Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

[leozdad]

If the PD becomes your primary vape, the wait time is completely irrelevant.

Sometimes it's a hit or a miss with this vape, but if you're the type of the user that gets addicted to the effecient measured doses, you will be happy you signed up.

I took the plunge and waited my turn and was totally not disappointed. I agree that the wait time was irrelevant. I just received my PD and i see what everyone means when they rave about this unit. I still can't believe the tiny amount of herb this thing uses to achieve great results. Simply unbelievable. And i thought my iolite used a small amount....... don't sweat it, take the plunge you will not regret it. I love my new little friend. BTW The diffuser cup works great too. When we aren't vaping, we put some oils on for a little aromatherapy

I just really don't want to have to wait 2 months to get it. Any chance I could be wrong? Would love to get my hands on a PD asap. Thanks for any help. -Genghis

You might as well just get on the list. Dont procrastinate or you'll be pissed that you waited when you finally do order.

Do NOT throw away that iso that is in that little purple bottle that you wash your PD stems in. OMG !!

It's been decades since I smoked any REALLY good hash, so I kinda forgot. Wow.

I clean my stems once a month, and I had about 4 months worth of dirty iso in that bottle. Poured it out into a plate (also iso washed a shot glass that I've been using to cut up my buds) and poured that onto the plate too. Waited about 2 days and then scraped. It was really gooey tar black hash that was super sticky and stuck to everything. Took a bit of it and layed it on top of some bud in my glass pipe and took two hits (forgot that with hash, it's a bit too easy to take a hit that's a bit too big...lol). OMG! It was almost like eating too much of an edible. Soaring, soaring high. Fucked me up for about 3 hours.

Super potent !!

What is the "average" number of hits you can get off one stem? They are so small one good hit would seem efficient, but it seems like people refer to more than one hit per loaded bowl and there is a Youtube video of a guy getting 5 good hits from one load. I seem to get 2 good/visable hits and 1 or 2 light or invisible but flavored hit per stem. Does that seem right, or could my technique be improved to get more?

 

[DevoTheStrange]

honestly it all depends on the stuff you put in it. I have had stuff that will get up too six hits, also had stuff your lucky too get two out of it... there are alot of factors that play into it. How you draw on the stem is one of them. The quality of what you put in it is another. the only way you could have a true average is if everyone was using the same herb and hit it the same. i average out 4-5 hits per stem these days, but thats only because ive been getting the same strain for past four weeks.

 

[lwien]

First hit....great.
Second hit.........great
Third hit..........a bit weaker
Dump out bowl. Crumble bud between fingers and suck it up in stem for a 4th hit.............good hit.
One more hit.............a bit weak...............done.

So, for me, 4 and half hits.

A lot of it has to do with how fine you grind your bud and how dry it is.

 

[DevoTheStrange]

my favorite hits are always the first two.. first one is nice and flavorful.. second is just vapor rich

 

[aznfknpride]

Yeah, I find myself dumping bowls after 2 rips.. make better cookies in the end

I'm the same.

The first hit is the tastiest by far, I find myself smacking my lips enjoying the taste.

The second hit though is FAR bigger then the first, perhaps it's due to the herb already being bone dry and warmed up.

Third hit is just to get the last bit out of the bowl.

 

[IAmKrazy2]

quality is a factor too, with real good herb you get more puffs

lwien, didnt you mention that you've been using green bud at some point? That's all I've used in the PD and depending how full I fill it. I average 3-5 hits. First 2 sometimes 3 are the best.

 

[jeffp]

sometimes the first hit is wanting, but subsequent hits are very therapeutic. a bit less in the tube seems to garner better overall results.

 

[masejl12]

I find that I can get about 5 hits on one bowl, the first 2 are the biggest but then I found if I let the PD sit for about 5 minutes I can get a decent hit on the 3rd and a little faint hits on the last two.

 

[aterphasma]

I find myself getting a good five or so hits out of it. I usually look down the stem and see how much vapor is swirling inside the tube. When it's inserted in the PD, the translucent stem lets enough light in to let you see the vapor against the black background of the inside of the PD. Even after seven or so hits I can usually see a tiny curled wisp of vapor inside the stem. But that's just my experience.

thats exactly what I do, keep looking down inside the tube. If it isn't black, it isn't done...

 

[leozdad]

I am getting 4-5 draws on a stem. 3 good ones and 2 light ones, i will try looking down the tube for vapor, i never gave that a thought, thanks

 

[Happycamper]

i'm getting about 3. My first is always a huge cloud, the second not as big, which makes me think my stuff is a bit too sticky and green and should dry some more.

 

[aterphasma]

Yeah, I do notice that I tend to get much more vapor if I chop/grind the herb first, then put it in a shot glass and let it sit on top of the PD. Then I go back and chop at it a bit more (I use a shot glass with scissors, thank you lwien!) and let it sit for some more time. It gets super dry and I get much better hits this way.

Don't forget to ISO that shot glass and scissors. Good stuff there.

Yeah, I read that last night in your other post. I don't think it's going to be any time soon that I get any good savings.

Edit: Wow! That iso soak really does completely clean out the tubes. Nice. \o/

Cool, that banging of the clip worked to stop it moving around inside

Hey Joe,
First question is: is the power supply faulty or the plug and cord (on the original). 98% that it's the plug or cord and the power supply is working fine. In that case you can replace the plug end.

Second, unregulated power supplies will vary in voltage. Higher voltage means higher temps. Nothing inside the PD can change the temperature (up or down). Nothing. Changing the power supply and getting a lower temp points straight at a lower voltage. The only probable cause. You take it from there...

A rattle can happen for a couple of reasons, and is easy to fix (usually) and very rarely any problem.

The main cause (after a drop) is the heavy mass of the heat exchanger bumps the retaining clip slightly out of place. This will let the heat exchanger move slightly. You can tap the clip back down in place with the flat blade of a screwdriver. Set the PD on a solid surface and give the perimeter of the clip a few taps.

I've been hitting my SSV recently with pretty small bowls yielding great results -- I wonder how the efficiency compares?

 

[owin]

With the DBV my gf and I would go through 7g in about 1-1.5 weeks. With the PD my gf and I go through 7g in a month.

 

[aterphasma]

Wow . . . I was smacking my PD last night to clean it and what I think was a drop of molten solder flew out and landed on my jeans. Tom, does that sound like it's possible? I mean, it still gets nice and hot--I'm using it right now--but should I be worried about anything, here?

 

[max]

Pretty sure it was just a bit of solder that attached itself to the wood during the build process and you jarred it loose. It happens occasionally. The solder ball was hot I'm sure, but not molten.
