PHASE3

I have to fly internationally and want to take a dynavap along. I see it as the easiest way to take a vape through the TSA/customs. I plan on cleaning it thoroughly in iso and switching out the o rings, but wanted to ask about the cap. I think it has been suggested to not soak the cap in iso for long periods of time? Looking for the best way to clean a cap so there isn't any residue to be detected. Thanks

Im gonna counter as someone who has traveled with many-a-vape both new and used, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

On my last intl flight I brought some used bangers, some new bangers, a new puffco, a glass bowl, a new bowl for my ZX, two XLR hot coils, a whole bag of terp pearls.

As always YMMV;
If you’re that concerned maybe just leave the cap behind.

It's recommended not to use iso on the cap in case any iso gets trapped between the click discs
So you want to make some effort to fully dry it out out if you do use iso to clean the cap

Can you tell me if there is a difference between the "M Plus" and "M7 XL" tips in terms of internal volume? which one is bigger and by how much?

I believe M7 is dynavap’s standard size of ~0.05/0.1g and the M+ is a little bigger at around ~0.06/0.11g. Marketing materials say the M+ is about 12% deeper than the usual DV tip.

Or did you mean actual internal dimensions rather than the marketed herb capacity?

Yes, I was referring to the capacity of the bowl, thank you very much for the information!

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
Thanks for the advice on the international flight. I think if I do consider taking one, I would just buy another cap. It is a shame because they claim vapes are fine for flight. I understand that means tobacco vapes, but a completely clean dynavap easy looks like a tobacco vape. I'll probably be too scared now and just go empty handed. The other shame is even with getting access to hash or weed over there, my only option would be to smoke it.
It might be a long T-break after all. Again, thanks everyone.

Hmmm, the tip looks similar to mine actually IMO. I see the same rough unfinished look with marks in the sidewall grooves. Maybe they just did some batches like that. Unfortunately Dynavap told me to go ask the place I bought it from and have not responded to my request for comment on my pictures. No response from Element Vape yet either.
Dynavap got back to me. They agree that my Vong tip doesn't look right and are sending me a new one. They gave me a return label to send in the original also. Still haven't heard anything from Element Vape. Probably won't be buying from them again. :shrug:

I've been giving my DVs a little bit more love lately because I was after that quick micro dosing hit more often. I'm quite impressed with how I've been enjoying myself lately. My favorite setup is Ti VonG with wooden sleeve / VonG tip / Half bowl / low-temp cap / FMJ. I get surprisingly flavorful hits native or quite some clouds on empty small rig.

The wooden sleeve has a rather funny story behind it. It was made by katmandude from supposedly 7000-year-old Czech bog oak. I find it mind boggling that a tree was resting somewhere in my country for thousands of years just to be sent to the US. Then it was acquired by a fckin talented dude who turned it into a beautiful part of weed paraphernalia and sent it back here. But it might be just me, I enjoy these little things, especially when high :ninja:

I've had my M7XL a week or two now and my thoughts so far . . .
Gosh it's LIGHT! Pretty to look at, maybe a little too busy on the exterior for getting my fingers familiar (my DV comparison base is an OG Vong) and I never feel quite certain if I've got the airhole covered properly. Speaking of the air hole, and again compared to base Vong (non-i), does it do anything on the M7? I can't tell.

Pro's: definitely like the very simple assembly that doesn't have o-rings on the condenser tube. Keeping that mid-tube ring in place on the Vong condenser during reassembly is my biggest peeve with it and the M7 is dead simple with just the mini rings for the tip and mouthpiece. Light weight. It's pretty. I LOVE the tip. I have, in fact, swapped tips between my OG Vong and the M7 XL and the "new" Vong is even better as my everyday standard.

Con's: Really only one I've got to report is it gets hot and finger placement can get a little tricky.

The positive experience with the tip now has me wanting to experiment with more, maybe the new Hyper tip/cap combo.

Glad you're enjoying it. The condenser is adjustable, it closes down the amount of air that comes in the airport. If the condenser is set on the shortest settings more air can come in through the airport. If the condenser is set longer, it will reduce the amount of air pulled in through the airport. You can set it where you like the air/vapor mix and then just ignore the hole altogether.

Ahhh, looks like I'll have to do some RTFM'ing as I was unaware of that, thank you!

It's sad to hear that the vape Element is silent....I bought a vong from them and it will take a long time to get to me. I hope it doesn't come with defects.

Yes, you can adjust it so that you don't need to close the airport, and then the airport opening becomes superfluous on the stem, and the finger notch gets in the way. I ran into this problem on HyperDyn. I want HyperDyn without a finger notch.
:lol:

Do you have a copper FMJ? Does it work with IH (Wand)? I also bought a low-temperature cap and I'm thinking which fmj to buy. Steel, silver, copper? To work with IH

This one is made of copper with golden plating. To my knowledge IH compatible is only the steel one.

I only use IH. So I found the fmj to be slow to heat, much slower to cool and since I only do 1/2 bowl to maximize flavor, completely irrelevant except for slowing down heat-up time using wasted energy. It also adds weight/bulk that makes the cap more cumbersome. This is also the reason I'm not even gonna try the ball caps, when the convector does the same job with less, faster

I agree with you, but not in everything. I use Hyperdyn, microdoses, and heat before pyrolysis for maximum effect, and even on my quantities, I have to heat twice using Wand. If I use fmj, I heat it once, the roasting is smooth brown, without black. Also add the extra weight of the metal capsules that I use 100% of the time.

If I try to heat it up to pyrolysis without fmj, then the flower burns at the beginning, and then it roasts normally. In general, an increase in thermal mass SMOOTHS out temperature extremes. This is quite clear to me.

But the annoying thing is the increase in mass, the difficulty of removing the cap from the fmj from the tip when it is hot. I don't like the look either. At the same time, the cap always has to be tapped so that it fits snugly to the tip. And yes, the hood doesn't pull when you take a drag.

In general, there are pros and cons.

Maybe someone can tell me where in the USA you can buy a metal FMJ, I searched all the stores, there is nowhere, including the Simrell store.

personal preference, but I would much rather reheat w/wand to finish my 1/2 bowl, than have excess heat mass roast the herb while I'm taking a breath between hits. I often go minutes between sips, 2-3 hit per load is all I get anyway, and reheating is not a chore to me. I could do ohe all the time but prefer intermittent sipping.

I do use the fmj occasionally on a dyna perf cap so the cap won't cool too much when drawing through it, but again I don't use butane.

I've been eyeing the silver in this store for a long time. Especially for the Hyperdyn version, but there has been no price for it on fmj for six months now, and the question is about silver -most likely it will not heat up in IH?
