Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

[Hennessy1414]

so once it is done it has a tendency to fall out? i have been using mine and tapping it lightly on the desk and seems a bit falls out and I hit it again and it seems to "freshen" it up sort of speak. could be all in my mind form being vaped too

I would e-mail you., but sadly your e-mail isn't active.

Can you follow toms directions and go away from this thread? It seems you are starting to get that nervous twitch and make small talk and attempt to chew the shit so everything seems "chill" between you and the PD. I could also tell that you were getting a lil jealous after you saw the pics tom posted of the a-zap/PD heaters. No need to hide it my friend...

now, I hope you enjoy that a-zap thread. good bye dadesign

there is nothing chill about me and I am not going anywhere. I am not trying to start anythin but you all seem to want to. trying to email me all your hate, like you did before..the very reason I turend it off was you

and I dont see it as jealousy at all. I just wonder if it is truely different is all. i am always open to new ideas

adn I am not getting nervous on nothing. itis not nervous small talk to make things better. I am open to new ideas and not locked into .. really there is no way to get jealous looking at the picture of the insides I never see (unless I took it aprt which I wont)
i have never been against the PD ever, just against all the tension between "us and them" i just dont subscribe to hype is all, I want proof

really I think it is dirty pool to show these as they are when it is clear , that a few didnt want direct comparisons but I digress.

i am just trying to learn is all. I browse through all the pd az threads to get tips and what ever. and I didn't start it at all for you see I don't give in to "thug life" as it seems

again I am not trying to start anything at all but when pissed off I don't sit back and take it either. I admit my outbursts were certainly not right and didn't help at all but that doesn't mean I should just "go away"

i admit that given these pictures, I have to say it is not all a bunch of marketing bull, seems he did improve on it. I would still like to know if it is different in subtle differences enough so to get one

 

[willywagtail]

yeah, i'm the same, i did have a small drink bottle with a narrow hole that i could just screw the lid back on, but i changed it over for a container and lid so the metal has no chance of touching

I'm just thinking heat, plastic and things that might be transfering from the ss metal bowl of the PD Stem.

I just lay mine on one of the tote bags, in a drawer.

I want proof

Exactly what kind of proof do you want. Obviously the PD has a more complex heat exchanger design. I can only assume that you want a preponderance of opinion from people who own both, as to exactly how much difference there is between the two in various categories. How many opinions will meet your needs? There have already been posts by people who own both. Since you're interested in these comments, I would have thought you'd read them. How many people do you expect to buy both vapes and voice their opinions on them on the forum? I'm not sure your requirements for proof are realistic.

Forgetting about the Myrtlezap, it's design is irrelevant and comparing the PD to it will only end badly, as it has.

I wouldn't say irrelevant. They're both based on the Eterra, but since that one isn't a real presence in the market, people want to know the difference between the MZ and the PD. As far as discussions of comparisons ending badly in the future, if they do one or more people won't be happy with the consequences. Valid comparisons will be welcome but the key word is valid. If someone says the MZ must be better because it has six holes in the top of the exchanger instead of two, that explanation won't stand if they don't know what the holes are for, and whether they play a part in the performance.

----------------------------

The two posts previous to this one have been deleted due to inappropriate personal comments. This type of discourse is not up to the standards of the forum and we can't allow it. We've tried to avoid being too strict with the rules, but that approach doesn't seem to be working very well in all cases. Deleting posts is not a long term solution either. I urge all members to use the preview button and make sure posts are respectful (or at least not personal) before clicking the submit button.

What I meant is the MZ's design is irrelevant when just looking at the fact the added surface area and mass are extremely beneficial. I was just trying to emphasize that I was talking about Tom's decision to make his PD heat exchanger the way he did versus something more similar to the Eterra's, and not comparing the PD and MZ.

yeah it would be great on someone having both but I am just curious is all. i just want to know if one does better then the other in certain aspects is all(thicker vapor, better taste, hot longer,)....this is probably just splitting hairs again and really I am not interested enough to put down the money for a new similar one just to find out. really I think it is just curiosity is all..i will just drop it. not worth hearing more about it from me..I know I ramble to much as it is. i think what I was trying to get across is I like to see proof of things and not take everything I read at face value..even though i have before.

i had to go back and read my own words as well as others. I i think i have been seen as an instigator when in fact I believe that I have tried to remain neutral in most instances. but everyone sees differently on it.

how about I just don't comment on things like this anymore. it is obvious I am passionate about defending myself..and not on a certain vape...I support both of them contrary to what seems to be perceived

really good advice on the preview. I hit the submit key far to fast. I should not type while upset as I regret it later

I just don't think it's irrelevant because the MZ has a design closer to the Eterra, and both, if you like, are the "versus" you mention. The PD's fin design is very different. It reminds me of the Supreme Vaporizer's element, almost 30 square inches of surface area in not much more than an inch square housing. And the PD's spring loaded exchanger with the crossbar, is an ingenious design. But if anyone's gonna compare, it should be a worthy comment or opinion.

 

[t00fatt]

No I meant it was irrelevant to my specific post, about a question directed at the fins in the PD heat exchanger, which the MZ doesn't have making it irrelevant to my specific post. That's all that I meant, not that they are not similar in design, or comparing the two are irrelevant. The MZ is irrelevant when discussing the effectiveness of the fins in the PD heat exchanger, bringing the MZ up would only stir a commotion so I just wanted to discus it as if the MZ doesn't even exist.

 

[sneezyjesus]

Forgetting about the Myrtlezap, it's design is irrelevant and comparing the PD to it will only end badly, as it has. We can only look at Tom's decision to add more surface area to his heat exchanger. Only with the myrtlezap out of mind can we ask questions.

This hit's the nail on the head.
It seems to me that there should only be content relating to the PD in the PD thread. Comparisons aren't helpful unless specifically requested for technical or explanatory reasons. Comparative pictures are informative, but reduce the integrity of the PD by giving the possible interpretation of "I'm better, buy me". A "Buy me cause I'm good!" picture with just PD related content could provide just as much information.

Okay, I got pix of my new PD! Sure is pretty... So pleased to have it!!! I think the wood grain looks much nicer in person though

Trying again! Damn I'm challenged at the photo thing...

On a separate note, amazing PD! I looooove the grain Whatever Tom does in boring the wood is done right, I have yet to see a PD grain that I haven't liked!

 

[annaK]

anyone else start the day with 4-5 stems?

 

[catlady]

my baby took a fall last night... she's alright though! here she is....

i take her outside sometimes too...

 

[Lo]

Nice PD pix there! I love seeing all the different grain patterns too! Really nice!

 

[Purple-Days]

The pictures never mention you Rick. It's a comparison of an old design and a new design.

I have had these shots for a long, long while, as you can imagine, but kept them to myself.

Sneezy, I tried to take the high road, and have always thought a product should stand on it's own merits. But the continued claims that the two vapes were 'the same' just had to stop sometime. And as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

I get your point, but my point was that it's the job of management to decide what's out of bounds as far as posting comparisons of vapes. Using your method of avoidance, we'd have to deny comparisions between say, the VaporCannon and the Vapor Brothers if people decided there was too much friction on the forum about the comparison. As I've said, the fact that 'self-policing', or relying on everyone to be respectful and stay within the rules, hasn't worked out, doesn't mean that we're going to allow members to decide what can and can't be posted in threads. The tail is not going to wag the dog here. Respectful and useful comparison should and will be allowed, although at some point everything about the design differences will be said and done. But we're not going to allow comparisons or opinions (from those who have actually used both units) to get out of control any longer. The forum is now too big to get by with just a 'be nice' rule. The days when that was sufficient are gone.

I'll agree without hesitation that they aren't the same in design, if similar in execution. The complexity in all the debate here is that there are points to be had across the board.
Definitely no jab or anything offensive intended

But more on topic, how's the laser logo-etching concept coming along?

 

[leozdad]

Finally got a pic of my little friend




Man do we love her, she hasn't told us her name yet but i'm sure she will soon.

oh i like that pattern a lot

 

[DeepFried]

How about creating a no holds barred PD vs MZ thread. Anyone posting there will be open to attack, low blows, nasty product shots etc. That will keep the regular threads clean for those who do not wish to read that stuff and make it easier on the mods as there will be less monitoring needed.

Could be interesting.

We both had points. We're clear on them. I never intended to suggest you were trying to offend. Too much in the other direction, if anything, and I just wanted to make it clear we'd prefer to avoid special rules for a particular thread or two. We'll just have to run a tighter ship, unfortunately.

But more on topic, how's the laser logo-etching concept coming along?

The concept, as I recall, has been made a reality.

That's not a good idea unless the topic is ONLY discussed in a 'free for all' forum. Posters may forget and bring inappropriate comments into the civilized threads. We need a respectful attitude throughout the forum, where other members are concerned.

Jeez, you might need a whole site of its own for that

 

[Purple-Days]

I'll put up a laser logo picture, in a bit, but Max is right it's here, it's cool, it's done right here in Port Orford.

 

[Lo]

Hey Leozdad!! Love your grain Looks great!

I would love to see pix of the laser etching as well... I was thinking a billy bowl to match my PD soon

 

[Lucic77]

I assume I should buzz-butter up my new billy bowl, but should I use it in the inner bowl part, will that come off into my herbs? Thanks.
