I appreciate your response. i have heard the exact same things from HR and Lynx - and found both to be inaccurate...:-(. I have a very fragile system that cannot tolerate toxins from whatever.
If I order an MV - only do DRY runs - and am not satisfied that it is free from outgassing, may I...
Great question. What I noticed from the bowl after I lit it up to the hi temp is an initial smell of something - and then as I kept smelling I did not really seem to notice anything. However, this happened enough times as to cause some concern.
What really bothered me is there seemed to be a...
I would never use a poisonous toxic vape like this.
If you put flower in - you will simply mask the smell.
Please return it for your own health's sake!!!
All your questions are great - and my exact questions. I actually bit and bought off their web-site. Per their tech they are only shipping v2.
At 428 - and likely at lower temps - I am getting a sort of faint metallic-y and possibly a bit of an electronic-y smell from the bowl. These are...
Thank-you!!! That is exactly right - the smell is not gone until the smell is gone BEFORE using ANY cannabis or whatever herb you are using.
I am surprised people do not get that.
I am wondering why BeBetter's (Post #90 above) re plastic-y taste is coming through if there vapor path is clean??
I understand there is a v2 - is that right? Have the mfg issues been resolved?
Thanks,
Greg
Thanks for you great review - the Ascent was horrible - lots of plastic out-gassing, not cleanable, etc.
What do you currently recommend for herb that has NO plastic/electronic out-gassing? Is such a beast even available.??
Summer - Thanks for the quality review. I saw the silicon pieces and immediately wonder WTF!!!?!?!?!?. I HATE inhaling toxic shit - and that is what so many portables have. I had SERIOUS problems with the Ascent because they were too f'n cheap to use metal on the flat areas surrounding the...
I would be interested in knowing the resolution of the chemical smells that you experienced. I have had a horrible time with portable vapes in this regard (not so the Vapor Bros box unit).
My concern re toxic plastic/silicon/electronic outgassing continues with the comment above.
Therefore, if any users can inform of any toxic outgassing from the beginning, that would be great.
I often hear it burns off after a couple uses. My concern is that it never actually burns off - but...
I think this is the singular most important issue with these plastic/silicon vaporizers - toxicity. I would absolutely REJECT DaVinci's claim that there is no toxicity to the foul, toxic tastes/odors of their product. They have absolutely no basis for that claim - they are speaking out of the...
What I know is that received a crappy, non-functional product followed by crappy, functional replacements and ultimately have a unit that does not work after a year and a half of grief. The ethics of this company sucks! I won't be buying any unit from them.
somewhere I heard that the Flowermate created a smell in the cannabis. I notice there are some plastic parts around the bowl - and wonder if they are using cheap Chinese plastic..
How are people doing regarding the out of the box odor?
Thanks!
PPN et. al.
Thanks for the nice responses to my concern. Unfortunately these do not quell my concern - and, in light of comments re: Haze, raises it more. Here is why a) the odor of particularly black dyed items from China is a well known concern - this is being caused by the dye that they...
I have long been interested in the Haze - however, I have one great concern that I would like some input on from existing users. I had purchased and gone through now three Ascents each of which had a very strong, foul smell particularly from the area between the top and bottom surrounding the...
I continue to have problems with the Ascent
1st Unit - The buttons all stuck - simply stuck in place and did not bounce back. However, much worse, it smelled toxic - significantly so - even after burn-offs.
2nd Unit - The buttons were different material (more rubbery) and worked fine...
@Tanz - Yes, I had the same problem with the Ascent - it was horrible - multiple top end burn-offs - second unit was the same as the first. Crappy Chinese mfg! I am looking at the Haze but I am not sure if it is better.
I agree that it is not wise to use such a product - though I am using...
Ean and all Haze Users
I am very disturbed to hear re plastic smell off unit - and plastic taste. The Ascent I received some months back was HORRIBLE. I had to do about 30 - 40 burn-offs and let it sit for weeks - and this was the 2nd one - the first one which I returned as it was defective...
