Cap Armor adds stainless steel mass to a DynaVap Captive Cap for steadier heating, less spinning, and stronger dry herb extraction with the same click.
Cap Armor is a stainless steel performance upgrade for DynaVap Captive Caps that adds thermal mass, improves heat retention, and delivers stronger, more consistent dry herb extraction.
Cap Armor is a precision-machined stainless steel sleeve designed to snap over a compatible DynaVap Captive Cap. Instead of replacing your cap, it upgrades the one you already use β adding thermal mass, improving heat retention, and increasing overall vaporizer performance.
You still get the same familiar click and timing cues, but with smoother heating and stronger, more repeatable results.
Thermal mass plays a major role in how a torch heated vaporizer performs. With more stainless steel surrounding the cap, heat spreads more evenly across the surface instead of concentrating in small hot spots.
For DynaVap users, this means less spinning, less technique, and far more repeatable results. You can simply aim your torch, allow the cap to heat naturally, and wait for the familiar click.
Because Cap Armor holds heat longer, it helps the DynaVap extract more from your dry herb in fewer heat cycles. Many users find it pushes their setup much closer to a powerful βone-hitβ extraction style.
Torch placement still controls intensity β heating higher on the cap produces lighter hits, while heating lower increases power β but the added mass makes these results far easier to reproduce.
Cap Armor is often considered a modular alternative to the discontinued DynaVap Armored Cap. Instead of committing to a dedicated cap, this approach lets you add or remove performance whenever you want.
You can use it full-time, rotate it between caps, or remove it entirely β making it one of the most flexible DynaVap upgrades available.
Because Cap Armor uses a press-fit design, small cosmetic impressions on the upper crimp of the cap may occur over time. This does not affect performance or function.
Cap Armor is available from Sneaky Pete Store:
No. You still heat the same way and rely on the same click. Cap Armor simply improves heat distribution and retention.
Yes. Reduced spinning and smoother heating make it a beginner-friendly DynaVap upgrade.
Yes. It can be installed or removed at any time without permanently altering your cap.
Yes. Cap Armor works well with the DynaVap half-bowl setting and other efficient dry herb techniques.
