    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Well, actually yes I've got a couple now that you ask. Currently (sorry, you don't get many straight lines and it's an old pun......) I'm using a modified version of the unit I'm testing for Solo (same issues). It's using one of the old prototypes from that, in fact, with a step down regulator...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Understood, it's a tool, you use it when needed. Perhaps not recharging it every time, say wait until it gets down to 1/2 or even 1/4 on the 'meter'? Most of the damage to the battery (if you avoid deep discharges) happens at full voltage. By draining it down more you get 'free sessions' WRT...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Sounds good to me. Remember, conductivity is only one factor of interest, specific heat is also very important as is surface area. To some extent we can make up for poor conductivity by making more surface and using thinner sections so the heat has less distance to move. The goal, I think, is...

    Discontinued Thermovape Luna

    Again, I think you'll find that alumina abrasives are ground and sieved to size (the numbers you get on sandpaper and grindstones, "mesh size") then are bonded together with an agent, traditionally Phenol Resin. The only materials that can be 'fused under heat' the way ceramics sometimes are is...

    Discontinued Thermovape Luna

    While it might appear similar, chemically it's an entirely different thing than the porous ceramic used in Cera and other TV products. It's basically a grindstone made of abrasive particles glued together with resin binder. Like a cut off saw blade, but without the fibers. The Alumina part is...

    Arizer Solo

    Very well put. Draw resistance is a very subjective measure. What's fine to me might well be impossible for you. If the device is designed to work within what you want/expect, all is well and good. The maker is sure to have tested more and less resistance and decided on a compromise that...

    Arizer Solo

    That sorta works, but the timing gets goofed up every page break. Rather I think CK's suggestion of backing off a couple dozen pages and reading forward is the better call. If you like it (or don't find what you like, try another 25 page 'bite'? Fun reading in there. Lots of repeats, but...

    Arizer Solo

    If you've been reading closely you should have noticed there's also a fair number of us who don't find advantage in more flow. First off, the flow is more restricted before the seal gets broken in, many new owners panic and buy high flow stems and never look back so they miss the change. Many...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Sure sounds to me like two separate problems, since the box works somewhat on batteries. You're on the right track with contacting MF. The usual procedure seems to be after getting instructions to do so, destroying the units and sending them a photo to confirm. This saves you the time and...

    Vapman

    To fit in Vapman? With the hole in the middle, thin edges and requirement for no obstructions to closing? I've never tried it (have you?), but off hand I think this is not a trivial deal like in HA, DV, Solo and other vapes that have more conventional load shapes. I'll stand by for what the...

    Arizer Solo

    Cool. You'll find info on a Massdrop and at least two 'favorite vendors' (at least once each) I can recall in the last two weeks. Some random EBay vendors too, best to be careful about who will cover warranty..... OF

    Arizer Solo

    Good choice, IMO. I'm sure you'll be happy with at least some of it's performance/features. As to where's a good place to buy, I'll bet if you go back say two dozen pages and do a bit of reading you'll find it's come up 4 or 5 times in that period? I assume you have not done that. OF

    The Grasshopper

    While the OP may well be guilty of underestimating the time line here, I suggest he is far from alone. In fact, consider the future makers (or so we hope) of this wondervape are coming up on a year late? And they are in the best position of all to make an accurate estimate? As several have...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    First off, howdy! Welcome to the forum and all the fun. Good call on the MFLB, but perhaps not the best first vape ever made. Lots of us more experienced gents (and ladies) around, MMJ tends to collect us somewhat. Don't stress on the cost of gear. Consider that conversion to vaping is a...

    Syqe Portable Inhaler (metered-dose cannabis inhaler)

    No, it is definitely entirely different than the drawings I've seen and the descriptions I've been given by Nate. Different size, shape, features and probably technology. OF

    Arizer Solo

    Sounds like battery to me. What level does it show? How long since the last charge? What happens when you do it with the Solo plugged in ("PA")? OF

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I think that is almost right, '...the power supply can deliver 27 Watts'. Ascent can't use that much, so just like all the other stuff you've got plugged into 15 Amp 120 Volt outlets it actually draws only what it needs. Also be a little careful with 'back of the envelope' engineering to not...

    Hey, you can do like me. Save some wear and tear on your LBs and forget where the Lotus is while you enjoy the VM. Gotta move on sometimes. Come on, you know you really want it....... OF
