    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    A see through unit??? (Or at least the center?) That's pretty cool. Can't wait to see it! That's great! Good luck at the show!

    Congrats! Did you get the grand prize? Wait... that means you have two original DVs and eventually an Ascent. I hate you. :P

    Called it. ;) Called it. ;) Cool! Sounds like there might a deluxe replacement grill! I don't think anyone said they *hated* the existing grill, but that's cool people can customize that if they want. Ah, so there is no complex airpath to maximize the length of the airpath to heat...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    All we have had is speculation as to two possible arrangements. We don't know if either is true, or if there is another option we haven't thought of. (And it could very well be: Silicon sheath (breakage), glass outer shell, silicone gasket (coupling), and glass straw. This would keep it GonG...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I'll second (or third) that vote. What I was getting at a second ago, was that it is better to get one into the hands of someone that will give a well-informed review. But this contest was more about getting the word out to a wider audience prior to release to generate buzz, than to get a...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    At least on the DV it wound up in the hands of a forum member (at least the first give away) that did a pretty decent review(s). I vow to, if I win, try to be as though and payback this community with a, if not as experienced voice, at least an in-depth and full review. Least I could do for...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I was kinda keeping mum about the contest to increase my odds ;), but then it was announced in the other forum and entries skyrocketed (9405 total). So, although the entries are closed, they aren't announcing a winner until essentially Wed. EDIT: Oh, yeah, add my voice to the ranks pleading...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Awesome! Now what happened to ascent-3-black.jpg & ascent-6-black.jpg? ;) Realize you are probably got your hands tied with the video, but, when you get a chance, I had requested take-apart photos of the device, just to further understand the airpath. I see now why the ceramic, glass lined...

    EDIT: I found the original statement from the company, and retract my previous point. This. It *IS* Friday...

    Uh... "convection"? Or are you referencing something more specific to "enclosed object" that speaks to flow? Curious... So little glass oil cans, then? ;)

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    I'm a n00b here, but since when has an absence of information ever prevented someone from proffering an opinion on the internet? ;) I'm guessing $250, with a pre-sale of $200. [DaVinci: HINT, HINT!] If it's at that point, I'd probably buy it right away. [Oh, look! More market data.] If it...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Yeah, yeah, No worries. Think i've allowed for date slippage in any comment I made regarding dates. And it's even more acceptable as it means that you guys are just making the product better. Ah, so there will be pre-orders then. Hopefully there is a discount in play like last time.

    Pix Requests: 1. CLose up of screen. 2. You say the whole things comes apart for cleaning. <- This. So, I'm guessing the dual mouth piece is the bottom on the photo posted. That means that you put the bottom of it to your mouth, which at first seems weird, but that means the screen is...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    In the YouTube video from pre-product release (Feb. 7th, 2012) Lance says they are taking pre-orders at US$199. I wonder if people that pre-ordered got to keep that price point. In terms of "spring" I do note that in the Mica response to the off-gassing concerns, that they specifically...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Dreamerr -- Thanks for the comments. I was thinking the existing Da Vinci was MSRP at 200 so, the ascent would be well above that. But that's just my speculation. In terms of the other manufacturers, I did think shortly after posting that I was replying to a vary narrow selection of...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    Sorry, if this is long and rambling for my first post, but I'm kinda excited to pick up a new toy, and it seems like this could be a really cool device. The TL;DR-- 1. Ascent - Expected MSRP? 2. Ascent - Any clearer definition of "spring"? (I'm guessing not at this point). 3. Thank you, Da...
