My daughter has this glass bead kit and I found the perfect piece of glass to fit in my ascent bowl. It holds the packed load to the bottom and I get CLOUDS for the whole session without opening up to repack at all.
I'm still having consistantly great results with my ascent. Desktop-esque clouds, great taste, not to hot on the bottom. I think there are just some bugs that need work out is all.
I'm getting consistently great results now. I've run quite a bit of herb and oils and no longer am getting the token DV packaging taste. Pack tight, keep the herb on the bottom and control draw speed. It has its quirks (like all portables) just take time to get the method down.
@sam reynolds...
The glass bowl should have spilled over the top around where it's at now. Then the top silicone seal would just seal against glass. That gap would be so small and the screen would be so close. I think that would've worked better. Silicone could've sealed against glass just as well as it does...
That could be the tool!!!!! We need a little heat proof pinky condom to tamp the load back down without burning ourselves! Lol:rofl: but seriously I've burnt myself like 6 times in less than 24 hours! Lol
I have also been getting my best results evenly packing it with the oil can. Just squeeze it down tight, pop it back out, close it and start at about 385. Because of the glass it holds it's flavor for quite some time compared to some other portables.
Pappy I'm quite confident that yours is defective. One can know nothing about the ascent and get better results than what your getting. So I have to attribute it to the ascent malfunctioning.
Sticks, remembering your comments from back then is what made me decide to pack TIGHT. It worked wonders and yes cotton would keep the load down but, seems like a bit of an inconvenience.
Ok guys, with my method of TIGHT packing I'm getting fantastic results. It will chalk my 14 inch tube on 400. When on 425 I am getting near desktop results through my glass. I am not embellishing. I do however only use TOP TOP TOP shelf herb. Did I mention TOP! Pack it til it's a tight draw. I...
I'm quite confident that oil cans with a couple holes in the bottom, packed tightly with herb, and flipped upside down in the chamber would work well. It'd be tightly packed, decrease airflow and be heavy enough to stay down low in the chamber. I just put a full upside down can in (no holes of...
Yes packing it makes it the conduction vape that it really wants to be! But it's glass conduction which is fine by me cause its quite tasty! If there was a bowl shaped packer tool it'd be badass!!!! Think the glass screen but no holes! That'd work great! I'm getting clouds that could make a solo...
I don't think I really have any reason to lie. I always pride myself as being a straight shooter. I don't do vids. Pack yours tight and give it a shot.
Yeah I'm gonna recant my wispy vapor statement! Pack HARD! Harder than you think is necessary. And it will produce monstrous clouds from 380ish on up!
U just have to open it up a few times a sesh and push the little brick back down.
The vapor is wispier than I had expected. Wayyyy better flavor than the original DV but the cloud production of the original crushes the ascent! Anyone else notice if you draw a little to hard with a small load it gets sucked up against the screen and then stops producing any kind of visible...
