I originally got the solo 2 in late 2019 and then got a dynavap M 2020. After that I realized I wanted to use a bong with my dyna so I got a BB9. I used those for a while and they did me great but ended up getting the Arizer EQ.
Since I got that about a year and a half ago I haven’t got anything new. I think I have all the necessities when it comes to my use. I feel like I am one of the lucky ones (or unlucky) who had not been clutched by it!
I picked up a Pax 2 in late 2019 because I wanted some sort of dry herb vape since I was exclusively using edibles prior. After a few months, I found myself underwhelmed by the Pax and was looking for something better/stronger. That led me down the rabbit hole of researching options, then to the subreddit, Discord groups, etc. And thus, VAS was born. Although by this point my VAS is essentially dead as I have all the vape options that I wanted. There hasn’t been much new things coming out that have tempted my wallet or offered something new/different enough for me to want to cop.
Built a floodlamp/hurricane globe conduction vape from home depot parts back in '03, maybe. It worked, but not well enough to ignite the fire. Back in 2017 or so I wound up buying a battery powered vape (a gpen I think) which also failed to impress.
In 2019 I bought a dynavap on the rec from an internet stranger and it was the first real device I found that worked WELL.
I started making custom parts and offering anodization. One thing led to another and soon I’m releasing full artisan vapes, DIY vapes, customized artwork, accessories, and setting industry trends with a group of very intelligent colleagues. I’m even branching out into other industries (started screwing with keebs) and am now publishing a lot of my design work for others to enjoy in addition to the big open source contribs to the Vape community. The HLT and ATM are both still very popular and sell well!
It has been a wild ride so far and there is more work yet to be done… I still get VAS but I am more on the “supply” side of VAS now!
MFLB in 2019. Got a desktop rig now with a B0. Think I’m settled in for awhile.
Bought the vaponic as my first vape when I was like 17, then a mflb when I was 19 or 20. Used the mflb regularly but still continued smoking as main means of consumption. Then I bought a Dyna in 2018 and fully switched to vaping. That really kicked it off for me, now I own like 10+ different vapes and a few extra Dyna setups, aswell as a few different glass options and all kinds of adapters and shit. Most of which I bought between '18 and '21.
I don’t have VAS (yet) but I’ve just recently converted to a Dynavap and I’ve gotta ask what are your thoughts on the BB stems vs the M?
