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

    They need to get existing shipments in and new production runs. I suspect they halted production, pending the outcome of customs issue. Patience, and they will be selling again soon... :)

    In comparisons to friends' various units: YES In relation to my 7?8? Year-old GoG vape: it's even better than that. Ah... The future! Yup. But I guess it depends on your pockets. :p Wake -- the smell (or lack thereof) was something I meant to address. I don't feel it is bad in the least...

    Hmmm... Hadn't noticed the whistle in relation to temp on my end, but I'll look for it. Don't think I've tried it that low. :) --------------- The more I play with it, the more I'm convinced this device is all about the airflow. One really needs to give the drawn air chance to heat, and big...

    Looks like you have your own solution, but this is directed to others: If you are hearing a whistle, you are drawing too hard. (Think vapelife will) Also might want to adjust the load for some air resistance/diffusion, but not to path-of-least resistance. Slow and steady wins the race. Sip...

    The first thing my hand feels is a heft. Not heavy per se, but it has a presence in my palm. It seems to fit as the curve of the bowl nestles into my palm. It warms my hand in a comforting way as it comes to temp. The build quality seems to be very solid. I think that lends to the "presence" it...

    Feh... just give me SSH in. Root within a week, and then we can all work on SMS/email notification code. (No on the Skype though... really don't want my unit video calling me and having to stare at how unkempt the bowl currently is.) :)

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

    Yeah... USPS doesn't work like the other shippers. Your tracking info will be *WELLLLLLL* behind the shipment's actual location. You'll probably have it in your hand before it reports "delivered." And, delivery times are... well... If FedEx says "overnight" it is overnight. On the Nose. If...

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

    Guess stuff still hasn't gotten out of "clearing stage" yet? Once they are out of customs hands, the shipping company should get them out fairly quickly to DV. But, two things to note: 1) I don't believe the warehouse and the offices are in the same place, and 2) that some of the parts...

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

    Good point! But also, "moved into clearing" !(necessarily)= "cleared customs". ( or more specifically != "out the door") "Out of...one bad place and" into another place. At this point though, it's all semantics and reading between lines. Until Tomorrow's update... I know DaVinci doesn't want...

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

    People, people -- Have we not learned that the person doing their FB page is NOT the best source of information? Our rep said no *REAL* update and that they would check Monday morning. I agree with @Snappo in that "released" might not mean "out the door" but might mean something else like "a...

    In terms of the clasp's function: @grokit -- That's the "tool". You get two of them (one has a home in the mouthpiece area and the other is a spare). It is useful for removing the lid from the oil-can, or just removing the oil can from the oven (HOT HOT HOT) if you use it with the lid on. It...

    How did you survive such a harrowing event? If it were me, I'd be on a street corner, with a sign that reads "Will work for internet"/ :)

    EDIT: Okay... where the f did all of those extra posts come from? I saw a few on page refresh and replied to one and when I hit submit a ton more from the last few hours magically appeared. I see the exact point I was making was already made so, deleted this post as A) out of date and B) redundant.

    Holy crap!!! I missed this the first few times I read through the posts!! This just got snuck in at the end of a secondary post, and this is what I was looking for in the open letter. Confirmation that the shipment is moving! That's awesome! Of course this tells us nothing about how much...

    Who or what is "they"? If you mean the units, I don't know that we know they've left Ontario yet. If you mean DaVinci, then wrong state. Also, please see post immediately prior to your previous post. 6:21PT > 5:00PT

    @grokit Please see post immediately prior to yours. Also... technically 23:59:59 is *still* today. Plus I don't recall them specifying a time zone. :p

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

    The email is coming later today, so let's just wait until we see what it has to say. But I think Vape is correct about a longer lead time for vendors. I suspect the first two direct pre-sales will be the first out the door.

    A few thoughts: Temperature - I agree with @OF [also testing out this @ tagging thing], but allow me to add that this has been discussed before (the original thread?) with @Hippie Dickie [so what does tagging do with spaces? I'm guessing: "Fail"] chiming in that it just is not an easy thing to...
