Land of the long vapor cloud
Nice review! Thanks CB.
My buddy has an 18M that he shovels a tiny amount in using the digger outer, every day, twice a day. I gave him a Hydravong once but even the half-bowl hits too hard for him!and I thought I was microdosing with 3 hit dyna 1/2 bowls![]()
Interesting. It works well with the Inductor; in my attempts it seemed to heat it fairly aggressively, it was pretty dark at the clicks. Totally doable though. I wonder if it was heating the discs and then that heated the Ti? I held the core closer to the indents than the clickers.I noticed during this painfully long video about the Hyperdyn that the CEO addressed whether it was induction heater compatible, at about 37 min:

New DynaVap HyperDyn - Exclusive Interview w/George!
The DynaVap HyperDyn is more than just a new product—it's the beginning of a new chapter in vaporization. With significantly increased capacity, innovative design, and the same modularity and durability that define DynaVap products, the HyperDyn is set to revolutionize the market.

This is the second time in the video that Pete asks him about induction heaters, and it is nice to see that it is compatible. But it's only the heat disc that is compatible, and it's clear that this isn't ideal because George quickly segues into explaining that there will be different designs down the road that are better suited for induction use. I think if you're hitting it while it is inducting it could do decently well, but it seems like there's a lot of thermal stress on the shoulders of a very small disc so it could maybe lead to early failure of the click, and possibly degradation of the steel in ways that would be a health risk.
Still, It's nice to see a titanium cap, but ideally it would have a steel core. I think the issue with a steel core is that it will expand and contract differently than the surrounding titanium, on top of being difficult to manufacture, but maybe we'll see that down the road?
Someone speculated they were gauging interest given the price, maybe that was it? It seemed to sell out pretty quickly. Anyhow, besides the price I think it'll be well-received. It works pretty well, the stem's nice and surprisingly light. I think if you are a potential OmniVong customer who likes big bowls the price works. Otherwise the tip and cap will be great with WPAs or glass cooling stems, etc.I don't fully understand the hyperdyn being released as a founders edition. Seems as developed/finished as any other dynavap release and doesn't have significantly different/new features apart from the jumbo bowl size.
Looks like a beast though.![]()
I'll probably dedicate a set to a glass WPA.looks bigger than the Dani! A hyper tip/cap and dose capsules may be in my future if the price isn't ridiculous.
I would say of the ones in the pic it's the most open except for the Helix/Perf Cap. Not hugely, but noticeably. I tried it against a Vong tip and that seems the most similar to me. It's goes pretty good through water and you can do slow/med DTLs with it fully closed. I've tightened the condenser up just a little to compensate for the size of the airport and airflow's reasonably comfortable for DTLs. There's enough vapor coming through that you could probably open the intake a little and just rip away.How does the fully closed/covered hyperdyn airflow compare to other dynavap models?
Please n thanks.![]()
No. I've been using a leather band to check the roast. It's hot right after a hit but it cools down way faster than the Armored cap, I'd guess. I can try and time it later.With a regular Dynavap one can hit it, and by the time the cool down click happens the cap is cool enough to remove with your fingers.
Is that still the case with the HyperDyn?
I did but mine seemed pretty clean.Just got #127 yesterday. Do you follow the usual pre-use cleaning protocol? I.E. dunk all save cap in iso, rinse in hot/soapy water, dry?
Thanks. Mine does too but better safe than greasy.I did but mine seemed pretty clean.
Dangit, I probably didn't bother with the cap! Lol.Thanks. Mine does too but better safe than greasy.
EDIT: got a grey q-tip from the cap, everything else was pretty clean.
No, busy day here today, will probably get to it tomorrow. Glad it’s working for you! What are you heating with?Have you tried it yet? I'm wrecked over here. ha ha!
Just a pocket Eagle or Honest. Used the Inductor a few times, that works well too. It's like torching any other, really, it just makes enough vapor to knock over a moose.No, busy day here today, will probably get to it tomorrow. Glad it’s working for you! What are you heating with?
I think you would probably feel it. It's much tighter than a TA. It feels more like a Vong than a Helix/perf cap. On a Tempest stem though it would still have an airport so it might feel ok, just tighter?@coolbreeze What is the airflow like when you put it on a WPA?
Ive been using the Tempest as my main driver for about 7 months now. I recently pulled out an old Dynavap tip/cap and put it on a WPA and j-hook, just for old times sake. I was struck by how restricted the airflow was, even without a condensor tube.
I would be interested in getting the new large tip and cap to try on the Tempest stem. I'm just worried airflow would be too restricted compared to what I'm now used to.
EDIT - Changed wording "poor airflow" to "restricted airflow" as this value being poor is my subjectivity.
I thought it might be like that. This perforated cap, did it increase airflow? I think that's the source of the restriction in DV's, the lack of holes in the cap.I think you would probably feel it. It's much tighter than a TA. It feels more like a Vong than a Helix/perf cap. On a Tempest stem though it would still have an airport so it might feel ok, just tighter?
I just stuck it on my Revolve v1 and airflow seems pretty comfortable,. I can try it later and see how it feels.
