "OUT WITH COURIER FOR DELIVERY". My OmniVap XL is coming! Finally! However, the symptoms of my VAS have definitely reached its maximum: restlessness, sweating, excessive excitement, uncontrolled emotion, random walking, leg shaking, window watching... OMG! Is this deadly? Will the OmniVap arrive before I need to go to the Hospital!?!?!?!?

IMHO, VapCaps are not ideal for sipping on aromatic herbs - I prefer to use a session vape (the DaVinci Ascent) at lowish temperatures on the rare occasions I feel the need to vape some mint. I have never wanted or expected big clouds from these herbs and I believe the VapCap is optimized for marijuana use :leaf:

Does anyone have the dimensions of the herb chamber in a Dynastash? My cedar one dries out bud so hard and fast it's crazy - like dry as dust in a matter of hours. I'm thinking of trying one of those keychain pill/toothpick holders to store the bud, and I'd like to get the biggest one I can find that will fit. My digital calipers are buried in storage, so if someone could tell me the depth and narrowest width of that side of the Dynastash, I'd be much obliged.
@WarpaintFree - herbal vapes are most efficient with dry, cured bud and if I ever get bud that is not quite ripe I put it in my dynastash overnight and next day I'm blowing clouds!

@Sinnoah, it's called being under the spell of this thread. :D The passion is palpable & contagious. :nod:

@WarpaintFree yeah, it surprises me how cedar is so moisture absorbent & yet it's a non-porous hard wood. :hmm:

They don't even presently offer an Omni with a standard body unless it's the TI.

I don't really understand what you mean by that, as you can switch out the Omni stem w/ any other 62mm stem of your liking, or you can buy an Omni XL condenser & pick 1 of the 5 stems currently sold individually on the DV website & then just add a tip & cap.


@TheHerbPuffer, here's the links for artisan vc stems pics. Ed & Winegum both have links in their signatures to their wares, & I've been told phattpiggie has an instagram page, although not referenced in his signature -- should be @phattpiggie.:nod:

phattpiggie, Winegums, Ed's_TnT

I like my Dynastache just fine, but it's not necessary. get the magnet, find an altoids tin (or 'stache wax tin) and you are good to go.
Heat transfers out via cap/magnet MUCH faster than air-cooling.
and handling hot things thru a kleenex will burn you - or waste kleenex

I love my altoid tin, but I have to admit I'm guilty of always double-folding over a kleenex to handle the cap.


I can't find a very recent post wherein
the OP had combusted(?) & wanted to clean the cap. Well, I combusted & got some residue stuck to the inside of the cap & I did what many consider a no-no, in that, I jump dampened a q-tip w/ iso & ran it around in the inside of the cap & scrubbed away the debri & immediately rinsed thoroughy. But here's @flotntoke's post on how he cleans his caps. Worth reading. Link


Hey @CuckFombustion, 2 things. In an earlier post you mentioned the dynavap wax, well, not only for the wood stem, but for lubricating the o- & x-rings.

I think that spring stash is great, but I prefer both the functional design & aesthetics of @Winegums' cases. I like the way in which it opens -- side pull down. I like the way the vc is unveiled while opening. I think it's real vc undressing porn. :brow:

Come on, just look at this photo. (They're like little vc coffins. :lol:)

The dimension of Dynastash XL: 128mm x 51mm x 20mm thk.

I like that all that about about those cases double as stands and that they are in the ready position once you flip up the door.

The width and weight are just enough to pull this off. :nod:

Thanks for the pics and the template to work with. There is some chart that was posted with sizes and dimensions of the VCs. So anybody can get creative.:science:

I just browsed Esty and found other design possibilities and actual Dynavap items. :zzz: Here's @Winegums 's Esty page. And the natural light cherry wood vlong wood body he offers.

Hiya @Mr.Sifter I saw this and wondered what little thingy was tempting you, I'm assuming it was on the DV site? I'm assuming because you mention no shipping charges to EU, which happens...umm..never? So without the benefit of a link or searching to find whatever thing you're referring to. I'm just wondering.

But I have a problem with your last 2 cautionary lines, I was like WTF? Is he serious?!
The reason why: You have spent days (maybe weeks) turning this decision of yours into a problem for all with all sorts of hypothetical concerns. You have come here repeatedly, seeking reassurrance, to the point that other members are joking with you about it. Many members genuinely gave you their feedback based on experience. Then you finally say "fuck it, I'm out" but we all knew that wasn't happening. So you came to your senses about your grasshopper needing a back-up. Congratulations. I think the Nona was a really good decision. But you have still haven't ever used a VapCap of any model that you have talked about here.

My problem is with your last sentence in particular, the reason it pisses me off is:

That one sentence devalues this thread and Fuck Combustion now & in the future. I'll tell you why:

People who maybe are just beginning to think about fucking combustion (and which device might best suit that goal) will come here. But they won't know you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. The VapCap is (one of) the best for those transitioning. I wouldn't let myself consider a VC for months (well after spending $400 on 2 other vapes) because someone way back last spring got me thinking the torch seemed borderline dangerous. I didn't know she/he didn't know what the fuck they were talking about? But I know you don't, so don't act like you do before you do. When you have something to contribute that is based in fact please, by all means, please share it. Don't turn this thread into Mr.Sifter's Worry Corner.

TRUTH: the heated end of the VC is around 100mm or 4 inches from your face. If you have ever smoked a joint with a friend then you have courted far more danger than you will using a VC. Unlike lighting a joint/ciggy, the open flame is nowhere near your face. A VapCap is one of the safest butane vapes IMO because, since the flame isn't near your face there is no way you're inhaling butane exhaust, unlike all those years I used a pipe & one-hitter. The VapCap is safe for mature adults. YMMV.


I was talking about this tiny little bubbler.

Cant understand your critisism.
I wasnt harming anybody.
I just typed my thoughts about the vapcap and what might concern me.
Just because you dont like the act of thinking things through and beeing able to admit that there might be potential difficulties and short comings, you have no right to tell me I am a troubles person or whatever.

Oh, lets all join the happy minded no worries train,... eerthing is fine.

Not for me !

Hi Guys,
I chose the following models from Dynavap. Once the VapCap OMNIVAP original titanium and the VapCap Ti WOODY-XLS Cocobolo.
Which model would you recommend to me?
 
TeeFee,

pxl_jockey

Just a dude
You are absolutely positively 100% correct. I have no right to tell you anything or what cause for concern is valid for you. Just please try to relax and enjoy the vapcap experience when it comes for you. I think you'll find that a hot VC tip demands respect, you quickly adapt. I really hope that is true for you. I think you'll find I actually quite like the act of thinking things through. But come on man, with that bubbler the hot end of a VC will be even further from your face than if holding the VC. I am a longtime long hair, I'm hyper-aware of flame and all heat sources, so I don't go up in flames like Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial.

You don't have to board a happy minded no worries train. I can dig the happy minded part, but no worries doesn't describe me either. Everyone worries, we all just happen to worry about different things and to varying degrees. We all have a threshold of worry that we won't cross for a vape. I'm fine with the inert metals that DynaVap uses to comprise the vapor path. I truly think when you hold it, take it apart and put it back together, many of your questions and concerns will be laid to rest. If not, vapcaps do well in the classifieds here and I am sure you can sell it. Vapcaps are really quite risk-free to try, it seems to be an easy vape to resell. Probably because it can be stripped and cleaned to like-new condition.

Please consider my apology. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. That wasn't nice and the Number One Rule is Be Nice. So again, my apologies @Mr.Sifter for hurting your feelings. Take it easy!

@TeeFee, my pick would be the Woody, just because I find it more attractive & I like the wood stem much better the faceted omni stem. No matter what you pick, you can't go wrong. Pick which ever appeals to you more.


@Mr.Sifter keep doing your thing ... .

I agree.


@Mr.Sifter, is this bubbler the one you're interested in or one that you've already ordered? If you are interested in cheap glass that can be used for the vapcap, you need to post over in the thread below as not to derail this thread.

Get started by scrolling the thread pages for pics & vid. A # of vids of the vc through water.

Really chuffed, won a competition on:

http://thehedonistclub.co.uk/

I found a tiny pirate cat on the website and won an M, DynaKit and a torch lighter! Sooooo excited! I recently bought my wife a Ti Woody S, I absolutely love it but its not mine :( But hell the universe has spoken and now I have my own M! Should get it at the end of the week :D

If your UK based, check out The Hedonist Club. Its an awesome shop run by TD who can't do enough to help.

When cleaning my Dynavap can I rinse the tip in Iso with the O-rings on? I always do a hot water rinse after Iso as well.

I can get the o-rings off the condenser but my fingers aren't nimble enough for the ones on the tip. Hoping a rinse (vs a soak) won't damage the o-ring (are they made of silicone or rubber or ?)

The o-rings can handle alcohol just fine, but I wouldn't go soaking the tip over night in it. I like using an Isopropanol soaked q-tip to scrub things out.


@Winegums and any dugout enthusiast this was what I was going on about in the video below.:mental: I found a video of the dugout with the spring action at my local head shop. And It CLICKS to open. Repeat. IT CLICKS TO OPEN! :lol:
If only it fit the VC. The top of the dugout is a wide section and could store smaller extras, etc.

I've seen the slimmer, space saving approach all the FC accessory makers, manufactures, basement tinkerers, modders, etc are going with in your dugout designs.:cool: Which is the right design approach IMHO. More pocket size. And being able to store two VCs or a small lighter. Thanks for sharing! :tup:

BTW, this is a fast moving thread with a lot of content and pics of eye candy etc. If you are new and/or having trouble getting the knack with your VC, don't hesitate to ask questions here. :uhoh: I was apprehensive and didn't want to deal with breathing butane. Here is more of a visual. If you are using the right technique, you should only be heating the cap in some manner away from your body. Hear the click, bring it toward you to draw. You should only be breathing the air coming into the airpath that is near you presumably. Also check out George's videos. :peace:

I have to admit that that is a cool design. I never considered doing a latching system to hold things closed since magnets were simple to implement. The complexity of doing that mechanism consistently is beyond what I can do in my shop. I really need to get a mill.

I have plans to make a slimmer XL case at some point that is more pocket friendly. The current version is quite wide, acting more like a portable vapcap station and less like a pocket case. A slimmer version wouldn't store a lighter but would have space for herb.

Sometimes I find myself wanting a single bay case that doubles as a stand for loading. I like carrying my vapcap preloaded but I don't like the idea of the cap coming off in my pocket and spilling.

I don't really understand what you mean by that, as you can switch out the Omni stem w/ any other 62mm stem of your liking, or you can buy an Omni XL condenser & pick 1 of the 5 stems currently sold individually on the DV website & then just add a tip & cap.
Currently the full Omni kits available on the site are the TI, the TI XLS, and both the Blackwood and Cocobolo with Vong stems. This is what I ordered, my first experience from Dynavap. Sure I can order other parts. This is not what I did. I added the Omni with Cocobolo Vong stem from their Omni lineup, plus the basic kit and a dynastash . I did not receive the Vong body the same as someone else reported from this thread. See quote below.

so my green envelope showed up today and i was so stoked. Unfortunately my happiness turned to sorrow. I wanted an blackwood OmniVonG and when i went to the Dynavap site i saw there no OmniVonG's listed however, the Blackwood Omnivap in the picture looked like a VonG so i clicked the product description and it said "midsection: 14mm Blackwood NonaVong so i said , that must be it, just changed the name. i ordered it but what came to my house was indeed a blackwood omnivap, the skinny body that is surely not a VonG. i double checked the site and sure enough the OmniVap Blackwood still says "NonaVonG" midsection.

Does my post make sense now? As I said, it's my first order and I am disappointed. I have emailed them to give them an opportunity to make things right, but I still can be disappointed in my first experience, no?

@JCharles, when I give the tip or the whole unit for that matter a quick clean I don't even soak it, I just wipe the innards down with iso soaked q-tips. When I do a deep clean, I put all the pieces (except the cap) in ISO for 5 min & then run the iso q-tip all over each part. I don't remove my o-rings because it's a pain in the butt, they're so tiny & my fingers are big & not too nimble. @Winegums gave us links to purchase the o-rings (& x-rings), & they're cheap enough to dispose of them if they become loose or raggedy. Hey, you gotta splurge somewhere. I do, however, remove the x-rings & it's easy to do.

http://www.oringsandmore.com/ 6mm o-rings & I'm pretty sure both 6 & 8mm x-rings for the M. Although I personally use only the small x-rings.

And, oh, don't forget to lubricate lightly on the outside after soaking.
