Thanks for another great review @WakeAndVape!
One of the things I like most about your reviews is that they get straight to the point and there is no filler. I have a short attention span sometimes, so it's nice having a short review that is still very informative. Your editing is skillful and stylish!

I completely agree, after a while of trying this you will develop a feeling for when the cap is going to click. You'll know when you're gone too far even before earing that first click...

thanks...the blackwood is def. a beauty...but i do feel like the TI is a must.Great vid man. Been waiting to see ti omni back on website myself. Guess I just gotta call my buddy George, see if he can hold one for me. I'm just gonna order a blackwood omni and wait on a ti tube... Ready to upgrade from M , feel like I'm missing out... Cheers, D.

I have one that has stuck many times. I only get it off by soaking in alcohol. I just put it in a tiny container where the alcohol can cover the cap but does not touch the o rings. I finally took that cap and put it on my OG.

Thanks, @Derrrpp, @mucsusn, @Dynalowrider, and @DirtyD for the replies.
I emailed Dynavap this morning.
I'm not opposed to picking up some grommets to make this work, but the ability to just drop the Nonavong in the glass was the main appeal. I prefer the simplicity of fewer parts.

I was informed by Winegums a while back that the grain of wood sands unevenly, so the wooden stem or body gets slightly out of round. The glass is ground so it's about as round as you can get.
I have found that most wongs, (wood on glass), leak.
Most hookah shops carry "Nyla" grommets. Small silicone cones to seal the hose joints on a hookah. I turn one wrong side out and leave it in my water tool. It works great with ether of the mouthpieces, both small and the "fat mouthpiece".
It keeps the joints from sticking together. Good luck. Happy vaping. Doc

Thanks, Doc! I'll look into these. Sounds like it'd be good to have on hand in any case.
Does the Nona VonG only wobble in the glass in one direction? You can check this by rotating the VonG in the glass and seeing if the direction of the wobble follows the rotation. If it remains in the same direction despite rotating it is not the VonG but the glass.
More than likely it's the VonG that has taken on an oval shape due to the nature of wood grain. The end grain is much harder and loses material slower during sanding than attacking the wood in other grain orientations. It's something that I work very hard to avoid when making my VonGs and often is a cause for rejection of a piece into the scrap pile.

@VaporMifflin to add to the already great set of suggestions...
when I got my OV I had the same issue...the price I got FOR the OV is too short for the vong body to fit and now is mated with a hopper.
The D020 I have had the problem you mentioned. I did something a little more crude...
i just lubed the body of the OV and gave it a light push to make it seal better...its never been 100% and I don't expect it to be, but it is at 95%
which is good enough for use.
@Winegums I'm sure even your 'scrap pile' would have some desirability

The beauty of the steel core in my pieces is that the "scrap pile" really doesn't grow or exist. I remove the failed wood blank, (usually in a very destructive manner) and reuse the steel core in a new piece.
Hey all, new member here. I have a few quick noob questions for you cap guys. How can you be sure these things are actually vaporizing? If combustion occurs at +450F it seems like a very fine margin to play with. Also, are the caps consistent over time? has anyone seen a cap start clicking at combustion temperatures with extended use?

The difference between vaping and combusting is easy to determine live. Smoke is QUITE different than vapor. Trust me when I tell you that you will know...
I must say that occasionally I do get vapor so thick I check to see if I combusted, but invariably I did not. Ash is pretty obvious when you see it (black not tan or brown) and the taste of combustion is also pretty clear.

Welcome aboard! Suggest you get reading and also learn to use the search function at the top of every page. Note you can check a box to search only this thread. A good place to start reading is probably the Best of thread. That, and check out @Squiby 's post throughout (you can search in just this thread by username also). She knows her shit with these!
As to your specific questions here:
"How can you be sure these things are actually vaporizing?" - As long as you respect the click and heat at the appropriate points on the cap, you won't combust. Lose track and don't pay attention, you'll miss the click and roast. Happens to all of us at least once! RESPECT THE CLICK! In the other direction, they produce vapor very well. There are different techniques, but when using as most do (as in directions) you'll get one light very flavorful first hit, hits 2 & 3 should be solid, full and tasty, hit 4 (often requiring a quick stir) will get porcorny, but worthwhile IMO. Depending on technique, lighter used, strain, where you heat on cap, and a couple other factors, these things may change a bit - but usually not too much.
"If combustion occurs at +450F it seems like a very fine margin to play with." - Fine margin is where you want to be, right? Great vapor extraction with no combustion. VC does it many times a week, every week, for me and MANY others.
"Also, are the caps consistent over time? has anyone seen a cap start clicking at combustion temperatures with extended use?" - Yes, consistent over time. No, don't think anyone has had temp changes on clicks over time - at least none reported here - and think this would be. I have one cap that has been in the rotation for more than a year. Still all good. Biggest problems with cap are: repeated overheating can cause them to fail - sometimes, easy to lose, easy to bend, sometimes tight or loose on tip - but easy to give a little bend to correct either, very thin so don't sand through them!
oh ok, so if the herb combusts at all it will be black? I worry that it would be easy to torch one of these caps to 500F and still have somewhat vaped looking herb in the chamber afterwards.
Thanks for the welcome monss and sweet piece.

You can "singe" a load where the edges are dark brown, but if you actually combust it should be black.
I wanted to add that the difference in taste is clearly more obvious to those of us who NEVER smoke anymore, but I think it is likely obvious to everyone...

@Winegums, I'll check the wiggle room when I get home.
@WakeAndVape, thanks for the tip. I'll be trying this as well.

Yes, combustion will turn weed (and nearly everything else!) black. No black = all good.
It is very easy to torch a cap to over 500F, if you keep heating past the click. And, that herb will be well "vaped" looking, and then some (including black specs - at least).
I get being concerned. I even kind of get the adversity to reading. But, am a bit offended at the insinuation that we're vaping into combustion and think we're not. Combined vaping experience of just the regulars on this thread is probably at least 100 years (a hard mark to find even in many of the popular threads on this forum). It seems all are in agreement that we're vaping and not combusting with MANY of these vapes in use. Why the worry? You know something we're missing?

@flotntoke he said he's new, i seriously doubt he was trying to offend anyone.
i think he doesnt understand how it works, and cant rationalize in his brain how it works.
@kwent86 watch some videos, buy one for yourself, we promise you, it works like advertised, you'll understand it more once you have some hands on experience..
