    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    1. All glass == easy to clean. The two glass stems are removable. [READ: ISO-soak if that is your thang.] The only "issue" is the glass-lined ceramic bowl, which is not an issue as it is glass-lined, but because it isn't removable. (nothing a q-tip and a little work won't clean) 2. The...

    thanks everyone! Your data will be added tomorrow. :) Thanks! But I got this. I also have a [larger scope than just this project] local database that all of the figures go into. I'm trying to ensure data is consistent across both the page and the database so more interesting stuff can be done...

    Bowl size... taken with a grain of salt...

    I figured the MFLB would be one of the difficult ones. :) NaCl's boiling point is ~2,500°F, so I'd think almost nothing. Was requesting measuring clean stems, just so whatever buildup doesn't interfere with the measurement.

    Just for the record, quite a few people didn't figure that out right away. :doh: [In my defense, I didn't have anything more than a photo to play with. :P ] But even THR didn't get it at first. So, I'm not going to fault any reviewer either. ;) [Plus, TorontoV gets bonus point for using...

    I'll note that your MFLB is a bit bigger than the other measurement, but that's why I'm glad to have multiple data points: Averages. :) Heh... and I made a category for non-bowls because of you. ;) There's only 1 size of Jyarz, right? Hmmm... you might have convinced me to pick one up.

    Yup. Went out to email. Basically, they have taken information from what our people and other reviewers have said, and saw an opportunity to improve the product a bit more before release. I don't think any of us can fault them for trying to make the product as close to perfect as they can. :)

    Why? Because people ask for that info. It's just a "gut-check" item for most people looking into a new device. [Plus, it's kinda fun collecting the data and comparing. :) ] Yup, it has nothing to do with performance or optimal anything. Yup, different users use their devices in different...

    I agree with you completely, and will add more in that "optimal" is subjective and will vary as much as there are different users and different uses. That being said, this was *NEVER* an attempt to judge optimal loads. As I point out, that is entirely subjective, and there is no one true...

    I'll make you a deal: You fill it 10 times. Dump them all on the same tared scale, and measure them. Tell me the number. I'll do the math for you. :P :) ;) One of the reasons we used common table salt, is that it has a (relatively) constant density and a (relatively) common pack. [Actually...

    [EDIT: Pak -- Just noticed the underline. By "normal fill level" OF meant "level fill". I presumed that was clear, but thank you for catching this.] --- We specify a "level fill". This means "to the brim, and leveled off with a straight-dege". We don't care what one's "normal fill" is, as, we...

    Bowl size... taken with a grain of salt...

    :) Yes. Table salt. Obviously sea salt, has larger structures, so that adversely affects the evenness of the pack. I don't know if there is a difference between commercial table salts themselves, and suspect that they are at least reasonably uniform across brands, but perhaps we should...

    Damn, you are fast. Was it a clean oven? I've already jotted down your reply, and will keep collecting until I have enough to publish. Thanks! EDIT: From now on, I'll "LIKE" the post to indicate that I got your info. No need to reply to everyone, but I wanted to acknowledge francis for his...

    A couple of us have been discussing a way to compare the size of a load in various vapes. We're thinking of having FC members measure how big the loads are in their favorite vapes by weighing and reporting how much table salt they will hold. EDIT (partially moved from below to here): From...

    This is the video that TheHerbalReview (link goes to post) posted here back on the 9th. Also, it is mentioned in JoeKickAss' excellent collection of FC reviewer's comments/pictures/videos, found on page one of this thread:

    Programable motion timer. As was stated previously, the device can detect motion, or the lack thereof, and shut itself off after a while. So, you have a session that is quite good, set the device down while forgetting you even left it on, and it shuts itself down. IF it is still be handled...

    Sounds like reviewer spent a bit of time on the product before turning the camera on. Appreciated. :) Still waiting for our guys, but this is good to bridge the gap while we wait.

    No annoyance. :) I know there are two, and they are most likely Panasonic IMR Hybrid High Drain 18650 2250mAH Li-Ion batteries. But thee is "most likely" and "confirmed", and you know I prefer the latter. :) No science was harmed in the making of this post. :) Look forward to the pix...

    They do?? Did you ask about that when you got to test drive the unit? The only thing I've seen on the Ascent batt was user speculation and DV saying "sounds like that might be right", which I do NOT take as solid confirmation. So, if you have confirmation, please let us know! Point...
