First *CONSUMERS*. A review unit is different. I'm still trying to track down where I saw the (multiple separated by time) statements in relation to review units. My have been in some rabbit hole off of FC... :( I came across this when looking for the reviewer unit comments. A few people have...

:) I'm certain there have been both early posts and more recent posts that have claimed review units will be available "mid-campaign." Only issue is I can't recall if it came from @Zenpen directly (I was just scanning old posts, despite my protestations to exhaustion and bleary eyes) or if it...

Sorry. I am exhausted from the last two weeks so I'm not going to comb through the thread, but I thought it was suggested that review units *WOULD* be out in "mid-campaign". [No note on how many or to whom, but the time frame I thought was *SPECIFICALLY* cited.] Please correct me if my tired...

Feh... I couldn't get the thermocouple to seat properly in my meter to get an accurate read on ice H2O. So much for "standardized" connectors... So I don't have an answer for you on the other (low) end, although I reasonably still suspect it approaches zero. So, you have @OF's measurement on...

Thing is, it's been said that there will be review units out. Perhaps they said neither "independent" nor "third party", but a bunch of us are expecting reviews in "mid-campaign". Of course I see the jocular intent here. But others including n00bs might not recall • Do not ask...

As I indicated in my previous post, this can be incredibly variable, dependent upon a lot of factors. If you do a search on this thread, you will discover some posts by @OF where he measured time ON A FULL LOAD (which, also as mentioned, I don't believe to be what MOST people do, so that most...

Pretty darn close... if you let it. It is surprisingly accurate, but you have to understand that it takes time to get the full load to temp (and time for thermal recovery after draw). So, although the display might read at temp, keep in mind it is being measured OUTSIDE of the load, and it...

Reminds of of the old B&O CD players that wall mounted. Doors opened when one waved their hand in front o them. Don't recall if they ever made a turntable like that,but probably not as one would have to have linear tracking like the PoS Techniques junk. Also, one thing to consider: If this is...

Hahahaha! This has been mentioned before (I presume it wasn't you :) ). I don't think the Herbalizer guys anticipated this desire... until FC people brought it up. IIRC, I don't think do. Also, I think the first thing that would happen when you open it is that the whip would fall out (if you...

Ah, I see someone is actually reading the thread, to be answering a question from page 6. :) The wiki page has the bowl dimensions on it. If I do the maths correctly, I believe it to be 2.1 cm^3. Oh, that reminds me: I never did a salt test on the Ascent as I couldn't find my bloody scale...

Yeah, calm your jets... Let's get the issues ironed out first.

I only just found out about this thread yesterday. Took me this long to read the whole thread. Put me in the "pretty skeptical, but optimistically hopeful" column. ;) Not sure if I will hop on the crowd-source, or wait for the dust to settle. It is a nice price point. PS: Oh, the claim I...

Add to this the fact that someone with a problem unit is SIGNIFICANTLY more inclined to go online and post a comment. (Conversely, people with working units are less inclined to post the "everything is fine" posts.) This skews perception. [Of course this fact does nothing to help the people...

Most definitely not refurbished. And the only difference between the models is cosmetic. I'm not sure how they are assembled, but one design may or may not be from the same batch. Also, failure to take into account the distribution between the models. The Stealth is being produced in greater...

Lately, I've been measuring every load. I put a small square of paper, folded on the diagonal, and tare the scale. (old chemistry habit) You don't have to weigh, but the folded paper makes an excellent "funnel" to pour the product in. As the fold is on the diagonal, I have no trouble working...

:clap::clap::clap: Now... you do realize there are two other Ascent threads, with maybe about 400 pages total, right? Enjoy your weekend! :) :p [I kid here about reading all ~400 pages. I congratulate anyone that takes the time to read even a large part of a thread before posting. :) ] Uh...

Nicely done. Some how the notion of vaping the cotton escaped me. Really, both load and extraction temps factor heavily, so I'm not surprised. I've gotten huge clouds off of large high-temp loads. I've gotten almost-hour-long sessions off of very small loads indeed, but managing temp. To...

:) Well, I think my main point is that, for as many different approaches, there are as many solutions. So not so much an issue of "right or wrong" as "right, right, right, kinda-off, right, wrong, right, wrong, wtf were you thinking?!?" Some factors do have global impact, but other finesses...

There has been a prolonged discussion within the last few weeks on maximizing efficiency of very small loads. (one of them was 25mg) Regardless -- for a variety of load sizes -- there are different techniques to maximize output. Across the board, the glass screens from $store is a good start...

I have not really investigated this. But, I rather prefer using the 14mm straight adapter as a mouth piece. It sticks out about about as much as the normal stem extracted does, whilst still being seated all the way down. Also, I rather like the heft/feel of the GonG end. Normal straw seems a...
