    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    In reverse order, thanks for your kind offer. But I think it should go to a 'fresh tester', I've already tested lots of glass things in there...... By way of shipping I'm a fan of first class mail for such things (no trip to the PO.....). I'd cut a small square (say 2 or 3 inches) of...

    What the Q man just said. 12 VDC at one Amp (or more) is fine no matter where it comes from provided the connector is right. Solo uses a standard but not common connector. If you're at all handy cutting the cord off the dead one and splicing together is worth considering. When I got my first...

    Yeah, me too. Cauldrons inspire thoughts of great iron pots with wood fire licking up the sides and old ladies with black road cones on their heads and brooms and stuff. Fun, but different than VM I'm thinking. Or maybe it was a prototype? An VM lore is short on magic chants. AFAIK the only...

    Neat sounding word for sure, but technically inaccurate. It's simply not a crucible by the conventional definition: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/crucible http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crucible http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/crucible...

    While I guess you personally can call it whatever you wish, traditionally we let inventors name their inventions? For the sake of clear communication I suggest we abide by the 'official name' from the maker. Generally a ceramic vessel heated to very high temperatures in order to cause a...

    Yes, it's normal. You can see it here in the photo I posed a few days back: The material comes in sheets, which are 'cleaved' from blocks of the mineral, much like slate shingles. The maker then prints his name and other details on the sheets (usually). Lower grades, like you'd find in a...

    I think a shrine is in order. Or maybe just distributed small alters? OF

    Understood, you can sure get carried away with it if you're that sort. OTOH, lots of guys swear by it which to me means it's pretty subjective and subject to individual differences? Looked at from an objective POV the condensate is simply vapor that condensed. Nothing chemical happened...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I think we all are. They say in that way 'she is blessed above all others'. I've no way of knowing for sure, but that's what I hear.......and it makes sense. Do you wonder if this will become a cult thing, with the obvious High Priestess? I do...... OF

    The Arizer Air

    It's my preference in non GonG PVHESs. I take care of the 'shorty' part with domed screen and don't find the restriction of 'non turbo' to be a problem at all. It's very easy to strip the vapor as fast as it forms (maximum density) which is really all you can do with a stem (you can't really...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Absent damage or heavy fouling this is perfectly normal. All boxes 'cool off' some early on. My take is the oxide layer (darkening) slows the heat transfer, or perhaps thinning of the wires a bit? In any case it stabilizes and you should get long service from it. Upping the drive (either...

    Only the right answer to that can save your job in Berkeley....."Vapepersons"....... 'Vapman' is incorrect, it should be "Vapeperson" making the plural easy? You're obviously not taking this 'gender neutral thing' seriously enough. We have a sensitivity class to send you to........ True...

    The Arizer Air

    Glad you're liking them. To answer your question, yes I definitely like them 'dome up'......and think I'm an 'anyone'. More over, I'd bet way more of us go dome up (and have for some time). Some with tall domes to limit volume (and put more herb closer to the heat percentage wise), some with...

    Good tip! IIRC not all remover is Acetone based and that which is typically has perfume to cover the smell and other ingredients like lanolin (to protect skin). Lanolin is sometimes called 'wool wax' as it's washed off freshly shorn wool (at a cup or two per sheep). USDA Lanolin contains, for...

    Yep. Air has half the battery so it pushes it twice as hard. The results (in terms of heating the same stem) are basically the same. No magic, it only gets half the sessions, or a bit less by way of penalty for pushing harder. Say four against 8 sessions, basically half, but the Air is also...

    Suddenly we have more options to fine tune the Ascent to suit us individually. How cool is that? OF

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Currently being Beta tested by a group of volunteers (who responded to DVs call for volunteers here a couple months back). Not yet available outside that group. Depending on the testing, they may release them as is, or tweak to tooling (at least one guy reports his didn't fit). In the mean...

    The Arizer Air

    Where to start...... First off, the smaller one doesn't spill. You can put it back in the case with water in it, move it around and no leaks. Cool. I don't invert to take it on and off, although you could. Forgetting is not a certain disaster.....and I've tried. The larger one also works...

    I agree, like I said above the only thing you absolutely need to know is 'flashing or not' near as I can tell, which is why I'm not rushing into it. Remember, there is no real orange typically. Only red, blue and green. Adding the green to red to make orange doesn't do me any good (they...
