That's what I thought. Bummer, that'd be dope...
Still looks pretty damn decent though! Haven't been watching this guy much till a few days ago. Looks alright!
I like the oil can idea (that is, if i am understanding it right)
Plop some wax in the can? Insert into Ascent? And wa-lah?
Or...am I missing something haha.

Looks like the all black one is croc skin too

You are correct, or at least it is not being sold as such. This has been discussed in more depth in this thread.
Please see the wiki page but real wood didn't fare well with the temp changes, and the croc is faux.
Please see the wiki page as there are three models. "Stealth" is all black. Croc skin has silver sides.
As rsqemt911 pointed out, the info on that page is not all up-to-date. For example, I believe the packaging shot was an old shot originally sent to distributors/retailers to generate initial interest.
If by "wa-lah" you mean turn it on and inhale, then yes.

By the way thanks for putting the time and effort into the wiki article, nigel. When I first heard of the Ascent and was referred to the wiki I got caught up to speed on it fast.

No worries. That's what it's there for.I'm updating it every time there is more information, so it is as current as the info we have. (unless I missed something... I'm only human, of flesh and blood I'm made)
EDIT: If anyone sees something I missed or is not correct. please PM me and I'll correct as quickly as I can. Thanks

Interesting spot for the power button, but at least it shouldn't get turned on by accident:
And I'm surprised how open the air intake is and the sharp edges in the bowl:
But this packaging looks sufficient to me:
But if it's alibaba it's hard to tell, could be real, could be a prototype, could be a copy
I'm pretty sure DV said a few pages back that the packaging shown there was prototype packaging and the finished one doesn't look like that at all.

There are two buttons, to prevent accidentally turning it on. The other is in the front.
Additionally, the rep mentioned a master power button under the grill, but that could be old data and replaced by the one in the mouth piece.

As has been mentioned, those photos are not current.
I'm fairly sure that the model I handled did not have a front power button. There are three front buttons, a + and a - to control the temperature and scroll through settings, which you bring up by pressing the gear button. The current location of the power button (shown in the photo) makes it extremely unlikely that it would get turned on accidentally. I don't think the grill is meant to be removable either, so nothing under there.

Pak -- All of that info was collected by going back through this thread several times for all of the Rep's posts. Of course what she said at the time, might have been changed by now.
But it is my understanding that a second button press on the front is required to turn the unit on to prevent accidental ons. I do not believe it is a discrete button, but rather one of the front buttons was dual-purposed.
The glass lined ceramic bowl should be fairly insulating. You are right that it visually seems like a straight airpath, but from what we have been told, it should predominately be convection.
The area between the grill and the bowl is the area I understand least, but the minute I get mine, I'm taking it apart and telling you more.

Please don't take any offense, but that's why I was asking Pak... I know he understands the difference and he saw it hands-on..

Compared to what? After the cera, there hasn't been any portable other than the davinci to look forward to. Unless there's others that came out this year that I'm not aware of.I have a review unit coming before too long. Looking forward to getting the unit and testing it out for everyone. Personally, this has been my most anticipated portable of the year.

Didn't the PN and water tool come out this year?

You could be right about the button press. It could easily have slipped my notice at the Expo, there was a lot going on. I didn't look closely enough to notice the airpath either. I am pretty sure it isn't 100% conduction, however.
You won't be taking this thing apart in a hurry. I did specifically examine it to see how difficult it would be to disassemble, and there are no obvious screws or seams.

i remember hearing that a power button press would turn it on and a long press would start the heating. or maybe the other way around. it does kinda look like a conduction now. btw ive been looking for a clear picture of the top and bottom for a while now so good job marvil
and im getting stealth but on the croc i like the small wrinkles a lot better. the big wrinkles look cheap imo

It sounds like everyone ordering with gotvape is getting a better deal. They get a guarenteed free adapter, they dont have to constantly check the dv site to try to be the first to order in order to actually get the ascent and possibly the adapter before they (the adapter and eventually the ascent too) run out. They also get 15% off their order from a promotion. I feel like thats a bit unfair, those sticking with davici and that have been preregistered and following this thread for a long time should be getting a better deal.
Just my personal opinion.

I think that was already laid out by DV a while back. It is just now that GotVape is giving away free stuff some people here think there should be additional freebies and discounts for FC pre-registrants. DV is already behind on this one, I don't really think we should be expecting anything else but I guess you never know.

DV has said that everyone who pre-registered will get a free gift (adapter). And you don't need to continuously check the website to "be the first to order." They'll be distributed in order of pre-registration.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone!
Uh oh. If you've all been watching me, then I have some serious 'splaining to do.
Yup, it's a bed.
We've been watching you too Jill, thanks for finally joining! Guy's, we got another one!

Welcome, and thanks for crawling out from under the bed to join us.
