Colored DynaVap M 2020

While you may have seen a number of different vendors coloring DynaVap M vaporizers, the majority of them are simply anodizing the devices. There’s nothing wrong with anodizing, but these official DynaVap ones use a different process which is called physical vapor deposition (PVD).

PVD is done in a vacuum environment and it creates a very strong bond, resulting in a durable and resilient coating. Over time any finish is going to wear, especially if you use it a lot in a glass joint or it rubs against your keys all the time, but PVD does keep very well when you treat the device with a normal degree of care.

One thing that is cool is that DynaVap applies the same coating to the interior components as well, so the condenser will match with the body and cap. This year they made the PVD coating the final step in the manufacturing process, so the coating goes over the laser engraved logo on the cap, rather than the laser engraving going over the color as seen on the Colored 2019 M. This makes the logo a lot more subtle, which I prefer.

DynaVap have done a similar variation of this dark grey color in the previous generations and it looks just as fantastic on the M 2020. It gives the device a much more stealthy matte look instead of the usual shiny finish, and it also makes it less slippery to hold, which is a nice bonus. Black or dark colors are always popular choices for vaporizers, a lot of people like their gear to look low-key, and this dark matte finish certainly fits into that category.

Due to the PVD process no two vaporizers will be identical, so each one of these Colored M 2020’s is going to look slightly different to its siblings. What you’ll notice on many of these PhantoMs is that there’s a subtle blue tint to the grey coating. Varying hues of light play differently, and I found that when I took the mine outside the sunlight really highlighted those nice blue colors, which added a cool dimension to its look.

As much as I like the AzuriuM and the PhantoM, the RosiuM has a special charm that is really difficult to ignore, magenta is its primary color, with stunning highlights of gold, green, and blue. Between the three coating options, you’re going to find the most variation on the RosiuM, each one has a unique pattern, and because they have the same thermal canvas feature as the AzuriuM you have the option of adding even further to that uniqueness.

The RosiuM was super popular last year and I think that’s going to be the case again this year, because the 2020 version is even more beautiful than its predecessor.
