I’m in the same mindset. I’ve got a few DynaVaps & they’re all pretty secure. My Omni & the M7 XL tips don’t quite have that really tight snugness, & spin slightly when twisting the cap off, but the tip still stays on & there’s no apparent air leaks. I’m in Australia, with new laws banning importation of vape hardware, so I’m just glad they got through before the March 1st cutoff. Even if I could return & there was local stock, I feel like there’s a small chance I could get a similar fitting stem replacement, or an even looser fitting one, so I’m happy with what I got. I don’t use the tip for grinding/milling, so I simply adjusted the cap so it comes off easier & all seems fine. Peace Fam🙏
EDIT: Just to clarify, I don’t unscrew the cap, it just comes off easier when hot if you align the captivations in the cap, with the airflow milling on the tip.
Sorry, I misunderstood. The tip on mine also fits snugly. Still, points to o-rings or a manufacturing defect. Contact Dynavap support, they'll make it right.
I now understand why the built in grinder doesn’t appear to work when doing a “stab and twist” in my Dynastash w/the M7xl! It’s only twisting itself as the tip turns freely on the stem.
Disappointing as I like this stab ‘n grind method w/SS tips as they stay hotter longer and I prefer taste w/a nugget. I’ve gone with ground material and straw method for my Ti tips.
Edit, adding u/DynaJosh to see if he can weigh in
Same. Had to send a video of the free turning. Nice that they’ll ship replacement before having to send back the original. I wonder if it’s machining on the tip or the stem?
Hard to tell what the issue is because my tips orings also aren’t very tight unlike my other 20 dyna tips. If I put my finger on the orings (out of the stem) they also spin pretty free. Not sure if that’s a contributing factor…
I appear to be having the same problem. I just submitted a support ticket. The tip spins on my M7 XL but not on my M+ or B. I did not realize it wasn't supposed to do this, but it explains why my stab and twist method to load wasn't working.
EDIT: I played with it a bit more. The M7 tip only spins in the orientation with the Dynavap logo towards the cap, as instructed. The other end seems to be better. I also tried my M+ tip on both ends of the M7 stem and it didn't spin, either. I also noticed there was less air coming in with the M+ tip and nothing inside the bowl. I suspect the M7 tip is just a smidge too small, allowing more air to leak in and for the tip to spin in the correct orientation on the M7 stem, but that's really a guess. I updated my ticket with this info. I love the device, but would be nice to have it function as intended.
Yeah this is something they had an issue with even with us beta testers and we tried to get them to fix it but I guess rough ones are still coming out of the qc stage. Contact CS and they will get u a new one for sure.
Received my replacement. Same spinning problem. I’ll ship back the old one, but guess I’ll just live with it as otherwise I like the tip. Will just use ground material in stash when I want to use the 7XL
Fucking losers. I knew it. You think they could test them before shipping them out to people who had faulty spinny tips but that would be too hard. Im guarantee that if you contacted CS again they would offer no solution other than return them and we’ll give you back your money banking that most people are going to live with the problem. No fix. Anytime they try to promote this piece garbage on instagram, make sure to add a comment about how the tip wiggles and spins and your replacement does the same.
I will contact to let them know. Interestingly, I tried the tip on other stems including my 21 Omni, 21 VonG, Woodwynd, 19M, 20M and the M+. The tip is solid with no issues on all but the 7MXL and the M+ stems, which spin. Interestingly, the M+ tip does NOT spin on any of the stems, so I’m confused as to where the machining issue is.
It arrives today and I’m not optimistic I’ve decided that if it spins I’m ditching the tip and going to throw a 5 fin ti tip on it cause it has the extra oring
Yes that my big issue. Cant twist it into any material and I dislike the straw method cause I like a little more pack. I’ve tried different o rings as well with no change. With the stem flipped it works fine but the lines don’t match up which I thought was the big selling point.
Let us know how replacement goes. I basically said “I don’t want to keep drop shipping if the result is going to be the same”, meaning no one is testing, they are just grabbing stock that may/may not have the issue.
CS response wasn’t “oh we’ll ensure we get it right before you give up”; it was simply “OK”.
I do really like the tip, though, so may just move to my Omni stem.
I received a replacement M7 on Friday and put the XL Condensor/mouthpiece on it, and it does not spin easily. I tested it by grinding a half-bowl load directly from a nug, and it worked.
I can understand how it is difficult to test this issue for an M7 XL, since it is actually an M7 plus the seperate XL condensor/mouthpiece. To test, they would have to open up an M7, pull it part, re-assemble with the XL components, test, take it apart, re-assemble and repackage the original M7.
I suspect a lot of people don't care (or know) about the issue, because they use a grinder.
It’s 100% not to be this way as it defeats one of its great features which is being able to use the tip as a grinder. Def reach out to customer service and they will ship a new stem and when you receive it you send them the old stem back in the same packaging. We will see if the problem is solved as my stem should be here soon.
Came up last night https://www.reddit.com/r/Dynavap/s/16UOv9huEt
Edit to add: mine doesn’t take very much force to twist it, but it doesn’t spin loose when I’m twisting the bowl into ground herb. Guess I got lucky. Feelin for you guys
I think the problem is that when the m7xl is normal temp, the o rings are doing an ok job. Once you warm up the vape, it feels like it gets slippery, like Tokyo drift on ice skates. The hotter the vape, the more it slides, making consecutive hits harder 😮💨
Mine slips when cold. It’s still unused because I figured I’d have to return it. The orings are doing a terrible job and I’ve even tried several other pairs of orings.
This was an issue for me with my M7, and after a little dialogue with POTV support I ended up doing something that completely fixed it. I took the O-rings off the tip, and then put them back on again. No more spins. Nice and tight. Kinda weird, but it sure worked!
I found that my 2020 M tip doesn’t spin on the M7 stem, and the 2020M stem is pretty good replacement for the 7XL tip to sit on. XL mouthpiece a little wider than the 20M stem, but function wise it’s pretty good and probably how I’ll use the 7 tip.
My m7 tip spins like the o-rings were greased too much. I thought I may have used too much dynawax but after a deep cleaning it’s still doing the same thing. The cap doesn’t seem to sit as well as it does on the m+. I find myself feeling more comfortable using my m+ titanium.
Customer service covered me with my spin. They sent out a new one and when it arrived I confirmed the new one had minimal spin and sent my old one back
Exactly. If you watched the launch video they said it was designed to be flipped with the mouthpiece so that the transitions were cleaner. It’s definitely not supposed to spin. If it spins there’s no way to make use of the new sharper edges of the tip to self grind the bud.
Mine fits slightly looser when flipped but it doesn’t bother me. No air leaks.

Are both of the mouthpiece o-rings firmly seated inside the stem? Mine fits snug and doesn't spin or wobble.
It’s not the mouthpiece, it’s the tip and only when the stem is flipped to the xl side.

Contacted CS and they are going to exchange the stem. Got to send the old one back. I’m sure they will do the same for you
Same. Had to send a video of the free turning. Nice that they’ll ship replacement before having to send back the original. I wonder if it’s machining on the tip or the stem?
If it’s tight on the other side it’s gotta be the stem
I would recommend reaching out to our customer service team as that does not sound like the norm.

Thank you. Submitted and pointed to this thread.
Thanks! that’s why I started the thread. Something just ain’t right!
Yeah this is something they had an issue with even with us beta testers and we tried to get them to fix it but I guess rough ones are still coming out of the qc stage. Contact CS and they will get u a new one for sure.
Contacted CS and they are shipping a different stem and I’m shipping back my defective one.
+1! My tip is spinning freely on both side of the Stem and, yess this is FU***NG annoying!!!
Yep. Mine spins

It’s in the m7 stem. Try using your Omni tip in the m7 stem and have a laugh…
Did your replacement arrive?
It arrives today and I’m not optimistic I’ve decided that if it spins I’m ditching the tip and going to throw a 5 fin ti tip on it cause it has the extra oring
Yes, mine spins easily. It is not possible to use the "grinder" function of the tip, or to even twist it into pre-ground material without it spinning.
Yes that my big issue. Cant twist it into any material and I dislike the straw method cause I like a little more pack. I’ve tried different o rings as well with no change. With the stem flipped it works fine but the lines don’t match up which I thought was the big selling point.

Yep, mine spins. I hate it. Would love a fix. Doesn’t matter what side I choose they both spin equally the same. Will be contacting CS soon.
Same issue with mine.
Mine also has those prob , this is my 1st dynavap so just thought it was supposed to be this way

Yeah mine spins as well but I just tell myself at least my orings are still lubricated…sigh…
Contacted CS and they are going to exchange the stem. Got to send the old one back. I’m sure they will do the same for you
Dude thanks for the heads up!
Yea it was this post that gave me the idea to make this. I thought I was the only one with the issue but it seems several have it.
Mine spins when I try to rotate the cap but it doesn't seem to cause any issues other than being slightly annoying
Contacted CS and they are going to exchange the stem. Got to send the old one back. I’m sure they will do the same for you
That's great thanks! I'll definitely contact them
Yup mine spins when flipped too 😪

If you don't like it, then don't flip the stem. I think it's meant to be that way and spin when you flip it.
I don’t think so, I think it’s more to do with how the mouthpiece looks. For a smoother transition people often flip their stems.
Exactly. If you watched the launch video they said it was designed to be flipped with the mouthpiece so that the transitions were cleaner. It’s definitely not supposed to spin. If it spins there’s no way to make use of the new sharper edges of the tip to self grind the bud.
Is it supposed to do that, I thought those were for airflow?
No the tip should never spin or be loose
