Oh! Maybe this is old news, but it was news to me. Found out American helix actually developed the grav labs helix also. Grav brought the developer into their company for a while, and when they went there separate ways, decided to continue paying him royalties to use it.
Fascinating! I had no idea, and am thrilled to learn this. Thank you for this fun fact.

That's a new mini bubbler by EHLE, the "Qualmei" H 60mm W 50mm ID intake 8mm with carb hole

Does anyone know if the current Dynavaps come with steel or titanium condensers? The Dynabuilder or the shop does not list condenser material. And is there any noticable/practical difference between them?

The Ms are all stainless steel and come with a stainless steel condenser.

All others; Uni VonGs, Omnis and al la carte are all made from titanium.

I personally can not tell the difference.

If there was noticeable difference it would be that the Titanium Condenser would heat up faster and condense less vapour. So you might have to clean it slightly less frequently.

So all condensers that are sold at the DV store are actually titanium condensers except the condensers that come with the M? All mouthpiece-condenser combos are all titanium (in the parts section of the shop)?

Vaposhop (i.e.) has standard steel and standard titanium condensers. Verdampftnochmal only steel condensers. Azarius has also both lengths in both materials.

Somehow confusing.

While Will designed the classic Helix, and the Helix concept, Dave founded Grav Labs and the Gravitron, a glass water gravity pipe.


Their bifurcation occurred after having different mission objectives, with Will having more of an artistic bent, while Dave was a bit more pragmatic.

Will’s product line has a bit more finesse, albeit a bit pricey. Dave’s line has more heft.

Today’s snail mail should deliver a package containing the small Solo helix which is more pocket friendly
made by Will’s American Helix. An eye candy.

Another package is expected from Dave’s Upline series next week.

We shall see.

Had one of those—now somewhere in my room. Not only looks nice, it also had a nice feel when using it.

That looks pretty neat. Does it filter through water or just dry diffusion?
I'd love to pair my M with exactly this kind of compact, glass diffuser mouthpiece (hope that's the right terminology). Would you guys recommend this one or any similar alternatives? Basically I like the thought of visible vapour when I'm drawing, other than the cooling.

(Bear with me. Being new to the world of vaping and glass rigs, I am just full of questions.)

Hi, Maal! If you look around, there are many possibilities, according to you taste, and pocket.

If you like the hypnotic effect of seeing the vapor, this might just strike your fancy

Under <$3, 10mm joint, to boot.
Free shipping from DHGate, to sweeten the deal. :sherlock:

Yes, you can use water. You do need to hold it vertically when using water.
It holds just a tiny bit of water, maybe a teaspoon-full, but that is enough to make the vapor very pleasant.
I also like this small water tool, different mouthpiece style. Also best held verticallly.

And this tiny little thing is remarkably effective

Got a magic box (probably will stock my glasses in there), used all the stickers i had with my vaporisers' purchases:
only absent is Dynavap... i bought two of their devices though.
They should give some marketing material to the shop that sell their vaporisers.
Visibility is important, especially when you have to teach people out of combustion, "civilising" is worth a couple of free stickers :leaf:

A possibility?

I like this combo

So, there are many, many possibilities, limited only by one’s imagination.

Very nice water piece, Theorist, ma’am. & that string with a bead, that is very fitting of you.

Had one of those—now somewhere in my room. Not only looks nice, it also had a nice feel when using it.

Out of curiosity, where could I get such a water piece? I'm looking for the smallest one I can find for when I'm on the go and I've never seen that, but looks right up my alley.

Thanks guys! These are pretty much what I was thinking of. I like @DDave's vapcap cooler v3. But DHgate seems to have crazy variety, and the lower prices are very appealing, since I'm just trying things out at this point. Also, shipping to India is often either unavailable or prohibitively expensive. DHgate is good that way.

@stark1, is there a major difference in quality of glass (i.e. fragility) between the Chinese and the branded stuff like?

@StringTheorista, this silicone bubbler is super interesting. My biggest issue with glass pieces is my own clumsiness, so this seems ideal. Now my only concerns would be ease of cleaning and flavour getting affected. What's your experience with silicone bubblers?

I like this combo

Sweet glass stem! Vapcaps really are open-source hardware.

So, there are many, many possibilities, limited only by one’s imagination.
Sadly, also limited by budget and availability in my case :)

Look for honeybird/hummingbird nectar collector on the web (eBay, Amazon, etc). DaVinci also
Market them for their iQ. Be forewarned that it may cost up to $80. :hmm:

However, if you have patience, the Chinese market (DHGate, etc) sells the same item for about
Half that. or less. :cool:

As for the difference between Chinese glass, and American made borosicate glassware, there is
Certainly a difference in quality in most cases, and in price.

Grav has 9mm, 12mm, and 16mm chillums.

The smallest joint on most water bubblers is 14mm.

Bummer.

But. You have a possible solution.

A 14mm to 10mm adapter, and Walla!


If you mean by “GravCap”, this: this could be one. 12mm, with 2mm walls.

It’s neutral in flavor. Combustion is an issue, as silicone picks up all smells. I can tell you from other experience, with silicone ice cube trays, that funky odors can be removed by baking silicone items (assuming they are safe to high temps) in a 350 degree oven for a while. I may also try this technique with food grade silicone tubing from ddave that I combusted in

The Eyce silicone bubbler pairs well with a vapcap by removing the glass bowl. Super easy to clean, as the top pops right off. Wish it came in better colors...

@Twerpene, this is what that glass piece is. I found it randomly in a local shop for half that, because I think someone sold the rest of a kit.
