Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

I know...
My daughter's going to be taking a course in "rape prevention" to learn survival skills, and I would like her to take karate lessons as well - although she said she "doesn't like karate."
it is a different world today. in the case of last night these were just 11 year old kids experimenting with forbidden sentences - we were the same age once and we all said the same things to each other.
beyond that we do live in a world where it seems like the gates of hell have opened and every psycho miscreant is now walking the streets, i know...

 

[HazyDayz]

you can only hope to teach good survival skills and mindsets.

lol, maybe make the next survival skill be "don't hide in dryers"!


Anyway, looking forward to starting my Pandora, will post how I get on building it.

Then have her try a different martial art. My daughter is 9 and she has been in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu for almost 2 years now. I started her off in Karate, and she was the same way - didn't like it. I put her in BJJ because its more practical for a girl (IMO).

Chances are (if) she is ever assaulted or put in a position where she has to defend herself, it wont be on the playground. It will be in the backseat of some meatheads car. Words would not be able to express the proud of hearing that some jackass got his arm broken or choked unconscious because he tried to hurt her.

If she doesnt like a standing and kicking/punching art seriously consider finding a grappling art for her to try. My daughter loves it.

Hey, do we have any user reports of CD's glass PD stems?

I have two on the way also, but I think CD ran out of screens, so I may have to just admire mine for a while. OTOH, I may go screen shopping.

Smoke detectors- there are different designs, but several types detect particles, so vapor could set 'em off. Not likely though, since vapor doesn't linger as long as smoke, and tends to sink quicker too. You'd have to be exhaling big clouds at the ceiling I'd think.

All the stems shipped have screen on them , but the last batch dont have EXTRA screen pack , so you will be able to use them . I will ship the screen pack when I'll get them dont worry

back in Buffalo we had this huge railroad apartment above a store; the kitchen was massive and had two refrigerators, one was empty.
this crazy guy john used to hang out in the apartment and once i heard someone racing up the stairs - i knew it was my friend wayne, who is neurotic.
i said, "quick john, get in the refrigerator."
he did, and the door was closed almost fully.
a bunch of us were sitting in the kitchen playing Chinese checkers and wayne - "wayno" - started in with his impersonations, nervously working the room like an aspiring stand up comic.
after about 15 minutes with perfect timing, as wayno paused and faced the refrigerators, john simply crashed face down out of the refrigerator.
Wayno was frozen, like electrified with terror. It was an incredible moment.

 

[HazyDayz]

WTF! Clever guy!

One martial art you could consider is Wing Chun. A Chinese martial art actually developed for women. Very effective.

Anyway...

 

[jeffp]

Thanks for those two tips regarding alternative martial arts - I want to do a little research and check local availabilities....

 

[HazyDayz]

No probs. I done Karate (Wado Ryu based) for 12 years and have recently started training Wing Chun. Any Martial Art is great for fitness, discipline and self defence but think the most effective for a female would be something like Jiu-Jitsu or Wing Chun as they both concentrate on using technique, leverage etc which can give a smaller weaker person an advantage. Either that or get her a PD so she can use that to smash them over the head with.

 

[IAmKrazy2]

Sorry, but how does any of this relate to the PD Experience?

I like many, constantly check certain threads. This is one of my favorites. It is something that annoys me when it gets so off topic, although i am sure i sometimes do the same. But an entire page on parenting opinions is pretty bad, especially when specific posts mention nothing at all about PD's.

Back on topic, kindof. Anyone try using an extra long extension cord with their PD? I am wondering if you may loose some power along the way, making for less milky hits. I have a bonfire pit in the backyard, and running an extension cord when i have company is intriguing. This would probably be about 80 feet. opinions anyone?

 

[HazyDayz]

I doubt using a PD (or any other electrical device) through an extension lead would make any difference. Surely the lead wouldn't be sold in that length if it didn't supply reliable output...

 

[Purple-Days]

DC current suffers far worse than AC transmission, over distance. AC extension cord size is a factor also in power transmission. ^^^ just thinking the same thing the lightest weight 50 foot cord, even two linked would be fine, except when using a heavy draw appliance like a table saw...

 

[Ash]

Krazy, thanks for pulling this back on topic. Great question. When in use, my PD is on the end of probably 15 ft of cord (two cords). I was thinking that I should upgrade this with a single, thicker cord. I I don't think the power loss is significant, but someimes the connection between the cords gets loose and I end up with a weak buzz and a cool PD. AARGH.

80 ft is a long way, but I'd think you'd be OK as long as you didn't have much else plugged in to the cord. If I was using the PD with a group I'd probably put a koozie on it to compensate for heat loss from so many tokes taken in succession. The koozie would also compensate for any drop in voltage (or is it amps?) from being on the end of the cord and it would protect the unit in the event someone dropped it on a rock. Of course I'm speaking only of the cosmetics. You'd actually have to drop it in the fire to impact performance.

Wow, that doesn't sound too safe, i'd change to a single lead if I was you. Im pretty sure you wouldn't have any problems over distance if using a lead connected properly, specially as its a low voltage appliance.

Agreed, and I'm certainly responsible for this brief off topic diversion but i think the motivation was just to get a positive discussion going or a humorous discussion in light of the sad loss of the PD's.

So CD is making these beautiful glass PD tubes, which raises a question.

Do you think that glass would incur more or less condensation than what happens with the stock poly tubes?

 

[DevoTheStrange]

I vote less condensation than the stock tubes. The stock tubes have machine marks on the inside, not exactly perfectly smooth (but probably as smooth as you can get with the equipment). You can tell how rough the insides are if you run a Q-tip inside them, you can feel the sides grab the cotton.
Can't wait to get my glass stem... more than likely will get it in the mail next few days, was shipped last week. I am just hoping it is easy to clean, I got one of the glass ones with multiple bends in it.

The difference is probably minimal, I'd actually like it to condense a bit faster . That condensed vapor makes for some delicious hash capsules, I used to get so much from my herbalaire but I was using so much more herb in the process. I'd like a nice glass stem, but I love Tom's polypropylene stems, I find myself dropping them all the time and feeling so grateful each time they're not glass. Now that bubbler CD is making is awfully tempting!

 

[Purple-Days]

The 'coarseness' of the ID of the poly tube is a thing we have been working on.

I bored 280 tubes today, on a very true drill press, using a 2 axis vise and a Cherry-wood jig and Maple clamp. About two years of tube advancement. But A short employment in a plastics plant taught me a few things. Ie. doing all I know to do... Even using a special bit, then a round rasp, a four horse vac, hot soapy water and rinse, vacuumed again they are not 'perfect'. And the mouthpiece shape is good, and smooth to 600 grit, but never 'perfect'.

I have been considering injection molded #5 PP tubes. Perfect? Hmmm, a few thousand bucks to see the first ones and find out... and likely still have molding lines to remove.The methods for removing molding 'sprue' might involve a mechanical means (see above) a chemical means (yuk!) or even flames (yuk!). Not so likely I will pursue injection molding due to our remote location and in-ability to closely scrutinize the development or mfg...

So for now I use the best methods and materials and do the best I can.

I get so much pocket lint in them... durability leads to tossing them in a pocket. I will enjoy a chance to try CDs glass, but it will be a ceremonial session, not a grab and go like the poly stems can afford. I've knocked a couple off the truck's bench seats onto concrete. Oops...

BTW gonna get CD some more tips and screen packs soon...

Oh, and back to glass vs. plastic for condensation, not that it is a deciding factor, they each have their place... I think glass feels 'cooler' against the skin than the poly, and I expect any condensate to be more visible in glass. I think CD has choosen a longer air path, again different reasons and valid choices. Woot, CD and Revolverre Glassworks!

Looks delicious How many of those do you need to take to get a buzz? And how's the effect?

Just one will give you a pretty strong buzz for a long time, 6 plus hours. Take two or three and your in for a nice ride. The high is not much different than any other edible, intense yet subtle at the same time. Now that I only use My PD it takes me about two months to build up that much condensed vapor. I save up my leaves and stems to make a bit of extra honey oil to throw in too. A new thing I have been doing is taking my ABV/duff, and making a bit of iso oil with it, then cook it with coconut oil and cap it. Not as strong as my normal capsules, as a lot of the good stuff was vaped off, but they are full of those canabinoids that boil off at a higher temps, so they are great for my chronic onset insomnia and they seem to have strong anti-depressant like qualities, there was a week or two where i was taking 4 or 5 a day, and I didn't smoke or have any desire to smoke a cigarette for 5 days.

this deserves its own thread

 

[t00fatt]

I had made a thread about this a couple years back over at the cannabis.com vape forums, no one could understand why I would even bother go through the hassle of saving my condensed vapor. I was so turned off by their blatant ignorance, I haven't really felt the need to share again. What I do is quite simple really, I just follow the canacapules recipe over at cannabis.com, which is hands down the most efficient way to cook with herb or hash. I take 3 grams of shake, make honey oil from it, then I can yield about 15+/- very potent capsules. I much prefer cooking with hash oils instead of raw buds, it allows for smaller more dense hits. Here is a shot of how I used to collect my condensed vapor with my herbalaire, still the same now just replace the herbalaire piece with a PD stem.
