Dynavap VapCap

[RogueGuy]

@rnartian I have found that when people decide they are done with DV, they are done!! I was planning on picking up a Vortex so this hit at the right time.

I'm killing birds and popping cherries! Picked up this bundle from a user on VLF.

@stark1 well he said it was a radio but i think its one of those new fangled electric lighters. I guess i'll figure it out when it arrives.

I bought the bundle for the Vortex, Tips and that radio thingy. The Diamondbacks, @DDave wand and other goodies are just icing on the cake.

Was kidding. Being a potable kind of EDC guy,
never met a radio with a tail before that I didn’t like. Hic!

If you decide to part with some of tha “icing”, like the clear coil sidewinder, HMU.

Good law7764

@stark1 yah portable would be nice but since the majority of my vaping happens at home i figure corded will be ok.

I might hit you with the sidewinder. While it seems fun, i dont see it getting a lot of use.

Reely, if your first experience with mag heaters was a @Pipes makers mark, magnetic induction
would be
Totally memorable....

You spend a bit of ka-Ching, but it looks like you can make some of it back. Plus,
Eat your cake.

Looking forward to your PP invoice.

Wowww I’ve never seen it so quiet here!? Is everyone celebrating Pattycakes and the Chiefs?

Just sold my barely used 19M...so that I can buy another 18M...

 

[TommyDee]

And why would you do that? Just curious.

Lol I didnt realize it was you who scooped that. Lol. Good for you man. Def was a steal. Just got my self a replacement green tip. Not as nice of a score as you but im pretty happy

I’m not sure if you were referring to someone else or me, @TommyDee! If you were asking why I prefer the 18M over the 19M, I copy pasted just cause it’s easier!

The 18M is extremely restrictive with the carb covered, it would be tough to get satisfying vapour. Whereas the 19M has a much more “open” airflow with the carb covered. You can also pinch the “rocker” on the 19M to get little bits of cool vapour mixed in.

The airflow of the 18M without the carb covered is slightly restricted, yet you can actually create thick vapour without even touching it. Whereas the airflow of the 19M (without touching the carb) is wide open and it’s tough to get thick knee-buckling vapour.

Interesting. I use a RWW robusto that has a carb hole. I thought I would prefer the hole, but now tend to keep it covered. I'll open it at the very end of a hit, but it's really no different in my mind than just drawing in a little more air before exhaling.

I think my preference changed when I began using the mouthpull technique that @Squiby has outlined in the past. The extra resistance is negated by the fact that you're not trying to draw into your lungs, just the pressure needed to do a "cigar type" draw into your mouth first. In fact, I'm looking forward to trying my old 2nd gen tips which have built-in resistance. Trying to do lung pulls with the DV was exhausting.

My increased use of the DV has completely messed up my Fury 2 technique. For me, the Fury 2 is a lung pull unit. I do a slow consistent draw right into the lungs. However, now I find myself trying unconsciously to do mouthpulls on the Fury 2 which doesn't work well. I end up snorting vapor out of my nose.

Two different vapes, two very different techniques.

Interesting...cigar puffs? So a mouth to lung technique?

My local shop still has 18Ms for $50 bones!

Here's one of @Squiby 's previous posts as a reference:

I don't know your experience with vapes and various degrees of air restriction, so my answer can be quite subjective.

Compared to the earlier tip models the new 2019 M SS tip has improved air flow. But it is quite restricted with the air port covered because you are pulling air through the exterior tip channels under the cap. This can be adjusted a bit by squeezing your cap out of round by placing a finger on either side of the cap; one just above the digger outter and one on the opposite side. Squeeze firmly but gently, test fit and repeat if necessary. The cap should fit snuggly and be slightly out of round.

You can also adjust the air flow by the degree with which you cover the air port. Some people will feather the air port with their finger to intermittently add cooling fresh air with less restriction.

If you want to hold your finger over the air port, I suggest that you adopt a mouthpulling technique rather than inhaling vapor straight into your lungs. To mouthpull, draw vapor into your mouth, pulling with your checks. It is similar to the action of drawing liquid into your mouth through a straw. Once you've finished your draw and the vapor is in your mouth you can either uncover the air port and inhale or you can remove the VapCap from your mouth and inhale fresh clean air into your lungs along with the vapor.

I’m so curious - how does the potency of the dynavap compare to a log vape? Both are microdosers. I know log vapes are primarily convection. I love the conduction aspect of the dynavap though - I feel it adds to the body stone??

But I’m guessing log vapes taste better with the open end + primarily convection draw. More interested in the differences in potency? (and to a lesser extent efficiency!)

 

[stark1]

Potency is in the herb, quality dependent.
If you mean is a log a cloud maker, I would say not.

I have an RZ, and love the taste from the low heat, slow roast,
No harsh, hot to my lungs hit.

No H2O, or cooling twist needed.





Have the exact unit ( not my pix )

I really like the vapcap in "mouth to lung" mode ...
I recently discovered it ... very good!

I'm looking to upgrade my M with a longer metal stem. I have looked into the vortex and want to pull the trigger so badly, but I was wondering if there were any better or comparable options? Perhaps long. Thanks!

 

[TommyDee]

@The Maker - I still find my wooden stems to be very effective at cooling at around 5" of free-length before reaching the mouth.
I also find that this configuration doesn't rob me of very much vape honey either.

If you're only after more length, your M body + XL condenser and a mouthpiece will save you some $$$

Length isn't necessarily what I'm after. I'm looking for a cool hit without any glass.

vortex stem is actually slightly longer than the omni xl stem if that is any help. the hits are quite cool and dense!!

Thanks! Really leaning towards the vortex. I like the simple design, don't need to clean as regularly as the Omni, and from what I have read is that is cooler.

i got mine on his black friday sale...the vortex and a good induction heater really makes the dynavap shine!!

Built an induction heater a couple months back!

Sounds to me like you've already made your decision, friend.

 

[wombat24]

After rockin' my 19M for the last 6 months, today I took delivery of my second instalment. I went with a Hydravong XLS with a Ti mouthpiece ( I thought about an omnivap but my dream is that there will be a new model by the time the 420 sales come around). So happy with the upgrade, my trepidation of dealing with a Ti tip for the first time soon disappeared. Two things I immediately noticed was the rapid fire clicks - almost on top of each other, compared to the M and I also thought the flavour profile was better on the low temp hits.

So my planned progression is M, vong, omni, simrell?? A bit unsure about the vortex, I've seen reviews that say it's next level and others that say it's overpriced and overrated. Ideally I would like to try before I buy.

And of course then there's the stems....

 

[stark1]

You can try an experiment.

Cut a few thin strips of thin SS to 7mm, put in vise, and gently twist a few turns.

Cut to fit in your 8mm ID stem.

Go crazy.

And tell us what you think of your newly fabricated vortex stem.

A budget friendly experiment.

(You will have change left over to get an OMNI)
