  1. The anticipation builds for all of us as we await the release of the DaVinci Ascent. The official release date has not been set but it is looking like it will be ready for retail in a matter of weeks. Again we want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. We will be updating our blog with new info about product details and the release date.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm not going to argue on the boards. I just asked if we were still talking days or if it was now indeed weeks as they posted on their fb page hours ago. (oh damn there's some info we didn't get first)! I just want to know if im in the position to use the money I've squirreled away for the ascent on something else and still have time to get the extra cash around again. Just trying to vape on a budget guys, don't get your panties in a knot!

We've done this dance before right here in this thread and you wound up with a warning point. You might well be of the opinion that your ceaseless pestering (description chosen deliberately) isn't annoying or clutter, but apparently a lot of your fellow members disagree with you. My job here is to put a lid on the sort of harping you're doing, so let me be specific.

I will delete any further questions from you along that line, and I might even delete them from everyone. If you want to complain, do it in a PM. Further public remarks about this from you will get you another warning point.

I am not trying to be rude but if you must give me an infraction for this post then so be it. I agree that people need to be more patient but mods and manufacturers you know people aren't and they are always going to want all of the information they can get. If no release date had ever been mentioned I would agree with you pakalolo and everyone else saying that it is clutter. I do not think it is clutter rather very important and relevant information especially for a thread that is unofficial anyways. DV has come out with several release dates and if they wanted to tel us to be patient and it will be done when it's done that would be a different story, but like many other vape companies they get ahead of themselves and start spouting dates which is nobodies fault but their own. It was asked several times today which was prompted by information they put out on another social media and it was clearly danced around by DV when he "answered all the quick questions." I posted a few days ago about my fears of DV and their may 1st (or before that to FC members i believe he said) release date and I think it is on their shoulders because they are giving out information based on things that can change. DV strongly stated that it would be rocked and ready to go before the 1st and I think they should share in the accountability of their claims. It is exactly like I said in my last post. I work in the software industry and if I rumor a release date and I don't meet it I don't get mad at the customer for being upset with incorrect information I gave them, even if i had good intentions. That is how the world works and I could see a valid reason especially for those on a budget trying to scrape funds together (i have been there myself). I think they are normal questions built up with some angst and passion from excitement. I am not saying you guys are all in the wrong either but I just see where everybody is coming from and I thought he was being ganged up on.:2c:

Hey guys, just to let you know....I don't manage our FB page so sometimes odd things appear there. For instance...the last post linked to a blog that didn't belong to us, but rather an affiliate. For the most up to date info, stay tuned here.

When I have an answer, I will give it to you, right here- oh and in those email addresses for those that preregistered.

We are not months away- the production for packaging gets completed on May 5th, so take it from there, although I really did want it to be May 1. Unfortunately stuff happens..ie suppliers mess up production and so forth, which sets us back. We admittedly missed the March 31st date and I said that we were striving for before May 1, but honestly guys I'd rather put out nothing short of a perfect product rather than rush to the gates. I hope you can all be patient with us and know that we've been nothing but forthcoming with the delays.

That sucks and know how it feels to not have a vape.
Yeah it really sucks. My buddy has been trying to get into vaping forever so as the ascent release grew closer I told him I'd sell him my solo when it came out. So the other day he finally came up with the money, I (figuring it would be too long) went ahead and let him take it. My own damn fault I guess! I'll just T-break while I'm waiting cause I'm not about to combust again. Yuuukkkk!

This.

I've been waiting for this device since as long as this thread has been around. I'll continue to wait, although I won't make any commitments about doing so patiently. :)


I think DaVinci has been more than upfront with us (Although, in all fairness: "I'll post pictures/video/HaikuContest/whatever by Friday" translates into english as "2 weeks" :p I now understand this translation and modify accordingly.)

I'm going back to twiddling my thumbs and hitting REFRESH on this thread every 90seconds, awaiting a final date...

Hey DV thanks for the update, we all want what you want a perfect product :) Lets all be honest here if you told us july 1st for the date everyone here would still buy one on the release day :)

I just had to combust for a couple days at the start of the month. My Pax was replaced with a new one and it was dreadful without it. So bought a extreme Q and waiting for the Ascent. Told my friend I might sell Pax but I feel I better have backups!

Always have a backup! That's a lesson I won't soon forget!

I am looking forward to something even more than the actual release of this wonderful product.

and that is the deletion of all questions relating to the release date :)

what I wouldn't give to be a mod right now :) actually I take that back, I am sure it is a huge pain in the ass :)

And there it is.

I was wondering why you were so out of line about this. You know how every time someone brings up gotvape, and mmenzie comes in to say they suck and you can hear the collective groan of everyone following the thread? That's who you've become in this thread about the release date. And the reason it bugs us is because we aren't stressing about some poor decision and taking it out on the release date of this vape.

So, please, take two things from this:
1 -- Don't fuck with pakalolo. he's a mod and he does a great job of keeping this kind of stuff out of the way; and
2 -- Go back to worshiping the plant! None of these vapes are worth a fuck without our precious herb. I'm a vapor junkie and am currently coming to grips with what's important about my habit. Sounds like you could do that too. Go fire one up and feel good...that's what you used to do!

Edit: Do you guys realize that in eight hours we got three full pages of posts about this vape and it isn't even out yet? wtf?

You mean the contest that has been going on since Monday that I didn't notice any announcement in this thread about? :)

I have been secretly wondering since the March 31st date got moved, if we would hit 100 total pages by the new/actual release.

I don't think that will be an issue.

I don't want to disrupt this thread further but there are a few lessons everyone should take from this.

First, you are breaking the rule about discussing a moderator decision. V&C took it to PMs and you should have too. Instead you continued the derail, an unwise choice. If you publicly challenge a moderator then you leave us no choice. If you send a PM then it's a private squabble and you can't get a warning point.

Second, you might not think it is clutter but a lot of us do. More important, as a moderator I get to make that decision, not you. That's my job here, and it's spelled out pretty clearly in the rules you agreed to when you joined.

Third, you shoot yourself in the foot when you point out that the question has been "asked several times today". That's exactly the point, and why I was telling V&C to can it.

Finally, I would like to point out that while there have been opportunities to hand out points, nobody has gotten one. We have rules, some of which have been broken here, but one of them is (thankfully) that rules are enforced at moderator discretion. I'm trying to get you to understand my actions without having to hand out a warning. Please don't make me change that.

Anyone who feels the need to discuss this further can send me a PM.

so the vaporizer is finally complete? all you are waiting on is the packaging? can we see a detailed video of the vape, or at least some good images of the device ? unless it's not good and you want us to find that out for ourselves... cause the current videos are useless and blurry, and it's not hard to make a new video. you can even upload your videos to youtube.com for free, believe it or not.

just a friendly word of advice to those who have few posts. I have been on this any many other forums for a long time. I think it is generally a good idea to slowly introduce yourself, ask questions and generally just get your feet wet before starting in the with complaints and insults.

we are all friends here, looking for the same thing. Friendship, information and a sense of community. people who come in and insult or just complain will generally have a hard time on this and any forum from what I have seen.

we are all excited and want the same things. lets just all try to get along and stay positive :)
