Heating sleeve

Bild
I just wrapped a titan sheet 0,5mm x 7mm around the lower part of a vapcap to expand the mass. When ur doing it the whole sheet metal should touch the cap. When u heat it, just use your torch on the sheet metal part.  First click should be enough, cause the heat needs more time to travel (just try). More mass means longer heating time, but also FAT hits! Too much for me but maybe u will like it. PEACE

The Italian

I sandet down a fusilli noodle and sticked it into an glass tube...super smooth not so tasty! Other materials work too. if your noodle moves take two o-rings. It should be away from the tip! I dont think more instructions are needet :) PEACE

Thermal separation

Bild
with this mod were getting a thermal separation between a metal stem and the tip. In other words our stem doesn't get hot anymore. I just put an glas tube between the tip and the stem. Glas has a low heat conductivity, so the heat stays in the cap and doesnt travel into the stem too fast. examples for heat conductivity Glass: ca.0,8 Wood: ca.0,14 (glas alternative) Stainless steel: ca.15  Titan: ca.22 copper: ca.300 Plus our stem gets longer and the condenser doesn't go into the tip anymore which is another heat source we eliminate. The adapter between the glas and the stem is the harder part to build. But with a little trick we get it done without an lathe machine. Build this at your own risk and only if u know what ur doing ;) -DIY- Adapter (left) you need: -Tube 8mm/6mm (Titan or stainless steal) -high temp o-rings 6mmx1mm -Dremel with a ca. 1mm cutting disc -drill 5,8mm -caliper+black marker -saw -file / san

Heat treat effect

Bild
you can get an cool looking effect on your heat treated stem by taping parts of your stem and use some fine sandpaper (ca.600) to polish of the free area. also try: -stickers -cut your own design into sticky tape / stickers -Sandblast should work much better with complex forms PEACE

Captive cap

Bild
Dynavap just created the captive cap. I dont see why you put the notch where the cap has no real elasticity. So i put the notch where it belongs, at the most flexible part of the cap. This is made with an '2019 M' Model, but it should also work with other tips. Not sure about the '2020 M tip' but it should work according to the pictures. Maybe someone can try and tell me if it works. Its pretty easy to do. you need: -Screw driver -Hammer Before you start smashing!  The cap must be pushed down all the way, or your notch wont be at the right place. Just take the screw driver as shown in the picture, point it behind the fin of the tip and give it a little hit with the hammer. Test it and use the hammer again if the hold is not stong enough. PEACE
