2 flowers and 1 spacer = (:
I'm using one spacer and one big glass flower. Perfect for me.
Currently being Beta tested by a group of volunteers (who responded to DVs call for volunteers here a couple months back). Not yet available outside that group.
Depending on the testing, they may release them as is, or tweak to tooling (at least one guy reports his didn't fit).
In the mean time I suggest you try the glass flowers if you haven't. Same basic idea, same sort of positive results IMO.

Suddenly we have more options to fine tune the Ascent to suit us individually.
How cool is that?

You should get a stand from FCer @Ratchett. That would make that system work better. Not fun having to hold it the whole time.So this morning was the first time I used the fbomb with the 14mm wpa, half load and with a spacer. I would consider the taste to be as good or better than all my high end portables (mighty, minivap, haze). This was the first time I used the fbomb for multiple sessions and discovered it to be the perfect companion to the ascent because it uses less water and diffusion. My ascent, when flipped upside down, loses some thick vapor. Fbomb or the pnwt will keep all that delicious vapor and there is nothing now to lose (when using with water). I only planned to use it today so the batteries don't get cold. Turned out to be a gift.
Edit: Vicki, I am going to have to try your one flower, one spacer.

Keep in mind Vicki posses one very large flower. I am still in awe of it.
I think we all are. They say in that way 'she is blessed above all others'. I've no way of knowing for sure, but that's what I hear.......and it makes sense.
Do you wonder if this will become a cult thing, with the obvious High Priestess? I do......

I will have to find flowers of the same size and indoctrinate all of you.
I think a shrine is in order.
Or maybe just distributed small alters?

Good news! I was able to find two more of the large flowers! They are green, not clear like mine, but they are the same size. I am going to go into deep storage later to see if I can find more.
The first two people to PM me, "Glass Flower" in the subject line, can have one. I need to figure out the best way to send them to people, though. Maybe just an envelope and a couple stamps? I just have no faith in the USPS.
That was more than likely an issue with the jars. The bowls are all the same size as ceramic tolerances are a lot smaller than glass tolerances. We had an issue where the refurbished bowls weren't fitting some oil jars. We would be more than happy to send out another pair for you to try.My Carbon Fiber Ascent was sent to me with an oven that does not fit the oil jars (and prob the spacers).
Perhaps a carefully bubble wrapped carrier pigeon? But remember to cut air holes.
can i get one? i love the ascent! i had 2 RMA its still currently there but when i get it back im gonna use that thing all the timeI'll probably just use first class mail. It seems to be the cheapest option.
There is still one glass flower left. Any takers? OF?

i dont have any other glass spacers i didnt get into the beta, and well ill do my best im sure the experience will be differentAre you beta testing the glass spacers? I was kinda hoping to get feedback.
In reverse order, thanks for your kind offer. But I think it should go to a 'fresh tester', I've already tested lots of glass things in there......
By way of shipping I'm a fan of first class mail for such things (no trip to the PO.....). I'd cut a small square (say 2 or 3 inches) of cardboard with a one inch or less hole in the center. I'd use tape on each side to hold the flower in the hole and wrap the lot up with a sheet or two of paper to pad it a bit more and put it in a normal envelope. Staying under one ounce (28 grams) and 1/4 inch meets the 'one stamp' requirements.
Between the 'free Solo rings' and the 'free custom MFLB stems' 4/20 celebrations of years past I sent out over 100 such packages without incident.
BTW, very cool what you're doing. You know that, I'm sure, as do at least some of us. But perhaps it needs saying?
Thank you.
