Dynavap VapCap

[Green420]

My model is like 10 years old. My partner shoved tissue inside of it to "clean it" once, and she ended up buying me a new inner stem once, but other than that I haven't had to replace anything on it. It's been a very faithful, reliable piece of equipment. I use it out of the Chill Steel Pipe now with a glass adapter made for the dynavap. The Omni XL titanium today doesn't look that much more advanced, same inner stem, no vortex thing like the Simrell. I was wondering if it's worth waiting for Simrell to go back in stock, or to try the Hyperdyn from dynavap, and if that would fit the same equipment I have right now for the Chill Steel Pipe - the glass piece with 8-10-14mm width adapters, and the Bonger. I want to upgrade to something, as I've had this piece for like 5-10 years now, and it's come and gone, as I took the top piece off and attached it to glass adapters that just take the top of the dynavap. But that piece broke, so now I'm using the entire stem again, and I am sort of curious about where the technology has come in 10 years.

If there's anything I think it could improve on, it's definitely vapor harshness. I don't know what it could do to fix that besides get a Simrell Vortex, but they are out of stock right now and I'm kind of leaning towards the Hyperdyn. I like that the Hyperdyn takes bigger puffs, I just don't know if it would fit my adapter. I'm kinda disappointed they're out of the Omni XL Titanium because my bass teacher who loves weed just said he's interested in getting one. Idk if it's these tariffs or what, but stuff has been out of stock lately.

This is what I used to have before it broke VVV

Finally upgraded the tip on my helix from m+ss to ti helix sunset after using m+ ss tip for many months. Having a good time! Its much more purple than I expected based off the site pictures and name but thats cool with me I love purple. When you get some oil on it it turns a weird shade between purple and light tan amber which is so AWESOME! This is rad.

It pairs really well with a rosium cap visually.

Sooo much airflow and quicker heat cycle times now. Its a completely different vape now. Wow!

The only gripe I have is that the tips are a little loose fitting on the helix stems. I really wish they fit snug like the official bb glass. Oh well, nothings perfect. I hope to see this glass come back with an improved v2.

 

[budski]

so tempting, it'll look perfect w/cxl bowl but pricey!

 

[SmokeyDope]

I hear you budski its a cool looking piece!

Besides the price the j.p finnly looks like it would have a strange tactile feel when holding and spinning. Lots of people didnt like the m+ tree stem for daring to be a little too much tactile wise (I love it! Feels so cool to rub your thumb against). If anyone gets one let me know how it feels to hold.

What's a halo tip. Sorry never owned dynavaps skipped thrm to go straight to mad heaters and vestratto so I dont know the ecosystem

It's a new Titanium tip. It's lightweight, heats and cools quickly, tastes good. I think it's a lot like an improved standard Ti tip in that it seems a little more forgiving/even and less heat is shed to the stem.

Man, that's such a nice vape! I would say improvements are mostly to the tips. I would recommend a M7XL if you go for another DV, it's a nice compliment to the Ti Omni. The Helix is also a very nice tip especially with the perforated cap. The Halo tip is sort of an updated version of the one you have.

For the heavier ones you mentioned the Simrell and Hyper will both fit your gear. The Hyper's bowl is twice the size of the Simrell's I believe, and it does offer the standard cap and the ball-filled cap. I think they both work great and are really fun and effective. I think it might be too hot to use with the Omni stem?

The Simrell is more elegant, has a normal-sized bowl, works really nicely/easily, is cooler, does flavor well. It should be ok on the Omni stem. Both would be great on one of those glass adapters you've shown or an aftermarket lined wooden water pipe adapter, etc. If you got a Vong stem, all these tips would work on it, including the heavy ones, and it would fit all your waterpieps and j-hooks with no adapters necessary.

Thanks for the breakdown—that’s super helpful. If I upgrade from the Omni XL Titanium, I’d probably go with the Hyperdyn. Anything else in the DV lineup (besides the Simrell) feels more like a sidestep—maybe a refinement, but not a big leap. The Hyperdyn seems like it would actually change the experience, especially in terms of vapor density.

That said, it honestly sounds like a throat killer unless you're running it through water—especially if you're me and tend to scorch every last terp out of a bowl. I'd definitely want to pair it with something like my Chill Steel Pipe (with ice), because I doubt I could hit it raw without regretting it. The Simrell, on the other hand, sounds perfect for using dry. Elegant, cooler, more forgiving. But it's also one of those pieces I’d hate to lose—too nice to throw in a bag and hope for the best.

When I travel, I usually take my Dynavap, and it's already anxiety-inducing enough. I can't imagine casually taking a Simrell Vortex to a 420 party.

As for upgrades, the Vortex seems like it would mainly cool the vapor rather than increase output—which is kind of redundant when I’m already using the Chill Steel Pipe. Plus, I suspect the Simrell will be out of stock exactly when I want one, and in stock exactly when I shouldn’t buy one.

Lately I’ve been more into stockpiling rare and radical books as a kind of disaster prep, so I’m trying to be more deliberate with big buys. If I do spend $220 on a rig, I want it to make a noticeable difference—and it sounds like the Hyperdyn would. My only concern is flying through weed twice as fast. I tend to milk every last bit of vapor, so bigger bowls could be a double-edged sword.

Was poking around VDN and came across this seemingly soon to be released product - the Dynavap G3.

All glass combined tip & midsection
0.05g chamber so a microdoser
€40 (!!)
Available 26th June

Anybody else intrigued?

Well, now we know what the Halo tip was for! Sure hope to hear a report.

Halo has been a different learning curve for me. With so little mass to retain heat, I'm of the opinion the BallR cap and convection work best together for the Halo tip. Stainless tips that retain heat longest for a longer, gentler heating curve are easier on this noob. The brief up and down heating Ti curves leads to easier scorching.

Finley's never going to feel hot, for sure.

The g3 looks like an interesting one. Its effectively an all-glass one-hitter with a 0.05g tip and a metal cap on the end. Its hard to tell how big it is but looks on the short side closer to like a dugout cigarette pipe.

Whats with dynavap and smoked/stained/colored glass? Im tired of it man give me some pure crystal clear glass stems. The whole point of it being translucent is so I can actually see the vapor as I hit it helps me gauge things. IDK maybe the thought is that smoked glass is more `luxury` than regular crystal clear. I don't need window tinting on my herb sticks man seeing the vapor and golden res buildup is part of the visual charm. The all glass tip is the only thing the g3 has going for it over something like TRWW clear glass stems.

If you use an induction heater and have the luxury of hitting your dyna as its heating up, doing so eases out the Ti heating curve due to the increased airflow helping cool the tip as it heats, especially for the helix tip. This seems counter-intuitive but gives a more SS type heating curve with better flavors.

The machined screen, thicker sidewalls, and unibody condenser-less construction definitely reminds me of the PHASE3 Puritan


Looks great, I would expect this to become their best seller for sure.

Yeah, I would get one but I think it's out of reach for me. I love the idea of a new shorty vong like this.

Tip looks more robust than the G2's so it probably won't have the chipping problem. Not sure I'm interested in a half bowl but as another entry-level choice I bet people will love it.

I agree. This looks solid black in those pics so at least it will look nicer than a grey one but of course not see-through at all. I'd rather have clear too. My guess is that they hope it will scan as 'not-a-crack pipe.'

Anything else in the DV lineup (besides the Simrell) feels more like a sidestep—maybe a refinement, but not a big leap. The Hyperdyn seems like it would actually change the experience, especially in terms of vapor density.

It would be the biggest change, agreed. The M7 would give a pretty different experience in that it's much more forgiving of how it's heated and it can hold heat for prolonged hits per heating. The Helix tip with Perforated cap also is more even and holds heat longer but it's very open-hitting compared to any other DV. I mention these in case you do decide on a side-step at some point.

That said, it honestly sounds like a throat killer unless you're running it through water—especially if you're me and tend to scorch every last terp out of a bowl.

This is true. I can barely use it direct.

I use mine through water. I take your point about the Simrell, it is definitely too nice to lose.

As for upgrades, the Vortex seems like it would mainly cool the vapor rather than increase output—which is kind of redundant when I’m already using the Chill Steel Pipe. Plus, I suspect the Simrell will be out of stock exactly when I want one, and in stock exactly when I shouldn’t buy one.

lol. No doubt. The Vortex I mention just as an example of how easy it would be to find a suitable stem for the Simrell if you only buy the head. It would be just as great on a WPA, I bet.

Yeah, it's a weedeater! I just use it in place of two regular DV bowls--or at least I try to. ; )

Oh yeah, that cap on the Simrell. The actual stem alone runs around $100, right? But it’s that cap—with its heat retention and space-age look—that’s like $200. It’s the kind of upgrade that would be the maraschino cherry on top of any at-home rig. I could definitely see myself snagging the cap first for my Dynavap, and upgrading the stem to a Vortex later on. They still sell some full titanium versions too—I wasn’t sure if that was a newer drop or an older model. I assume the Simrell cap just gives more even heat distribution and is more forgiving in the heating cycle, plus it’s probably built to survive a war.

Right now, I’m using a low-temp cap—I heat it for about 9 seconds on a titanium tip, underneath the cap. Totally serviceable, but it’s hard to ignore how much more refined and engineered the Simrell gear is. That said, at $200, it’s over eight times the price of a standard VapCap, which runs about $25. But also? It looks like it actually earns that multiplier.

This is definitely the kind of upgrade I want to make eventually. I’ve been trying to stay focused—been spending more on rare and radical books lately. My original Voltairine de Cleyre: Selected Works (1914, Mother Earth publishing), Lucy Parsons: The Life of Albert Parsons (1903 expanded), and Albert Parsons – Anarchism and Its Scientific Basis (1887 first edition, near mint), plus Fredy Perlman's The New Freedom: Corporate Capitalism (first edition 1961 limited to 91 copies), and a bunch of others… They’ve kept me grounded and retentive to spend more, in a way that titanium stems can't.

That said, I’ll probably be back in a few months—either with a Simrell cap or a Hyperdyn. Still torn. The Hyperdyn makes a strong case—especially since I don’t even know who reliably sells Simrell caps right now.

 

[coolbreeze]

Sounds like an interesting pursuit. Hope you'll share some of what you learn. : )

I just came across this today. It seems we probably have enough people who know more already.

Thoughts? Comparable to Vaphit? $35 supposedly

 

[Petetbay]

Thoughts?

Don’t know if it’s a dimpled glass stem or just straight glass, but very similar to the glassy stems that are dimpled now only. There has been different variations with straight glass, beaded, dimpled with varying lengths and some with wpa joints. The price is good if it includes the cap. The glass stem/tip are the best at getting maximum flavor, but prone to breakage if you’re not careful. I have a few. The G3 looks like thick glass and that might help with the breakage problem and why the bowl only holds 0.5g.

I have the G2, I don't use it often because of the potential chipping issue, but with that solved I think people will like the G3. I need to practice the G2 more; I feel that I'm not getting great flavor despite the glass parts. It does chuck clouds, though, and the roast is nice and even. I think the new one with the unchanneled, thick walls and smaller chamber will be different enough to not draw strong conclusions but if it roasts as well as the G2 it will make a really fun and powerful DV one-hitter. Hopefully it will not be hard to get some of the flavor promised by the materials.

Edit: went a little easier on a second bowl and the flavor is actually pretty nice, vapor's reasonably thick. The G2 is a really functional Dynavap. I'd prefer a full bowl but the G3 should be well-received.

Giving some love to my original dynavap. The m+ got me started with this. I got carried away with shiny new pieces and cobbling together different parts. Its nice to come back to it and reflect on the journey.

I loved the tree bark texture work they did for it. It realy is a different feel thats enjoyable for me. I switched around tip and mouthpiece positions on the stem just to feel the bark all the way around.

Dyna likes to do their promotional YouTube videos with each new m release and one of the guys said the tree bark texture assisted with thermal heat distribution something about increased surface area maybe? I'm not sure how much of that is science and how much is marketing but its cool to think that the design itself does a little bit of cooling distribution.

The mouthpiece and adjustable condenser didn't exist when I got the m+ so that was a very obvious upgrade to help adjust airflow and add just a bit of length for better holding.

The tip and cap have been used multiple times daily for well over a year now. The cap stopped clicking after a nasty fall but the click is more of a training wheels to get down general timings not really needed. Before I learned about ultrasonic cleaners I would regularly sand down the tip and cap to remove gunk and oxidation buildup. I really like having this option tbh its a maintenance tool I can't use on colored parts that are too nice to scratch. My m+ is the battle tested workhorse whos scratches just add to the steels personality. You can barely see the caps stencil anymore. I wonder if regular sanding would eventually lower the tip/caps thermal mass to a noticeable degree allowing faster heatup times?

Its definitely meant for more of a hot and heavy OHE type hit. After a few back to back sessions it gets to hot to comfortably hold but will roast the flower evenly and colored perfectly dark to the point just before combustion. My Ti helix has a much harder time replicating that kind of hit with ease. They compliment each other nicely.

As an engineer I'm curious about just how much energy efficiency /heat cycles my new helix titanium tip get compared to m+ ss. If anyone ever did approximate watt-hour calculations or cycle counting comparisons I'm not aware.

They might send you a free replacement cap. You're right about the M+, it's a fantastic, powerful M. At first I didn't like the look, but it grew on me. Its bark's as great as its bite. ; )

is the M7XL worth it?

What's the deal with the "new" finless tip ?

 

[coolbreeze]

is the M7XL worth it?

It probably depends on what you have already but it's really good. The condenser's not as effortless as the Omni's but it's definitely worth getting.

What's the deal with the "new" finless tip ?

It's meant to shed less heat to the stem. It works well enough that I've been using them for my older wooden stems.
