Wow, I run out of shit to vape and things get wild in here......coincidence????........Probably, lol.
@Rick- Sad to see Mr. B go. Please thank him for us, as I'm sure we all appreciate his contributions. Congrats on the next chapter of the journey though. Two questions pop up immediately. 1) The "regular" size zap will still exist (like my N31 and J1)? I like the size of them and do not think I would want smaller. 2) Since you brought it up (approaching 70), the baton will be passed on I assume? Purely selfish pondering, as I like knowing zaps will always be a part of my life from here on out. -
I've seen multiple inquiries into the difference between the UD and the CRZ, so I wanted to throw my humble opinion in (without the shitstorm that has previously followed comparisons). I am reciting from memory, so if I fuck anything up, please feel free to correct.
I remember it being mentioned that the UD uses the same resistor as the CRZ. I do not understand how it (UD) could be "hotter"? My black locust with the 12v DC, is putting out ABV comparable to the HA I had. I'm talking fucking dark. (I will post pics when I can).
If the guts are very similiar (temp wise), the differences I see are as follows:
The CRZ uses a single piece of wood, whereas the UD uses glued pieces (at least on some models if not all).
The CRZ has 4 intake holes. The UD has at least 8 (maybe more?). This provides probably better airflow. Increased airflow has pros and cons.
The CRZ uses "stems", and the UD uses silicone with a screen. I'm pretty sure I can use a piece of silicone and a screen with the CRZ and negate any "hotter" results that are reported.
The CRZ is ceramic insulated. The UD uses an "air gap internal to the core" as insulation.
And of course, the price point.
Recited from memory, so I may be off. Dave from UD seems like a great guy, and competition is always good for both manufacture and the consumer. The UD is a great product (never tried, but definitely my 2nd choice), and there are room for both and many more in this market. I just see a lot of questions asking about differences in here and many other threads (including the purple one). This might be better placed in a neutral thread, but I'm not going to be that "asshole" without having both in front of me. It's just this forum is where everybody comes to for info, and evrybody seems to pussyfoot around the differences. I thought this might help those trying to decide. Please, no shitstorming for my observations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but start a thread if you want to go deeper than any mistakes I may have made in trying to point out factual differences.
Fuck, I need that kush more than I thought!!!!!!
