Cool. Thanks for this info. Definitely will help in making a decision.@dodgy_b First, let me welcome you to the DynaVerse on behalf of all of us afflicted with DVAS (Dynavap Vaporiser Acquisition Syndrome).
The reason why the Blackwood and Cocobolo Woods are no longer sold on the official dynavap website is because George wants, and says he always intended, to take the company in an environmentally conscious sustainable direction.
The issue with these exotic woods is that they often come from places like Africa, Central America, South America, etc. Places that have little regulation. Sometimes loggers will just cut roads through pristine ecosystems to get to one tree because of how rare, desirable and therefore profitable it is.
Environmental destruction aside, these types of logging operations also often abuse workers and indigenous people.
They now offer Light and Dark wood options sourced locally to them in the USA.
Therefore, if you want a Blackwood or Cocobolo body/stem/mp then get one now while third party sellers still have stock.
The internal ethical conflict you may have by purchasing one of these woods is something you’ll have to deal with on your own.
I studied environmental science at university but I have to admit I have a XL Blackwood nonavong and I’m about to purchase a Cocobolo stem
The Walnut they are now offering is nice though and one of my favourite woods for furniture. I can see a walnut vapcap and stash in my future
P.S. I do know that there are small growers of African Blackwood in Florida, so there are potential sustainable sources that can be investigated for future supply.
And naturally:
Sorry, my only buddy that still drinks domestic swill doesn’t drink Bud...

I love the ones that flip out when you press the button. Gives me a good place to rest the vap while spinning it. Assuming the flame control goes low enough to allow itI hate flip-caps on lighters that aren't removable. And if you hand me one of those shitty lighters where the cap flips open and closed every time you hit the button, like a damn woodpecker, and I'm going to go destroy that piece of shit.
Flippy caps are annoying and just in the way.
Did I shared that the LE 7-fins tip is very very very nice/suitable for water? the most open air flow compare to gen 5 or ss tip, extract the material completely in 2 heat cycles with my high temp cap. My butane vape collection have been grow up a very little bit, but vapcap still my DD out and about, King of convenience/efficiency
here is a video the LE tip with @Winegums 14mm stem hitting with Jobon triple torch, my fav torch for ti tip.

That’s a pretty slick stem. What’s the tool you’re using to take the hot cap off?
I want to share something about the magnet, got all these strong magnet and all in wrong direction.
Found a ID 11mm x 2mm thick SS washer can help to fix the problem very good.
I found that the cap actually are not magnetic but the bi-metal discs inside the cap would do the job. So when the cap attached to the magnet, the discs inside the cap stop rattled.
It hold the cap not only the flat top surface but also attached to the side.
2018 M is waiting in customs for me to pay the fees, which are almost as much as if i had bought a Ti tip outright. Boo!
Ah well, tis a shame that between customs and international debit card fees its just not viable to order directly from Dynavap, even with the great sales they put on. Ah well.
Where is this? When they release the IH, whenever that will be, I will probably order it directly from Dynavap, but don't wanna get slapped with some crazy customs fees. I live in the UK.
I live in the UK and can confirm that you will be stung by customs fees ordering directly from Dynavap. I purchased a XL nonavong and Xl dynastash with the usual bits and pieces (o rings, etc.) and my customs fee was around £50/$70.
Thankfully, you can now order most dynavap things from TheHedonistClub, Vapefiend and Vaposhop (until we leave the EU and customs laws change).

Now, I’m no brewer or anything like that, in fact, although I do enjoy alcohol it was never really my thing... but didn’t the Germans feel compelled to outlaw such blasphemy over 500 years ago with the Reinheitsgebot...?Bud is actually the last macro domestic brew that actually uses real rice as an adjunct, cereal cookers, and a traditional mashing (as well as lagering) process--and not liquid corn syrup to lighten their pilsner recipe... (other brands/products are basically half fermented corn syrup).
Not that the beers, or the or the homemade bowl, tastes much different either way...
