    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Just hit mine for the first time in three days. My god, what a difference. If only Arizer made a solo in a slim a form factor like the Ascent.

    Nice to know I'm not crazy. That awful taste had to come from somewhere...

    That's not the case for me. The wires don't stick out in the airpath, and the gap could easily be closed if the silicone was longer.

    I missed it by seconds. Seconds! Eager to hear all about this, now that I'm done with the Ascent for a while.

    If the bottom silicone piece went up just a liiiiiiittle higher in the tube (1/4" or so), it would close the gap exposing the wires. Perhaps that piece was made too short in this production run. Are most of us experiencing this issue?

    Do you see any in your beta unit?

    Awww...I want a red wire. All I have is green and white. @Davinci_vaporizer, can you talk us down here? I'm open to a benign explanation for all this, but right now this is very worrisome.

    I just realized that's not even silicone inside the tube! The silicone is only at the very top and bottom to provide the seal. Inside the tube is plastic! Plastic and wiring and mystery gaps. Oh my.

    Is that red with the green stripe, or green with the red stripe? This is the dealbreaker for us. Time to clean it up for shipping. Very sad. Lord knows what my brother and I have been inhaling the last few days. I would be okay with the internal "GonG" connection if the lining was a single...

    Here's a fun test...open the chamber, extend the mouthpiece, and cover the holes in the glass screen. Draw as you normally would. Inhaling anything? I did on my test, and it tasted foul. Which means air is coming into the tube from somewhere else, likely through the main body filled with...

    I see those wires as well...they seem to come from some sort of gap, and would definitely be exposed with the mouthpiece extended, and likely in the airpath if the glass screen were not properly sealed. Oy. :disgust:

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Honestly, I'm getting better and purer flavor from my Solo. But to be fair, it's had a much longer break-in time. This ascent no longer tastes like the floor of the kitchen in a Long John Silver's, but is still nothing like I get from my Solo. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and pack that...

    Sorry, not sure what issue that's meant to address. Are you talking about the herb cooking away? Wouldn't turning the heat off and on just make it worse, since you're more frequently waiting for the bowl to come up to temp? Turning the heat off doesn't bring the temp down to zero. It's still...

    I edited my post to reflect my uncertainty...I've seen thick vapor coming from the grill between pulls, but it could be escaping elsewhere. Haven't tried cotton yet, but I don't think I want to fuss with it long-term.

    Marginally, in our case. It does help, but it still doesn't stack up to other vapes.

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Quick rundown, and not everyone is experiencing these issues: - a variety of cosmetic flaws regarding the display - other cosmetic issues with panel fitting, extra glue, upside-down logos, reversed buttons, etc. - seems noticeably less efficient than other vapes - mystery vapor coming from the...

    No answer from calling CS. Only voicemail...he left a message. If he doesn't hear back, he's going to put it on ebay, since you can apparently make a little profit... :\ @Slightly Medicated, how is it holding up for you? And what's your technique? After a few weeks, I'm sure you've found a...

    From what I'm hearing, DV will likely honor a refund, but I haven't seen an example of that yet.

    He went for a replacement through their web page. I don't think he's tried calling yet. To echo what others have said, this is not the replacement for the solo and MFLB I was looking for. Either of those are far more efficient than the ascent, from our experience. And both have abilities...
