    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    @Glass004 -- Did you try the new charger on the other unit before sending it back? The screen on Ed's stem is a metal screen, right? I'd expect that work much better than the glass screen, but then again, it's not glass. For what they were able to do with the glass screen, I think they did a...

    The Grasshopper

    Or you could, you know, just grow up and be an adult and not break things for fun. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bunch of bubble-wrap to attend to that's not going to pop itself... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Although I haven't bothered to count, I can confirm the high hit count and lengthy sessions that @KeroZen is reporting on small-ish loads (~.07-0.14g). I might go so far as to say my count/time might even be higher, but then I'm doing probably more but smaller sips. Also the flashlight does...

    Oh, I did pick up the Pinnacle WT. It fits the 14mm GonG just perfectly. It is a bit small (water volume), but good for portability. It does have a negative effect on the flavor (as to be expected), but I rather enjoyed using it (more than I thought I would) this weekend. Well... I'm sure...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    When I first got mine, I was packing the whole bowl, trying firm packs and light packs. Whatever I did seemed really inefficient. I did eventually go to reduced bowls, but I think it wasn't until I tried an experiment at ~0.025g before I really began to understand the efficiency here. If you...

    The Herbalizer

    Take a look at the first part of this article. There's a profile on the lesser heard-about 50% of the Dynamic(engineering)-Duo and our favorite medical device. :) (BONUS: Link to this thread in article.)

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Can we all please stop saying "soak". :) That's not the problem. It's handling that's the problem. Now as it turns out 99% of the handling one does with the stems is cleaning them, so that's when one would expect problems. When the stems are sitting in the unit, or sitting on a shelf, they...

    Thank you so much for your photos and also for your observations. I'm sure that will help quite a few people here. Well said. Well said.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    It is NOT because of the ISO, but because of the "soak" (or more specifically, how it was soaked, not the soaking itself). Those things are fragile as it is a very thin piece of glass. I was using a spare stem as a dampener and crumbled it. I had a friend trying the hot cocco extraction and hit...

    In the original Ascent thread, DV stated they had looking into USB charging, but it just wasn't feasible/practical, I believe owing to the two batteries inside.

    The Herbalizer

    The Herbie is so bloody easy to use that I don't think there is a lot in this category. I think you got most of them. The only thing I'd add is for all of the adaptations for glass/WT. I know @grokit uses some o-rings in coupling. @letter never sent uses a 14mm->10mm reducer. (I ordered the...

    Any SD Herbie-owners comfortable talking about their Herbie on camera (and have availability soon)? DM (not in thread) me if so.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Wish I could tell you a way to reboot the device. But I have a feeling it might need to go back. :( If you look down on an open bowl, it is printed on the leading edge in the black. On mine it is near impossible to read as it is worn down. Reading a thread before posting in it, even if it is...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Well, as the person that first stirred the hornet's nest here at FC as to the Ascent, I look forward to your input. I thought you had tried one, but 10's of thousands of posts later, who can remember who said what? :) I'd be keen on the Firefly and the Herbie (I know... not a portable, but...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Well, the 5 working units I have access to are just as anecdotal as someone else's X bad units in a row. That was kinda my point. But there were indeed a lot of early units that had that issue before DV could shape things up. I have not disputed that. Just not "ALL OF THEM!!!" as keeps cropping...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Why do you "suspect" that: :) Not just one. If you count the loaner and then the ones I got as gifts for friends, that's 5 units I have direct (if not daily) access to -- all 1AA1's, all in use for 4-10 months, and all without failures. And that's the point I have been making all along...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    And some people have multiple units (all 1AA1's) and none of them have failed. :) I just don't think that is true. One of my units has been a daily driver longer than anyone here has had one (minus, of course, SLiM, theHerbalReview, and... ? (Was it sticks? I forget.)). The other unit get...

    Have you checked out Ed's stems? He makes not only a screen+sip set, but also a "GonG" (WonG??) adapter? You can use only the sip half, or I'm looking at the GonG as I perfer thqt to the normal sipping straw. (keeping the glass screen stem...) I don't have one, but @CarolKing likes her's. They...

    At 330°F you will be boiling off a lot of the THC (∆-9 would be at ~315°F), but would still be low for ∆-8, CBN, CBC, a few more cannabinoids and a mess of terpenoids. So, would expect a different effect than at your usual temp range. "Enhanced" could just be the absence of other compound you...

    Oh, that's great! I just took another look at the photo, and with the glass insert sticking out, it had looked smaller. That's just about exactly the size I was hoping for! Now shutUp&TakeMyMoney.jpg :) [EDIT: Why does it seem like people think I was asking about a date? I was asking about...
