Hey there,
This is my first time posting on here, but reading this specific forum along with the recommendation of a friend who did a lot of research on vapes are the reasons that I purchased a PD, and I finally wanted to create an account to chime in on the discussion.
I ordered the PD on March 1st, which made me one of the last orders that were taken before the waiting list shut down for a bit. I knew that it was going to take a while to get the delivery, but I was happy about this because I also knew that it meant that business was good for Tom and Pam, and I knew that I was investing my time and money into a product that was going to be worth the wait.
My PD came the second week in August, and around 3 months later, I can honestly say that it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
The first thing I noticed, and still admire regularly is just how nice the actual product is. Knowing that each one is hand made, and having seen the videos of the process, I really appreciate the Purple Days for the actual craftsmanship that went into it. The size is perfect, and will definitely keep my hands warm this winter.
I have never been concerned with the warm up period. I leave my PD plugged in just about all the time. I find myself taking advantage of the aromatherapy cup when I'm not using it. It keeps my place smelling really great, which is a nice little benefit that comes with the PD. Not only does it keep the smell to a real minimum when you're using it, but it'll make your room smell even better with a few drops of oils.
I'd say it definitely conserves, and my packed stems give me anywhere from 5 nice hits, to the occasional miraculous stem that brings like 15-20 hits somehow. Anyone else get the occasional miracle pack?
After a handful of uses, I find that I have to turn it upside down and shake it, lightly tapping on the bottom. I really hope that this doesn't do too much damage, but a lot of loose herb falls in, and eventually gives off a burning scent and taste, and needs to be cleaned out. Still, not really a big deal.
It comes in a good box for traveling, and the bags it comes with are helpful as well. A quick question - what is the best way to apply and rub off the buzz butter for the nicest result?
I find, and I'm sure all PD owners find their own little ways to get the best use... their own stem spinning methods while using it, and their own stem packing methods. It doesn't take long before you find your favorite ways to pack it and hit it.
Really, it's a beautiful thing. I'd suggest it to anyone in the market for a personal vaporizer. It's not one that I would use for a party of people... it's for an individual user. I'd even say that if you're with one other person, do individual stems instead of passing back and forth.
Tom and Pam have really created a fantastic product. To them, I say thank you, and of course, to those who have posted your reviews on here, I say thank you as well.
Oh, and Tom, I'll be sending a postcard for this contest next week. I think you and Pam will think it's pretty cool!
