When DV started to “turn” to wood aesthetically, practically, and alternatively
From fragile glass, there was a learning curve.
The beautifully turned stems, and bodies, to the horror of early adopters
Of woodies, began to crack after a while. After which a crown was fitted
To prevent the problem.
Probably a solution worked out by Ed/George (woodies were initially outsourced
Until they were turned inhouse).
To further strengthen the woody, a second crown (somewhat thinner) was fitted
On the other end.
On a side note, some 2nd party makers who were also offering their versions of wooden
Stems, had to deal with unhappy customers who were also reporting cracking stems.
Then came the endura—Ti/SS, the super VapCaps.
The OG glass/woodies/crowned woodies had became a part of VapCap history.
& for a while, high street precious metal, of gold and silver, VapCaps were offered for VapCats
With *BIG* buck$.
That too became part of the VapCap legacy.
At the present, we seem to have a marriage of wood/Ti in the recent Vong, or TonG (TED on Glass)
(still a sticking work, in progress).
And magnetic induction heaters galore, rivaling hissing butane torches. VapCap seem
To have refrained from branding its own version of a mag heater, possibly in light of
Its “battery free” philosophy. A loss of good revenue, IMHO.
Making VapCap’s future history an interesting voyage to follow.
