    The Herbalizer Shipping & Rambling Thread

    When did you order (was it some time prior or the same day)? You shouldn't be charged until it is shipped (or getting ready to be shipped anyways).

    I'm not sure of why you would do that. At this point, there seem to be no known issues to resolve, so you wouldn't be getting a "better unit" in so far as basic functionality goes. Most likely a new rev would have some improvements, like features added and what-not, but that's more icing than it...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    That's about what I do, although perhaps not those exact numbers. I'll hit low for the flavor, then temp-step throughout the night. I keep different containers for different max temp ABV, with a final catch-all for everything taken to 392°F which gets saved not for vaping but for other...

    I don't know that'd I'd go off of what the eComm site says is available. In fact I know I wouldn't. But they are working fast and furious to get units out the door. I don't think a month, but certainly not same day either... @Mennovh The way the system is set up now, only tax is applied to CA...

    Normal behavior. I forgot what the engineers said it was, but expected.

    If you read back a page, you will see my rational for why the straight is the better tool UNLESS you are wanting to use viscous material.

    As this is a thread candidate, I don't mind so much being off topic for a bit... Wow. I never knew that, and I do things like listen to podcasts on language FOR FUN. (Yup. I'm that warped.) But I guess there is a first time one comes across any fact. Thanks! EDIT: Also, this, scalawag...

    Cheers. The GonG end is standarized to 14mm or 18mm. I am not sure that the important end (for the Ascent that is) is necessarily standard, so DV might be your only bet for a time being. [I will note that, even in the DV parts, that the newer stems fit better than the older ones, so it seems...

    *sigh* If one is going to participate in a thread, it might behoove said person to at least read a few pages back of that thread before posting questions that have recently been addressed. Otherwise, one is saying "my time is too valuable to read anything, but your time isn't and you should...

    First time I did a cleaning using ISO and rock salt. The rock salt works as a scrubbing agent if you can swirl some around in there. Since then I haven't been doing cleanings, but rather extractions. 190° Everclear. I let it sit for days, but that's mainly because I don't remove a stem until I...

    The Herbalizer

    A few initial thoughts: The first couple of days, I tried to stay in the "Uplifting" range. (IIRC the name correctly... too lazy to walk into other room). I normally temp-step, so I might start this low, but usually never stay there. I figured, if they were going to the trouble to label temp...

    Seems like most anyone who has chimed in on the GonG as a mouth piece prefer it to the stock stem. The U-unit is more intended for oils and whatnot, that would get messy if the unit was turned upside down. The flower doesn't care as much, as long as the bowl is packed. I'd opt for the...

    Well then... Decided to try to stay <=329°F for the eve. Science. Measured out 0.08g of Great White. No pack, just toss in. Attach the whip and quickly find the herbie game where one generates red lines on the screen upon draw. Try to get high-score and give up when I understand it is "three"...

    Alright... so I've been conducting tests.... :science: :science: :science: Predominantly on straw extrusion levels for both the default and GonG. (As I type, I'm doing an ABV extraction test between units right now, and a few more tests with bowl size/loading/etc...) I find a few...

    @Medical Mark good to hear you chime in! Missed you around these here parts! Thanks for your input! I'm glad you are seeing (feeling? tasting? hearing? touching?) some of the exact issues I am. I do (usually) keep one of my Ascents for special purposes. But not for extractions as I feel a lot...

    First a general note: I know I've mentioned this a few times off-handedly in passing, but never in this context. It didn't occur to me until I was on a trip and used the stock glass straw that it dawned on me (see below), I am doing something different from most (all?) of you. Or -- more...

    That is not correct. Aromatherapy is an added feature, but not the focus. The focus here is on *PRECISE* (In a definition of the word that will be new to you or any seasoned vapist) temp control and extraction. This does have particular relevance to the medicinal user, but affects anyone who...

    I said I'd get back to you today. I don't have the exact plastic, but it is a manufacturer's proprietary formula with high-temp and strength additives. The high-temp isn't really needed, as the shell should never get hot enough to be of any concern. The guys, being "rocket...

    I didn't answer before as I didn't have a better answer than it's a mold injected substance. If you are asking about the exact chemical compound, I don't have that answer, but if no one replies with a definitive answer by Tues, I'll get you one
