Perma Vaped
I currently have the Volcano classic, V-tower, Iolite, wood and glass VG, MFLB, and the Vape-or-Smoke. Funny thing Ive been Vaping for ever but never thought about looking for a forum about the subject. I found this site by accident one night and i discover the PD. and i fell in love.

just tried out my pd, haven't got a stem/tube yet(long story, bought it secondhand), I have ordered one from ed and I think I will get it tuesday or so(shipping from US to here usually takes about a week), so I made a quick macgyver stem from a straw, the metal bottom of a pringles can, 1 little piece of duct tape and a screen with a hole in it
and even tough this stem probably isn't that good, I already can say I'm very pleased
the main difference wth my VG is that my VG gives much bigger clouds, this only gives a faint bit of visible vapor after a couple of draws
but the taste is there and it gets me really, really high
and obviously I'm really high right now(after 1-1,5 macgyverstem, the first stem wasn't that dark when I blew it out, still a bit green, and the next stem I haven't finished yet)
I'm going to love this thing

djonkoman - i think you'll get more profound and visible clouds of vapor with a proper stem. it's all designed a certain way and that includes a restricted air flow.
ed's stems are great but i think you should order a few "official" PD stems as well, at least down the line.
if you have a bong you are in for a major treat with the PD - it's like PD 2.0. There's mini stems at the PD site which are ideal for bong usage.
Also since you bought your unit second hand you may not have gotten the muslin bag, and if so you should get a few from ebay - they're really cheap.
when you're done with a load you just blow the material out into the bag and save it all up.
when you have 1/2 cup's worth you can use this for mind blowing brownies (not sure if you're aware of this, if you are i apologize).
The PD is the shit.

I have been spending the weekend getting to really know my PD. I must say that I was suprised to see how medicated I could get from such a small bowl. Just one PD stem gets me suprisingly medicated, much more than I thought it would.
I can see I'm going to be saving serious money by using it. I just ran a test to see how much my typical stem load is. It came out to .025g. That means that for me, each stem costs just 31 cents!

I have never thought to figure out how much each stem costs until I read this. Although I have a MZ I figure that there isn't a sizable difference in stem weight (although I know people have reported different weights depending on how heavy they pack the stem/how good their scale is). Did the math and with my prices it comes to about $0.43 per stem. I consider that a bargain for the effects one stem has on me.
Thanks for the idea!

Nice to hear you're enjoying the PD Stu. Have you been using it with your Ben Wilson inline? I've found I really prefer very low-drag pieces with the PD, the peashooter (inline) really seem to offer this for me and I can imagine that your BW does similarly.
The efficiency is hard to realize until you've put one in use for a while. That said, I don't always feel the need to extract as much as I can out of the stem (before its deposited for later use cooking). A hit or two through the bong and I'm happy moving on either though there are often 2+ hits left.
BTW, its worth mentioning that those whip-rippers are great but I have a cut-down stem that doesn't pair well with one of my glass pieces because it doesn't all the necessary clearance for the PD (the PD sits too close to the glass, a taller stem allows enough of a wiggle to let it happen in this case).

I haven't had a chance to try it with my BW yet, but I've ordered a 18-14 reducer for just that reason. I think I remember reading that the PD stem fits nicely into the 14mm downstem, so I hope it works. I also picked up a 33 degree 18-18 adapter to ensure clearence as my downstem sits very close to the tube.
I should get them in the mail early next week and I'll be posting my thoughts shortly thereafter.

Check out post #2, this thread >> http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=3278
11 cents per hit isn't bad, I'd say. My hits are probably smaller, but I'd say at 4 hits per stem, so my cost is only about 8 cents... Any way you slice it, this thing is crazy efficient. Efficiancy wasn't really my priority in getting the PD. In fact, I kinda like to blow through weed quickly so I can try new and different strains. I've got about an eighth or less of 8 different strains in my stash right now. If I only used my PD, it would take me many months before I would need to visit my dispensary, and this makes me sad for some reason. I love shopping for new strains. Maybe I'll start buying by the gram instead of by the 1/8.

Yup. The PD is so awesomely efficient, and satisfyingly so. I can last 4-5 days on a gram if I want to stretch my supply where as a gram used to last me one session, 15-20 minutes. Recently, I've been waiting longer until I vape and I've found that it takes much less to get vaked than when I was vaping earlier and much more. 1 stem gets me nice if I wait until a little before bedtime, at 2 I should just call it a night 
I'm finding I'm enjoying the high better than when I would just wake up and vape 10-15 stems throughout the night.

I actually find it more efficient to buy in large quantities and then store in mason jars. You get bulk discounts and I have no problem vaping the same strain for a while.

totally dude
this way you also get lots of strains over time to mix it up frequently!
I got my 18-14 reducer in the mail today, but they screwed up the order and I didn't get my 33 degree 18-18 adapter. 
As you will see in the pictures, the downstem of my Ben Wilson sits perilously close to the body. So without the adapter, the PD sits really close to my face when I hit (my nose is touching it the entire time), but it's not a bid deal and not too uncomfortable. When I finally do get that 33 degree adapter, it should make all the diference in the world.
Anyway, I tried a couple of vaporbong stems and I was suprised that I got such big rips. I only got about 2 good ones per stem, but it was milkier than I had anticipated. Pleasantly suprised I guess you could say. Here are a couple of pictures I took:
This one was not a very good picture. I tried to take an "action" shot with my iphone, but it didn't come out too well. You can see the vapor in the triple doughnut, though as it was about to be consumed by ME!

The pics are nice it's always great when people share. Would love to see more videos I know spiralarchitect's video has had it's share of viewers - even seems to be popular with other vendors!

My only problem now is my own ability to hold the hit in! I don't know if I just have a weak constitution, but whenever I try to take a hit from the PD I always tend to cough a little bit. I have never been a smoker before this so I haven't hasn't had any prior conditioning. Does anybody else also experience constant itching when using the PD? I'd like to just for once be able to hold a big hit in without having to cough. It would be less suspicious for people outside my room! Right now I'm thinking I just have to get use to it, but it sucks to think that I might be wasting! Thats why I got the PD, to not waste lol ><
Sounds to me like, taking smaller breaths and making sure your smoking mixture is dry would improve results.. and I mean really dry.
let us know if you find a solution!

I got my stem today, and I love it
much better as my macgyverstem, but that stem was only ment to try it out for a night anywayturns out my stem held even less as the real stem
I do get nice little visible clouds now, not as big as my VG but that was what I expevted, and it gets me higher as my VG
I don't have a bong, only combustionarticle I own is a stone pipe, wich I actually bought later as my VG(it was cheap, nice and I don't vape for my health but for the vape-effect, so once in a while I still like to combust, altough lately it's mostly easy and when I'm together with friends, who all combust and I don't always like to explain how to hit the vg, I always loose the first bowl to combustion if I'm with a new user)
before vaping I used to smoke joints so that's why I didn't own pipes, bongs etc, besides pipes and bongs aren't that common here, almost everyone smokes joint with tobacco(I used to smoke pure weed because I have always hated tobacco, the taste and the hurting throat and most of all the effect wich is more potent then weed to me but very unpleasant)
maybe I'll buy a bong sometimes, already knew a PD could be atached to it and that was also one of the reasons the pd sounded awesome to me
one friend of me has a bong, smoked from it twice or so and that is pretty nice, get much higher of it then joints can ever get me
and I already made some awesome brownies and other edibles in the past
but I'm not a big fan of AVB brownies, I like vaping because of the more high effect and I love sativa's but if I have to choose between an indica and being sober, and I'm alone, I would choose being sober(and avb is far more of that effect I don't like)
and edibles in general only get me high if I'm around friends(or maybe people, never tried it with people but no friends)
once I made a cake together with a friend, we spit the cake, that evening I eat half of my half(so a quarter) while watching tv, nothing, no effect at all but a bit of sleepiness/tiredness after a while
and I waited multiple hours
but the next day(or maybe the day after that) it's liberation day(5th of may here, liberation from the germans)
I go to the city(on liberation day there's all kinds f band performing etc in the cities here in the netherlands, an innercity-size party)
I share the last quarter with him and I get really, really high while I only had an 1/8 this time
and the friend that helped baking shared his half with 3 or 4 people or so
once I made brownies with only or almost only avb, spent the entire night apathic staring at the tv, not having much fun
while a lot of frends around me were really high from it and having fun(we ate the plate of brownies with around 15-20 people I think, it was someone's birthday I think)

I rotate through three dealers, all very nice guys and i turned two of them onto vaporizing - one of them, an African American fellow, he was ribbing me how white people love their MJ gadgets which is funny.... I heard this once on a comedy special on cable. Dealers can't possibly love the efficiency factor of the PD. After i demonstrated and dumped out a stem and said, "see how little we actually used?" I could see this was was both impressed but maybe a little concerned that this could effect business if I did flea market demonstrations.

re: PD or whatever brownies - I don't know man... I get so fucked up from ABV brownies sometimes I literally can't get off the floor, but I prepare it in a very specific way: 1/2 cup ABV ground to powder in electric coffee grinder. Add 1/2 cup canaola oil and a teaspoon of vinegar and a dash of salt. Seal up in a jar and leave in dark place for four days or so, shaking once or twice a day. Then I mix it with the brownie recipe and never heat higher than 325. Let cool and see God in colors.

Madcap, read this thread about bong vaping with the PD -
http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?pid=23371#p23371
Not sure if the stem was designed in size to fit so perfectly in a standard 14mm bong joint or if it's serendipity but I'm glad you're enjoying it.
NYCDeisel - forget what I said about the SSV not hitting as well as the VB through the bong - my friend brought over his SSV last night and it works as least as good.
"Hits like a motherfucker" was the general consensus. I'm going to have to send my SSV back to 7th Floor for a repair - after three years it's not performing optimally. I got my VB back from repair today so later tonight or tomorrow I'm going to A/B bong vaping with the two units and I'll report back my findings if it helps you in your buying decision for a whip vape. I also have a vaporbox and I suspect that this may best all of them for this heavy hitting function and it's the least expensive.
