Question for more experienced Dynavapers.

I have a fairly new Hyperdyn (my first DV device). Very much enjoying it and just added a Wand.

My only issue is that I just discovered that one of my dearest friends (and a regular smoking buddy who has used Volcanos for the past18 years) has some strange allergy (or contact sensitivity) to titanium and he does not want to risk using the Hyperdyn. Understandable on his part. But I'm a bit bummed.

Thinking about adding a stainless steel DV (or alternative) to my kit so I can partake on the go with my friend and perhaps/probably make a gift of the new one to my friend so he has his own.

I am leaning towards getting an M 7 XL, but am open to other models (or even brands).

The one non-negotiable element is that the vape must have no titanium parts.

Any thoughts? Functionally, is the M 7 XL pretty similar to the Hyperdyn experience (albeit with a smaller load)?

Anything else I ought to consider?

Titanium sensitivity. Who knew that was a thing??? Not me.

My opinion is the M7XL is a perfect choice.

I’ll second the M7XL. I got one a while back as my first Dynavap and use it with a Wand IH. It works flawlessly every time!

Thank you both. I just picked up an M 7 XL at the historic Captain Ed's (aka Heads and Highs) shop in Reseda (Los Angeles).

Kyle, the new owner, is a great guy and he just became an authorised Dynavap dealer, so it felt good supporting local retail. I showed him my Wand and my Hyperdyn. He just got the Wands in as well, but had not cracked a package open to see for himself.

This place (Heads and Highs) was local in the neighborhood where I grew up and opened in 1967. I remember it well. The inside is still plastered with classic posters, with great gear in wood cases.

If one is in the vicinity Reseda Blvd near Sherman Way), do yourself a favor and visit Captain Ed's if you want to see what legendy smoke shop looks like. And Kyle is a good dude. It looked like this place was going to be shuttered forever, but he's brought it back and it looks great.

I hope my buddy enjoys his M 7 XL.

The only question that remains, is do I dfo a "quality control check" before handing it over? LOL

Bill

Should anyone care (and why whould you?) I decided that it was in the interest of science to try out the new M 7 XL.

Who among us is suprised? :p

So far I'm staying away from a torch (using the Wand). I'd offer an immediate impression, but I'm a little too...

Very glad you like the M7XL.

Imo the M7 model is really showing that there was still a lot of performance to be gained versus the previous M models. I really like it.

As with all new Dynavaps, I'd first clean every part, inside and out, with a cottonswap and isopropyl alcohol. With your friends titanium allergy, I'd also double check if the M7 tip has a stainless steel screen. It should. But you know .. better to verify.

Thank you for the tip on the screens. I checked and the pattern on the M7XL matches the stainless steel version. Thank god!

It was definitely worth verifying. Much appreciated!

The last thing I'd want to do is expose my dear friend to titanium. I had no idea that titanium allergies existed, much less that my buddy (who has been a solid friend for two decades) deals with it. Evidently the symptoms are rather unpleasant.

I have been trialing the M7XL, which aside from my recently purchased Hyperdyn, is the only other DV I've tried.

Thank you again for raising the possibility of a titanium screen.
