It's not labeled the "volt" it was a $10 upgrade when I bought the Lotus - it's actually an "Honest" brand torch. But yes, it sputters out - I can usually tell when it's about to sputter out because of the sound. It has something to do with the resistance (or air to fuel mixture ratio) whatever...

Indeed, I think it's because the ZB-529 has a switch to toggle between flame, and torch. Nice feature, and a nice torch overall, but sadly, I won't use it because it's blackening my cap, and the heatup times were extremely slow! I think the Volt (or Honest) torches are hit or miss - some people...

Good luck getting them to ship a replacement. They'll probably ask you to ship it back to them before they send you a replacement. I'd say just accept the cheap price, and use it until it becomes a problem

The WPA is a bit on the small side, I typically use one scoop per load (need a more precise scale to measure the weight - does anyone know the average weight per scoop?) I average 3 or 4 hits per load, unless I want to milk my glass for several seconds non-stop, then I can finish the load in 1...

From what I understand, the HA has a huge chamber - enough for like 7 grams?? Is it possible to get the same extraction if I'm using it solo and tossing in a single bud, maybe 0.2g? Or do I need to cram them down? Also does the HA require the use of the pump at all times, or can I hit it like a...

I have purchased 4 torches for use with my Lotus. The Sleek Honest, a Zico (The one listed above), a Jobon trigger-style torch (ZB-529) and a Jobon "premium torch". My sleek honest torch (video posted above, listed as the vector volt) does the job, but sputters out. I spent a long time looking...

Nice! Happy to see some suggestions that won't break the bank! I'm sure my wife would kill me if she knew I was spending MORE on vapes and glass, but she doesn't understand - I was spending that money on buying more herb when I was combusting! Keep those suggestions coming! I'm still not ready...

Hey All! The VAS is going strong (Purchased 2 vapes and numerous glass accessories over the past 3 months!). I'm not ready to buy a vape just yet, but starting to do research and this question has been nagging me for some time. We all know grinding herb releases a lot of the trichromes/kief...

Lol, I enjoyed reading through this thread, seeing where everyone started. Having no friends that used vapes, I think I first tried to make my own vape using a lightbulb with minimal results (got a 'taste' but that's about it, no effects). I then opted to buy a "Cheap" vape from my LHS out of...

Yikes, that sucks! Gotta say, that's the first time I've seen anyone report an issue like this with the OLED. I would honestly give Davinci a call. Explain the problem. I doubt they will repair your Ascent, they will most likely ship you a new unit

Good to know it's not just me! I also suggested yesterday in an email to Steve at MT the same thing - cardboard instead of bubblewrap to protect the spare plates! Don't worry, your bent plate will still function just fine once installed. But for how long? Time will tell I would suggest not...

True, they all appear to be minimal, however they are large enough to allow superheated air to enter the Lotus, causing an uneven heat distribution, and change the heating dynamics of the vaping process. I believe i've had the crack for over a week or two, and has caused combustion with several...

Absolutely. Don't let this plate issue stop you from buying one. Even with the crack, my Lotus still worked, it just got a LOT hotter faster, and easier to combust - but I worked around it. I have pictures of the inside, but won't post them publicly for any 'copycats' to steal. I only replaced...

Just heard back from MT - Sounds like they're working on redesigning the plate currently

I didn't have to. First off, hearing a pop is fine occasionally is fine (I think). Do you hear a "crinkle" sound (kinda like crushing a soda can) when you apply heat every time? I did - thought it was normal as I hadn't paid too much attention to the sounds when heating up previously. I had...

I ordered my "small" SCS from Amazon Prime, even came with a pollen press (which I'll probably rarely ever use ha ha). Kinda wish I had bought the mini SCS!

Lol, dude, you don't need to read 231 pages, but at LEAST read the past 2 pages - your question about packing has been discussed extensively by @KeroZen within the past 24 hours...... The Ascent uses Conduction heating as the primary method. I'm assuming it's considered convection heating...

I noticed my Lotus has been heating slower, and the heat is more evenly distributed once I replaced the plate. The crack allowed the Lotus to heat faster than it should (and possibly intake some of that butane through the crack?). I get 4 draws, where I would previously get 2. Using similar...

Omf, this isn't looking too good! What happened to my luck! I bought an Ascent, hoping they had fixed the issues, it died after 1 month. I bought the Lotus as a replacement because it's a simple device with very few parts that can break. Now the Lotus plate cracked after 43 days of use (though...

I bought a DV Ascent several months back, it too converted me to vaping (not combusting anymore!) But it broke after 1 month of use!!! After this fiasco, I decided I had to buy a stupid simple vape as a backup. My search led me to the Lotus. The lotus is a very simple device, but almost TOO...
