DynaVap The BB3

The BB3 has no condenser, so everything the vapor gives up lands on the inside of the glass stem, on the three beads and in the divots that make it cool well in the first place. Those recesses are exactly where residue collects, and a loaded BB3 goes cloudy long before the draw feels restricted. The other spot is the stainless CCD screen under the M 7 tip's 0.1g bowl.

Quick Cleaning (After Each Session)

1. Let the tip cool: Wait for the cooldown click, then another minute before pulling anything apart.
2. Empty and brush the bowl: Knock the spent material out of the tip and sweep the chamber so the CCD stays clear.
3. Wipe the airport and the taper: A dry cotton bud over the airport, and a cloth over the 10mm taper so it still seats cleanly in glass.

Deeper Cleaning (Every Few Sessions)

1. Break it into three pieces: Slide the Captive Cap off, then pull the stainless tip out of the glass stem. If the tip feels stuck, warm the joint under the hot tap and twist rather than lever it.
2. Roll the o-rings off first: There are two high temp o-rings on the tip. Isopropyl dries them out, so take them off, wash them in warm soapy water and set them aside.
3. Soak the glass and the tip: 15 to 30 minutes in 90 percent or stronger isopropyl, or overnight for heavy build up. Hot water with dish soap does the same job more slowly. Agitate the stem so the alcohol works around the beads.
4. Never soak the cap: Swab the inside with a cotton bud. Water caught in the crimped end damages the cap on the next heat cycle, and DynaVap asks for 24 hours of drying if one does get wet.
5. Clear the beads and divots: A pipe cleaner will not reach into the recesses, so shake the stem in the solvent and repeat the soak rather than trying to scrape them.
6. Deal with the CCD only when it clogs: Push it out from underneath with a blunt tool, soak it separately, then press it back into the slot you want. Stainless CCDs are wear items and DynaVap sells them in packs of three.
7. Rinse hot and dry completely: Alcohol left in the stem is a fire risk once the torch comes out. Wet the o-rings or use DynaWax before refitting them.

Care Tips for Better Results

• Note which slot the CCD sat in before removing it. Low is the full 0.1g bowl, high halves it for microdosing.
• Never scrape the inside of the glass with a metal tool. Soaking is the only safe method here.
• Store it in a DynaStash or SlimStash. The short stem fits either, and glass in a pocket does not end well.
• A medium grind keeps the draw open. See our grind guide.
• Metal polish or a baking soda paste lifts torch soot from the cap and tip. Keep abrasives off the glass.
• Replace the high temp o-rings once the tip wobbles in the stem or the draw starts to whistle.

The BB3 suits someone who wants glass in the airpath but not a glass chamber. The tip is the same stainless M 7 tip DynaVap fits to its mainstream devices, so extraction and bowl size match an M 7 while the beaded stem does the cooling that a condenser would normally handle. At $49 it lands between the G3 and the metal models on our portable budget vaporizers list, and the built in 10mm taper puts it on the water pipe compatible list without an adapter purchase.

The compromises follow from the material. Glass breaks, and DynaVap's lifetime cover does not extend to glass stems, so treat this as a device that lives at home or travels in a stash. The stem is short, which is good for storage but means the vapor path is brief and the draw runs warmer than a long condenser setup, something water filtration fixes if you are using it with glass. There is no condenser to slide either, so airflow adjustment is limited to covering the airport with a finger. If you want adjustable draw and a metal body, read our session vs on-demand guide and then compare it against the B2.
