Dynavap VapCap

[SmokeyDope]

While cleaning my Hyperdyn today, I wiped the inside of the moutpiece with an iso-dipped Q-tip and a bunch of graphite colored residue came out. Did not look like the color of any reclaim I'm used to getting. It eventually wiped away, but I got curious so I adjusted the condenser depth a couple times and then re-wiped, and it seemed like more grey stuff came out. Couldn't be 100% sure that adjusting the condenser was the cause, but it got me worried that the condenser was scraping off metal shavings or something like that.


Has anyone else experienced this before? I also noticed a similar shade residue while cleaning the inside of the cap with a q-tip. Here's a pic of the residue, I really can't remember ever getting reclaim this color, usually more brownish. Or maybe I get this color all the time and I'm just a little stoned and paranoid haha

*Edit After doing more testing, I feel pretty confident that the condenser is scraping off something when you adjust it between the 7 airflow grooves. Pretty bummed about this, ngl.

You can use some dynawax oil covering the outside of condenser as friction lube to stop metal on metal contact at the micro level.

Understandable if you want to stay away from it, the vongs twisty airflow adjuster thing is probably a better design for not making metal dust. Ultimately if its metal scraping on metal and its not properly lubed your gonna get friction wear in the form of metal shavings. Seemingly the ti/ss powder formed from this is so few per adjustment and very tiny probably only a few nanometers in length so your body easilydeals with it like other metallic vitamins. Youve probably breathed in more metal walking by a foundry in an industrial zone once than you ever will with the adjustable condenser.
