For what it's worth, the ASCENT also got quite hot, but it never affected the battery. And that was a permanent battery....
Ordered Nov 14th, waiting patiently...
You nailed it! It even works upside down :)
Basically, yes; Without timing it, I feel I'm getting to temp faster them 90 seconds. Also, the unit doesn't turn off if you are hitting it.
One last thing about having an extra cooling unit. When you vape multiple bowls in succession, eventually the cooling unit will get hot. By simply popping on a new CU, it's like dropping an ice cube in a warm drink; instant coolness : )
You realize you just bought the best portable vape, period! It's all downhill from here, lol
Seriously, you can vape tiny amounts, you can vape super low (340) it all works.
I recommend getting the pack of 3 extra cooling units. Enjoy!
Hey @DaVinci, I almost forgot. My Ascent has the ability to program an auto shut off, anywhere from 30 seconds to 20 minutes! That's powerful, and very appreciated. Why didn't you keep this feature for the IQ?
The Mighty produces huge clouds regardless of the method you choose; but the capsules reduce the amount you use. I'd guess 25-30% less than a full bowl. The capsules are also great for easy dump/reload on the go. Today I did that on a windy beach, and thought how hard it would be with a FF2, or...
In general, yes. You don't want herb flying around in a bowl on any vape, but being inside the dosing capsule bypasses that as it holds the herb in place, more or less. A half or 3/4 pack with a light press works great.
As an experiment, I tried a tiny amount at bottom of bowl, and used just...
Thanks Southern Chef!
Is there anything that resembles "stand by mode" like the PAX2? If you are in precision mode, and people are just standing around talking and not taking hits, can it sense that and shut off? Or just always shut off after a certain time? (in precision mode)
1) Yes, a boost limiter for sure! I would never use the top temp.
2) May I assume if you set a smart path to less than 10 min, (i.e. 6 minutes) that means it will then shut off after 6 minutes?
3) (If you aren't using a smart path), can you simply program a shut off after X number of minutes?
Ok, just ordered my stealth IQ; did not see the $51 credit at checkout. I fully trust having bought 2 Ascents, that it will materialize, lol Thank you @Davinci_vaporizer for all the support on this page. Can't wait!
Thank you for clarifying with these pics. I actually knew a guy who could do that with his eyeball. He'd extend it out of the socket, and say "I've got my eye on you" Sorry for going off thread... :0
Doesn't really matter; you can use it with NO battery life, as it has true pass through! It's a desktop too, just plug it in and go! It'll charge the battery as you vape
