Lucky beta tester here, and happy to share another one of the big updates for the vapman.
As well as the larger bowl, the new version also includes click back component to indicate when the herb is ready for inhale.
It really does make a difference to the experience.
There are two discs calibrated for the same temperature. The effect is a double click indicator for when the optimum temperature is reached.
The discs have the added effect of vibrating when they click and this shakes/stirs the chamber which gives an even toasting to the herb in the chamber without having to physically stir the chamber yourself.

For the time being, the current stations can only heat up and we are waiting for the Click.
The light signal cannot be triggered as the optical sensor is not operated because the Vapman Click sits slightly higher in the station.
In my opinion, the VM Click is also much better suited for the jet, on the go and outdoors because of the click function.

Excellent review...Finally, we fully_professional_beta_test_pilotscan report on how the new model vapes.
The test model is untreated, raw, beautiful cherry wood, the insides arelasered blackpre char burn in, the middle piece is with cooled air path, easy to clean, the mouthpiece as usual in POM with cooling coil.
The funnel was not included with the prototype test model, as both the OG and the 2.0 fit.
In short:
I'm delighted with both the new middle section and, of course, the new, large pan!
I also have the impression that it has twice the volume of the Vapman OG or 2.0.
The pan after use, the normal brush is almost a bit too short, it's so deep.
The lower side with theblack laseredpre char burn in protective layer.
The aroma has logically become a little stronger with the larger quantity, as has the effect!
It blows my mind every time I fill the pan completely. A bit too much for me, so I don't fill the pan completely, so microdosing is still possible without any problems.
But many others will really like the higher dose!
In comparison, on the left the new Vapman, on the right an OG Swiss.
The doses have been filled very loosely, unpressed.
The operation is not really any different from the other Vapman models, I think it has even become a lot easier.
It takes a little longer on the station, as the modified pan shape is not tapered, there is less contact surface. But you can definitely use it, the Vapman has the same shape and dimensions. However, the Jet is quicker and feels very comfortable.
The AVB roasted evenly after 4-5 light heating cycles, despite less stirring.
Hash and extracts also work, the INOX sieve fits in very well.
In my opinion, however, the Vapman OG and the 2.0 are a little more suitable, as the pan is quite large.
I am literally flashed by the new details of the middle section!
The air supply setting is a dream, the cooling works very well (more pronounced aroma!), cleaning is super easy without a screwdriver, the wood remains protected.
And this increases the lifespan even further, I'd be bold and say that if it's handled with some care and a little maintenance, it will last for several generations!
Quickly ready for cleaning!
Microdosing, same quantity as in the Vapman OG looks like this in the new Vapman:
The guys have done a great job with all the new developments, I've been using the Vapman for over a decade now, I didn't think so many improvements were possible!!!
Thank you very much, @David and @Michael !
The new unit does NOT work perfectly on the Station...this is something that will be addressed. The lights on the unit do NOT work. The new Vapman can be placed and heated on the Station but, you will have to count like you are using a torch. The lights do not indicate that it is heated.

Just to clarify, the clicks will work on the station so you will be listening for the clicks as opposed to looking at the station lights.
I've found when I filled the bowl I got 6 good cycles of nice vapor.
It's similar to the previous models in that you'll get something from the first click but on the next cycle a bit more, and so on.

Sorry, I was vague. I meant for each cycle if you still have to do heat ups in bursts (like 3 seconds on, 3 off, repeat 3x) or if you can now simply heat until it clicks and then inhale.
But it's great to hear that the sessions feel roughly the same!

I like it, but who's the chick? Sounds like pretty innovative technology.

I predict a whole new round of accidental combustions when going back to reminiscence with the OGyou can simply fire until it clicks. no bursts or intervals anymore. just fire and forget

What's awesome about the Click on the station is that because the green light never goes on, the heat never shuts off, you can leave it sit after the click while the station remains at temperature. This means you can go after the click for a bigger hit, heating indefinitely until the 5 minute timer shuts the station down. It's a really fun attribute to be able to play with. When the Vapman clicks, you also have a convenient point to count off from, if you want to go darker. It's pretty sure-fire.

Just on this, I did combust on the new version listening for the clicks.I predict a whole new round of accidental combustions when going back to reminiscence with the OG
As there are two click plates, there are two initial clicks at the start. The time between the clicks can vary depending on his your touch is set, but usually less than 2 seconds apart (a quieter initial click followed by a louder second click).
With a large flame though they can click at the same time. If you're used to hearing two clicks you can end up waiting for the second click and combusting. It's not an issue once you're aware but it did confuse me when I combusted that time.
I stuck pretty much to the clicks but some of the other testers pushed past the clicks for their own preference. So you can still have that intuitive feel of the OGs

DynaVapman? ; )
I was skeptical, but the changes are really improvements. I reluctantly arrived at this conclusion right away and it only grew more certain. Part of why it works is because the oven heats so evenly, so a single-blast heating is simpler, the click gives you an orientation point, and then you can modify from there if desired. The click is pretty well calibrated, you get full hits with more vapor but they stay cool and the avb is light and even.

One of the things I’ve loved the most about this device was that it was never a one and done. I didn’t need an orientation point. Were there so many complaints about this that we needed click discs? It also sounds like the current station as we know it can be kludged into working, kinda, but mainly as a really inefficient torch lighter. I’d like to know what “being addressed” entails.

I'd assumed that priming the wok before heating a second time was necessary to achieve the conduction heavy signature I most associate the Vapman with. Is single blast heating better for achieving greater convection?
Curiously, one of the things I most value in the Vapman is the lack of clicks. I've even switched to flint lighters to reduce the amount of clicking even more.
I was sat cleaning out a filthy wok this morning thinking, those flat bottomed pans look significantly easier to clean with a regular one qtip. Is that your experience? Or is the flat bottom also removable click disk?

I've never had any trouble cleaning the woks using just the brush and pointed dab qtips.
