I'm interested in this and the ear shields, possibly a steamer, too. Who said something about a flat iron?

I GOT MY PIBBS!!! YAAAAAAAY!!! I went home to check the mail (yeeaaah right!) and there were my two boxes sitting soundly at the front door 
. I opened the smaller box and walked around the house with the hood on my head...i just wanted to see if it fit . Um, question, was anybody elses hood ticking when they got it? My timer was slowly going off and making a buzzing/ticking sound. I jumped up quick cause i thought someone attached a bomb to my dryer...

Which model? Is it working correctly? Zora reported a similar ticking problem with her 512 and it is defective. Let us know asap.

My 512 is ticking. I thought it was normal because it stops after a while after the timer shuts off.

It's not the ticking. Zora's Pibbs did nothing but tick. It's the "not working beyond ticking" that is the problem.

My 514 ticks for a few minutes after I turn it off. I think it's normal too...just the timer.
ETA: Mine wasn't ticking when it arrived...just after I let it run for a while and then turned it off. It stopped a few minutes later.

no i sent just the hood back today (ups should have picked it up) they told me i will have to wait until they get it but ups said they have to "inspect" it before they return it to them and do the credit thing. i didnt even notice when i was openeing it(in my excitement) that the box had 5 dents in it!!!! because before that i wasnt sure ups was to blame you know i thought someone had tightened that black ring around it too tight but then the ups lady asked me was there any damage to the box and i counted 5 dents!!! they need to be ashamed of theirselves!!
My 514 does the same.

ITA, it's the timer. I have the 514 and I think mine does that too after I run it for a while... I it's a VERY faint ticking though. I believe it's the timer because each time that I heard it, it was when I didn't let the timer run out on it's own. I'm not sure how long it goes on though, because I unplug my Pibbs after every use. I'm not even sure if it stops ticking immediately after I unplug cuz I'm always running to the mirror to see my style outcome
I'm getting so vain...I received my Pibbs 512 today. When I got home, the box was sitting by the door opened. Uh oh, that meant my parents opened it wondering what it was. Yep, they officially think I've lost my mind spending $180 on a dryer. Their biggest concern was the electric bill. Haha....but they were impressed when I turned it on and it was quiet. 
Thank so much for this deal. I'm so excited to use it!

Excellent news. Enjoy!!
I haven't received mine yet, but I must rave about the speedy service. I mailed my money order on Tuesday evening (1/29) and the dryer is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow (2/1).
I sent mine on the same day....but never recieved notice of when it will arrive.

I would love some ear protectors!
Question for 514 owners who are APL (like me):
what temperature are you ladies drying your hair? I used my Pibbs at 50 degrees and after the hour it was 99% dry. I want the perfect temp so that I can dry within the hour.
Pics below.

To all Pibbs ladies:
How are you deep conditioning under the dryer. I sat there with a plastic cap and the cap felt like it was going to lift up off my head.

I got my ear protectors at a normal BSS for like $2. I'm not APL yet, but my hair is thick and hopefully will be APL in the next few months. With all my newgrowth and what length I do have, I set my 514 to 60 and was about 98.9 percent dry in 25 minutes. I set the timer for 45 minutes, but when I went to check for dryness, it was dry! I had 20 more minutes to go. I was doing a rollerset using purple and grey magnetic rollers.
How are you drying it? What style are you putting your hair into (ie. rollerset, twistout, etc.)? I think the perfect temp is whatever amount of heat you can bare until it's dry.

thats the same question i was gonna ask. i sat under mine with the fan blowing and it sucked up a piece of my hair. i was afraid for my life lol.

Thanks. I'll get them for $2 then. I'll also try 60 degrees for maybe 50 minutes.
I did a regular rollerset on grey rollers. I just hate to stop, check hair, reroll and sit back under the dryer if my hair is not dry after a certain time.
I'm trying to get this down to a science where I can predict exactly (give or take 5 minutes) how long it will take to do my hair from wash to finish for a regular rollerset. I want to perfect it so that it becomes a habit for me.
For special occasions, I'll switch it up with smaller rollers, twists, etc. But on regular wash day, I want to sail through

I DC with a plastic cap on with no problem. If you're afraid, but the hairnet on over the cap to stop the suckage. My cap doesn't feel like it's being sucked up- I think it depends on how far into the hood you sit, the amount of DC you use, the amount of hair you have and the size of the plastic cap you use. Meaning, someone with shorter hair, alittle DC, with a large plastic cap on whose sitting up into the DC may feel like it's being sucked up as opposed to a person with MBL with lots of DC in their hair with a large plastic cap who may be sitting lower in the hood. BUT I would NEVER sit under there with your hair just out because it may very well get sucked up into the fan.

I can understand- time is valuable and I don't want to spend a lot of it under a dryer LOL Yeah, try 25 minutes on 60 and let us know if it works for you.Thanks. I'll get them for $2 then. I'll also try 60 degrees for maybe 50 minutes.

Question #1 - try 55 (I also do 50 I'm BSL and it's usually about 80 minutes for me) - I said I would experiment with 55 or 60 for 1 hour
Question #2 - DC with plastic cap - but you have to wear you hair net as well with it.
Yes, please wear the net with the plastic cap when you DC.

Thank ladies
Ok so I think the consensus is to wear a hairnet over the plastic cap when deep conditioning under a Pibbs.

Correct if you feel like your cap is being sucked up. I don't feel like mine is being sucked up, I don't know about everyone else, but I don't sit all that far up into the hood. In my fotki, I have a pic of me under the hood of Onyx, That's the same level I sit at when I'm DCing, so my head is not near the top of the hood.Thank ladies
