    Ha! Good one.

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Who said anything about DaVinici? For all we know, some retailers might get a sample "Not For Resale" unit for demo purposes, that they are giving away. And, if you read the thread, we are getting units before others, so "the masses" most likely means "once the distribution channels are...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Always a risk you take. But the company seems to really be trying to produce a quality product. And in the case of the previous device, they took care of their customers when there were issues (provided it was brought to their attention). So you're PROBABLY okay. Like their previous product...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    This has been mentioned many times in this thread, but DaVinci does NOT want to pre-order until they can 100% say that units will go out the door without any delays. Right now, we are looking at potentially May 1st, but that is subject to possibly change. Anyone can take a pre-order for you...

    Stu -- I don't believe we heard any more on this, so when I put this in my long post about all of the Ascent facts, I quoted DaVinci, but believe I put (unverified next to the size).

    You. Me. And about 800 other people. ;) I don't think this has been addressed directly (smaller loads is a desire of mine also), but I think something was suggested that it wouldn't be an issue.

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I know it is in the list of all the features the Rep said that I put together here. (I can find that post easier than the original.) She mentioned that they had toyed with the idea of something like a completely visible airparth that was kinda steam punky, but they are sticking with the 3 to...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Hmmm... according to the rep "the black one is simply matte black aluminum." But their site lists it as "Coming Soon! - Ascent Vaporizer (Black) The Ascent by Davinci Vaporizer (Carbon)" with this picture: My guess is that the rep has the most current information, and that they perhaps...

    Ha! Once again Onion Talks are more spot-on than TED Talks. :):) [EDIT: Commentary on the bogus review and the tweet. *NOT* DaVinci!]

    Tweek -- I believe the correct term is "abducted". :P Oh, that's a nice idea for something portable. Of course, you'd have to stop and fill it and then dump it after every session. Unless you like soggy pockets...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    The device should be out soon. I've quoted the post where the rep said a few more weeks. They also said the first are being sold by them. May 1st will be the time the distributions channels will be full. Retail locations should have theirs by then, although I'll suggest that it will be sooner...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    *A* preregistration page. But they didn't tell us about *THAT* preregistration page. ;) Only reason I bring this up is the "First 100 people" thing (we were told "offer you all a free Gog adapter" and "then I'll send all registrants a promo code to get the adapter with purchase" ), which...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Well, the rep *did* say something about a special code for FC, and that we would get first notice about that program, so that pre-reg page might have been not for us. But by now I'll presume we have flooded the first 100 positions. ;) I hadn't seen an email reply, so obviously it isn't...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I love you, man. :) Look, 65% of this thread is speculation about a product THAT DOESN'T YET EXIST. 30% is people asking already addressed questions. 5% is actual info from the rep. (And that last number might be high.) Although it *is* information about another device, it...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Bluemonkey has already posted the manufacture's statement. But I don't think they don't want us to replace the battery, it's just that for liability reasons they can't offer it as a feature. That means removing a bullet point from the box it comes in, not locking the device down like Fort...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    No worries, mate. I also figured, with the product release being "soon" that this thread is most likely to have a lot of fresh faces, asking the same questions that have been asked many times, so all of the info in one place might save some of that. ("An act of sheerest optimism to have posed...

    No one in the general public has it. It hasn't started shipping yet.

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I went searching for a few facts, and wound up going through the whole thread again. Since I was doing that, I thought I'd just summarize everything I found. Bluemonkey made a similar list on Page 29, but I found some stuff that was missed there, and of course there is newer info that wasn't...

    Well, the shipping weight is 1 pound, and that includes the box, charger, accessories, etc. EDIT (Found the following speculation and statement) ------------------- SECOND EDIT (to avoid back-to-back posts) ========================== Problem Solved:
