Sounds like u need a tolerance break. Ever since I got ascent I've been medicating a lot more. I wasn't getting as high just like u said, so I bought like 3-4 different types and alternate em. Seems to work well. Get pretty baked.

Just to touch on this bit, the language syntax makes me think English isn't his first language, so no he's probably honestly not trolling but can't translate what he wants to say in a way that doesn't seem trollish to you.
While I admire your charity in proposing a defense for our friend, I did review his posting history before I posted. I'm confident that he knows English well enough.

Seems to me a LOT of guys are reporting this exact thing? Always at the end of the session (hot unit) and hangs up at 398F?
I smell some sort of temperature safety going on, normal type failures usually don't repeat like that. I don't think it's an accident. I think the way it shows up when the unit is hot and not when cold is telling.
Has anyone got a resolution/explanation from the maker?

Salutations VapNoob,
Later this month i'll be with a close relative who hasn't converted to vaporism yet and now wants to shop around for a portable, so he can quit smoking. Although he appears to be inspired by what i've done with my VG i feel somehow thermostatic action would be preferable at this point.
Searching around for internal pictures i found yours on page 102 and then this:
It clearly shows DaVinci's Ascent actually offers a see-thru path - which is exactly what captured my attention, instantly...
IMO this should be on page 1 of the present dedicated thread, too bad i found such basic information via YouTube instead! Anyway, now that i've seen what's under the top hood i'd like to know how it's like under its oven, inside the unit.
Can you please assist by providing additional photographic material, more feedback on all possible air paths, etc.?

I just noticed that Got Vape not only claims "a 4 Hour Run time", they say the Ascent has "Removable li-ion batteries".
Yea- removable if you tear the thing apart.
Unless that's an honest mistake (in the early design DaVinci intended to use replaceable batteries)- it's pretty deceptive advertising. Buyer beware & be skeptical.

I meant to say something when OF first mentioned it, but too many posts had gone by.
The original stats (about 8 months before product actually shipped) called for a 4 hour battery life.
Also, the original design was for removable batteries. But then lawyers happened.
So, in both cases, GotVape is only repeating original information that they have never bothered to update.

I'm interested in getting a wooden mouthpiece from Ed for the Ascent. It looks great, not included on his website yet, it didn't sound like it's quite ready yet. I have have been happy using the Ascent glass gong as a mouthpiece. It's always fun trying something new. I thank stickstones for telling us about it.
Since I know that DV has been having trouble with their hinge on the door (the wiring surrounding it) I've been a little paranoid when opening it. I make sure I don't open it too wide.
I think when the Ascent is finally perfected I may want to buy another one. I m sure they will be coming out with more models to choose from in the future.
I think a white pearl would look sharp.

I noticed that I've been breaking glass pipe screen stems inside my Ascent due to the high temps (these new glass screens are more breakable) Some pieces are tiny. If you are saving your ABV be careful, you don't want to ingest shards of glass.

I went with some glass flowers without stems for that very reason.

I told a few people I'd post my vape EDC, so here it is:
EDC items:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Hard case. No I do not know the brand/manufacturer. Friend gave it to me covered with stickers and I'm keeping it that way. Fits nicely in side pocket of tactical pants. Has a mini-carabiner clip.
2. Duh... Stealth Ascent.
3. GonG adapter for use as primary straw stem
4. Extra set glass stems
5. Scoop/tool
6. Temporary solution for ABV. (See #9)
7. Herbalizer pocket grinder card. Useful on the go if a friend has an unground strain.
8. Strain #2 (See #9)
9. Primary Strain, pre-ground. That is the container that my 40+ Glass flowers came in. It is the *PERFECT* diameter for tap-loading the Ascent. And the lid is attached and opens with one hand... important if the other hand is full of Ascent. I would buy more of these for #8 and #6, but, unfortunately, "small container with lid" is too broad a search in Amazon, so I haven't been able to find more. Any help here?
NOT PICTURED: The glass flower screens. Those are in the bowl with a fresh load when I head out.
[EDIT] Also not pictured is the glass oil jar. Don't know how I left that out of the bottom photo. Probably because I almost never use it. But it is useful for either oils if a friend wants or as a quick substitute for the the glass flower screens.[/EDIT]
Non-EDC items that wound up in frame:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Duh. For other herbs/teas/whatever.
B. C. Jyarz for ground fresh flower.
D. E. F. Jyarz for various states of partial-ABV, each labeled with a Max temp, so I know what potentially might be left to extract from each. Once the ABV is exposed to >390°F it goes in a much larger container (not pictured).
G. I have no friggin' idea what that shadow is from. Probably a glass piece I was testing, judging from the way the light shines though it?

So, after waiting anxiously for 5 days, my screens came in today. I popped them open and managed to pack my ascent with the screens in time for 4:20. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but that was by far the worst experience I've had with the ascent. I've had more production from packing it down with my finger than using the screens. I didn't see the slightest but if vapor until I was at 390 and I only started at 350. Only thing I feel from it is that I wasted a chamber of herb.
My stealth ascent was amazing it produces great vapors bs I never used the jar or screens once. Just a pack down real right with my finger or a pen. I just can't seem to get a good run out of this ascent. I'm nearing the point where I want to lobby for my money back. No device that's $250 should have this many issues and bugs and production problems. By the time I send this one back and pay for shipping and wait another 2 weeks I'll be way over having an ascent.
If anyone has any tips for use with the screens they want to rattle of to me right quick I'm open to suggestions, but I'm just about done with this thing. Not even worth searching through all these pages to find the tips because I don't think it'll matter. Sorry if I sound pessimistic, but it's a huge let down.

Careful what you ask for, how about the 1/2 ounce version of these guys:
http://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/plastic_containers/polypropylene_vials/427
Three and a half bucks for a lifetime supply........
I like the next size up as well. Great outfit, BTW, lots of neat plastic stuff.

@OF good call going to TAP.
The 1/2 oz one seems to be a bit larger in diameter than what I have. (The lid, FWIW, is different too.) The smaller diameter is what makes it great for tap-pouring. There might be more spillage with something that is ~33% larger.
I will note that the person that I bought the 40 flowers from is no longer selling them in lots of 40, but in 200! Alas, they are using a larger container.
EDIT: Getting closer. Have better search terms.
These are about it, but approx ~2x too tall.
Oh... closer, but still too tall.
Now I have to go do math on what a "dram" is.
Ah... found a multi-pack that includes:
1.5 Micro Container Dram 0.755 "Dia X 1.135" Ht,pt
2 Dram Micro Container 0.755 "Dia X 1.637" Ht.,pt

Have you tried contacting the seller and/or manufacturer of the flowers to see if they'd tell you their source for the containers?

Yup. Hadn't heard back yet.
If I hear back, I'll post here, as this *IS* relevant to the Ascent... being as the diameter is perfect for filling the bowl with minimal spillage, but otherwise this discussion is ever-so-slightly-off-topic.
Cheers!

Does anyone have tips on how to get the oil jars out? Mine is stuck inside the chamber.
Also this thing is terrible for oils and any concentrates it seems. The lids come off too easy and the oil goes everywhere in the chamber too. Does anyone know of a good way to get the chamber white again? The oil stained in brown pretty badly and a few iso scrubbings haven't helped.
