    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    Reece, I didn't mention Zap owners, AT ALL. So you are putting words in my mouth. ;) Second, I did not refer to you (because I have no issues with you), but used your post as an example of what the thread was and wasn't about (IMO). Third, quotes taken from posts earlier in a thread...

    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    No Vapo, but there is a group who do. Like I say Myrtlewood is beautiful. I first used it in 2005 to rebuild the splitting Douglas Fir Aromazap. While doing prototype PDs I used a good bit of Myrtlewood, it came from right up the road where I used to aquire the Myrtlewood for Rick. That fellow...

    PDs are delivered through Amazon's distribution system, but purchase is made through Vapenow.com.

    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    This is a comparison test of the two, by one fellow, who owns both and has access to the same transformers and uses the same draw techniques, same materials, and using the same electric grid. Not two different opinions from possibly different situations. Comments like, "Or, maybe we're having...

    DC is Direct Current. Think battery... positive and negative. The juice flows one direction only. Alternating Current is alternating... in your case switching directions 50 times a second (50 Hz) and in North America 60 Hz. (can't believe I said per minute above, but you know stoners...) On our...

    Yes, tried it. It's plentiful here. Beautiful stuff. :cool:

    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    Yes, there is always a game of trade-offs, no wood is perfect. :2c: Black Walnut can have a bit of a strong odor at the start. It would be awkward to explain this in a product for general consumption and if unexplained could be unexpected. Other than that, on the consumer side, it is very nice...

    Just back from the Eye Doc. This one may be even better than the last (reading the chart). Been back in the shop the last couple of days doing non-dusty stuff, metal and plastic. Had a group of PDs ready before the op. but needed tubes to go with, so... Hoping to wrap the shipment up and get it...

    "the pd seems to run hotter in the car" There are two reasons. A) A battery in good condition and fully charged should put out 12.8 Volts. An alternator with a car engine running can be putting out over 13.5+ volts. As the wall wart is providing 12 V (unregulated AC). I am not as recently...

    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    Some of the walnut I had to work with was thinner and in those cases I kept the diameter as wide as possible, which was still under size by a good bit, this leads to a bit warmer exterior (radiating more heat) and therefor a lower vapor temperature, but the walnut is a good insulator and the...

    PD vs. MZ a Krazy Function Comparison.

    Two major factors contributing to the difference in delivered temperature. Wood density and Heat Exchanger Geometry (and materials). I have experimented with a wide variety of woods (including Myrtlewood, Ebony, Pink Ivory, several Rosewoods, Bocote, Tea Tree, Ash, Walnut, Maple, Western Maple...

    Polarity is interchangeable. Center positive or negative... doesn't matter. AC or DC, both work as long as it's 12 Volts. AC just switches back and forth (50 times a minute or 60 times a minute, 50 or 60Hz), the DC flows one way only.

    Yes, the wall wart itself has little to fail, it's nearly always a cord or plug. And the plug can be replaced. Test the wall wart by plugging it into a working wall socket and check back in 30 minutes, the wall wart will be slightly warm to the touch (even without an appliance in use) and this...

    The numbers are right. The results are wrong. Transformers are pretty simple devices. Induction if anyone cares to look it up. Using North American Voltage as an example... 120 Volts at the wall outlet. Needing 12 Volts at the plug, the winding ratio is 10:1. 10 wraps on one side 1 wrap on the...

    Hmm, I guess they use both (wasn't sure at all). Must depend on where the delivery is and who gives them the best rate. So, UPS or Fed-Ex(???).

    Purple-Days sends all PD kits to Amazon for Vapenow. To the best of my knowledge Amazon uses Fed-Ex Ground shipping and the Amazon depot is in Indiana. I say that, because the folks in the availability thread seem to be saying Fed-Ex, and all the stuff we have ever received from Amazon has come...
