It's a great day!
Easy to see where Tom's comment on the walnut being a new selection is confusing people. He's talking about a walnut Billy Bowl. Walnut PDs were rejected as being a little too smelly I believe. Since the time when other woods were being considered, I think they settled on 'Cherry only' to simplify things and make sure that different wood choices didn't make for production delays.I'm thrilled you guys have decided to offer another choice of woods, but I don't know if I can hold off any longer. Tom, when do you think we might see the first walnut units available for ordering? Maybe I'll have to put in a cherry order in the meantime, as the anticipation of trying a PD is killing me. But then what do you expect after reading 100 pages of glowing reviews?
Ahh, you're right. Good reading comprehension there. :/Easy to see where Tom's comment on the walnut being a new selection is confusing people. He's talking about a walnut Billy Bowl.

Yes, the fit of the tube is supposed to be that loose to facilitate mating.jklasd said:finally came.
holding the pd unside down with the tube in it, tube slides out. i know the fit is suppose to be loose, but that loose?
question: whats that little brown sealed bag with what looks to be rocks in it? i assume its a smeller thing?
even though i read half of this hige ass thread, i cant remember shit haha my bad about the easily answered questions.
nah, i think we are thinking of something different, it was a brown bag, sealed, kinda like the package it self with a bee on it. but thank you for the tubing answerlwien said:Yes, the fit of the tube is supposed to be that loose to facilitate mating.jklasd said:finally came.

The little bag is used to blow out the duff from the stem. It's pretty ingenious, actually. Before I used it, I tried blowing it out into a shot glass . BAD idea.....lol.

Just gotta keep at it and use the method that works best for you.jklasd said:been trying it, having a bit of trouble with hits, but im new so.
yea im trying a couple different draws so fast, same result.lwien said:Just gotta keep at it and use the method that works best for you.jklasd said:been trying it, having a bit of trouble with hits, but im new so.
For me, I hit it like I would hit a joint, but much slower.
I know we all like to play dress up once in a while. I'm not really named 'duh' and you aren't named after a sci-fi novel (google+wikipedia). In this culture, I'm not sure a fan is a good thing anymore - we are all participating now - engaging w/the ppl who are involved directly.The_Algebraist said:That's what liking something/being a fan is all about!
thats what i thought, and it was definately chared... one was a chunk and was all white, when i touched it it was powdered ash, the second piece was a little mor leafy but same thing. if the pd only gets up to the set temp, i dont see how there should be any ash at all coming out of the thing no matter if the plant material sat in there for a month or a day. but my pd has been getting plugged in only on the weekends, so even if the material has been in the unit for a while, the time it was plugged in for was only a couple of days.max said:You can burn food on the stove even at the low heat setting if it sits there long enough, but I doubt any plant material would actually ignite in the vape, even sitting down there on the resistor.Frickr said:will the resistor inside ever get hot enough to cumbust? i spanked my pd today, and i found 2 rather large flakes that were completely white and gray.... not sure how long they have been in there, but i dont think that long, and i thought the resistor only got to the set temp and leveled off?
True. But I'm always game for the latest and greatest. I've owned a number of vapes and for me the PD and the SSV turned out to be a perfect set, for me. For others it'll be different. I don't get the vibe that there are many folks here who have their arms around their vapes. Seems like most people here support the good stuff and stand by it while remaining open extremely open to new pieces and discussing them critically.duh said:It's hard to do that objectively w/your arm around your vape.
Frickr, I don't think there is anything wrong with your PD, IMO. I tend to always turn my PD over and tap it a few times before I use it each day. I've had a few small dark brown flakes come out, but other times nothing. Never seen anything that looks like ash.Frickr said:i dont think anything is wrong with my unit, and i have had it for a few months now, but this is the first that something like this has happened. i guess i shouldnt say the first, i have had it happen before just not as much was chared, maybe just a corner of a piece had turned white, and always played it off as im just stoned and my eyes are messing with me.
anyone else have this problem or shoudlnt i be worried about some burnt plant material and just tap everything out more often?
