Greetings from a long time lurker :-) I've had the Dani Metal v.3 for more than a week now. Getting it wasn't as easy as i thought. It arrived in Bulgaria for 4 days from Viet Nam via FedEx but local customs & narcs inspecting my shipment(out of curiosity i guess) delayed it by additional 4 days. I know this because FedEx explained to me why there was such a big delay. I have ordered vapes before but never had this happen to me...weird. I also had to pay VAT 20% for importing packages outside of EU - another $24 on top device($80)+shipping($35). Order from IG.Process is smooth & paid with PP. The guy on the other side is very helpful. CS is very, very good & fast responding!
Now about the vape itself. I don't have such a big collection but VAS i do have lol i have a few Dynavaps, Sticky Brick jr., Arizer Solo 2, Craftys & now also the Dani. It took me a few days to really get the hang of it but man it slapped me so hard when i did haha!
The vape itself looks super solid made! The cap as well seems to take a bit overheat OK & except color change i don't see any issues. Sadly when i tried to separate the adapter that holds the tip & the tip itself - they were like stuck really hard to each other. Then after some attempts i managed to separate them but one of the o-rings of the tip snapped by the sharp edges of the o-ring grooves. Good thing they sent spare o-rings. After a few days i try separating them again to try the glass stem... Now brace yourslef- after the second time i decided to separate them another o-rings snapped! I'll try replacing them with Dynavap ones & lube this area nicely hope this will be a "fix". The adapter for the tip seems to be a tiny bit too narrow there & combined with the sharp grooves it's like this is prone to happen every time i do this. I tried & even with only 3 o-rings the tip still holds like they are 4 o-rings. Cool!
The glass stem is AMAZING with bong! The Dynavap fat mouthpeace fits perfect on it! The taste is wow & the clouds are huge! Looks like combustion but when you exhale it's lot's of milky tasty vapor!
If you do back to back sessions with the metal version it gets so hot it's untouchable at one point so you have to let it cool down. With wooden & glass main bodies this issue should be non-existent. After many attempts i found that however i torch the silver ring it's just not what i was looking for. The magic for me happens under the silver disk. Also i tried so many torches - single, triple flame etc. I still wasn't convinced this was the full potential. Since i don't have a double torch i just decided to use two single flame torches simultaneously blasting each one of them between the airholes under the silver disc. I keep the flame at max power & 6-7 sec. after the click i stop heating. This way i get plenty of big tasty clouds! I end the cap in 2 cycles before discharging my avb. With the glass stem i end it all in 1 go. This is what worked best for me because finding the right torch & method is pretty individual process imo. If you have a bong even better since the extraction will be grater & much easier to pull! I also prefer to draw slow with this vape it makes big difference!
I had the cap stuck twice so i don't tighten it all the way but i let it a bit loose while heating. I use pliars carefully & a soft tissue to prevent scratches if "fusing" happens. Hold the tip with the tissue around it with the pliars & unscrew the cap when it's cold. Works like a charm. Knocking it on hard surface didn't work for me. Also airflow is the same no matter how loose or tight the cap is screwed. To unscrew a hot cap i use the leather pouch it comes with - just pinch it at it's open end so it opens enough to grab the cap with it, unscrew fast & place it somewhere(on metal or wood) to cool down. i am extra careful as i do this because i've had bad blisters on my hands from my dynavaps so you have to pay attention!
So this beast in it's category with constant results & technique is practically zero with it. I am very happy with the purchase. Hope everyone else have less to deal with when ordering theirs! Cheers!
Yes I did. It’s briar burl, wood can exceed 700 degrees and is extremely dense but porous at the same time, allowing it to absorb oils and moisture at the same time. Gives a cool dry vapor profile. When I get to the new home in a few days I’m going to spin a strip of SS to curve the airpath and force more vapor to make contact with the briar burl. Mouthpiece is Snake wood just because it looks good IMO
