    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    ...the Ascent, just wispy, tasty vapor. I have got super-high loads of times - a pinch of weed (no more than in the VapCap), fine grind, glass flowers, stepping up through the temperatures. Even though 90% of my vaping these days is with my OmniVap, I still love to kick back for a 10-minute...

    After a few years of daily wear and tear it's time for a replacement. I say screw the IQ . I'm sticking to the trouble free, easy using, easy cleaning, easy toking and always friendly Ascent. I love how when you accidently drop it , and you will, it still works. I love how I can put a level 1/4...

    The ever generous CS of DaVinci deemed my broken Ascent non reparable and sent me a brand new unit for the cost of a $60 6 month warranty. If you have a broken Ascent, and have $60 to spend on a premium session vape, get this warranty RMA done. ✅

    I agree. I will keep my Ascent as a backup for the IQ. For get together of family and friends the abilities of the Ascent are unsurpassed as a session vape. It is possible to load micro hits with the glass spacers or flowers. The efficiency and great long lasting taste always surprises...

    ...of the VapCap in recent weeks but I broke some glass and came back to the Ascent. Stepping up the temperatures with a smallish load and glass flowers as spacers gives me a gentle trajectory and a smooth long-lasting high. A little bit more product and I'm happily spaced for hours :leaf:. Just...

    I use Pyrex glass flowers which are safe. The glass chunks of broken flowers are easy to separate from ABV cuz of their heavier weight. I use the chunks of glass until I lose them with the ABV. The chunks make great spacer/heat sinks. The glass will bend and break. You can get jars of 300...

    So, I've been getting very satisfactory results using the small, coloured glass flowers... BUT ...on the IQ thread I saw something about concerns around lead poisoning !!!!! I've tried to find mention here, on this thread, but can't. My flowers, especially the stems, are shrinking. Some of the...

    But you see that smell is outgassing? You can smell it because the heat converted it to a gas and it escaped...... It has to be a gas for you to smell (applies to most everything, although you can smell aerosols i guess). The materials causing the smell will eventually be exhausted, it varies...

    Whoosh! I've just finally tried the glass flowers in the Ascent and it's la bomba! I was surprised by how small they are - thought they'd surely explode and shatter the ceramic.. threw three of them (try saying that out loud :lol:) on the bottom, same usual tiny load of no-name bud on top, 5...

    Has anyone in EUROPE bought glass flowers/spacers? The links here are all for US suppliers - flowers cost $5, postage $20! Can't find anything on Amazon UK or EBay (from Europe). Thanks.

    The glass flowers are great, and probably the cheapest vaporizer accessory i've purchased, ha. I wonder how a ceramic pie weight or two would perform? Might have to test that out when I get my ascent back.

    ...Then came the understanding that the solution involved more surface area if we had to stick with glass as the heat reservoir...... The glass flowers were the last link in that. Makes a huge difference, doesn't it? I don't recall a single case of 'I tried it, it doesn't work for me'. IMHO...

    Have you actually tried the glass flowers (or to a lesser degree the factory glass spacer)? I have and IMO screens are just not the same thing. Even if they didn't bother the 'all glass vapor path' crowd to distraction. The extra mass of glass in the bowl serves as a (much needed it turns...

    I buy 1" stainless steel screens for $1 a pack of 5 at my local smoke shop and I cut it up to my desired size. Instead of buying the glass flowers, I just roll the screens to fill up the space since I had extra screens on hand.

    ...grind, lightly packed and let it 'heat soak' between hits and you'll get a good start. If you want 'bigger clouds' do a search on "glass flowers" on this thread, lots of discussion of them. Including half a dozen or so mixed through the load will give thicker hits on less herb (for a...

    Ahhh Okay. Thanks for the tip about where the heat source comes from. I''l try it out when I get home.

    Fun experiments, I played a bit with it before giving into the 'all glass vapor path' mantra and ending up with the glass flowers which still IMO outperform the spacers (more surface area, better distribution) but are a hassle to load. You might give them a try, AFAIK everyone who has found...

    ...need to tamp the load to make a flat puck. The holes at the bottom of the bowl must be covered with material at all times. You can add glass flowers or a spacer on top of the puck, it will make it stay in place and it will create a heatsink for extra vapor. Let your ceramic bowl gunk a bit...

    ...will see that this unit does awesome and gives out mass clouds using spacers. Either the glass pipe screens , they are shaped like glass flowers. It's been talked about at length on this thread. You can buy them off amazon. Do some searches. It's better to learn to use this unit than...

    Don't tell @ataxian, you know how he is about glass....... Good news for Ascent owners, I recommend you get a set of these and some glass flowers to experiment with. Increased vapor production with smaller loads of herb await you. OF
