It seems simple now that I have it in front of me; the DV is the most cost effective, engineered, and rugged portable vape on the market today. Can't wait to use this walkie-talkie at this huge concert in March...
Will definitely be educating as many people as possible.

It's an older model, unfortunately, 5XXX. I have no qualms over its functionality thus far, no issue of offgassing which was my biggest concern.

well i couldnt wait for the ascent and took the plunge and purchased a davinci.it seems to be a older model as it does not have the magnetic lid.its charging now ill let you guys know how i make out with it.of course i will be getting a ascent also when it comes out how can i not?
ok so i didnt wait for the ascent cause i needed something now.after hours and hours of research on various other portables and hours reading 75 pages of this thread i decided on this vape.i think i may have a defective unit? when i plug it in it does not matter if the unit is on or off the screen comes on.so i follow instructions and turn the unit on anyways.it says i can use it while charging but when i press the 2nd power button(to heat up) a red light just blinks a couple times and does not heat up.when i unplug the unit i can not get it to turn on at all no blue screen.i am highly dissapointed that i can not even use this thing once.is there something im missing here? im medical patient and i need this vape now hence why i rushed out instead of ordering online and waiting for shipping.after spending good money on this i do not feel too good
when i hold the power button in all it does is change the temp from C to F.wow what luck i have in life.i am a patient and active member of RIPAC here in rhode island.once a month we have patient meetings of around 100+ people and i wanted to do a show and tell on portables.guess i cant do that now.

Try holding the power button in.
ok start again. Push the switch up on the right side, press and hold just for a moment like two seconds the power button, when released you should have a red light and then you can adjust your temp with the other buttons.

You don't mention whether you charged the vape or not, so I'll mention that it may need it when new and it may take a while to fully charge. Just plugging it in for a few minutes isn't enough. If it's not charged enough for use you WILL have to use it plugged in, but it's designed to be used as a portable.
The main power switch (on the side) has to be 'up' to turn the unit on. The heat button should go from blue to red when you press it, and stay red until it reaches the temp it's set for (375 F by default, unless they've changed it). At that point it should be green and stay green unless you increase the temp setting. Then it'll go from red to green again. When the unit 'times out' the heater will turn off and the display will go back to blue. You can still get a hit (possibly two) after switching it off or immediately after it times out.
That pretty much covers the basics so if yours isn't working like that (and it doesn't sound like it is), then you need to contact DaVinci for service.

yep tried that multiple times.i just get a blinking red light.when i unplug it there is no power at all.i dont think its charging either.
max I didn't realize that ugh. He did say it was the older model so it may have been sitting around a while. Also burns have to be done before use....having a senior moment.

The next poster I see posting back to back instead of using the edit button gets both posts deleted and an official one point warning. It's a rule and I'm tired of merging posts for members who are either lazy or don't know the rules.
Contact DaVinci. They'll tell you what to do. They have an 800 #.

i got the last black one and shop only had 1 white left.i really wanted black but i wonder if i could exchange it since i just got it and its unused.i can deal with white as long as it works.or am i forced to go thru davinci?i think out of the 75 pages i spent hours reading i might be the 1st to get a unit that does not work out of the box.if there was a huge open field and 1 pile of shit in the whole field and all i took was 1 step out into the field i would step in the shit.thats my luck.
sorry for back to back posts.this is the 1st of many forums i am a part of that has this rule.next time i wont vape 3 balloons of blue cheese while reading the rules

shadycheeba it sounds like you have a faulty unit my friend I would contact da vinci support. If you have a faulty unit I would have it sent back to da vinci. When i sent my faulty unit back it took like 2 or 3 days before they sent the new one back. Also when the new one came it was the new da vinci which has 2 very huge benefits over the previous one.

The plus is you will get the newer model if you contact them. The battery may have discharged to much but I would still leave it plugged in over night to see. I am not sure I would want to keep a battery that was in that state anyhow even if it does end up working.

Does the main switch need to be on to charge? I just picked one of these up and plugged it into the charger, but there's no charging indicator without turning the main power on. So I figured I'd ask.

Yes you need to have the main power switch on to be able to charge
Thanks, boss! So do we know how much power this thing uses when only the main power switch is on? Is it minimal to the point that I can accidentally forget the main power is still turned on after turning off the heater? Or will that alone drain the battery before I remember that I left it on?

Woooaaaah erratic battery indicator. I turned on the unit, it showed 4 bars, then I turn on the heat and it starts going back and forth between 2 and 3 bars. Time to just let this thing sit and charge. Then hopefully it will stabilize. Ok, enough rambling. I'll be back later with the results of my first use. I hope this can allow me to hold out on ordering the Ascent for a few months.
