Third time was the charm for me. Loving the third unit.good luck on your 3rd unit njluvdr..I'm enjoying mine!!
You'll receive it with a US plug but a simple US to UK adapter works perfectly well.Hey there,
I've been following this thread for ages now (and the pre release thread that ended up at a silly number of pages long!)
I was just wondering having ordered my ascent about a week ago to the UK, will it come with a UK power adaptor or will i have to buy one? If so, will i need a currency converter etc?
Last thing i'd want to do is have the thing turn up and A: not be able to use it B: fry it the moment i put it on charge!
Any ideas folks?
Did you say "...static/buzzing/cracking noise" above 300*F? Is that what you've been hearing? I'd like to hear from a good number of Ascent users to determine whether this is common to them or not. For those who might think that I am calling into question a possible flaw, or that I'm on some sort of a witch hunt, I am not. Many thanks in advance for your replies!
wouldn't it be as simple as powering it up in a clean and small enclosure of some type that it is sealed in for a few minutes(maybe up to 10 mins?) and then opening and smelling what is in the container? Power it p and stick it in a ball/mason jar I a dark room with a flashlight and seems like you would be able to tell.Hi,
I've had my unit for about 2 weeks now and used it almost every day. When I first got it, I let it run on 400 for about 5 min, and didn't see any smoke. There was the plastic/new vape smell, but that's pretty much gone now. I'm confident that this unit doesn't offgass, but I'm not 100% positive, and the thought of smoking unknown and possibly toxic materials freaks me out. Is there any way I could still test my unit for offgassing even though there is res now? Also, what would be some of the negative effects of smoking these unknown materials, how would I be able to know?
Thanks, but I believe that's the one for their old Davinci model, not the Ascent. It can (supposedly) be used with the Ascent, but doesn't allow you to use it while charging. Plus I'd be leery using it 'cuz the Ascent has slightly different power requirements than the Davinci.
When I just ordered it, it wasn't a pre-registration - at least I hope not!! I was given shipping choices in addition to free shipping, and payed a bit extra for usps priority. Order status says "awaiting fulfillment"After much thinking I think Im going to buy this vaporizer.How long is the wait period approximately for the preregistration?
Also is there a mini hydrator for this thing?
Thanks. What design did you order? Im thinking of going stealth, but the wood has that Mercedes interior luxury. Its tempting.When I just ordered it, it wasn't a pre-registration - at least I hope not!! I was given shipping choices in addition to free shipping, and payed a bit extra for usps priority.

unless they sold out they said on their fb page Friday that it is not available.After much thinking I think Im going to buy this vaporizer.How long is the wait period approximately for the preregistration?

Stealth was a no-brainer for me. I like a simple clean design, plus it's just so... stealthy.Thanks. What design did you order? Im thinking of going stealth, but the wood has that Mercedes interior luxury. Its tempting.
Yesterday their site had it as "unavailable" and I couldn't even pre-order. Today it had changed and allowed me to order.unless they sold out they said on their fb page Friday that it is not available.
Just get an inverter for your car and then you can use the wall wart in your car.Thanks, but I believe that's the one for their old Davinci model, not the Ascent.

Oh!!!!! I had no idea that existed - wow the possibilities - thank you!!!!Just get an inverter for your car and then you can use the wall wart in your car.
@lwien, nice review. Re the dark ABV: I'd say that was the consequence of forgetting and leaving the Ascent on. It continues to heat the load and since there is a lot of conduction, it gets cooked and you lose some vapour and a lot of flavour. You probably will find an improvement if you just use it the way you intended rather than forgetting it. In my opinion, you won't get it to be as efficient as your PD was (or even the LSV) but the things you like about the Ascent would make it a keeper for out and about—unless you don't have that requirement?
I waited about 15 minutes and decided that I needed another hit which is one more than I normally take to get me where I wanted to be..... but I was so fucked up at the time, that I lost track of how long I put it down for (lol)...........could have been idling at 385 for 5 to 10 minutes or so. Kinda lost track of time.
Nice taste, but again, not as tasty as my LSV simply because the vapor production is not the same... The second hit was even a bit more voluminous than the first.
What I did notice is that it almost felt like a different strain of weed when using the Ascent versus the LSV. I felt the affects a LOT quicker with the Ascent, even though the clouds weren't as dense. Guess I'm getting a different cannabinoid profile due to the temps and how this vape operates.
The bad is, for me, that it took me 3.5 to 4 hits to get me to where I wanted to be rather than the 2 hits.
Oh, and one of the HUGE pluses for me is how hassle-free it is to use than any other vape that I've had before. Just load her up, set temp..........and puff.
but not for stealth. I got the burl wood and as I said, the damn thing is just so darn sexy and pretty that it would draw
REALLY liking this vape, but bud conservation is at the top of my priority list and I got to find a way to make that happen with the Ascent...... there is constant heat being applied to the bud when the unit is heating up, in between hits, and when the unit is cooling down, and even though you may not see vapor during this process, the bud is still being used up.
Yeah, I'm gonna try it again either tonight or tomorrow with hitting it as soon as it reaches vape temps without forgetting that it was on.
Did you try any further extraction (another session) on the ABV or are you fairly certain it is toast?
Even though it looks done, I never got the popcorn smell and taste that I got from other vapes when the ABV was cooked out
