Yes. Okay. Wow. Okay. It may taste like the bottom of a fisherman's foot, but it's definitely working. 15 minutes into the session and I'm feeling quite medicated...maybe more-so than I usually do with the Solo at this point. Sipping made all the difference. My instinct last night was to pull...

We don't let it sit long at all. Just started another session as I write this, and my delicious juicy fruit tastes like old calamari. Going to try the sipping technique and see how that goes. (Though all I can think about right now is a low-rent seafood buffet....) Glad yours works though...

That may be true, but I hope it doesn't diminish the real and serious issues some of us are having. Quality is obviously not consistent with this first batch, cosmetically or functionally. Seriously, I wish you guys could feel how hot ours gets--I can't believe anyone would be comfortable using...

We didn't notice any visible off-gassing, but even after a few cycles of burnoff, my grape ape tasted more like calamari. Glad to see someone else has been experiencing automatic heat reduction. @Pickz, does the bottom of your unit also get more than uncomfortably hot? For those returning...

Pretty sure it's not a sensitivity issue--my bro and I both experience painfully high temps holding the bottom casing. Is anyone else's automatically lowering the temp from overheating?

Hmmm. Guessing we may have a defective one that's prone to overheating--which may also explain why the unit turns itself down (some sort of failsafe?). I'll try again tonight. Edit: My brother tells me that what we thought was film or condensation under the screen is, under closer inspection...

Does the bottom portion get super hot for you? I can't bear to touch it when it's on...and my huge Lana hands really want to hold it there. We've been tamping as hard as we dare with the oil jars. Maybe we're both drawing too hard. The solo has conditioned our lungs...

Spent some time with the Ascent tonight. The bottom of the unit doesn't just get hot....it gets somewhere between uncomfortably and painfully hot. I last used it an hour ago and the pinky-side of my palm is still smarting. We're also running into an issue where the Ascent will turn itself...

Didn't one of the early testers have a panel competely fall off? Ours doesn't seem quite as bad as some of the others here are reporting. But then, as an Apple user, I'm used to a near seamless fit and finish, which is why I was disappointed with my first impression. If you're going to brand...

I'm not sure there was anything ever made ever that didn't have some issues with the first batch. It's the price we pay to be on the bleeding edge.

The notch is in the lid--I don't believe the jar itself has one. Maybe put the lid back on and pull it out that way? How full did you fill the jar?

This what you're looking for?

Yes, but purpley-black is so much more fun to say. :p Are you thinking DIY? Perhaps--maybe it'll go away with heating. Another thought--would be nice if there was some sort of USB port for firmware upgrades. And I can definitely see an aftermarket for different kinds of jars or cans--like...

Ours arrived today. Here's a few initial impressions while it charges. My brother wanted the burl, but got the black since it was the only one available. I love it, and will probably buy the burl so we can swap. The purpley-black piping is a beautiful, understated touch. The latch isn't as...

How about the thickness of the stem? That's the part that makes me worry. My GonG adapter for my solo feels like it's built like a champ, and I have no concern about it snapping, but something about the look of the Ascent GonG seems less than sturdy...

How fragile does the adapter feel with the WT? It looks...precarious...

You greedy bastard. :D

It was mentioned earlier that a charge only lasts about 10 days...I'm guessing it'll need some juice on arrival.

:mmmm: What kind?

Eesh. This gibberish thread is getting cluttered up with gibberish.
