I'm very surprised to hear comments about how the build quality of the Ascent is sub-standard. I personally, think the build quality of my unit is excellent, and I'm pretty picky. All seams are tight and even. Everything is centered and no signs of any excess glue. The was basically extremely...

To the people that have had to return their units: How long did you use the Ascent before the problems started? I've only owned mine for about a month, and only use about once a day. I'm just wondering if these problems/defects arise quickly or if it takes months before they start. Thanks for...

Just a quick report: I've been getting extremely good results ( big clouds, very medicated) using a couple glass flowers on the bottom, a layer of bud, a flower in the middle, fill the rest of the bowl, and two flowers on top. I set temp to 396F, it's produces great flavor and isn't hot or...

I prefer glass flowers over the glass oil can.

That's not the bowl, it's the upper section where you insert the glass stem.

I was vaping bud sprinkled with kief last night at 400F to 410F and it produced big clouds with a great taste. I've heard that higher temps are needed for concentrates. It worked for me and it was the most medicated I've gotten so far using the Ascent. I do believe more research is needed to...

I'm starting to notice that I don't think glass flowers on the bottom of the bowl help much. I'm still using a couple on top, sticking down like thumbtacks, it's more for blocking pieces from entering the stem. Still experimenting a lot and things keep getting better and better. Ill be...

I'm using them like thumbtacks to keep the bud down and to block particles from entering the using the technique I just described, I definitely got the best high yet. It's not as sedating as a joint and doesn't seem to effect my eyes as much. It's a different high but still enjoyable. I'm still...

I was just playing with my Ascent and got a very dense bud of GSC, broke it a part with my fingers not quite as fine as for rolling a joint, then I semi-loosely packed it in the bowl and stuck two glass flowers on top with the stems down, like thumbtacks. I set temp at 390F and hit it very slow...

The "new" taste, or "rubber" taste completely goes away after a quick break in. I've only had my unit for about a month and so far i have not had any of the problems or defects that seemed to have plagued the early units.

Im new to vaporizers but for portability I had to go for the Ascent. I'm afraid I'd be breaking the stems on the Solo too often. Also the temp. control on the Ascent is better, IMO. I've only used the Ascent so I can not make comparisons, but I'm very happy with it so far- going on 4wks. The odd...

Can you just use cotton from a Qtip?

Sqaure glass beads can be found on Amazon, search Miyuki 4mm Glass Cube Beads Color Mix Lavender Garden 10 Grams

I was using square glass beads that someone on this thread posted. I got them off of Amazon can't find the link. The link is posted somewhere in this thread. They seem to work well although they are small. I think I'm going to look around for some larger beads and also I've seen some thick oval...

How long did you guys have yours when it started doing this?

You bring up a good point. You must realize they will be more people coming on these forums to talk about the bad things concerning the Ascent than there will be people talking about the good things. It's the same on all forums. I've only had my Ascent for a little more than 2 weeks and so far...

I noticed the same thing so I cleaned it well and tried again and there was no vapor. So I assume it was left over stuff in the bowl. There has been some off gassing problems noted by some owners though. Try giving it a good cleaning and then burn it off and see if the vapor stops. Sometimes it...

I've heard people use cotton also. I'd just like to try to get the taste of the pure hash/kief. Ill try a crumbly texture with some glass flowers and maybe a metal screen if needed. Anybody gotten decent results using cotton?

I've tried some scissor hash and some dry sieve kief sprinkled in with some bud, and it worked fine. I'm going to try some crumbled hash and kief in a jar alone. If anyone has tried this what was the outcome? I've heard that using concentrates in the jars doesn't work very well, hope that's not...
