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.
That's a sharp looking vapman. It has a cult-like following among some for good reason. They've been in business a long time. I remember trying out a Vapman about 8 years ago - it was quite a tasty conduction vape. Although as usual, I totally wouldn't share mine with friends for fear they'd combust haha.
It's a well built device and I totally get why people like it.
Although I personally am a Lotus fan - I much prefer the pure convection heating over the conduction heating of the Vapman. I was so sad when Max announced he was closing Lotus vapes. But it makes me so happy to know that Vapman acquired the rights and started building the Lotus again - I can't wait to add a vapman built copy to my collection some day.
I actually think the Vapman is more forgiving wrt combustion than other butane vapes; I've combusted in all my Dynas, Anvil, and Sticky Brick;. but never in my Vapman. Maybe it's because I'm less confident with my technique, so I tend to creep up on the temp rather than blasting past it.
Heard great things about the Lotus. It's def on my radar; which no other prod vapes really are - think Toad, Tetra etc. I have such a nice collection - altho not super extensive - that I'm not really interested in anything but the niche/artisan vapes now. I think my first TinyMight was order 300-and-something, back in Jan/February 2020; and I've been sold on small makers and craftsmen (Delta… take a bow...) ever since.
Yeah, I'd agree with that, but I usually don't share butane vapes in general with friends because I'm a flavor chasing snob.
The Lotus is a wild stallion - it's insanely easy to overheat and combust and takes a lot of practice to master draw speeds and torch control. I personally found a figure-8 pattern was optimal, but you gotta keep that torch moving to avoid overheating and burning one section of the flower.
But I've never had a vaporizer that would let me reach the cusp of combustion without flashing over - I loved that vape with a grav-labs j-hook with a pinch of water in the crook to give it a natural perc bubbler that was extremely soothing on the lips with it's purring sensation haha.
The TM is a hell of a beautiful device - I've handled both models quite a bit, but haven't had the chance to add one to my personal collection (I've got literally too many devices in my collection already haha).
The bendy educational thing, wossit, learning curve, is real.
i find I have to use it regularly, or I lose the knack; but man this thing is superlative when I'm on point.
