The vapor does seem weak with the oil can. I wonder if using the lid for the oil can would help?
He draws to hard... you can hear the glass oil canister moving up and down and making a clinking noise as he inhales.
I have not tried the oil yet, but the premise reminds me of the Mircro Dabber accessory for the Solo that came out last year .
I will try oil before the official review. I am currently out and short on cash at the moment.
Answer me this: Why is there a lid in the first place? HINT: Is is not "so you can turn the unit sideways".
Yup that's what I was getting at
The lid affects the airflow, so why use the device incorrectly to review it? Wouldn't make more sense to use it properly FIRST, and then do tests changing stuff up? (Like our FC reviewers are doing?)
That's an easy one: They do NOT have final versions.Not sure if this was asked or covered, but to sticks, slim and THR, do you know if the buttons on your review units are pre or post button revision?
I was told the only differences between this unit and the production units they are awaiting are simple cosmetic issues...the seams don't line up perfectly and the buttons stick out a little bit. I don't know what they are talking about with the seams...they look fine to me. But I get the button changes. Right now they stick out a little bit and have pointed corners. This can be improved a little and they are doing just that. I know some are getting impatient, but the improvements will be worth the wait and it gives me great hope for the unit and the company...it shows a perfectionist attitude that cares about the details.
I just received my Davinci Ascent today !
Unboxing video here and full review coming soon
Of course he would .. I always let my Solo heat up with the stem already in and my first hit is crazy good.I wonder if he would get different results heating up with the glass container inside from the start.. Then add the oil..
I will try oil before the official review. I am currently out and short on cash at the moment.
If the whistle is coming from where it swivels... then try a rubber band type bracelet over the slot.... if DV told him to push the inside glass down then why not try a cheap Seal to test it out.. if the whistle comes from the bottom... then that is how it is supposed to be.. I recommended this earlier but it was disregarded... but with all this talk about a whistle.. it sounds like I'm not the only one concerned..
Thank you SLiM.It does not come from the seal on the side. You don't need to do such an elaborate test.....The sound is coming from the bottom of the device near the grill.
Since the Ascent's glass cans don't have the hole in the bottom
CITATION NEEDED
EDIT: I thought TheHerbalReview had a shot I could find that clearly showed the oil cans (only shot I found was a side shot). I also thought there was a bottom opening, like what I understand is in the DaVinci oil cans. I could be wrong about both, which is why I'm asking for proof one way or the other.
Like I mentioned before I believe the glass absorbs alot of the needed heat to vaporize the oil.
for those that have the Ascent, if you think it would be a good first vape.
There is no airpath through the glass containers I was corrected by DV earlier in the thread when I said there must be one for air flow .
I totally agree with you Nigel just a thought if. It turns out that ya it just doesn't heat up enough, that's all.
Using the lids makes sense to me there's 3 holes on the lid there for if you were to draw on the unit air would pass through.
Its there for a reason right. I won't know until I have one in my hand I guess. I just know what works and in this case I don't.
I don't own one yet.

From my previous post above:
WHICH IS NOT TO SAY that there aren't better ways than the engineers designed to use the device. I mean, the designers are experts in their field (Of which will is *NOT* despite him thinking his puffing is "science")...
But designers can't think of everything.
So one experiments...
I believe it was JRR that found a better solution to use the oil can for the original DaVinci. But he started using it as designed, then modified according to hypothesis, collected data, then revised hypothesis.
VapeLife Will just seems to "do stuff" (BIG FUCKING HINT: that's not "science"). But he doesn't care about actually figuring out how to maximize usage for a device. He's in the business of collecting views.
I agree, he seems like the type of guy who would not read the directions and then complains when the product malfunctions/breaks...
Good work as always Nigel
Three people here have the Ascent, and I will speculate they are far from beginners.
Also your needs are your needs. None of us know what those are. That being said, this could very well be a good starter vape, in addition to a great portable vape for all.
I think, for the time being, there are too many unanswered questions here to even address yours. Some devices have a "learning curve" and this might not be an exception.
In general, I can say two things: A) welcome to the forum, and B) *I* suspect this would be a great starter, but jury is out, and don't hate me if that is proven wrong.
