There is a croc unit. One theory I had was that groups of units went out to different finishes. Could very well still be true if were split across finish groups as one completed and the next started, but reserving thought for time being...

On the issue of "off gassing" -- I now have a second unit to test. I've solicited a friend here, and he is making sure I am testing right. I posted earlier, in response to @thesoloman, that I saw the unexplained wisps in his video and I tried to replicate what he did. Try as I might, I could...

Oh... girl.. Do NOT make me tell you to read a thread! :) :) :) Yeah, I mentioned it. @Quetzalcoatl mentioned it. Different insulation. =========== Back to back post ============ HAHAHA! That's my *second* favorite blunder, after the upside down logo, of course! Yes. Yes, it is. That's...

Yes. I mentioned this in my post. PS: I thought the Pinto was the Ford Exploder. :rofl:

DAMMIT, OF!!! I had a whole bit in the write-up I was working on about the issue with the old units. I've been thinking about it all day. You stole my thunder! :p But, there are a lot of analogous points: Some people saw it, some people didn't Rampant speculation The coating on the heating...

We covered this earlier (today? Yesterday?), but perhaps you weren't around? The OLED screens were getting scratched to heck in assembly. (And for a few users, they still might be.) To combat this a film and/or a coating were used to protect the screens. What's happening is a separation of...

I think that is the film issue.

Cool! Could I perhaps ask you to make a little table of all the measurements, for a given set temp on the Ascent? I don't have my IR therm, so I'll have to depend on others' readings. I'd like very much to see what @sam reynolds 's reading are. But, also, I'm keen to see what temps the people...

Thanks! I'm sorry: Reading what? The exterior? The interior of the bowl? PS: I've now done a few more tests, as per your suggestions, but still working on the write-up. :)

Can you clarify here? There are actually two separate issues with the screen: One is the film or coating separating that a lot of people seem to have. The other is actual physical scratches. The film issue may look like scratches, but it is not. I've now seen units with the film issue. I'm not...

Sam -- Do you have access to a IR thermometer? (Maybe a friend?) Of course I don't know about your situation, and can only guess, but my slightly-edumacated guess it that yours is indeed overheating (ie, thermal sensor in wrong place) so that when it thinks it is 390°F, it is actually higher...

I will do again later today, after errands and such. But you'd think that there isn't some "magical angle" for the light. Sure, there is an *optimal* angle, but from what I saw from your video, I think I should have been able to see SOMETHING as I moved the two lights (both bright and dim to...

Thanks for the review/comparison! A lot of people will appreciate the PAX contrasts. I too, did the ABV + extreme pack last night. Prior to this, I've been doing a medium pack on flower with a slow draw and quite enjoying the effects. But then again, I was looking for effect as primary and then...

Heh... yeah your unit is not right. But you aren't a true Ascent user (as @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd can attest) until you have pulled the bone-head maneuver of burning yourself, in a failed attempt to tamp... not once, as that is a "gimme", but repeatedly. In the future, I expect that is how Ascent...

@Pappy Here's how to test your unit: 1. Bring unit up to (what it thinks is) temp. [You might want to use some ABV so it's not running empty] 2. Run for at least a few minutes, as if a session. 3. Open bowl, and stir a bit. 4. Tamp down with pinky. You can tell it is working if you follow up...

If you were in my area code, I'd GLADLY drive over a unit, just to share on what you are missing out on. :)

Again with the airflow. If one can slow the air down, either by packing, slow draw, or both, then the unit really works well. slow & steady. Pappy -- Something is NOT right. I'm thinking your "lemon" statement is right on point. Can you feel the base getting hot? Can you hear air leaking in...

@thesoloman I. Was. Making. A. Joke.

HA!!! I was just thinking that, out of all of the "issues" and cosmetic errors that are being found, none of the original three reviewers found anything of the like (IIRC). And they've had MONTHS now. In fact, I don't believe any of the issues were a problem with yesterday's batch of new...

Pappy (and others wondering about vapor "evidence") -- Were you following the original thread back in about May-ish? SLiM posted some videos that IIRC showed some good production. I See someone also posted THR's video. I've had great results, but have no video as "proof." But as I've been...
