Dynavap VapCap

[HughJundys]

Yes it is. It is pretty. It is a shelf queen as it's never been used. It was one of those purchases I made because I was new to vaping and thought it was so neat I could have someone make something beautiful. It is very nice, he did a great job, but not something I needed with my lifestyle.

 

[The Stray Fox]

Indeed it is beautiful. I have the same sentiment towards mine.

Man I’d love a titanium vong to go with my omnivap, Been rocking an omnivong thru the old roor for ages now.

That ti vong is very interesting.

Finally pulled the trigger on an M welcome kit. I've been meaning to pick one up for awhile now, so it kinda stings to pay $60 when I've seen it as low as $40 while waiting, but I did want it for an upcoming event and didn't mind paying the extra "premium". I'll be sure to update this thread with impressions once it comes in, but I'm definitely excited for its capabilities as a microdosing device.

EDIT: I've done a deep dive on some of these things before, but my memory's a bit hazy and there's so much to dig through in the thread. These do best with a medium grind, right? Or should I go for a more "coarse spice" fine type grind at the risk of particulates getting through the screen? Also, how do you tend to pack the bowl? Should I just loosely dump the bud in and smooth it down with a thin tamping rod, or should I try to compress it slightly like packing a traditional pipe? As a bonus question: What's the main piece of knowledge you wish you had as a first-timer with this device?

Controversial but for me, getting an ih was the game changer. Went from one not used m to over 10 stems and tips used every day.
The rest (packing, grind) is best for you to decide having a play.

Made a stem off some random swag a booth was handing out.

Medium grind will suffice. As stated earlier a GOOD induction heater is hard to beat (and a crap induction heater isn't worth your time or money). That said, the newb time learning with a torch can teach a lot to a user that pays attention. Ignore all triple flame torches and use a single jet. Remember that you are not trying to rush the clicks but rather slow roast to achieve click in 12-20 seconds +/-. When you learn torch technique and tire of it, get a good IH and never look back. You'll still torch on occasions as needs require.

Slow roast. Don't pack tightly. Torch technique.

the clouds are huge with full nug in the second heating on mid/high.. it milks.. the ti tip is a performance tool

 

[Demonic chronic]

When are these new titanium vongs out?, anyone know.

This. The most common heating technique problem is heating too fast. If you have problems with this (or any) technique, you may be too close to the flame. Half inch high inner single flame, spinning tip just at or beyond the outer flame, just to the clicks. Works with every tip/cap unless the wind interferes.

During Tea Time George said he thought it would only be a couple weeks.

Thanks for the head up

Thanks for the advice @coolbreeze @jabba and @Chicken No Name ! An IH is definitely on my shortlist of future accessories (Probably going to end up with one of Pipes', but when the time comes I'll be doing a deep dive to make sure it's the best one for me)

Unfortunately the welcome kit does come with a triple torch rather than the single y'all recommended, but I'll be sure to pay attention to orientation and position so I don't end up heating the cap too fast. I'll definitely be taking the advice on the image guide to heart and try a couple dry runs without product and see if I can hit that 12-20 second heatup time consistently.

Man, this thing is next level.

That O'Connell/VHB device is so cool!!!

Haven't seen too many posts about the Mad Heaters Revolve Stem. Been playing with it for a few days and I'm beyond impressed with the build quality, features and most importantly, the vapor quality.

Mad Heaters Revolve Stem

Nice. I went with the polished Ti too. What tip is that? Did you get the Reload? That thing looks really handy for using when out and about with a Dyna.

So how is the craftsmanship and quality of the build on those stems? Would you say it's on par with Simrell? I held up on buying this until I heard more reactions. There's an awful lot of parts and pieces with that system and I wasn't sure if I wanted to deal with it all or not.

There is an entire thread on the IH, and the now shipping STEMS:

One thing I love is how spinnable it is. It's like the Hydrovong XL or Ti Omni: so easy to handle.

It's the 2020. I didn't get one with my first order but am getting a Relode

Build quality and tolerances on my unit are on par with or exceeds its competitors. I can't find anything not cleanly cut or polished. When you mentioned parts I went and took it apart and there are only 3 parts. They are easy to manage and are not small. I can't speak to cleaning them when they are really gunked up though.

@coolbreeze I love that it is a feature cuz I ended up locking mine. The ability to fine tune it is what is so great about this stem.

Does anyone know what the magnet in the cap is made from? Was just interested really. Presume it's probably iron?

 

[Bad Dog]

what cap has a magnet in it??? and pure iron rusts and is not what they make magnets out of

Oh I thought the cap had a magnet in it for some reason.

 

[jabba]

Nope. It is stainless steel and simply slides on/off. You may pinch the cap a bit to narrow it a smidge if your cap fits the tip too loosely. Other than that...nothing other than friction holds the cap to the tip. See here
