I just bought a Purple Days and feel like sharing my initial thoughts about it.
First of all I will be perfectly honest and say that I have been a bit unlucky with a few missing items etc. The reason for mentioning it, is first of all because I am convinced, that I am one of the unlucky few, as the overall level of service seems to be top professional.
It also gives me the chance to assure you that Pammy and Tom takes very good care of their customers and is focused on solving problems to an extent that is almost too much. With all the love and care being put into their product I figure that the profit is quite modest. No doubt that they are primarily doing this, because they want to share whats good. There is no doubt that you are in safe hands at Purple Days and I am perfectly sure that every customer ends up being a happy customer.
Now to the review:
Looks:
Due to the few unlucky hickups I have a functioning PD, but have not had the chance to see a finished product as it is supposed to look, but there is no doubt that it will end up being a very nice looking item - especially compared to the monstrosities like some of the other Vaporizers around. It is not bold avantgarde design, but it looks nice, natural and simple and will fit in anywhere. This is an item that I would have NO trouble having standing around in the open - hey.. It is just an aromatherapy kit, right?
Useability:
Well.. I can't hide that it takes some time to warm up. Close to an hour for being the optimum temperature. Being a habitual user on my eighteenth year I admit that the weed is my "reward" after a long hard day at work. It will take some time getting used to, but I knew what I was getting into and if I can't get used to it, I will solve it with a timer
Operating the product is extemely simple. I never used another vaporizer, but reading about poking and stirring to get the last harsh whiff from other devices makes me glad that I chose the PD. It is incredibly simple to use and I have never had any trouble with herbs falling out of the tube or anything during any of the 10-12 fills I tried so far.
Effectiveness:
Useabillity is not to be confused with mastering the art of vaping. That stood quickly quite clear to me. From being convinced that the item malfunctioning / not being hot enough etc, I now have no doubt that it DOES work. I am used to slamming bong-heads and have a quite high tolerance, but yesterday was the first day with me PURELY vaping - and yes.. It does the job just fine. It is moderate buzz, but it is also a very modest amount of herb being used. I can see that when you want to get REALLY "kick in the head" blasted away, the PD comes to short. But for an everyday buzz it is perfect, and I am sure that I will get better and better at the art of vaping.
Actually I tried an experiment today: I vaped four loads yesterday and saved the residue. Today I smoked the whole load in one bong-head to see how much buzz there was left. I got a tiny buzz, but nothing more. At least 4/5 of the THC got vaped away yesterday, and over time I will learn to squeeze everything from it by vaping.
Some people have talked about the tubes capacity to be as little as 0.025 gram per fill, but that is not my experience (that was also to good to be true). My experience is that I get around 15 fills per gram of good skunk, still making it quite an effective item with a capacity being around what? 0.07 gram per fill? I'm satisfied.
Closing Comments:
If you are impatient and can't plan 45 minutes ahead, or being a "weekend vaper" who wants to be stoned beyond imagination when vaping, this may not be the vaporizer for you.
If you are a habitual user who wants a steady, moderate and economic buzz, this is an item for you. This item can stand on the shelf, and being able to let go of the feeling that you have a "forbidden cupboard" with stuff that your visitors must not discover will be priceless. If you, like me, also have a non-using girlfriend being very tired of soot, candle vax, tin foil and stinking bongs everywhere, then this is a gift sent from heaven.
The Purple Days is ingenious in it's simplicity. There is no doubt that, when I recieve the few missing items and get it finished up, it will be a treasured belonging for years to come. I will not rule out that I sometime in the future would buy a second vaporizer for when I feel like a "kick in the ball-high", but I am glad that the Purple Days is my first one, and I am quite convinced, that no matter what, it will keep being my favorite one as well.
On top of that add all the care being put into the product and the exellent customer service and the Purple Days and the people behind, has my deepest respect and warmest recommendations.
). There were 3 in the pic with the groovy PD, and I know that Iamkrazy2 has 4 units listed in his sig. Lets see someone beat four! 
Not a good night
