Hi FC. I've been lurking here for a while. You all helped me decide to purchase a Dynavap "M" a little while back. It immediately became my daily driver, and has pretty much replaced all my other gear. My only gripe was that to carry it around required a pocket full of misc. containers and lighters. So after some prototyping I came up with a design I'm pretty proud of. So far, I've only made one batch of 10 (I also did a batch of simpler designs that don't include a lighter). This seemed like the place to share and get feedback, but I don't want to come off as spammy, so just clue me in if I've posted in the wrong place or broken any rules here.
My first pieces are up for sale on Etsy here if anyone is interested:

FAQ
-
What are they?
-Both the Flintlock and the Flask are slim, stylish, hand made, and unique methods to store your Dynavap “M” vaporizer. Both are spring loaded and make your Vap pop out like a freakin’ light saber every time you open it.
-
Is the DynaVap “M” vaporizer included?
-Sorry, no. You can get yours at www.dynavap.com
-
What is the difference between the “Flintlock” and the “Flask”?
- The Flintlock incorporates a small torch lighter, a storage compartment, and a recessed magnet for cooling. The Flask has a larger storage compartment, and a second compartment with an integrated pick for cleaning.
-
Isn’t that a lot of money?
-Yes. You really shouldn’t spend this much money on your bad habits. But if you’re reading this you’ll probably get one anyway. Good for you! Live a little! Seriously though, I make each of these by hand. I’m practically giving them away at this price.
-
What’s your deal?
-I’ve been an artist all my life, specializing in mechanical sculpture for the last 20 years. This practice has led me to make many of my own tools when necessary. I consider these products to be “lifestyle tools”.
-
Why did you pick that particular lighter, what if it breaks?
-I chose the Aomai lighter because of its size and shape, as well as the fact that it has a replaceable flint striker (these tend to be more reliable) and a fuel window. I’ve had expensive lighters break as often as cheap ones, so I figured replaceable/affordable was the way to go. I’ve been using the same one now for months with zero problems, and I know if it fails I can get another one for under $10.
-
Do you work with/for Dynavap?
-Nope. I just think they made a truly great device, that ultimately was a little hard to live with on a day to day basis, so I came up with some tools to make it even better.
-
Is the metal coated?
-Nope. It’ll tarnish. After a few months of fiddling with it, it will develop a really nice patina from the oils from your hands. If you prefer the shiny look, a quick rub down with brass polish does the trick.
-
Is each object perfect in every way?
-Er, no. These are each hand made by me (The little brass plates that hold the tubes together are CNC cut) so each one is a little different and will have small imperfections, you know, like precious diamonds.
