    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Wow. A medical mark post I had no trouble reading. (But no change in difficulty understanding.) :p :rofl: [EDIT: Looks like mark went back and added more than the 7 words total to his post, so the joke looses a bit there.]

    Great. I'd started Whistle-gate. :P Our reviewers have chimed in that it is most likely an overly aggressive draw through the holes in the grill to the bowl (there is a minor path in there for which it has been mentioned that some of the heating occurs).

    Not worth that discussion. Suffice it to say, that I feel our reviewers will take the time and the thought that is best served to this audience. Those other reviewers... the ones hunting for social media juice.... I'd rather wait to hear opinions that actually bother to be informed...

    I think we all understand this. That's why the others that have been rushing for quick YouTube view-count have been not worthy of beyond the cursory view. But, at the same time, that will not stop us from gleaning every little bit of data off of your provided empirical data. :P

    Nope: Not "no doubt." Presumes facts not in evidence. Actually... nothing but "doubt." Please see SLiM's comments before. Pulling the glass stems OUTSIDE of their operational environment to evaluate performance proves nothing (other that a weak understanding -- at best -- of the...

    :horse::horse::horse::horse::horse: If you can bother to post a question, you can bother to read a thread first to see that A) not only has this been beaten to death, but B) they mods have already deleted comments and told people not to post this. Seriously, please learn to read a...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Thank you. I do not own one of the other popular portable units that users claim requires constant cleaning. As I do not own one, I can only infer that it is more of usability issue on that device. On the Ascent, as you indicate, the biggest detriment is to flavor, not usability. That is good...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    SLiM -- Just to be clear: NOT asking how easy it is to clean. (Although, thank you for that information. I think that confirms what we anticipated.) Rather, was asking if it NEEDED to be cleaned. And what I hear you saying is that flavor is most likely adversely affected by ~48hr use. Please...

    Dreamerr has already noted the one mention of cleaning. Now here is a second. Can you give us an idea of how the airpath is holding up after X uses? {perhaps a pic of how much cleaning it requires?)

    In thread. In thread. In thread. Not specifically in thread, but indirect information is. Vids in thread. Reading is fundamental.

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Yup. Was trying to suggest that previously. And I don't think our three people have that all 100% figured out yet either... YET. :) But at least you guys are trying. Thank you. THR reported one just a few minutes ago but indicated it was only present for the first few uses. I'm going...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    As, I was suggesting Firday night, and our reviewers have been experimenting on all weekend, there are, just like any other vape, optimal usage. The concern about the airpath doesn't mean squat if it isn't in the actual usage environment. Has nothing to with play if there is no addition...

    Okay... couldn't walk away from the keyboard if there was a new video that is in wont of viewing. The wood looks really nice. Honestly, I was immediately turned off when the new burl first showed up. But it looks great in the video. How does he know the temperature is not accurate? How has...

    Wow! 160+ posts (not counting whatever was deleted) to catch up on... Y'all haz been some busy vapers. :) THR, SLiM, Sticks -- Thank you all for all of your ongoing input. I'm glad I have all of this new data to mill over. And I look forward to your reflections as your experience base...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Just catching up to thread after busy weekend... Oh shit, dude! Thanks for your very kind thoughts (and suggesting I have provided value enough to merit this). :cheers: I would review the shit out of the vape. Only problem is I don't have the experience the our people that do have the...

    It is very difficult to have 100% either... unless, some of us are vaping.... in zero-G.... in a perfect vacuum. At this point, I do not believe that to be true. :P So, we are left with a situation in which both are present, but in ratios that are open to debate. We can agree that exposed...

    Thank you, gent, for producing the videos that this thread has been clamoring for for 5+ months. Much appreciated and we all look forward to your input over the coming days!

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I am amused at a review where the reviewer has looks at parts and says things like "I have no idea what for" (2:35) and "I wonder how it opens" (2:53). :) Nothing like getting a complete set of fresh eyes on the product, uninfluenced by any of the videos, promotional items, photos, thread...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I know one of our reviewers is in the Midwest. Not sure about the rest. But I'm gonna guess we'll have to wait until "after work" for a more detailed eval. I do know that Herbal said producing a quality video is like a 5 hour process. So later on tonight.... EDIT: and honestly it is going...
