Greetings FC friends and family!
This thread is being started to generate interest, discussion, and funding for the PHASES3 PURITAN.
The PURITAN is my take on a thermodynamically optimized dry herb vaporizer in the ever popular 8MM format.
Note: Rendering shows BLUE for visual illustration purposes only, the actual color of the PURITAN is BLACK (like the ZX)
It's just difficult to see the details in black on the computer.
WHY the PURITAN?
This design all started with my desire over the last few years to build an advanced ceramic cooling stem for Dyna's.
Just like the PHASE3 ZX, the goal is essentially the same, achieve the durability of metal, with the clean, crisp flavor of glass.
But every time I would finish working on a design, I couldn't help but feel there was a bit of a disconnect between designing a ceramic stem to maximize flavor, that would ultimately still be paired with a metal oven. I knew it would improve the experience, but I could do better.
To truly increase the purity of the extraction, I would have to make the entire device from ceramic.
Note: the original design used a machined ceramic screen, but to incorporate that would make this part much more complex and expensive to manufacture, thus for now, the ceramic screen has been changed to use a common mesh screen. This is the only metal part in the actual vape. The benefit of using the mesh screen is it still allows for adjustability between two different screen depths to match your vaping style. The low dose ledge is at 7MM, and the full dose at 14MM. The internal diameter of the oven is 8MM.
Zirconia ceramic has earned the nickname "ceramic steel" by proving itself as the most durable and least brittle of any advanced ceramic. This premium material is medical grade and biocompatible for a safe and clean extraction that you can feel comfortable about using for years to come.
The PURITAN is a single piece of zirconia ceramic, precision CNC machined into my unique unibody design.
The real goal of this concept is to hit a sweet spot between affordability, durability, ease of use, familiarity, and of course, purity. I wanted to design a great vaporizer that you don't need to be a serious enthusiast to enjoy. But something good enough that you might become a serious enthusiast afterwards!
So what do I mean when I say the Purtian has been thermodynamically optimized?
There's a few main components which help achieve this goal.
Let's discuss HEATING first.
First, by building the vaporizer out of zirconia ceramic, an insulative material with only 20% the thermal conductivity of titanium or stainless steel, you transfer FAR less heat into the stem when using the device. This improves heatup times by putting the heat into the oven and not into the body. Better performance, and no burnt fingers.
You'll notice the oven does NOT feature a plurality of spirals, grooves, mazes, or pathways. Just a couple grooves for aesthetics.
While other devices claim to heat incoming air through those methods, we've opted to entirely bypass pushing any ambient air through the oven which causes the system to prematurely cool. Instead, we've saught to truly optimize conduction heat transfer by increasing the contact area between the oven and the temperature indicating cap. By leaving more material on the oven, we also increase the mass to further assist in temperature stability. And yes, the PURITAN works with your favorite Dynavap Cap for temperature indication. We feel Dynavap has pioneered this temperature indicating click in this industry, and rather than take that away from them we want to show our appreciation for innovation and join in on that established ecosystem.
Now onto COOLING!
The PURITAN takes a radically different approach from others in this sector by opting for convection cooling, similar to what has bene employed in conduction concentrate devices such as the M22 and Evolv Cricket.
I've been experimenting with convection cooling since I posted my original QU4D CORE Dyna cooling stem concept, right here on FC.
Convection cooling uses forced air to significantly increase the heat transfer coefficient by generating a NATURAL VORTEX; WITHOUT storing/retaining a bunch of heat inside the vaporizer as traditional cooling units do.
This keeps the vape more cool to the touch, with no additional parts to clean, less active ingredients lost to cooling units, no instruction manuals, and no airflow adjustments. Like a joint, you just inhale. To clean, you just drop it in alcohol.
Refine, refine, refine.
Minimize, minimize, minimize.
Simplify, simplify, simplify.
That's always the goal here at PHASE3.
Don't worry, we still pushed the boundary (literally) by also incorporating turbulent generating ribs inside the body to further disturb the boundary layer of the airstream and promote additional cooling; for an extra comfortable experience with no additional parts to clean. More PHASE3 technology we've recycled from previous prototypes (this one actually comes from a desktop concept)

Thank you kindly for the opportunity to be here and share these concepts with the community.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of any assistance.
I sincerely appreciate your interest in my products and look forward to creating more innovative devices and accessories for your enjoyment.
Kindest regards,
