Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

quest for herb said:

I'm curious if anyone with a PD has used it for other herbs (not the legal bud stuff, but more along the lines of a drier form of sheisha or similar.

During the recent demo of the log type vapes, before the group went private they used spearmint.
I did not get to try it from the PD, but from one of the others. It had a great flavor, (and I believe I felt very clear headed)
I don't own one of these types of vapes yet, but my wife and I sometimes vape eucalyptus and lemon balm through my SSV. ( She does not use "medication") I keep a seperate wand/whip for herbs so it does not foul up later attempts at reclamation of oils.( and also because my wife does not want to chance getting a "buzz")
With the PD, it would be just as easy to keep a seperate tube. What I never learned from any of the PD people here yet, was if they do any "harvesting" with those stems, or just clean them out!

Harvesting for sure

The provided 'cleaning bottle' allows a user to soak stems easily. I generally just keep the same ISO in there for many cleanings and evaporate the remains later. That said, more recently I've been simply scraping the stems (with a long skinny tube) and much prefer the initial 'oiliness' of the reclaim as opposed to the evaporated ISO method (I still clean/soak the stem in ISO afterwards to get them fully cleaned).


Thanks to Tom and Pammy for the 'non-winner prizes.' Very much appreciate the extra stem, wood stem-cap and pretty stone.

Just 'harvested' last night from one of my tubes. Got an eraser-size ball of sticky vapor particles. It is decently potent, though tastes like ass. Much prefer vaping fresh herbs Good thing was I got a pretty decent amount from only 2-3 weeks of vaping with that stem. Lasts a while in the vape, but like I said the taste is meh.

Thanks Vitolo, I have tried fresh mint myself and enjoyed the taste, even added it to my herb but haven't recently. I'm not so concerned with the effects of the vaping of these other options, more just for something to vape to pass the time like when my wife and I pass the hooka hose back and forth

We have also tried wild dagga and a few other things I ordered a bit back and liked them as far as they went. I just stopped mixing it with my herb so I could cook with it later.

I think keeping a separate wand/tube will be the way to go, now if I can just get someone to hire me soon I can put in my order for a PD and get the waiting started

Tom,
Any chance for a production update on when the next batch of PDs will ship?

I would expect it approx. 6 weeks and 3 days after your conformation email. I too got anxious waiting. It's worth it.

i have not done this in a pd session, but when i had the VB whip i used to vape lavender from time to time. was a clean buzz. and i didn't have a 2nd whip. well one day it finally clogged shut. i did a reclaim on it via jsut scraping (i have never evaporated using iso or anything before)

but i got a really nice wad of hash and it obviously picked up the lavender. really nice hash actually!

i think ill get a 2nd whip if i ever vap other herbs again.

Although my wife is a certified Caregiver, she is a bit leary of using my tools (shes not scared of passive inhalation.. just draws the line at potential direct!)
So.. Here's a tip about your whip---> When I get buzzed, it is easy to make mistakes. So I keep a colored tip on the one that is only for "the other green leaves". That one, my wife knows which safe to use.

clear = Vito is clear to use this whip to medicate!

I'm past 6weeks 3 days. But thanks for trying.

I am in the same boat as you not quite 6 weeks here (tomorrow is 6 weeks). I am hoping mine will ship with your batch and hoping it gets here before my iolite goes out completely.
But with the 420 contest being not too long ago, and Pammy being down for a bit +recovery I would expect a little longer of a delay.

But from reading and hearing over and over I am sure it will be well worth the wait.

Thanks for everyone's comforting word on how it will be worth the wait. I don't doubt that it will be worth it. Sorry if it sounded like I am complaining about the wait time. I was just trying to get some info from "Tom", if he had the chance. Not trying to rush him or anything. Just wanted to know where he was on this batch.

BuddahMonk, I said it a few pages back to you -- stop asking the same question. No, your PD will not arrive any faster than anyone elses has. You keep getting the same answer and yet you think that you may be an outlier. Give it up already.

Do you ask the chef where he is in his process while dining out at restaurants?

If you don't want to sound like you are complaining...stop complaining.

Thanks you were alot of help.

What kind of help were you looking for, Buddah?

btw, don't know if you know this, but there is an unwritten rule in PDland that states if you inquire when you are going to get your unit more than three times, your order is immediately cancelled and you are refunded the full amount within 3 working days. How many times has it been?

Some Black Walnut customers (that ship during this week) may get a surprise (some may not). A while back, in Oregon, we had some fancy walnut slabs sent to us from Washington State, some of you may have seen pics and expressed interest... This stuff needed further curing and then Kiln Dried, and was well ready by now... but there wasn't much yield. Nice stuff, figured wood and a couple of deep red burl pieces .

Anyway our supply line broke down, our lumber man has been waiting (a while) on a Black Walnut shipment, that is "in transit"... This holds up the wood turner, who holds up the laser man, who holds me up . . . (our lumber man is also waiting on some 12/4 Fiddleback Maple for us... can't wait to see what it's like and test it out. )

So, out comes the Washington Walnut, sharpen up the tools and get out the lathe at P-D Land. Enough Walnut to fill needed orders and not get off track (one wood species not faster than another).

Yesterday afternoon, I located some 12/4 KD Black Walnut here in Phoenix and a long drive in Bbbig city traffic... Our typical, furniture grade stuff. The man should have offered me a cigarette afterward... (same for the Doctor visit last week)

So for a bit all the Black Walnut units are being turned in house... Fun, but time consuming.

Stopping for production runs of items like screens, or drilling vapor tubes, or heat exchanger tubes etc. are part of the picture here... when I need them, I need them. Nobody else is gonna do it... lengthy set-up on some items (like these and others), means you don't just run a few, so it's always a juggling act to put finished packages out the door.

The end goal is to make the best product I can, however long it takes. Thanks for the kind words folks. We try to stay as close to our predictions as possible, but, rushing things out the door , to keep to a prediction made 6 weeks (plus a few days) ago, ain't gonna happen.

A working weekend was the usual, and my mornings start in the shop about 5AM recently (starts getting light about 4:30AM and that's the end of sleep for me ) .

BuddahMonk, this will not become a "when is my vape coming" thread . I won't answer order questions specific to one person ( since I have no clue who you are... and except, in cases like your's, since this seems to be deteriorating). Order specific questions will only only be handled by e-mail. If you wish to inquire about a specific order, or step out of line (and receive a refund), you are welcome to. That's your choice and has been all along, but can only be handled by e-mail.

^^^ Funny Lwein, that's not our policy.

That was the update I was looking for from Tom. Thanks

On my defense. I don't think I ever ask specifically about my order.

Holding out on us Tom!

I was about ready to buy a PD today, but then I came across a thread about thc/cbd extraction. I'm a medical user and I mainly medicate to help me sleep. I actually stopped vaping because I found that I couldn't attain that sleepy effect.

I really like the PD because I am obsessive when it comes to health and I've come to trust that the PD uses materials that are completely safe. But I also want to make sure that I'll be able to use the unit to achieve the desired effect. I would probably exclusively vape indicas. Thanks for any input and sorry if this has been asked before.

I got the email! Yay! I feel like a kid on christmas eve. My walnut beauty is shipping today!

Hi everyone! We just added our newest vaporizer review. Of course it's the PD! I hope everyone llkes it, or at least is a little more informed after reading it. We loved the PD, but we did break it down in a non-biased way. PLEASE let us know if we have any facts wrong, or need to change it up in any way.

Thanks!

^^ I don't believe that the Pandora is still being offered.

Nice review Tstat and x2 about the Pandora being discontinued. I think its worth noting that the range of 'stem-loads' is approximately .025 to .075...just saying that it's "around .025" may be a little misleading considering that seems to be the bottom end of the spectrum. I also think its worth mentioning the approximate operating temperature of the PD (I think the PD website says between 365 and 395 F). Finally, it may be worth offering explicitly that the PD is a 'fixed-temp unit.'

I can't imagine fitting .075 into a normal stem. I think the "around .025" is an accurate assessment, but YMMV.

To be honest I can barely imagine what either .025 or .075 looks like on its own so I'm never very sure how much I load in a stem (I also use different size 'bowls' with the PD). In any case, I'm appealing mostly to the reports that the user(/mod) 'max' reported early on in the PD history. Even his average ranges seem to vary a bit but he based his reports on a nice scale it seems. .075 does seem like quite a bit in a PD stem but I have little doubt a user could achieve this.

Either way it seems a little ridiculous (of me ) to nitpick on this issue. That said, it does seem that the PD is consistently advertised (by users, not Tom/Pammy) as holding a specific amount (not talking about anyone in particular and not Tstat). While a specific 'load amount' obviously doesn't capture the nature of the vape, I know a lot of people that have tried my PDs (w/o previous experience) quickly start asking about how much herb is used. Maybe I'll just say "smaller than you're used to" next time.

That be me? Wait. It can't be. I don't advertise unless I get paid for it.
