Dynavap VapCap

[I'm Ron Burgundy?]

Man ya’ll have some lovely modded DynaVaps

​

Here’s my 18M cap + Ti tip and water wand. PSM for heat source with D020 bubbler in the background.

About to take liftoff

Congratulations, roonsy! I wish I could have started with the Omni but couldn't swing the extra $$ right now. I upgraded to the Shadow instead of the standard M instead.

I've only had it a couple days and I'm loving it! Of course, I'm already looking to modify, change it to an XL by adding the spinning mp kit. It's just so darn small! The XL will fit my XL hands a bit better.

 

[-dab8-]

I'm sure I'll end up with more models in time anyway

Truer words were never spoken.

Run for your life.

Run.

 

[paehtod]

With XL length and spinning mp, the vapcap will rotate in your hand like motor~ fast and steady~

Weird discovery that I can’t explain. I get higher from two half caps back to back than one full cap start to finish.

That has to be a fluke, right?

Any science for why that would be a thing? Dose of fresh temps halfway through instead of all at the beginning?

if by fluke, you mean a one off... Then no.

I use the smallest (50%) bowl for exactly this reason. The full bowl just doesn't get me nearly twice the effects of the small bowl. So I'd rather spread it out over two bowls.
But in reality I rarely re-pack immediately for a second round..

good choice, love the way the Shadow looks.

Yes I have found the same thing. Coming from smoking J's I started filling the whole chamber as much as I could. Then realized that putting less amounts the vapor production and the hits were better. I ended up as @mrb suggests, adjusting the screen to 50 % and not packing tight the material (I use mostly hash), to get the best results. I believe as happens with fire and combustion, that for a small given chamber, a proportion of air is needed in relation to the mass to be, in this case, vaporized. I also think that the pocket of air that lies beneath the screen, ie, 50% of the camber, helps to get the most out of it.

Long story short, when loading you VC, the more is not the better, IME.

Now this is indeed interesting. Very interesting. I just tried it with half of a bowl in the TI tip (without adjusting the screen, because my fine-motor skills are not the best) and the first hit already took me where a full cap takes me normally. This requires many further tests, empirical data has to be collected. Science, here we go! Thank you all for giving me another reason to pursue my passion!

//Edit, 10mins later:
This is really fascinating. The semi bowl does not only give me the same (if not more) effects than the full bowl. I get the same amount of heating cycles and at least the same amount of clouds (as if that would be important, but still). And it tastes better than a full bowl, because the material seems to be spent before the "roasting" of the last 1-2 cycles of a full bowl happens. I will continue my scientific studies now....

 

[mrb]

Well now I know it’s not just me. . . Perhaps others can also pester dynavap to release a Ti-tip designed specifically for the smallest bowl size.

All it would require is a hair less material removed from inside the bowl, past the first screen position. Like 0.2mm so the screen easily stops in the first (or in this case Only) screen position/groove.

It would alter the thermal properties a smidgen, but given how similar the last 2 or 3 generations of tip have been I can’t believe it would be a negative factor.

 

[Sativapo]

Personnally I read this "less is more" thing before but I couldn't verify it with the small chamber. Maybe with the intermediary setting the heating cycle and vapor are kind of similar but with the smallest chamber setting I get 2 very effective heating cycles and the third is already very weak. with full or intermediary chamber I get 4 or 5 heating cycles. This is logical (more weed = more surface = more vapor) of course but I expected a miracle reading some comments :-) I don't find it difficult to set the screen in all 3 settings.

“Long story short, when loading you VC, the more is not the better, IME.”

Like Big Brother used to say @Campos, back in ‘84, “Less is more”. LOL

 

[Dynavaper]

Haha! I am such a Stoner...

Spoiler

I just remembered that we had that 1/2 bowl thing already some hundred pages in the past and I was as much fascinated back then, as I am now.

Spoiler

No idea why I forgot about this and when or why I returned to full bowl again.
Probably because...

Spoiler

One of the best things about Cannabis for me is that it lets me forget.
So many new great things to discover every single day!

Spoiler

By the way: Could somebody please tell that dolphin to stop combusting and start vaping?

 

[Hogni]

Alzheimer disease would be a cheaper and more effective option for that

But where's the fun then?

Fun? Who needs fun? Hedonist!

Guilty as charged.

I was pretty amazed last night. I didn’t change anything else. Same material I’ve been using for a while, that had been ground up into a jyarz classic.

Previously I had been packing a full cap every time. This time I decided to only pack it halfway. I have stopped messing with screen positions, so the screen is at the largest setting always (may get some of those small clips sometime to see if I can get the screen to stay at half).

One cool thing about two 1/2 bowls instead of one larger one is that I got two flavor hits. I’m a flavor chaser, so I don’t care about clouds, I care about flavor and effects. And speaking of effects...

I felt GREAT yesterday!

So, variables:

-Increased airflow from two 1/2 bowls vs one full
-Fresh terp hit halfway through the experience rather than only in the beginning
-Possibly experience was spread over a slightly longer time period, although I don’t think this was much different at all. I can normally get 4, sometimes almost 5, hits from a full bowl, and only attempted 2 from each half bowl. This could also be a factor, see next point.
-Possible that though smaller amounts, different effects achieved through less heating cycles because some of the “sleepier cannabinoids” weren’t completely vaporized? I DID make sure my material was around the same color, but like I said, it seemed to get there faster. Wouldn’t have dreamed of taking the smaller bowls to 4-5 cycles based on the color I saw.


It was, even more so than normally, such an uplifting experience. At one point while watching impractical jokers (comedy tv show) I even got the giggles like I haven’t since MANY years ago when I first started smoking cannabis.

I am not able to prove this wasn’t a fluke, there are still factors like my state of mind going into it, my level of fatigue, etc., but based on my experience and the testimony of others here, it is absolutely something I will be exploring further.

Better effects and TWO flavor hits???

What’s not to love!!!

 

[mrb]

Yeah on small bowls i only ever look for 3 cycles. And depending on different factors i usually expect the first or last to be a bit wimpy. With the other two being great vapour full hits.

I'm overseas right now and being forced to spend some time with the M tip I brought over with me..
I really can't ever get these things to perform nearly as well as the Titanium. I'm getting high for sure, but I rarely get the kind of juicy big hits i have come to expect from my Ti-Tips.
Tried different heating methods, different lighters, adjusted my bowl size... The M tip has never "clicked" with me.

 

[ubardog]

improving on the 1/2 I found that if i put nothing in my bowl . Then i can hit it all day and never run out of flower. I think this is more efficant than packing 1/2 a bowl. only problem is the flavour is gone before the 1st hit. I have found it impossable to get medicated with tec thou.

So improving on this theory i used some flower to pack out the already filled empty bowl. A bit like how you would used Hemp fiber or a glass spacer. This gave me a more flavourful hit. I also felt some effects

Try itt you might like it

 

[WoodVillain]

Learned that years ago...

Smoked blunts until an old hippie saw me rolling one... he told me to use that same amount of weed but to roll 3 small joints instead... I humored him and gave it a go.... I was higher before finishing the 2nd joint...

Never rolled another blunt, and in time my joints got smaller and smaller...





Unrelated... but I was supposed to have surgery this morning to remove some lead shrapnel from my foot.... got there and found out they can't do it until tomorrow... fasted for nothing.

But here's a pretty cool xray.... the bone is comminuted, meaning fractured in multiple places, and you can see where the lead is stuck between the bones.

And back on topic..... the omni and some herb has been my only pain relief, despite a full script of percocet sitting here, the omni does a better job getting me medicated without serious nausea and stomach pain.

Love my omni!

You definitely need some medicine my friend...

Ah nice! I used to be an x-ray tech many moons ago, so I still like seeing them. Hope your surgery goes well.

 

[Squiby]

Different strokes for different folks.

I too prefer the titanium tips and I am a microdoser. In keep my screen at the largest setting and put a little bit in there and just let it bounce around as I heat and toke. Less is way more in my opinion. This vaporizer is astonishingly efficient. It's like magic. A tiny nug every hour or so gives me the most pleasurable highs. I have no pain, I'm productive, happy and just feeling really great.

Whenever I start increasing the amount of herb in my tip I notice that I am not getting more effect, even through bouts of severe pain of nausea, less is always more. I may toke up a bit more frequently but I've learned not to stuff the tip.
Don't be a tip stuffer. Conserve your weed and get more with less.

That's my tale and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Whisper]

@WoodVillain Good luck with your surgery. Omni and rest, it's what the doctor
should have ordered!!
