DynaVap VonG Portable Vaporizer

The VonG comes in updated packaging which looks pretty cool, it’s a durable hard cardboard tube with wooden ends. My favourite detail is that it sits upright perfectly on one end, making it a perfect VonG stand for your vape station

Comparing this new model to the HydraVonG, which the 2021 VonG is replacing, you can see the design has been completely overhauled. Instead of having a standard titanium DynaVap tip and a wooden body, the VonG has a brand new titanium tip designed specifically for this model, and a titanium body with a wooden sleeve over it. The addition of the titanium body makes the device infinitely more durable, while also solving a couple of issues that we ran into with the wood only body of the HydraVonG.

While the wood only body of the HydraVonG looked cool, wood in this application can be problematic because it is affected by moisture and humidity. You could run into a situation where your device gets wet and swells up in your joint, making it difficult to get out, it could even crack due to the inconsistent nature of wood. The new titanium mouthpiece and inner-body remove these potential problems from the equation, while retaining the attractive wood finish.

The titanium body has a matte finish on it like the Omnivap, I much prefer this over a polished finish, it does a better job of hiding the micro scratches that will appear after you insert the mouthpiece into a water piece over and over again.

The fact that the VonG is fully titanium lined on the inside means that your extraction doesn’t come in contact with any wood, the wood section is only a sleeve that goes around the outside, so you’ll get all the purity benefits of titanium.

The body of the VonG has two crowns, one at each end, the upper crown gives it a cool dynamic look while providing grip as you rotate the device and the lower crown helps prevent air lock, so it won’t get stuck in your water piece. I’m a big fan of the fatter look of this device, it feels chunky and solid.

The wooden section has some cool machining details which add grip and the tactile elements which DynaVap loves to put on their devices. This wooden piece has a rotational damper, this means that when you rotate it to set the airflow at your desired position it’s going to stay there until you move it.

The airport on the VonG is called the eclipsing airport, it is adjusted by rotating the wooden section of the body and you can use it in a few different ways. It can be set fully open so it lets as much cool dilution air in as possible, completely closed so it functions as if the device doesn’t have an airport, resulting in the thickest draw possible, or anywhere in between. Similar to the Omnivap, I like to use this one set at the perfect airflow level so I can use it hands-free.

If you do want to use it like a traditional shotgun you’ll notice that the device sits up nice and high in a 14mm or a 10mm joint, making it very easy to use the airport without the need to dig your fingers down into the joint to access it.

At the bottom of the device, you’ll notice a few things about the mouthpiece have been improved since the last model. Rather than being designed to work with only a 14mm water piece, the VonG has a dual taper, so it’ll fit perfectly in a 14mm or 10mm female water piece. Despite the design aimed at waterpieces, it also has a great mouth feel if you want to use it dry. The HydraVonG was a little bit awkward to use dry as it was wider, so it’s nice that the VonG feels more multipurpose in this way.
