Hmmm... been awhile - any updates Wes?? Curious.

Talked to him in an email recently, he said that the ceramic insulators should be coming in, at which point he will test the new design and begin to replace the "beta" units. Thereafter the website will come up and production will begin.
 
cbonan,
It will be interesting to see what modifications will be done for the first production models! This is where I will be putting on my running sneakers and hop on the bandwagon.

Hello All!

Testing, researching, developing, never ceased on the OCD units. It takes a long amount of time to get custom parts made and even longer when your only a one-man-band. It was a tricky year trying to balance being a full time student and continuing and constant R&D needed to make this vaporizer into something that we all wanted. I wanted to keep things short, as I do not want anyone to feel as though I'm trying to use the forum for a perpetual advertising board, but I can post any and all pictures and information that you happen to request or if you find it necessary. The new year will mark the opening of the OCD website, where I hope you'll find answers to some of your questions about the new design. I tried to be as detailed as possible but mistakes happen, so if you see something I missed in the FAQ or wherever just shoot me a line and I'll inform & fix.

I have emailed all (to the best of my knowledge) previous OCD patrons concerning the shipment of their new and upgraded units. The Old City Diffusers site was launched about 12 hours ago, so that all of the previous owners would have access to an online how-to-guide, as well as access to all of the information on the site. I will not open the store for business until all of the previous patrons have a new unit in their hands.

Here is how it will function: the how-to-guide on the site might answer some of your questions as well as the information sections too. The vaporizer that is shown here with both vertical and horizontal Vapor-Tubes attached is just for illustrative purposes... Hope you all enjoy!

The vaporizer is technically reversible, The external heating element that is encased in double-walled borosilicate glass which acts as a hollow super-heated tunnel for which unheated air is forced into. The design on this heating element forces all air to travel through a heated orifice which aids in cultivating an even and efficiently heated air pathway. The vertical feature requires less power for vaporizing but is also capable of higher temperatures, larger capacity, and larger draws than the horizontal. The horizontal feature allows for the use of a smaller chamber size, suitable for those solo vaporists' who are mindful of conserving herbal blends. The benefit of using the horizontal feature is that it is nearly impossible to accidentally combust any plant material which may work well for novice users or those who just enjoy the peace of mind. Each position was designed to have their own unique experience and each has their respective advantages and disadvantages compared to one and the other.. More detailed information can be found on the site, I just thought I would give you all an example of some of the changes...

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you like purpleheart - it is a bear to work with! (no offense to bears). The striped purpleheart/cherry and the purpleheart are smaller sized units, they are in the works right now as I am drilling/assembling them. Exotic woods are often the hardest to work with, so I will only make them available once they are completed, each one is like an individual journey to get it done - the amazing and unique properties of wood also make it somewhat unpredictable...

Cost - I have taken a serious amount of time into research for each individual part that goes into these units. I try to use only the safest and high quality materials all-around, and the heating element and ceramic insulator are custom made for OCD and have required a large amount of capital to get right. Each part from building the heating assembly, drilling and boring operations, etc are all carried out by just one person, me. After it is all said and done, I believe I am going to have to raise the prices in order for the business to have the ability to keep it self afloat and I believe that the time, consideration, and quality spent on each unit it is well worth it... The cost of the new OCD package will be around $225 for the cylindrical style body and standard sized power chord. As soon as I get a new shipment of wood in and the previous patrons all receive their new units, I'll put the store up. I was hoping on running a sale exclusively for FC users but nothing has been set in stone at the moment. I could also offer units that have been cosmetically nicked for a severe discount to those who would like an OCD vaporizer but just cannot afford the full price. I'll work on the details of this more and try to get back to you. My brain is fried after days behind a computer screen trying to get the site up!:peace:

These units will be available anywhere that USPS will ship them... I do however only have 110v versions available at the moment and it may require a power converter / adapter to work correctly.

Great work coming from the OCD camp, cant wait till they are ready for launch. Put this silly collector of fog machines on the list. Very interested in a cosmetically nicked unit too. As the festive season has knocked the wind out of my personal economy. :)

Glad to have you back in... Still a great looking vape, and some nice improvements to boot.

I can't wait to check this thing out first hand! It looks like a lot of thought has been put into the design. :)

Wow,

These are definitely some beautiful works of art, The website is really fresh too.
It seems that you took your time when designing this thing.

It's kind of like a Frankenvape in my opinion, It's like you took all the best functions of vapes on the market and put it into one. :lol:

I will be following this thread.

I finally unboxed my OCD and it looks awesome. Wes obviously put everything into conceptualizing, designing and building this.
Over the weekend I'll begin using this and I'm quite sure it's going to blow me away. The variable temp control is a big plus for me as I prefer a cooler vape, I know others prefer the opposite.
At the outset I won't be using this with a bong, I want to see what this does without enhancements.
Anyway here's two quick photos of what my OCD looks like - I think this is drool worthy...
Thank you Wes!

The little dots around the temp dial are not just a surface mark. They are inlaid wood! He obviously puts a lot of time into each unit.

Great! I'm glad you like it so far. I hope it treats you well. I am excited to be able to devote more (if not all) of my time to OCD. I have been hammering out some new ideas and designs lately - kind of on a creative high, so I'm taking advantage of it while its here... The storefront should be open once I get a stock of more clear/stable species in (like the cherry units you see here)... oddly enough some more custom one-off units will probably be available sooner than the standard packages, seems a little backwards but I want the site to accurately reflect what I have in stock, so I just have to go with the flow...


P.s. - I'll try to update you guys more now that I have time to focus on more areas of OCD - but I ALWAYS try my best to respond to personal emails with punctuality, but again I'm far from perfect...

Wes, I gotta say -- both you and Rick here have been absolutely awesome to deal with, even if you're still getting your bearings as a one-man startup. I just got my new OCD and your approach on this new one is as versatile as it is unusual. I can't thank you enough for cutting early adopters a seriously killer price to have the new model.

I've gotta put this one through the paces before I say anything specific, but I can already tell the vapor tubes are a step above the previous ones and you've taken input on them to heart. Also the fast heatup time is much appreciated since unfortunately my current circumstances don't allow me to have my RockZap plugged in all the time, as much as I love that fucking thing.

So far the only idle thought I have is your horizontal port is almost the right size to take a 'Zap Glass Tooty except it's a smidge too small in diameter, though your stems do fit in the RockZap a bit loose. So close to having a standard size here!

Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
