Dynavap M 2021 Review

DynaVap M 2021 Vaporizer Review

DynaVap M 2021 Overview

DynaVap has been a stable top brand when it comes to torch-style portable vaporizers since their first model five years ago. Every year, they have improved upon their original battery-free vaporizer design, and the Dynavap M 2021 is no exception.

There is a reason why DynaVap’s products are so popular – They are effective and super affordable & in this Dynavap M 2021 Review we’ll be going over its key features to help you decide whether you should upgrade or not – Let’s get into it. 

DynaVap M Specs and Ratings 

How does the temperature control work?

Although the heating is manual, vapers will have full control of how they choose to heat their product. Whether that be with a butane torch lighter, or with a sold-separately induction heater, there is full temperature control as there would be on an electric device.

The DynaVap is calibrated to click when it reaches 350 Fahrenheit so that you know when to inhale. Where it gets interesting is when people can either let it cool down before a second click, heat much past the click, or have two or three separate click inhales. As DynaVap states though, ‘Respect the click!’

How to use the Dynavap M 2021?

Like the older Dynavap models, the M2021 will click to let you know when the chamber has been sufficiently heated and is ready for a hit.

There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to figuring out the best method for yourself.

We’ve found that our favorite style is a one-hitter which is done by re-heating the cap again after the first click for a second – The result is a massive cloud. To do this, wait for the second click as it cools down from your first. In other words, you’ll be hitting it after it clicks for a third time from your torch lighter. This option works especially well with a Dynavap 10mm J-Hook accessory for an old-fashioned pipe experience.

For a more relaxed session, you’ll be able to get two or three click and inhale cycles before the weed is fully spent.

How to heat the VapCap?

If you didn’t know, where you place your torch onto the VapCap does matter. If you focus on heating the tip, you’ll have more cloud production, and heating the middle will be a slower click with more of a terpene profile! When using a butane lighter, it is best to rotate the chamber to make sure everything gets heated evenly.

For a quick reload, have a DynaStash nearby with finely ground in the holding chamber. Take the lid off with the magnet, knock the old chamber product out with a pick tool, and then push the chamber into your dry herb!

Dynavap M 2021 Vapor Quality

The vapor quality is slightly improved over the M 2020. Despite the small 0.15g chamber size, the clouds can be quite large and potent. 

Dynavap Induction Heaters

Dynatec APOLLO 2 The Apollo 2 is specifically made by Dynatec for Dynavap vaporizers. Using induction heating, the cap can be heated in as little as five to eight seconds. To use: Simply power the heater on, wait for the red heating light, insert the vape and gently press down, and then wait for the dry herb vaporizer cap to click to let you know that it is ready to be hit. An automatic shut-off timer will occur after 15 seconds to prevent any kind of burning from happening. Chargeable with a standard North American power plug.

Dynatec Apollo 2 – this induction heater works to heat up Dynavaps in as little as five to eight seconds. This model better detects the pen’s presence, and the shutoff timer is reduced to ten seconds. To charge, there is now wall charging. However, there is no pass through charging. The exterior is very durable, and you can expect 40 hits before a recharge is needed. 

VapeHeater Go – This is a battery powered option induction heater made for portability. The heating time is four to eight seconds, and users can expect 50 uses before needing a recharge. Like the other models, there is a magnet for cooling the device before hitting it when needed.

DynaVap UFO Heater – The DynaVap UFO is a smaller induction heater as you can see in the photo below. It heats very quickly but has a smaller battery life compared to competitors. Luckily, there is USB-C fast charging and two chamber cooling magnets on the body of the heater. 

Depending on your feedback, we are interested in bringing one of these Dynavap induction heaters into our catalog. Let us know in the comments which to choose!

Dynavap M Micro dosing

The small chamber means that this is one of the best portable micro-dosing vaporizers on the market. Just a quick step outside, several seconds of heating, and a puff are all you will need for a fast session if you’re interested in the health benefits of microdosing.

Dynavap M 2021 vs M 2020 comparison

In our Dynavap M 2021 review, we found that although the core of the device remains the same, there are quite a few notable quality-of-life changes between the 2021 and 2020 models – The engineers have made some slight design choices to improve the vapor quality, ease of use, and overall style. Although subtle, they do make some differences when it comes to taking hits.

• End Cap Crown

The end cap features a new crown design that has deeper and more grooves than the Dynavap 2020 M model. This helps to cap to stay in place during a session. The more surface area also means the heat in the chamber will also be better distributed to the product.

• Hourglass figure

The Dynavap M 2021 features a new slimmer and ergonomic design in the middle of the body. It is better contoured along the middle of the device to increase the density of vapor on each hit. They have also updated the ridges to be rougher. Because of this, the narrower section is easier to carry in the hand during a hit or while rotating during heating.

• Improved Airflow

The angle of the airflow ports has been slightly adjusted on the M 2021. The carved M-shape of the airport has been divided into two smaller holes. With the improved rocker at the base of the vape, you now have quite a bit of control over each hit. To adjust airflow, you can now hit fully, half-closed, or fully.

Packaging

The packaging has been upgraded to be made of 100% recycled material, for those that control their carbon footprint. If you don’t mind carrying your lighter separately, it’s a pretty nifty vape case. 

How to clean the M2021 DynaVap?

Cleaning has been made a breeze by separating the pieces, taking off the O-rings, and then a fast soak in isopropyl alcohol. Cleaning sticks and cleaning wipes can make this process even easier. After everything is dried, simply put the vaporizer back together and it will be good to go. For heavy users, you may consider a Dynavap maintenance kit for more longevity.

Who’s the DynaVap M 2021 for? 

For those looking to get into vaping, this is a great entry-level vaporizer that can be taken anywhere. For vape connoisseurs, they will appreciate the unique portability of something they can hit discreetly with a lighter anywhere they’d like – Plus there are tons of different accessories that you can use to customize your vaporizer with!

Who’s the DynaVap not for?

The DynaVap is certainly not for people who don’t like carrying a lighter around, or for those who might have mechanical problems. Due to its smaller chamber, it’s also not the best for people with a built-up tolerance unless you don’t mind doing multiple bowls back to back. Those heavy users might be better off with a desktop vaporizer like the Arizer XQ2. 

DynaVap M 2021 Accessories

• For just a few dollars, you can pick up the DynaVap Fat Mouthpiece to convert the vaporizer’s mouthpiece into a 14mm water pipe adapter which you can then use on something like the MEGA Bubbler
• If you’re having trouble with accidentally combusting, try picking up a cheap induction heater like the UFO
• The DynaVap Tiny Bubbler is a cheap bubbler that can help boost your vapor quality for a low cost 
• The Triple Flame Torch seems to be the best lighter amongst different community forums for the VapCap

DynaVap M 2021 Tips and Tricks 

You’ll be able to adjust the size of your chamber by changing which slot the internal screen is placed inside the chamber. There are two slots, the full-sized and standard 0.15g, and the 0.075g half-sized slot. If you prefer smaller microdoses throughout the day, you might want to stick to the smaller screen size. 

Over time, your chamber lid can become loose throughout many heating and cleaning sessions. Luckily, there is a quick fix to help if your cap is starting to fall off. By simply squeezing the chamber lid, you can readjust it to be tight like the day you got it.

DynaVap M 2021 Cons 

Final thoughts

The DynaVap brand has always been unique compared to the rest of the portable vaporizer market. Despite the DynaVap M 2021’s affordability, there is still super awesome vapor quality from the pure stainless steel vapor path. The engineering is top-tier, and for a manual device, the clouds are very impressive.

You won’t have to worry about any parts breaking and the durability is simply amazing. The improvements from the Dynavap M 2020 make it more comfortable in the hand, and the vapor quality is also slightly better. You will not have to worry about parts needing to be replaced, and the durability is amazing.

However, be aware that you must have access to a butane torch lighter or induction heater for best results and these are not the most portable on their own.  

For heavy users that will prefer longer sessions or a more easily reloadable, you should consider the Mighty+ as an alternative as its dosing capsules allow much easier overall sessions.
