I'm bored and it's raining. I could read a book or talk shite in this echo chamber. I'll go the latter.
So, I'm going to give you my unwanted first (ish) impressions of the Dynavap.

Now i did mention that I thought it a great piece of kit, and it is, but it's not perfect.
Cons, 1) price..I picked mine up for a little over 50€ and to be honest that's close to the max I'd be prepared to pay. That being said I'm a tight-arse. Some of their rigs cost up over 200€ and at that price point there are many arguably better options. At 50€ this is acceptable for what is essentially two machined SS tubes, an SS end piece, a couple of o-rings and a pressed SS cap.
2) This is not a con for me but I'd imagine it would be for the real heavy hitters out there. Bowl size, it holds about .06 of a gram maybe up to .1. Now for me this is ok, I'm a lightweight smoker and the vaporizer really extracts most from the material. I vaped two bowls yesterday evening and was thoroughly bombed.
3) Heating and operation; small con, it's a learning curve. Not too bad but if the user isn't attentive they'll roast the material and it'll charcoal (see pic)
Pros
1) Taste, terp bomb in every pull. Even when i torched the lowest point of the cap which is the method for most vapour production I got a tasty vapour cloud.
2) Surprisingly powerful for small amount needed. As I said, this thing has face melting power.
3) Portability, the thing is small and handy for the pocket.
4) A good straddle between combustion and vaporizing. For those who like smoking small pipes or joints. This feels old school.
5) Heating options. - The addition of an induction heater (either bought or self made) makes the thing easy and convenient.
6) Bongover reduction - I am relatively new to vaping but the fuzzy head I used to have for the first 30 mins after waking up is non existent after vaping the evening beforehand. I know correlation is not causation but I think the reduction of total material consumed coupled with the lack of combustion and the unwanted components that accompany the inhalation of combusted material leads to a springier step later on.
Conclusion, nothing is perfect. This is also not perfect but is a great thing to have in the tool belt. Give it a trundle.
