    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Just now catching up with this thread, after not getting any notifications for about a week... When I got my very first one, I tried some essential oils in it for the first couple of runs. Kinda cool. Eventually, I went to use flowers, and it tasted AWFUL. Turns out it was the ginger in the...

    The Herbalizer

    So I don't want to speak out of turn here, but it does look like manufacturing is indeed starting (touch wood). I did *NOT* ask about quantities (I didn't feel that was any of my business), but I think they might be limited batches at first. I guess this is what we have seen with other vapes...

    The Herbalizer

    I think some people here are going to have a very Merry Holiday and/or end of the year. :) Software is done as of tonight and looks like units will be made next week. (knock on wood!) EDIT: Oh, also Josh showed me a live thermal test. I'm kicking myself I didn't film the output to...

    For Those Who Wish To Buy The Mods a Christmas Present Sans Auction

    I see the seeds of a great idea here. But I'd like to talk to vtac about this first. Plus, this is really a thread about charity. Let's not de-rail it. Please bid on the glassware. Or if glassware is not your need/thing/whatever, think about donating to the paypal as a way to say "Thank...

    For Those Who Wish To Buy The Mods a Christmas Present Sans Auction

    Hahahaha!! From some of the other hats I wear, I already have some "in" on convention space. I'll work on locking down a block rate.... :p [EDIT: @Quetzalcoatl -- uh... hate to say it, but "guest room" goes up for sponsorship first... :P

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    I didn't google it either. I couldn't figure out any good search terms that wouldn't return a lot of non-candies. (eg, I think there is a nail polish company, or used to be one, called hard candy. I think there is a iPhone case manufacturer that used that name too? A lot of non-cany related...

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    Yeah, new post would have helped. :) But just wanted to know I found it on my own and wasn't trying to copy you! This is where I found them http://www.candywarehouse.com/products/sunbursts-candy-sunflower-seeds-17-ounce-packs-24-piece-box/ So you were right on the chocolate. :) EDIT...

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    Ah... I didn't see that as you changed your post a few minutes ago. (Wasn't your original guess in that post Reese's Pieces?) BUt I think we are both right. The shape was really bugging me, and I couldn't get the colors right. But I think we nailed it. EDIT: AH, but you see, I got the exact...

    Sunbursts Candy Sunflower Seeds explains the shape?

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    Hmmm... looks a lot like Wonka Runts, but the yellows are the wrong shape. Green is off for Rainbow Nerds. THe shape is messing me up. Can't get that.

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    Hmmm... no "S"s on them, but not all skittles seem to have the imprint. (I was trying to guess the candy from the other contest) Skittles Darkside or Skittles Wild Berry?

    Auction to benefit our excellent mods - their Christmas present

    Wow! I've seen the auctions, which are generous to begin with, but this is a really cool gesture. I have no need for the glassware, but I really like the idea of the mod-dinner you are funding. Maybe I could throw a few bucks at that to say thanks for all of the hard work and for being so...

    The Grasshopper

    I don't think that's quite what was said. The review units wouldn't come out of a final production run (which is still some time away). They've mentioned all the units they currently have, they are using for development tests. So this basically means doing a limited test run. Now I'm not sure...

    Ascent Vaporizer - The Ordering, Shipping, & Other Nonsense thread

    Keep in mind that the company makes plenty other items for the last few years, including the original DaVinci, and things like accessories and essential oils. The majority of those order numbers are *PRE*-Ascent. RMA numbers are the same. So you are not looking strictly at Ascent numbers in...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Heh... heh... No worries my brother. I know you to be on your game when you reply, so I couldn't understand why I couldn't understand your reply. I now see we were doing the "X Blind Guys and the Elephant" and responding to different parts of the post. Cheers. :cheers:

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Ah, but I think the question was originally "how well does the displayed temp relate to the actual temp". Please correct me if I ms-read it, but I think the original question was the former, not the latter. EDIT: AH! I see it now. OP was indeed as I read it in the first paragraph. The...

    The Grasshopper

    Respectable. And fair enough. Yes. But, no. And of course there are no "*RULES*" so diff companies can do different things, but generally reviewers will get pre-production copies. As stated, different companies will have different approaches, but it is not uncommon to have "near finished"...

    The Grasshopper

    Hearsay as I have not read 100% of the sub-reddit (maybe like 5%?? Who can tell? "Some" is the best I could say.), so basing veracity on a third party proclamation on a statement of second party is the very definition of hearsay. :) EDIT for B2B post: <cameronFrye>@Fenton Mewley, you are my...
