Well... I have not been following this thread for a while. I just wanted to let anyone know who may be following, that I received a replacement Ascent today. I was surprised to see the US mail on a Sunday. It has been around 3 weeks (I think) since I sent my unit in for inspection. It appears...

If I recall correctly, my original unit was a 1AA1 model. It came back from the first repair with a 2AA1 lower unit on it. It still didn't work correctly all the time. It progressively became worse with use. I use it every day & have missed it each time I send it back. Seems to take a minimum 2...

I need to learn how to determine if I have a "new" Ascent, or a "re-furbished" unit. Does DaVinci mark there re-furbished vapes in some way? I have returned my Ascent to DaVinci twice now due to it having an intermitant control problem. The tech at Davinci reports that the unit functions...

I have a tall pill bottle that I soak the 2 glass pieces in rubbing alcohol. When one set of glass tubes plugs up, I rotate the pieces & soak the plugged set. I have been doing this since I bought my Ascent. The other day I noticed that the alcohol was pretty dark. I poured it into a glass...

Thanks again for the replies. I'm new to the world of vapes & don't know or recognize much of the lingo. Abbreviated models or names leave me lost.

Thank you all for the replies. As far as budget? Well that is variable. I don't mind spending good money on a "quality" product. As far as stealth factor. That's not so important. 90% of the usage would be inside my home, but something that can be taken on the road is important. I like pocket...

Greetings all. F.N.G. here. I'm looking for advise on buying a portable vape. The only 2 models that I'm familiar with are the Vapor Genie & the DaVinci Ascent. I was real pleased with the Ascent until I went to use it. It has been returned to the factory once before & still needs to be sent...

Well... I'm still in the process of returning my Ascent back to DaVinci. It is not a very user friendly or efficient process. Had I known the problems that I would have with this unit, I would not have bought it. Thank you Had I known that these vapes were made in China, I would not have...

Could someone please enlighten me on what these "Glass Flowers" are all about? Thank you.

Thanks for the info. When returning one of these units, the factory recommends using a paste made of salt & rubbing alcohol. I wasn't to keen on using salt. I did douse the lower unit fairly well with several alcohol soaked q-tips to clean it up.

Thanks for the reply. I have access to a lazer temperature sensor & have been intending to check out the actual temp. The unit seems to never charge fully. The battery indicator will continue to blink even after charging overnight. The battery will show solid, but it continues to blink. Plus...

I have a DaVinci Ascent that I bought directly from DaVinci. I have had a problem with it combusting at low temperatures. It even combusted at 325 degrees. I sent it back & they replaced the heating unit. I just received it back & it looks like they may have installed a new lower end. I'm still...
