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

    This seems like the right time to send mine back for exchange. I had established an RMA awhile back, but held onto it because it worked great. Still does....well did. Hey @Davinci_vaporizer, RMA #37 wouldn't be too upset if one of the first units that go out goes to him....FedEx says you'll...

    :tup: I did a few days ago when you first posted it....I've been cruisin' along with cotton, but this would be a great alternative. Thanks man!

    Yeah, your right. :rolleyes: It's disgraceful how they did a major mea culpa and admitted that they had production issues, immediately stopped delivering more defective units, openly admitted what went wrong, promised all a replacement and/or money back, kept us in the loop with what they are...

    I think the issue boils down to the unexpected QC problems and the fact that they stopped shipping anymore inventory to anyone. I'm pretty sure if there were no issues that you would already have yours in hand.

    Mine also. It works great. I just got my replacement u type wt (1st arrived broken) and have been using it with a bubbler. Superb. Great clouds, smooth and the taste is amazing. And being able to watch the vape move thru the wt really teaches you how to take the right draw from the Ascent.

    Thanks for the update DV. I look forward to being able to swap mine out. In case anyone else looked at it on Artfire, the Oregon glass blowers water whip to vaporizer 14mm adapter glass is too thick to let the Ascent glass screen fit inside the 9.5mm outside diameter tube. Too bad because the...

    Very nice with the carbon fiber skin. Now these would be a nice accessory.....skins. Too bad QC issues put a damper on the release of this. And I know I'm personally harping on the OLED screen thing, but everyone that looks this over turns and say's 'what's wrong with the screen'. I remember...

    I cant take credit for the idea, it was given by another FC member in this thread earlier, but it works and quite well.

    Tried a glass bead, which worked, and also tried and ruined a diamond tip dremel bit and one glass jar trying to drill some holes to use that as a spacer....then I wandered over to my nearest Drugstore and got some organic cotton. I can wad that for any size bowl i wish to make. Easiest and...

    Davinci by Karma

    Can't answer whether or not they had a policy change, but I do know that Rakuten and Amazon both use numerous sales affiliates. If I go to Rakuten web site I see 6 vendors that have the DV for sale, established places like Vaporganics, Wise Guy Vapes and the venerable Vaporizer King :o. I've...

    Davinci by Karma

    I also bought mine third party...actually on eBay at a greatly reduced price. So much so that I went to DaVinci's website and realized if I purchased and it went kaputzky, I was on my own. The eBay vendor said the same crapola how it was warranty covered and such....I knew better. The low price...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I postponed my RMA for a swap after a phone call to Davinci. As I stated earlier my only remaining issue was with the screen. After talking to them, they are unaware if new shipments will come with the screen deficiencies or not. They did promise, and in writing, that if new batches arrive free...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    My take on it is that it was designed that way and has been like that thru all the months of testing and never presented itself as an issue. The issues were dealing with now are QC problems and apparently some silicon material sourcing.

    I have no scratches on the surface. The 'defect'/issue is clearly on the bottom side. I have an original DV with a display screen, and while smaller, looks of similar material and is flawless.

    They did. But the issue is not on the exposed surface....rather it appears to be on the mounted surface. I was hoping that this wasn't going to be considered a feature vs correctable manufacturing glitch.
