Dynavap VapCap

[mrb]

^^^ I don't actually have an omni. But all it really does is allow you to restrict/regulate the air flow without having to 'finger' the carb. And depending on you preference this may or may not be something you want.

I've been a very happy dynavap user for about a month now... And I've moved from initially liking the carb fully closed.. to keeping it half closed with a little metal ring/clip i fashioned... And now I've settled on having my finger closing the carb for the first second or two of the draw and then just lifting off for a nice 'wide open' draw to finish the hit.

I find a second of 'carb closed draw' at the start really helps get the vapor flowing, but ultimately i enjoy the wide open air flow. Restricting the carb make the draw a less relaxing process for me.
Now assuming my current method continues to be my preferred method, there is little point in buying the omni. But if i had stuck with the half closed method, an omni would have been a good solution...

My point is - you should possibly get a bit of experience under your belt to decide if you think a permanently restricted/adjusted airflow is going to be something that will benefit you..

Hope that all made sense. Happy Dynavaping!

You can "singe" a load where the edges are dark brown, but if you actually combust it should be black.

My personal definition is slightly different: I say if there's no ash then it's not combustion.

I agree with @ClearBlueLou, combustion means ash production.

I have had fully-charred bowls, like I said - not a lot, but more of them than I've produced ashes in

Same here, especially when going for single hits from a bubbler or outdoor with windy weather.

remind me to stop by your house!

you sound like a great host...hell my friends won't even offer me grape drink!

Anytime! My home has an open invitation to all Vapcappers; they're the best kind of people

Do you load those all up at once then use through out the day?

I usually choose 4 to load at a time. I like to rotate strains a lot and I'm too forgetful to remember what I put in each cap . I've tried filling them all a few times but I usually just end up playing Dynavap roulette.. Is this one full? No. Is this one full...

It's nice pulling out a surprise Vapcap that past you filled though!

 

[Squiby]

Also, i understand many of you are using an hemp fiber to filter the condenser on VapCaps - how does this trick work? any other suggestions on how to use these little beasts at their best?

The thread linked below will provide some additional details to help you. Good luck with your Vapcap!

I want to upgrade from my M but dont want to buy the full collection... if the Omni is significantly better i'll buy but i hope i will not need to buy the woody as well. If the Woody is as good as the Omni i'll surely go there...

As mentioned, the M is an all stainless steel, entry level Vapcap that is meant to replace the one piece glass tipped/body OG, the least expensive Vapcap of the line up.

People often suspect that performance must incrementally change from model to model. Although there are slight differences, all Vapcaps are exceptional vaporizer. I don't think choosing one model over another is about performance so much. I think it's about cost, function, aesthetics and appreciation for finely crafted art over a basic build.

The M is the next least expensive Vapcap at $50. It has a stainless steel construction, including the tip. It is a wonderful vaporizer but it is rudimentary in its design and engineering compared to the titanium tipped series of Vapcaps. Although you can switch out the stainless steel stem for other stems or Body/mp combinations, it does not have full modularity. For example, the Omni condenser will not function properly with the M tip. The ss tip is not quite as robust as the ti tip and has fewer, more shallow exterior air channels. The M is a fantastic economical adventure into the land of the Vapcaps. Everyone should have one. Delight your friends and family by gifting them. Think stocking stuffers.

The ti tipped series of Vapcaps offer full modularity. The price starts at around $80 for a Ti Woody to the top of the line burl Omni $180. Buying one will take you on a deep dive into accessory bliss. LEGO for stoners. You don't have to buy all the models, but with parts you can have any one at any time. The titanium tip is more finely crafted and precision engineered than the stainless steel M tip. It has an more air channels and they are wider and deeper. There is an additional oring on the tip neck that creates a tighter fit onto the condenser and into the body or stem. The chamber has interior ridges that allow you to adjust your bowl size. I think that the 4th and 5th gen ti tips also offer a much higher convection ratio.

The full modularity of the ti tipped Vapcaps mean that you can switch up bodies and stems, straight or VonGs, mouthpieces and condensers. You can add an Omni condenser and achieve full dialled customized air flow.

The all metal, mostly titanium Omnivap is the top of the line Vapcap. It is a beast. The build is extremely solid and beautifully engineered with incredibly tight tolerances and should be considered and appreciated as a work of art. The Omnivap is beautiful. The Omni condenser/mp is not only a precision milled component which offers a set it and forget it airflow, perfect for water pieces, but it's robust core offers additional strength to the overall device. You can run over your Omni with your car but I don't think the M or the Woody would fare so well.

Cautious folks should start with the M IMO. Those that have been hooked by the M or those that want an example of finely crafted piece of indestructible precision workmanship might dive headlong into the Omni. Wood lovers should go for the Woody's for their lovely wood spinning mouthpieces and stunning midsections.

Thanks for the invite!!

I usually load 3 or 4 at a time, too. I try to load no more than one strain in 2 of those, and am pretty good at keeping track as long as they all get pulled from my bag that day. Try to keep sativas or "up" hybrids in green tubes; indica types in purple, but it doesn't always come out like that - especially if I'm in a hurry. Sometimes I have a well liked strain in my refill jar, so will just reload whichever is up, sometimes I "overpack" for that day's journey. I always seem to forget by the next day (or 2) and have given up trying to figure it out, but usually know which tubes have mystery loads. This makes a fun game of VC roulette!

But, I should try to keep track of the heavier indicas. Last week I had my M loaded with Charlie Murphy and thought it was a sativa dominant. Knew I was wrong on first hit (so dark and grapy!), but couldn't resist and other VCs were 1/2 hour walk away. Made for an interesting night at the bar! Luckily I was able to get an espresso, but man I was glad I was on foot and that my refill jar on hand was a less dopey hybrid. Only real downside was that I had to walk way down the block away from the ciggy smokers due to purple exhales.

Guess I could have taken a dry hit before we left for the bar, and been able to tell it was the CM. But, where would the fun be in that? VC Roulette FTW!!! Thought I was the only one who played like this, but glad to know there are others. Just make sure it isn't going to matter when you get to where you're going. Had to meet with some non-users for dinner a few months ago and had a similar situation. I didn't even finish first heat. Had to go with no vapor until we parted ways. And, have found new or seldom VC using friends really enjoy the citrusy flavors found in hazes and similar.

I've ordered 2 M's: I intend to get my 70 year old mother switched from smoking to vaping, so I ordered one for myself to learn this device, and one for her.

My DD is a Firefly2. I have a couple of questions about the M:

What is the best grind consistency for this vape? Coarser, or finer?

Also, what's the best %RH to keep herb at for the M? I store mine with 58% Boveda packs currently.

TIA.

 

[Ricardo]

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...

Yeah. I tried to convert a friend the other day, a guy who has quit smoking cigarettes but smokes hash mixed with tobacco joints. He was a bit nervous in case he got too high, I was a bit nervous because I didn't want my daughter to walk in on us.... I should have prepared it better... Anyway, he got a nice first hit but combusted the second one... we didn't hear the click!! I saw it flare orange just as he hit it Being an occasional smoker he didn't seem to mind (I gave it a full clean up afterwards). Anyways, he said he got a nice buzz off my one third capacity setup and I think he was fairly happy with the experience, but I am not sure that VapCaps are really made for sharing

A medium coarse grind works for me, mainly for helping to keep down the little bits that make it through the CCD. Basically I do a SCS 4 pc. upright to create the largest grind for that grinder. Pre-grind, I store my herb in C-Vaults with 62% Boveda packs, works well with all of my VC's. My weekly grind goes into a Vitality Glass 50ml widemouth that I got from 420edc.com, and my daily carry goes in a Doob Tube.

i use a medium grind, but have shoved whole nug pieces in there as well and either way works great.

i also use boveda packs, but at 62%, your 58% should be just fine

I don't know all the scientific numbers so excuse me...

But the M can take any type of grind. packing buds will give better flavor, but will require a stir.

fine ground material produces vapor faster and bakes the load more evenly.

either will work and the drier the bud the better...but if it's has any moisture the first heat cycle usually zaps it.

And there goes @Squiby our walking Best Of thread. For all or any of y'all looking to get the scoop or who need any help figuring this all out, follow Squiby's posts. She is the Bee's Knees and the explainer in chief. Bill Clinton has nothing on her...

 

[Dynalowrider]

Folks, there are as many ways to use this system, as there are people trying to use it. Just pick someone who is at least as knowledgeable, or Squiby herself, and follow their advice. If you do you will find your own way to use this system. Just Do It, don't try to overthink it. JUST DO IT, and experiment. You will learn very fast. Doc

 

[DirtyD]

I agree. Just read 'the holy Sqib-le' it showed me the WAY..... D.

 

[WakeAndVape]

I think we call ALL agree ...@Squiby knows her shit.

She taught me a thing or two about a thing or two.

I just test drove the M: oh WOW.

Nice small chamber - 0.7g to fill nicely, which is about 25% less than my FF2.

What a nice, dense hit of vapour. I dumped the bud after 1 to have a look, and it's the most evenly, perfectly toasted of any vape I've used. Better than the FF2 and Air. I did reload it for another, and it was just as good as the first. I suspect this load would be totally done after 3 cycles.

The flavour is a little less pure and pronounced than from the FF2. I will experiment with the spot I heat on the cap to try a slightly cooler vape next time.

This thing is just so beautiful in it's simplicity, and the performance is honestly better than I expected. It's impressive to be sure.

I'm also confident that I can get dear ol' Mom to put down her pipe for this.

.07?? .7 must be a typo haha

 

[CanadianBakin]

That's quite a stunning collection, @Prolusio. I would have a hard time deciding which one to use. Using them all is probably the best choice.

After getting a few more bits and pieces in the sale, here's my current lineup.

More pictures of the log in the WoodScents thread.

 

[WarpaintFree]

The more I look at this little thing, the more genius it seems.

My FF2 is like a smartphone for vaping. The DynaVap M is like a great hand tool; a chisel or knife for example.

Simple, robust, cheap (relatively), effective. It's like the Glock of vapes.

I would just LOVE an explanation on the voodoo science behind how they designed the cap/tip interface, tolerances and calibration.

The inventor has my serious respect.

a wonderful summation well said.

I can't agree that M is rudimentary: it IS absolutely a basic, no-frills design - but that was after all the design and engineering that went into ALL EARLIER VERSIONS. After crawling up the learning curve from the OG, through the Woodies and all the tip refinements, etc, to the Omni, they then went back to the drawing board and said 'how do we make the fundamental design even better?'

That's a lot of development effort and product history and engineering put into M's design: they've transformed their baseline product based entirely on their successes, and it's selling like crazy. Everything Dynavap has learned so far from their very successful R&D-based business has been distilled into making their base product as elegant, seamless and satisfactory as possible, even for first-timers.

Just my 20 euro...

Actually, I believe that most of the answer to your question is in this thread... somewhere in the previous 643 pages.
