Hey all !
Working with two folks I think you will like…
A Fellow who will be a great wood worker rescource for our customers… nice stuff.
And another fellow!
Update on our world
Moved to Arizona September 2010. We enjoyed the Oregon Coastline for about years. Could never afford a house during the boom. Still can’t afford a house on the Oregon Coast.
Our friend in Arizona, hence known as Rockazona, helped Pammy find a house we could afford, and we took the leap. It needed lots of work, and still does but little by little we make it our home.
Rockazona has some...
yonasb asked: Hey, Im looking for my first vaporizer and after doing some browsing I stumbled upon your site and would love to become a customer. Problem is I cant tell the difference between the pandora and original and Id like to talk over the phone if thats possible. I tried to look for your number but had no luck.
thanks for the help,

Pandora Kits
Pandora Kits were intended to be a one year project.
Ending about March of 2011. Folks from Russia, to Wales, to New Zed and America and Canada made their own PDs. Congratulations! Fun for all…
We still make the original Purple-Days Diffuser in American Cherry, Black Walnut and Oregon Myrtle. Go to our site : http://www.purple-days.com/index.html to learn more.

Lost acess, cool now, thx Tumblr...
We have moved from Oregon, to Arizona. We are back on Tumblr.com …
Thanks to several folks at Tumblr.com who made this possible. They were great in every way including security.

Wow!!! Thanks Tumblr! We are back !
OK, we are up on Tumblr again, NOT Tumblr’s fault, we lost control through IP moves. They (Tumblr) were very helpful in restoring our access. And very complete in their security checks. Thumbs up to Tumblr… That’s why we blog on Tumblr.com

Our Airport Terminal
It’s pretty mellow.
How to make a vape
This is not how we do it.
Custom Pandoras
We already do several house species. American Cherry, Alder, Ash, Myrtle, and Black Walnut. But some folks want other woods, something with a bit of spice.
Ambrosia Maple. Nice.
This fellow contacted me, asked about the wood’s suitability, we have done this for some folks.
Would you like something extra nice? Maybe we can find the wood.
Now we can offer it to all Pandora Builders....
Shop tools
I enjoy tools and just added another to the shop. Didn’t really ‘need’ it, just had to have it, kinda thing. Good sharpening stones are getting expensive and harder to find. Sandpaper has been an alternative sharpening surface for a long while. Grandpa introduced me to Crocus Cloth when I was young. It is a specialty cloth for a mirror finish / razor edge. Of course , coarse...

Boring a load of units. 15 boring and taping operations before they are ready for the next step.
Pammy's Art
Here is a little example.

New Laser and Wood Man
We are always looking at ways to improve.
In an effort to speed production of Purple-Days and to keep some of the dust out of the Shop we have been using our local Laser and Wood man to do some turning for us. I give them a sample shape and they should be able to follow the simple shape. But seems they don’t pay much attention and way too many of their efforts (that I have paid for) have...
New Leather and Wood
Just finished adding all the new leather substitution choices.
http://purple-days.com/Leather.html
All Pandora Kits come with Elk Hide as the standard leather. If you wish to substitute another leather there are 10 other choices.
Our Original Purple and the Pontiac Green are smooth cowhide. $2 extra
Embossed cowhides: Dark Chocolate Paisley, Chocolate Basketweave, Black Snakeskin, Yellar...
Dark Fins
A while back, on a forum, someone was questioning the Dark Fins, sorta making fun of them. I have said, without some scientific evidence, or reasoning, I was making no claims about the effectiveness of Dark Fins vs. shinny. Just doing it cause it was fun, and probably the right thing to do. I was right ! Why use Dark Fins? “Physicists calculate how much light (or heat) a perfectly emitting...
Juggler
Sometimes my work seems to be a juggling act.
Just for fun here is a juggler unlike any you have seen.

New wood pics
All renewable North American Hardwoods. (No evergreens. No green wood, or ‘wet’ beach salvage wood like others use, expecting it to dry eventually.)
All Kiln dried and Furniture grade. We pay top dollar to bring you the best materials.
New woods
Our new woods arrived yesterday along with our regular American Cherry.
Alder is the wood used to make many American Stratocaster guitars.
Ash is the wood used by Louisville Slugger to make Major League baseball bats.
Black Walnut is a dark furniture wood.
All of these are plentiful and renewable American resources. And will be available as Pandora Kits.
Flag Counter
Been busy around here. Lost UPS shipment, a couple thousand dollars worth of Purple -Days Diffusers, and delays by our distributor’s (Vapenow.com) re-shipper (Amazon) have put us way behind, and we are trying to catch up.
Just got a batch of bodies back from our laser man so more back-orders will be filled soon.
Ordered Alder, Ash and Black Walnut wood and it should be in the shop any...

Another PD item
Our stash boxes are made from pieces of wood too small to use for PD bodies, but too nice to throw away or burn. Now we offer a double barrel stash. Available in American Cherry only.
Next to a single barrel figured Black Walnut. We also have some nice figured Maple for our single barrel stashes. And of course Cherry too.
Woot glass and gold
We have been enjoying the beautiful artwork or our jeweler friends, admiring the object’s beauty and the aroma of grapefruit blossom and orange blossom scents in the bathroom. Sometimes I forget that this is an aroma tool too.
About $400 if you are interested. Gold, Silver and a master at his art.

Keep an eye on that page for ordering details.

Great idea
Very nice, made by a buddy in Maine.
Clear Dome Glass
We sent CD some stainless vapor tips awhile back.
Of course he is concerned with materials safety. We won’t work with folks who aren’t. His mfg. , who supplies the glass-to-steel binder, has provided material safety data on the substance and it’s safety. We are assured that CD cares enough to find out, and happy to hear the positive answers. Right On !
Soon, his...
Porta-Billy fun
We love to give stuff away. The Porta-Billy has made a great prize for a contest on the only forum we visit. See: http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=48&p=1
About 200 pages at this time, but the story is simple. Make the best vape for us… It caught on, folks asked about a website… it has grown since then.

A new era in the Purple-Days Experience
Welcome to our first blog entry. That’s our business card ^, I took that shot, it’s a few miles up the road. It signifies safety and the trust you should expect from a product you use daily.
My name is Tom, and my wife Pammy and I make the Purple-Days Diffuser.
Since the very first day, January 1, 2008 we have been dedicated to making a RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous...
