    The Grasshopper

    Did anyone notice this on the backers' store description? (I tried searching and looking to see if it was already noticed) Infinite adjustable temperature range between 100°C - 200°C Does that mean that it will be an analog adjustment instead of only 5 different settings? Cuz that would be...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Hi all, I'm a fairly new recreational (2-3 times per week) MFLB user (first vape, and never really smoked except a few times). I think I've got a technique that seemed to be working for me. I think I used to draw a bit too fast and it caused me to get a bit paranoid, but now I let the box get...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    OK. So some units were just scratched because there was no film? And then the ones that had the film didn't get scratched, but the film started peeling off?

    I'm curious as to how you're certain that the film issue is not just a misdiagnosis of the scratching issue. The scratches on my display are very slight and not nearly as horrible-looking as that one photo that was posted. I just never remember there officially being 2 verified problems.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    That's certainly possible, but from how the rep described it and how it looked, the scratching seemed to be going on in the inside of the display, not the outside. I think DV mentioned something about a film and so everybody started thinking they left a film inside (which it sorta looks like...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    The rep I spoke with on the phone didn't mention a film at all. He said that the people assembling it were scratching the screens by accident during assembly. It sounds like they did put a film on during assembly, but I don't think they left it on. I think that if most people look closer, all...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I got exactly the same impression, like it's telling you how the battery will be if you keep doing what you're doing now, which IMO is not as helpful as knowing what the actual battery level is. I had one of the DV reps friend me on facebook once. I told him I had some questions and he asked...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I almost felt like it was better not to run the vapor thru the bubbler as I was afraid of losing the wonderful flavor. It was just that smooth at the higher temp. It does dry my tongue a bit if I don't keep it away from the vapor path, but it's not harsh at all, and I still haven't yet coughed...

    Yeah I got 1 big cloud and 1 little cloud from 1/4 of half-baked at around 400-410. And assuming you're temp is running low, you could have been vaping closer to the combustion zone. lol.

    IIRC he needs a lot of material for his needs, so he was probably filling the bowl up fully and tightly. I could be wrong, but the clouds would come easily simply because of the extra herbs. Most of us are trying to get clouds on 1/5 or 1/4 of a bowl. @Slightly Medicated ?

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Mine is orange and white :) If anybody (@nigel) doubts that a bunch of that vapor would go out from in between the straws and into that void, take the glass out and mate them a few times. Note the looseness. Then at your next session, look down the straw while you're waiting for that cloud and...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I received my stealth Ascent this past Friday and have used it several times. Here are my observations so far: For starters, the herbs get cooked beautifully. The only other herb vape I've used is the MFLB and I've never been able to achieve ABV that looked this good. The vapor tastes...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I think I'll get the u-shaped adapter even though I will use it mostly with flowers. Maybe it's unwarranted paranoia, but I don't want the herb puck sliding off the bottom of the bowl while it is upside down if I was using the straight tool, since the herb should be packed as tight as possible...

    Yeah I'm a numbers guy and a sucker for the latest tech :D. Any idea how MFLB compares to vapes like these potency-wise?

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I have only used the MFLB (my first vape which I bought this year). I am thinking about buying an ascent as more of an at-home vape, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it. With the MFLB, I get decently buzzed at 1-2 hits, and really baked at 3-4. More than that seems like too much. I am not...

    Ascent Vaporizer by Da Vinci (pre-sale thread)

    IIRC, they said that the first people to pre-register would be notified first. I don't think that means they will have a unit reserved for them. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    A lot of jokes had innuendoes. They were funny, but I intentionally avoided that just in case... not sure if that was a part of their decision.

    Valid point :) ... I probably won't win since all my friends must be either oblivious or not interested in supporting the cause... I did like how Benjamin's joke exposes the absurdity of our government's double standard. Best of luck! Oh, and if I was that pirate, I would definitely give...
