I had a LOTUS I loved so I thought a VAP CAP would be similar?
I have a Lotus that I loved too. I no longer use it because I think that the Vapcap is superior, but I won't part with it just the same.
There are several differences between the Lotus and the Vapcap.
- the Lotus must be heated with a single jet lighter while the Vapcap can be heated with just about any heat source.
- The Lotus has a deeperr learning curve and has no temperature indicator while the Vapcap clicks when it comes to temperature.
- The Lotus resembles a pipe experience while the Vapcap is more of a joint or cigarette experience.
- The Lotus, while quite small is many times larger and bulkier than the very portable, streamlined Vapcap.
- The Lotus requires that you heat while toking, contrasting with the Vapcap that you heat THEN toke.
The Vapcap is more portable, versatile, easier to heat and doesn't need fire held close to your face.
Can anyone let me know if having the x-ring in contact with the tip is inadvisable or A-OK ? Thanks!
I don't know that I would put the x-ring in direct contact with the end of the tip. It's not necessary and you can easily push it a bit further up the condenser. Having an x-ring in this position, between the tip and the air intake, blocks the airflow and allows for wonderful billowous mouthpulls and is gentler on the lungs.
What are the standard and xl condenser used in?
The standard and XL condensers can be used with any VC tip and cap. The condenser determines the length of your Vapcap.
If you use a regular condenser the overall length of your assembled VC will be 3.5 inches long.
If you use an XL condenser the overall length of your assembled VC will be 4.25 inches long.
The standard condenser accommodates a 62mm configuration so you can set up your VC with;
- a 45mm body or VonG along with a 17mm spinning mouthpiece. 45 +17 = 62
- or just a 62mm stem or VonG.
The XL condenser is longer and accommodates a 79mm configuration, so you can have a VC with;
- a 62mm stem or VonG and a 17mm spinning mouthpiece. 62 + 17 = 79
- or a custom 79mm stem or VonG.
The VC is modular and mix and match is the name of the game and part of its wonderful magical appeal.
@Squiby I was reading on your profile about o-rings and you mentioned you use 2 for the spinning m/p. Mines is still really tight on my Ti-Woody after using a month. Can you please explain?
Two things can affect the mp moving freely; at tight mp or restrictive x-rings.
Temperature and humidity can affect wood and when it gets wet, it swells. Take off the x-rings and slide your mp onto the condenser. If it a snug tight fit, you can loosen it up by rolling up a bit of sandpaper and passing it through the mp a few times.
If the mp spins freely on the bare condenser, then adjusting the x-rings is in order. Assemble the mp with x-rings on the condenser and the place your fingernail between the x-ring and mp to bring the ring slightly away from the mp. The mp should now spin freely.
I like to double up two x-rings placed inside the midsection, just slightly away from the mp. This helps to firm up the assembled unit a bit on some bodies/stems.
@Squiby how much vapor do you get with Harlequin, and how is the effect? Thanks. hoping it could be good for daytime use
I find Harlequin to be a nice daytime high CBD strain. It leaves you functional with a relaxed sustained energy. It is one of my all time favorites.
