    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Pakalolo -- Uh... neener, neener, neener? :p ;) That's really great and exciting! Wish list: 1) Pre-sale? 2) Special Pre-sale Price? In terms of the contest, don't have a suggestion as to how to run it, but do have some ideas on who should win: A) myself, or B) a knowledgeable user that...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Well, as they have said, convection is benefitted from increased airflow (so don't over pack). So there is a thing as "too much" on the other end. Is there a reason why you think a smaller amount might be an issue? I don't see it, but then again, I have an admittedly limited device exposure...

    Awesome!! Thanks! I had thought of doing that very thing, as it seems some questions are being re-asked, but just hadn't gotten around to it. Thanks for doing this and for saving me the effort. ;)

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Independent of the veracity of those claims, I believe the rep said it was glass-lined ceramic bowl, so at least from the plant material forward, all glass. I am unclear as to the airpath *prior* to the bowl/plant material, though. The device is predominantly a convection device so the air...

    Ah, but that presumes facts not in evidence: Mainly that it was a calculation rather than an oversight. ;) Judging from the litany of things that we will get "in just a few days" I'm inclined to to speculate that an over-worked rep in the run-up to product launch is the explanation that...

    Not bursting my bubble at all, as I, or presumably anyone that possesses faculties sufficient enough to cloth themselves and not make messes in the house, realize that the FB audience is significantly larger. But I guess the level of sophistication to realize that also implies one recognize...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Yup, yup and yup! I'm hoping that they do a pre-sale price, like they did for the last one. I'm all over that. Uh.... why is facebook getting the info before we are? :(

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    March has been mentioned several different times, including the mica posting in the other thread, the video, etc. Of course, that is *if* everything goes according to plan. However, in this thread the rep has not specifically stated a date/month/whatever, specifically as they don't want to...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    This is speculation, but as the unit is supposedly mostly convection, it shouldn't matter too much if the material is at the bottom of the bowl or at the top of the bowl on the screen. And if the bowl is packed, then there's no difference (as nothing can shift if it is full). Only...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I believe that is out of date info. They have stated in this thread that there was an issue with the wood drying and cracking. They said they had to resort to a printed texture. (Unless they solved the problem). The did say croc skin, and some people objected (and others said they didn't...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    IIRC, they said they didn't want to announce preorders until they were absolutely sure of release date. For the last device it looks like they took pre-orders, then made some last minute changes to the device, and people got upset the date slipped. So, I think that is what they are avoiding...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Talk of the device looking like an old pager, a phaser, etc, etc... If you pull the stem out and use it in public, won't innocent by-standers at a distance wonder why that strange person is breathalizing themselves? ;)

    Link? Sooooo.... "second week in feb" translates into "Sometime in March"? :)

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Now those playing along at home: *a* Friday was mentioned, just not specifically the closest Friday [even though the lack of specificity, one can argue, directly implies the immediate one--otherwise the post would have included a modifier]. :P (Bustin' chops again.)

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I think the video has already been listed here, although not by DV but by someone that found it on YouTube. DV did comment that it was the (unfinished) version of what they wanted to publish here. So, it has already been published here, although not officially, and not finished. But, with...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I'm surprised no one else comment on this, and I waited a few days to see if anyone would weight in. So either no one else noticed this, or I am just entirely off base and imagining things. Wasn't the insulator in the previous device Mica? This (or natural impurities in the material) were...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    They said March in another thread, and the previous device had a March 1 launch date originally, so I suspect that might be the original target, or the *earliest* we will see something. That being said, they've been clear that they won't ship until they feel they got it 100%, and they won't...

    According to the contest, you get: 1. DaVinci Vaporizer of your choice 2. Accessory Pack 3. Ascent Vaporizer Upon Release. I'd pay special attention to #1. Note the original model was NOT specified, but YOUR choice within the brand clearly is. *Technically* The Ascent is an Organicix...
