...for extra vapor. Let your ceramic bowl gunk a bit, it helps to keep the puck in place too. Then finally you need to be aware of the air leak. Read the thread then chose a solution of some kind, the easiest being to at least find the matching glass stem pair having the best fit, but you can...

...resonable clouds out of 0.125g in the Ascent BUT that is using proper drawing technique and timing AND after having applied a fix for the air leak AND using the puck technique. Otherwise indeed it's very wispy at best... PS: you can replace the puck by glass flowers or spacers, replace the...

...read the 352 pages (no sane person would do that right?) So here's a quick injection shot: in the search box at the top of this page enter "leak fix" then click "in this thread only" and hit "search". I even made a post containing a few drawings to explain the issue and there are several...

...creating satisfying, but more importantly really tasty clouds, that hit you round the face like a wet kipper! I still wish it didn't leak so much vapour out the bottom of the device, not just because it's not as stealthy but because it's really inefficient. ...Oh well, since when has the...

Isn't the faux-velvet pouch included in the packaging anymore? But the Ascent reeks because resin tends to leak all around the bowl, around the straws and basically everywhere... in a very short time. So if you want to lower smell, clean it more often. Use a paper tissue to wipe the stem and...

...That's not what the spacers are designed for and it strikes me as a first rate way to glue the lower spacer into the oven. Not to mention maybe leaking concentrate into the area below the oven and above the grill where it can't be cleaned but will smell and get worse every time it's used...

What size tubing did you purchase? Have you got a link? Love my Ascent, But when I turn the vape upside down at higher temps I see so much vapor escaping that I don't feel like I can relax and take hits at my leisure. I'm wondering if just having the unit on its side will encourage a little...

Same here. I don't vap above 380 so NP :) Nice !!! I got rid of the upper glass straw. Connected to the lower glass with Medical grade hose. No more air leak, hits way better.

No this should not be the default mouthpiece, instead they should fix the leak at its source: the buddy rim silicone piece! @nigel told me they are well aware of the problem but it's unclear whether a fix will see the light some day or not...

I did it before I ever used my Ascent because I wasn't sure the holes wouldn't leak material. I didn't know what else to do with the screens anyway. I don't think the screen changes conduction at all, since the bottom of the bowl isn't heated.

...172°C, and don't wait more than 10 seconds between hits, sometimes only 5 seconds. The other difference I can see is that I applied the o-ring leak-fix when most of you guys just use the partial "better mating" fix (with the exception of CK who uses the "above the rim o-ring fix" +...

...flowers nor spacers and get ample vapor with between 0.06g and 0.12g on average. For me the biggest change was when I fixed the buddy rim air leak. I never *ever* fill the bowl fully, I would end way too medicated and it would take half the battery capacity to complete! Now maybe it's...

The Ascent has an oven that is constantly on, whereas with the MFLB you can control the heater with the battery. The biggest distinction other than the Ascent always being on is going to be the temperature control. While it will always vape your herbs, you can control the temperature at which...

...time? What I love about the Magic flight is you can take one hit and leave the rest for later. Is this the same for the ascent? 2) How much leakage of vapor is there? I like to take my vape to the movie theater which I use along with the smoking buddy to blow vapor out into. Can I still do...

...Especially over 400°F, it can get the ABV/popcorn taste in no time and destroy all the terpenes. I start low and I get vapor on the first hit. Did you fix your air leak btw I don't recall? Also try tamping your load a bit more maybe... you should be getting good vapor without using your trick.

Here's a good place to start reading up on the air leak issue with the Ascent - http://fuckcombustion.com/search/22539805/?q=leak&t=post&o=date&c[thread]=9885 TL/DR - you're letting cool air into the vapor path if you're using the stock stems

Thanks, Carol. How do I find out if I too have the air leak... don't know exactly what its all about?

That's a o-ring I use for a seal. My unit is from last Oct., I still have a little air leak. The GonG or WonG almost eliminate that. I would assume the newer models have a tighter seal. I have the seal around the top where the stem comes out the top of the unit. I took a picture a while back...

What is the best way to use the ascent for concentrates? The glass cans suck. Thanks for some advice. Thanks ratchet. Can you post a link to one of these 14 mm water pipe adapter as a mouthpiece? I just want to make sure I buy the right one. Really appreciate the help.

First off, there's an air leak in the vapor path of the Ascent - this may be why you aren't getting dense vapor. Try using the straight 14mm waterpipe adapter as a mouthpiece - you'll produce some wicked clouds at higher temperatures. Your Ascent is working just fine, sending it in will not fix...
