Did DynaVap just lap the competition?

Tonight we will beat up the new HyperDyn ($229) and compare it to older DynaVaps, as well as the Anvil and Dani. Let’s see how this thing stacks up!
So far, I am very impressed. I haven’t wanted to use any other Vapcap-style vaporizer since I got the HyperDyn, other than to make a direct comparision. The bowl is as big as I always wanted (nearly three times the size of a typical Vapcap), and the heat up time is much quicker than I thought it would be (around 15 seconds with a single-flame torch).
Here’s a quick list of features and talking points:
- 100% titanium construction (other than the temperature snap disc) – even the cap is now titanium!
- Big, but lightweight – 1.14 oz
- Mates with 10mm and 14mm glass joints
- Seven airflow settings on the condenser tube
- Works with new DynaVap dosing capsules! (one included)
- Scratch resistant medical grade titanium
- Includes a wood Slimstash (no magnet)
- Works with iSpire Heat Wand (but not older DynaVap induction heaters)
- Compatible with older DynaVap stems and parts
- Made in the USA
- Hyper cap only fits the Hyper tip. Neither is compatible with older tips and caps.
Early thoughts

- At first, I heated up this cap just like I did the regular caps, but the cook was much darker. I used a single-flame torch and like to heat the very bottom of the cap for a full cook. With the HyperDyn, I had to dial it down a little to keep the cook the same. Otherwise I could overdo it on a second heat cycle. I now heat the cap halfway up from the bottom.
- I have yet to enjoy a second heat cycle that didn’t overcook the bowl for me. This is a one-and-done DynaVap for me, which is what I prefer!
- This big bowl is a game-changer. It’s significantly larger than original Vapcaps (almost triple the size), and how much it holds will depend on your pack style. I like to pack it loosley, and get a little less than 0.2 grams in there.
- The dosing capsule works great! The cook is a little lighter, and the capacity is about half of what the tip can hold on its own, but it’s still bigger than a normal Vapcap. I can’t wait for more dosing capsules and a travel caddy!
- It took me a while to get the airflow adjustment right. It’s easier if you set the tube depth and insert it back into the stem with the tip off – then put the tip back on. When I pushed the tube in with the tip installed, sometimes the tube would press against the tip and adjust the setting to more open.
- I would prefer the airport rotated 90 degrees so it’s easier to fine tune during the hit. I was surprised at this airport configuration, and it feels to me like a step backward.
- I haven’t had to adjust my cap at all, but if you need to make yours tighter, it’s a different process than before. Instead of pinching the sides of the cap together, you press on the tail so that it’s closer to the opposite side of the cap.

Here’s some eye candy while you wait for the stream to start Friday night!
Tonight, we plan to use all these vapes and let you know how the HyperDyn stacks up! From left to right: Woodwynd, HyperDyn, Anvil, Dani, and Tempest.
Pull out the mouthpiece and this is what you get – the mouthpiece assembly with the condenser tube. This one is set to position five.
Tell us what you think!

Would like to see Troy use his double glass adapter in a water piece with 2 of these….lol
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to ask if you would consider comparing the HyperDyn to the Woodwynd, but replacing the Woodwynd’s vapcap with an Armored Cap
My daily driver these days is a Vong(i) with an M+ tip, and an Armored Cap. I also have the Omni. I find that changing the position of the condenser on my Omni doesn’t really seem to have that much of an effect, so the adjustable condenser on the HyperDyn doesn’t intrigue me too much.
However, I am interested to see if the HyperDyn’s performance can come close to the M+ tip/Armored Cap combination. It’s hard for me to describe what exactly I’m looking for, but I’m pretty sure I’ll know it when I see it.
Thanks for doing such a great job keeping us all informed, and entertained!
Best,
gefrepnel
I’m not sure if we covered that exact combination during the stream, but I did hit all that shit and comment on it! I hope it helps!
Titanium doesn’t conduct heat like copper or even SS so I would think you would want to rotate it.
