And the Vapman Womans, and Vapman Enbies et al

Where’s the love?? So lo-tech it makes the Dyna look space-age, and so flavoursome it makes the Mighty cry.

Give it up for the Vapman!

    Er, I guess?? It’s a convection device powered by butane (i.e. torch), so the physics are similar, I suppose. They are both good at small doses, too; but if possible the Vapman is even more analogue than the Vapcap: there is no click, and I’ve never successfully one-shotted a Vapman. It’s more of a flavour-intense, sippin’ style conduction vape, while the Dyna is more of a one-hitter. That might be my lack of technique talking, tho. I’ve nailed my various Vapcap combos, and with an FMJ I can truly get one-heat-cycle extraction; whereas the Vapman is a “heat… was that enough… couple seconds more… still a bit wispy… ah, there we go”

    They’re a great vape with an impeccable pedigree and a loyal following for good reason; imho criminally under-rated.

    Check it out!

        No worries! It’s a great vape, I suspect any detractors have not got the technique down pat (altho, as I prove, you don’t need to have perfect technique to enjoy it!). It is often described as functional art, and I have to say I can’t disagree. It’s definitely a connoisseur’s vape - not in a snobby way, but those who just want to get from A to B as fast as possible will likely have no truck with it; it’s something to be savoured and enjoyed, for those who enjoy the Ritual™. If that’s you, and you like butane vapes, it’s a lock afaiac.
