^ about ricks quote...
would constantly changing the temps possibly make the wood warp or--*gasp*--shorten the life of the internal heater?
Just wondering whats good, that's all.

Nice looking MZ! Mine is a little darker, which I like - but man that one looks nice too!

I recently made the mistake of going to the 'other' thread. I saw pictures of used Myrtlezap parts compared to new other parts. Our name was also brought up several times. So I posted a response and a challenge and another post that was deleted by the mods. I do thank the mods for also removing a comment that prompted my second post.
The challenge is to end the debate. To that end I will offer a Myrtlezap kit(no return) to the FC crew for comparison of the FUNCTION of the two units by an unbiased third party. How well do they make vapor and for how long? Thick vapor or light vapor? After all, we are continuously being put down as "20th century, old, simple, different, etc" over there by the author of the thread and others. Why not compare HOW WELL THEY WORK? I have everything to lose by this challenge as our technology is old and our geometry is, well, I am not sure. I do know we do not have fins and turbo boost like the 21st century design. But if the 'new' technology is better, it should be obvious in a side by side comparison. It should kick ass. Without a good third party comparison of the FUNCTION of the two units, all the rest, whether here or there is just words, pretty pictures and hot air.
Unless there are other ideas for a comparison?
On a lighter note, our led has never had a malfunction to my knowledge since we started 8 years ago. I have been getting that question repeatedly from several new customers lately. Not sure where that question comes from but they have always worked just fine. We will also do them without a led if one wants the front grain pattern only with no distractions.

I ordered my new MZ sans LED.Rick said:
Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision. It would be nice to know with just with a glance across the room that my girl is turned on.
I do like the wonderful quality of my wood though, and that there is nothing to distract from its beauty.
If I buy another MZ, which is likely, I'll probably get the LED.

I like the idea of the challenge but it needs to be unbiased and performed by someone with the specific equipment needed to perform those tests. The only person that I know of with those qualifications is Dr. Paul Hornby in British Columbia Canada.

I considered no led but I'm glad I did get one for exactly the reason you stated. I figure, if I'm in a situation where I need to be more stealthy I can just cover it with something like a small piece of electrical tape or that blue tape painters use.VapoFish said:I ordered my new MZ sans LED.Rick said:

I opted for No LED because I would prefer to keep the beautiful wood in tact. And it just seems that adding the LED, for me, is just not worth it. It's possible (although extremely unlikely) that it could fry or something, so why tempt fate for something that I didn't even want in the first place? Rick informed me of the LED-less version and I haven't looked back since.
Edited for PS -
I plan on leaving my unit on 24/7 (or with a timer), so needing to know if it is on or not is unnecessary.

It's OK to change your mind. We can put the nice blue led in yours if you wish at no charge. You just pick the spot and send it back. We will ship it back to you at no charge.
On the other hand, maybe you might be able to get another Myrtle with the led down the road somehow.
As far as who does the comparison, I picked the FC crew because of their work on this site and I also think something like this should stay local. If it can work better another way, I am open to ideas. One thing is for sure. I will not pay any $. I have offered a "complete kit" which is fair enough in my book.
Hows about some competition here? "I want to be the MZ/PD tester" thread. People could offer up why they think they would be unbiased and thorough. They could show examples of their photo work. Their reward would be one of each unit. And no bashing there.
Just another idea. Whatever comes up needs the blessing of the mods and two vapes.
Or, we could let it go. It will take two for sure.

24/7 is fine. We prefer that, especially the first several days. They draw 7 watts or so. All of the Zaps around here in Zapville stay on 24/7.
