That seems true of the normal M vs XL as well, not so much a vapor quality difference as it is a handling difference.

Happy for Austyn that the Simrell collection was awarded the Product of the Year by Sneaky Pete. And I couldn't agree more.
It's really the only way I use the vapcap natively, and it's great for water too.
I will be the lucky new owner of a Deep Purple Ti Vortex with matching cap and tip in a few days. Really excited to 'complete' my collection which includes a 'plain' Ti Vortex and Blackwood Vortex.
I believe that I've quenched my VAS for the year and it's only the 14th.
I know I'm laughing too.

If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
I got recently my plane vortex, first one probably, it is really a wonderfull object. To me it is not a VCap game changer as it was pipes induction heater but second best for sure, Era lasting quality, vandals proof, and those are the lesser features
how deep cleaning is? is the condenser fixed or can it be removed for cleaning? I gave it an ultrasonic bath in iso before first use, it appeared fixed but I didn’t try to pull on it

You can take it out. It was recommended to me to use tweezers, and they're perfect. Pulls out easily

Surely you mean the intercooler and not the condenser. The Vortex is a unibody part.You can take it out. It was recommended to me to use tweezers, and they're perfect. Pulls out easily

Obviously, yes.

I’ve found cleaning my Simrell to be quite easy. For my Ti pieces I pull off the cap, take the pieces apart and soak in Everclear (grain alcohol) overnight and simply rinse and dry. For my wood vortex I put the tip and Intercooler in Everclear and swab out the condenser with a pipe cleaner soaked in ISO.
And my experience was different. I had an IH before my Vortex and still didn’t use my vapcap much. Until I got the vortex. Then it became one of my daily drivers.

Anyone else prefer ss on their simrell? Gotta use that cooling for something.

I use the aureum tip on my simrell as i appreciate ss more than Ti tip with induction heaters
If i go torch then ti tip

Hey yeah I've just switched to the 2019 SS tip, and yeah I agree so far much better results with my induction heater.
And I just ordered the trippy hippy finished vortex!

You're going to love it. I got my Deep Purple with matching Ti tip yesterday and I'm in heaven. The Vortex is the perfect stem for my vapcap use. Perfect.
Interesting. Can you expand on what ways you think the SS is better?
I have both and I decided that I liked the Ti better but that was before I got my IH so I think I’ll have to go back and try the SS with the IH.

I need to get me a port side. I have a custom IH but need a portable. I've had the vortex for about three weeks and I really enjoy it. It is my goto now.

Had a few goes on my vortex. I like it. It definatley cools the vapor. It is also the coolest looking vapcap stem i have seen. Actually it's the only stem I own now.
Do I think it's worth the £150 price tag? No.
Am I glad I brought it? Definatley.
But there is something about it. It just looks really neat - nice lines like a sports car. I take it out the case every now and then just to look at it.
Performance wise the vapor seems a bit cooler. I quite like having a carb again, my previous stems did not. The carb helps with the cooling as much as the vortex I reckon.
It's kinda like a fine wine. The a £10 bottle of wine is often twice as good as a £5 bottle. However a £40 bottle is not four times as good as the £10. It's better but your paying a premium for it.
But if you gonna own one stem - it might as well be a good one..

Earthling flora is... fascinating.
How does it compare to a regular vapcap with a water piece? I read somewhere (either in this thread or over at vaporents) that the intercooler makes it about 90% as good as a water piece. Do you feel that's the case?

Can someone post some Simrell porn? Detailed pics of the stem and the intercooler thingy that goes inside of it, both assembled and unassembled, would be awesome.
Right now I use a 6" long Arizer Solo glass stem as an add-on to my Vapcap's airpath. I had one laying around and it mates to my Vapvap nicely via the phat mouthpiece. It does a good job cooling the vapor. A simrell piece would be alot more portable and convenient though. Sticking an Arizer Solo stem on the end of your Vapcap isn't the most ideal thing when you're out and about.
