    For Cylinders with a fixed r, then yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(geometry)#Other_types_of_cylinders Plus I don't believe the base is a plane. [EDIT: Looking at THR's photos, it *seems* that A) walls are parallel, and B) bottom might be perfectly perpendicular to walls. If...

    Been done. Many times since Feb. No answer. So we find ways to answer on our own... Great idea. I know dreamerr originally made the suggestion about comparing loads, and she has a few devices to compare. In my case, I don't, so I can't really contribute, but.... :popcorn:

    Wax paper idea: APPROVED ;) Now we just need one of our reviewers that has wax paper, table salt, and scale more sensitive than one place past decimal... :P

    Ha! That's awesome about the ammo reloading. :) And like the idea about using a standardizable medium, but might I point out that the Ascent bowl (and others) have holes in the bottom...holes that are larger than salt grains. I myself was planning on using a clay to fill the void, then using...

    Thanks for correction. Maths is hard. :p I get everything you are saying. But people want to know how much the device will hold. (This goes back early in the prev thread.) Unfortunately, people ask a VOLUME question, but they want the answer in WEIGHT. That's why I keep running on about...

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

    Had presumed that she shifted the thread as sales were about to start any second now. But Pak said that he shifted the thread because the review units were out and he wanted their official pronouncement in the final thread. So, sales could still start as early as today, although, with the...

    Remember Dreamerr that he gave the size of a normal stem for him. Everyone can pack a stem differently, but we don't care about "everyone". He said it was <0.1 as his scale doesn't go that far. Say... 0.09 or 0.08 or 0.07... any of these figures x3-4 is in the range of what the other reviewers...

    This is gibberish. As is appropriate for this thread. Please ignore.

    THR -- *GIVEN* that volume != weight, it seems for your dry (no moisture weight), ground (higher density), material that you think you can get 0.3 in the bowl at max capacity. Is this correct? Sticks & SLiM -- [QUESTION REMOVED AS I COMBED THROUGH RESPONSES TO FIND ANSWER]...

    It did get moved a tad early, but we all anticipate moving this thread is an indication that sales are immanently upon us... tick... tick... tick... -------------------- Please follow the link in the post your replied to. :) (And, yes, this is all joking around, but still...)

    If it actually allows setting to 0°F, then you can just toss it in your cooler on a hot day and quickly chill down your sodas and beers. I think this new-fangled thermal unit must be some kind of peltier. :)

    Wait a second here... I can't believe no one else caught this, but I can actually FREEZE my flower in the Ascent?!? Is that for some kind of oil extraction process? :p And how does taking flower below freezing affect battery life? :rofl: EDIT: For the non-US-types, that's -18°C to...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I think all three of you have made it clear that the original issue with smaller was just due to it not being damped down/packed. That being said, how do you damp it? I don't think the pick/tool has a big enough head? A pen? Other household tool? I think I might have a pipe tool that might...

    So, key is to A) Grind, and B) tamp down? THR & Sticks -- You guys grinding and tamping? I know sticks at one point tossed a little nug in there, and seemed to feel it was fine. Comments from you two?

    FWIW, On the cotton issue: http://www.tis-gdv.de/tis_e/ware/fasern/baumwoll/baumwoll.htm#temperatur Ignition is listed as 407°C (765°F if I did the math right). [There is a statement about Autoignition for "oily cotton" at 120°C (248°F), but I suspect that has more to do with uncured...

    As sticks has commented previously, cotton is an established medium, used in plenty of other situations. That being said, like the glass bead idea as a spacer. But I think the cotton also acts as a diffuser of sorts, which presumably forces the air to more evenly distribute. I think sticks...

    Fantastic! Now just to wait for our number to be called up! :) I have updated the page this morning to reflect statements made in this post, so it should be more current (minus anything that got overlooked).

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Yeah, the design of the oil can is much different from what we thought it was. It doesn't sound so much "optimized" as "facilitated." But as I mentioned before, someone (JRR??) took the original oil can and hacked it for improved performance. I think that'll be the same here. I do like what...
