Uh.... why is facebook getting the info before we are? :(

Not to burst your bubble or anything there, nigel, but FC actually isn't the centre of the universe, not even the vapourizing universe. Compared to Facebook, we're a tiny fragment of their potential market. We might tend to be more knowledgeable abut so what? If they don't sell two or three orders of magnitude more units to Facebook members compared to FC members, I will be astounded.

Why would they not include that?
He's alluding to the Cera, which has a base price of $250 that doesn't include the battery and charger, for the benefit of people who already owned suitable batteries or a charger. Initially they weren't included by default but now there are and removing them is an option. I'd be surprised if they were advertising a price on facebook that didn't include batteries.

Well ... everyone's own perspective of the Universe is essentially creating their own reality and therefore everyone is ultimately the center of their own Universe ... perspective is everything :lol:

I think it would be pretty fair to say that FC is the centre of the vape universe - I don't think there's a more influential vape community on the web. FC members (and lurkers) are members of other sites too, and the stuff that gets rigorously nutted out here spreads to the rest of the world.

And of course, due to lack of anonymity, a lot of people aren't comfortable discussing vapes on Facebook.

The good news is the price....
The bad news is the date: I just booked a flight to Amsterdam for the last week of march. Doesn't look like my ascent will be with me by that date, specially because I need it sent to Europe.... It's a pity, its long batteries would surely do a great service there.

I hope that after the Vegas tradeshow, the manuf will reappear and give us all the details, specially a hard date.

Whats up FC, after hours of reading this forum while Vaking in my new Plenty by Storz and Bickel, which i love by the way. I decided to fully join the FC cause, and do away with combustion all together. To do that i will need a solid portable vape that i wanted to be the Ascent. At first i was going to wait, but after reading these and other threads i decided to splurge on the newer DaVinci V2 w/car charger direct from davincivaporizer.com so i knew i would get the newer version. I ordered it about 5 hours ago so ill let you know when it comes in. I still plan on getting the Ascent in march if everything goes right with the release, fingers crossed. :uhoh:

Well this is my first post and i dont want ti to be pointless so i have a question for DaVinci that i dont think has been asked yet. Will there a limited number of the... i guess you would call them "skins" i.e. carbon fiber, croc skin, ect.., beacuse if you are making them fashionable no one likes to buy a brand new pair of shoes and then see everyone else has the exact same pair. To avoid that all you would have to do is change the cosmetics of the device every so often, or offer a customizer type website for designing your own personalized "skin" Also there are only so many crocs in the world so that would make for a great "while supplies last" kinda thing LOL:lol: J/K. Its just an idea but If customizing isnt an option because of cost.. understandably.. and there is a limited numer, make sure to hold a croc skin for me:brow:. I really like how DaVinci interacts with the FC community and im looking forward to hearing from them.... Hopefully sooner than later, Thanx for listening.

Im in the same position but Im actually thankfull its not out until after my trip in April. More money for goodies! Dont know if I can get PM's as a new member but seeing as youre there a week before me Id appreciate a message with whats hot in dam right now! If you dont mind of course!

250 is reasonable imo. I just wonder if the price in the UK will be inflated as the original da vinci is still selling for £160 or the eqivalent of $250

just saw this on Facebook:

DaVinci Vaporizer Pricing update- we will be releasing the Ascent Vaporizer at $249!


WOOO-HOOO!!!!!

when i replied to their FB comment i got this comment back:

DaVinci Vaporizer We'll be shipping by end of March, stay tune for a hard date.

now can i get a double WOOO-HOOO!!!

Thanks for the heads up! That's very awesome. I would suspect they would come with batteries and charger and can be charged while in the device, IIRC. Hope the reviews are awesome and I get to see clouds.

i believe the cells are internal and not user replacable. like pax and INH... so they will def come with the vape.

But they will come with the unit I am pretty sure. I don't know why they would not give us the plug cause we asked for a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer one. Short plugs aren't as easy to deal with IMO. I have at least ten plugs next to me so I need to velcro them together to make them neat but so many different lengths and the short ones end up not being able to hang.

Not bursting my bubble at all, as I, or presumably anyone that possesses faculties sufficient enough to cloth themselves and not make messes in the house, realize that the FB audience is significantly larger.

But I guess the level of sophistication to realize that also implies one recognize that there is value in a smaller audience that is a qualified target demographic. Essentially, you have an extremely well vetted focus group here. And vocal too, which gives you a chance to get proponents (free spokes people) out there...once you get a unit into someone's hand.

HINT HINT: Where is the FC contest we were promised would be out several weeks ago?

In fact the company *has* been using us for input on the device, and I think that is a great thing.

So, yes the FB audience is huge, and you will get more sales over-all from that group. And I never suggested NOT marketing to that audience. But there is a different value to be had from this audience, particularly in the early days of a product. It is a quality vs quantity distinction.

The core audience here are most likely to be decision makers and decision influencers.

One well-reasoned, informed, and articulate review here (Don't mean to single out FC as I realize there are other good vape boards, but I like the people here.) is worth 1,000 "Likes." Hell, one review here consisting of nothing other than "Fuck yeah!!!!" I consider to be more informative than said likes.

All good points that sway the argument towards FC in your opinion, but I'm pretty sure Organicix has taken that into consideration and did not agree with your conclusion, since they posted on FB first.

Also, they know we have thicker skins. Well, most of us anyway.

Ah, but that presumes facts not in evidence: Mainly that it was a calculation rather than an oversight.
;)

Judging from the litany of things that we will get "in just a few days" I'm inclined to to speculate that an over-worked rep in the run-up to product launch is the explanation that assumes the least. :)
