 Today we're going to talk about the Dynastache, the Dynastache ER, a few of the other variants that came along the way, why it was made, and what the future may hold. Back in the early days, and what I mean early days, I'm talking about generally 2015, DynaVap made one product and it looked like this, the original Glass Vap Cap. Glass is fragile, it likes to break, so it made sense to put it in some sort of a storage device. And the first thing that came to mind was a stash box. So this is one of the first ones that we made, we can tell because it's got the older logo on it. I also know because when I look at the end profile, both sides are rounded. It has two magnets on the back that sit above the surface because it was our first thought in terms of how do we put magnets on here and how do we do it in a way that makes sense. The problem is our devices didn't fit in these first prototypes. The hole was just too small. We had to evolve. As we did evolve, we changed a couple of things. Number one is, let's see, grab those a little bit further along. Do I have one that fits Ben? Yeah, this one fits. Second iteration of the DynaStash, this one still had, again, the rounds on both sides. We were still putting magnet pockets on the back side, which didn't make sense because why would we want to put our logo face down? But we opened things up internally so that our product would fit. And now we had a place that you could put your fragile device that it would protect it and give you a little bit of a storage compartment that you could keep a small supply of your favorite flower. After we got our sizing so our device would fit, the next thing that I wanted to work on was making it a little bit more identifiable as one of our products. One of the things we ended up doing was beveling right along just one side of the device so that you would know that the beveled side is where the garage where the device goes so that when you hold it in your hand I would know just by touch where everything is located so that when I open the lid without even looking at it I'd know where my device is without having to look at it. And it was also kind of nice because it meant that for pictures it would stand up. Regarding the magnets, the first ones they were above the surface, magnet protruded, tried some bigger ones and you know the device would never sit in the middle of the magnet. It was really annoying. I had a solution for that and it came from another project that I was working on making magnetic device mounts. We tried using a laser to actually laser the magnet pocket to try and keep it more precise but the laser although it cuts wood nicely and very precisely in the XY plane it's not very precise in the Z plane. This is one of our first flush magnets. It's like oh that's so much nicer having the magnet just flush with the wood surface. By the time we really kind of got things into production we came up with the whole process in the system so we could drill a very precise hole for the magnet and get it glued in very precisely so that it would be just completely flush with the surface. The only thing you'd really feel is that this wood feels like wood and this isn't the same plane but it feels a little bit smoother because it's a smooth polished piece of metal. This was about the only option that was available just the standard Dynastash through all of 2015 and then into 2016 when you know I was seeing the emergence of the concentrate market. I was like you know how do we make our stash better? Well you know we've got our garage here with our device that sits inside. We've got our stash side here which only goes this deep right which meant we've got all this unused volume of wood right here. Do we just cut it off to make it fit in the pocket better or can we that create a new design makes use of that unused volume for people that are looking for an extra reserve maybe just a little bit of concentrate to go into one of these just very common low-cost silicone pots. You can have a whole bunch of them super easy to just push right in it's very protected it's not going to open up in your pocket some people put screens in them some people put dinocoils in them some people put concentrates in them. We also put a little tool in the device to use if you're going to put concentrates in there and even put a little tiny magnet in the tool so you could stick it to your Dynastash to keep the sticky end up. We did a couple other things in the evolution of the stash one of them is we wanted to make some stash out of some cool materials this was one of them this was a super cool chunk of red mally burl. I purchased the entire burl from this supplier and had it shipped right to the stash manufacturer who then chopped it all up and made all the pieces I think we ended up making about 85 or 90 stashes out of this one burl it was a pretty big one and this is one of the only ones that I've got left just a super cool piece and we left you know a little bit of the the edge on there because when you see the the edge of a red mally burl it's just so interesting just all spiky and all kinds of interesting stuff going on. I don't know if it'd be great to be in your pocket but it sure is cool looking and then came the double ER where it's like well if we can put in one pocket why not put in two so there's effectively no unutilized volume inside the stash this is a kind of a fun little design and then a couple years ago we introduced the slim stash much smaller no storage compartment no magnet but still fits even our original glass vap cap or the vong or any of the devices that we've really made in that standard length we've had a real desire to update and upgrade the stash for quite some time and I'm really hoping that we'll be able to share some of things we've been working on with you in the near future I think having a nice storage option makes sense for our device but until then this is what we have and it seems like it works out pretty well
