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

    All-- I have some input. The first units have been held. A TLA (three letter agency... NO, NOT *THAT* ONE... More mundane than what you guess. Bureaucracy at its finest) decided it was their pervue and stepped in. From what I've heard, it seems like they are releasing claim. It just had to do...

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

    Well, we've known that it is their own factory in China. But the Ontario customs is new data. (I was guessing elsewhere) Anyone close wanna drive by and make some helpful suggestions? :goon: Do tell! :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

    Ah! They probably mistook them a guidance systems for W M D s. So, not crushed at all!! . Blown up on tarmac instead! [SEE previous post, RE "joke"]

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

    But, Dreamerr is correct: There were supposed to be multiple shipments. If one box gets stopped, that's random. If multiple boxes get stopped (TO BE CLEAR: I don't know that this happened), then usually it is stopped for merit. eg, I've seen footage of Customs taking a steamroller to...

    Vaped -- Thanks for the reply. It is (was?) indeed stuck at US Customs instead of being delivered on Monday as it was supposed to. I have this confirmed. They question is why are people making the claim it is stuck there because of duties (not unpaid shipping)? You obviously didn't say that...

    Where did this statement come from? It was NOT part of Vaped's original comment. There a quite a few reasons why things can get hung up in customs (even down to "'Cause I said so, now go away... it's my donut break.") Customs duty (heh...heh... he said doodie) comments, as far as I can see...

    I dunno what kinda pants *you* wear, but most of mine won't fit glass jars that can fit an Ascent into it... :rofl:

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

    On the first day at least, there was nothing but Stealth units to order. So that might be it. Or... I imagine that, if you got a window to order, that you could, albeit for whatever was available, but no new emails are being sent out until this is resolved.

    Sam -- Beat me to this: I'd be keen to hear on this, as I myself might be interested. :)

    Actually I kinda like the drafts saved. (After loosing a few verrrrrrrrry long responses. However, I'm sure the rest of the thread is thankful I didn't have drafts saved.) :) It seems it is saving drafts on a per thread basis. (and only one at that) So, if you don't want it cached, just delete...

    Moving this to proper thread: Yup. I had already pointed this out previously (post#711), but in this case it was for the sake of the joke. Looks like I needed to add a few more of these: :rofl::lmao::p:rofl::D:lol::p;):rofl: PS: Other people grooving on the site changes? I'm not but maybe...

    I take it you don't do either extraction or a regular ISO bath? [The former seem to be popular with quite a lot of people. The latter, even more so in the midst of people that focus on the word "glass." I'm just inferring from all of the reading I have done here...] [EDIT: waiting to hear...

    Ha!! For the record, that was more about "a character from childhood--swearing" than anything else. I guess I could have said "Captain Haddock" as well. (With a should-out to my Hergé friends! [Holla!!]) EDIT: But you [DREAMERR] are right... for as chill and level-headed as paka is...

    I was laughing my ass off when I saw that 'cause I figured it was you and got a sudden visual of you hunched over your keyboard, illuminated only by the display, muttering swears under your breath a la... uh...

    [EDIT: I believe, quite some time ago, possibly in the other-other thread, that she said would not open pre-sales "until the units were in the air." (That's not a direct quote, but be paraphrasing from memory.) So the intent was always to start the pre-sale once the units were in transit. I...

    THanks for the reminder. That and a few other comments make me think this in indeed the case. (I think that's why there were only stealth the first day as that was what they were supposed to get today.) As I indicated before, the checks are (usually) just random, and the shipment for tomorrows...
