    Vape-smoking

    I don't remember reading a rule that said one could only do one or the other and if there is such a rule, I break it often. :lol: It is sort of like e-cigs, some people think they "fail" if they have a butt now and again after switching to e-cigs but the way I look at it is that every puff...

    Vape-smoking

    As the comedian Gallagher once said, "Stoned people shouldn't smoke dope, you don't get any higher, only lower on dope.". Words to live by. :lol:

    Does one miss the clouds?

    From readings here and getting to "know" people a little and their preferences through their comments, it seems that there is a wide range of differences in the importance visible vapor has to one's vaping experience. On the one hand, and forgive my generalizations but, one who is more...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I do a warm up going in and if need be, coming out. I warm it up to make cleaning it easier with just q-tips and pipe cleaners, and sometimes that is all it needs. If I need to Everclear it with some q-tips/pipe cleaners, another warm up to clear it out works well.

    Discontinued Pax Vaporizer by Ploom

    For long term storage, cold temperatures are helpful but not at a full charge. That's not what you're seeing though I think. With a chemical battery which relies on a chemical reaction to function, put out energy, is reduced in operating temperature, the colder it is the less chemical...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I guess my obvious questions would be, how fine of a grind do you use and also, how "much" is it been packed? Of course everyone's mileage will vary but what I find is that once initially heated, the contents remain fairly stable. Also, although it was previously unrelated, another "mod" I've...

    Discontinued Pax Vaporizer by Ploom

    That would seem to make sense. I agree with berman as well as what you are wondering, the lower temperature one can operate at and still achieve the affect one is looking for, the more efficient one will find one's usage.

    Discontinued Pax Vaporizer by Ploom

    That should be no problem. Although some may argue for shorter periods, I've not had a problem keeping LiPo's in the R/C world fully charged for up to a week or longer although if I know I won't be using something for that long, I will just plan on using it enough so that the battery is at...

    Discontinued Pax Vaporizer by Ploom

    As long as you don't over drain the batteries, work 'em, they can take it. LiPo's are the backbone of a good percentage of the R/C airplane/helicopter/car modeling as is done with electric motors more so than fueled engines. LiPo's that may be "drained" and recharged numerous times a day. The...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    It will definitely operate with the bowl open. And, giving it a bit of a burn-in when I first got it, I left the oven open until any smell from it went away, which didn't take long, and then I closed it back up to heat the air path a bit although I think that was more out of a feeling for need...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I too have tried the glass jar spacer trick but what I tried today worked just as well. I used a glass jar to compact the material and hold it in place while carrying the Ascent around in my pocket and then when I wanted to vape, I just turned the oven upside down, dropped the glass jar out and...

    Welcome to Fuck Combustion...Tell us about yourself here!

    Welcome! I too started out replacing cancer sticks with e-cigs although that was about 5 years ago. Although the market has been pretty good for desk tops, it hasn't been as good for portables, which is what I am more interested, until just "recently", at least by my estimation and what got me...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    This is a question for 'micro-packers', filling only the bottom of the oven and then using either an oil jar, cotton or even nothing as a filler, after it having been packed down. It is also for one who is able to accurately weigh the amount of material used. In one of the two 'corners' of the...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    One thing I discovered, if one puts too much material in the oven so that the oil jar is in contact with the entrance to the lower stem, vapor can drop off significantly. I don't know if that is because there is a more circuitous route for the vapor to take traversing tighter changes in...

    Welcome to Fuck Combustion...Tell us about yourself here!

    Welcome twigs, I don't mean to get into a discussion of which vape is better but I read about all the issues with both the Pax and the DaVinci Ascent, and still got them both. And, I like both for some of the same reasons and for different reasons. At this stage in the market place, it's not...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    My Dad asks me that all the time, he is old and worries about Altzheimer's as his mother had it but, it's just Ol' Timer's instead, but then again he always has been known to just leave tools where ever he used them last. When he asks me, I just tell him, "It's wherever you had it last.". So...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Thanks to all, "RD", "wags1" and 'Pinnacle Pro". I see many mentioning "session" but it is sometimes hard to know how long of a period of time one is talking about.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    What do you mean by a "session"? My experience with mine, that I got two days ago, was similar although I thought the smell was more like when a house or apartment furnace kicks in the first time during a heating season. Sort of a dusty smell at first. I ran a burn-in for about 1 hour after...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    What works best for me is to put in however much I want to use and then slide in a glass jar on top of it to not only pack it more easily but also, keep it in place and not have it loose in the oven. Also, remember that once you shut it off, while it is cooling down it is likely to still be...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I'm on day 2 with my Ascent and have mainly been using it to vape micro-loads, using one of the jars to compact and hold in place the load. It gave me a bit of a start this morning though and I thought I would have to experience first hand Karma's customer service, I would push the button to...
