Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

[WakeAndVape]

If it was only one person that mentioned it I would have dismissed it but its something all three of the people below noticed(They all have Youtube channels if you wanna look them up).

Vapor S. Thompson
Vapelife Will
TheHerbalReview

I dont believe I heard the herbal review mention it (I could be wrong)
Vapor S Thompson said its only with the mouthpeice, which I find both ways of drawing are close to even
And vapelife will was hitting it so fast and hard that it was whistling

I rewatched the TheHerbalReview video again and I misheard him say "I havent noticed a decrease in vapor density" @ 3:20 in the video while holding the glass mouthpiece, I thought he said he did notice a difference.

The Vapelife Will guy did seem to struggle a bit with the unit in comparison to the Vapor S. Thompson guy. In Will's follow up video where he demonstrates using the oil can he had the unit set @ 430F and was still having problems completely vaping his wax/budder(cant remember what concentrate he used) while the Vapor S. Thompson guy took about 3 tokes and completely cleared his oil can with his unit set at 398F.

eLiguL...I was happy with the unit's performance as it is. If DV has found a way to make it even better than I need it, far out!

I'm in love with the features

 

[Shrike]

Poor fit of the bottom (-) button...looks slightly crooked.

But yeah...pretty cool feature.

44 more posts of whining about shipping delays have been banished to the nonsense hell where they belong.

WTF is wrong with you people? If you can't keep your crap where it belongs there won't be an Ascent thread. I have an infinite supply of warning points here too.

Shipping and ordering posts belong in the Ascent Vaporizer - The Gibberish & NON device tech thread!

^^ Sinclue.............wrong thread, I think.

mod note: Not any more.

Can this vape be perfectly cleaned. For airport travel for example.

 

[Vapnoob]

Should be. A ISO bath for airway and a cotton swab and ISo for bowl.

If you want to keep the stems 'like new' I would suggest minimal grinds and an iso soak twice a week...because when the corners of the screen stem get gunked up, they are a b*@#h to clean! (I havent been able to get it 100% clean yet)
...its a good thing it comes with two sets of stems, because you can use one and preserve the other just for trips
also you can get another herb like peppermint and vape a couple bowls before you go on your trip to throw off the smell of the vaporizer

Have you tried adding salt to the iso? Put it in a sealed container or bag and shake--the salt should act as an abrasive and help scrub off the gunk.

I take it you don't do either extraction or a regular ISO bath?

[The former seem to be popular with quite a lot of people. The latter, even more so in the midst of people that focus on the word "glass." I'm just inferring from all of the reading I have done here...]

[EDIT: waiting to hear what you have to say about actual device, all jokes aside for time being...]

Ialso you can get another herb like peppermint and vape a couple bowls before you go on your trip to throw off the smell of the vaporizer

Also good to know. I was thinking about picking a few up about the other essential oil blends.
Good idea. Prolly on start. And again an close.

'Cause, you know... "bookends."

No pics or info on this whole vapor lock???
Davinci has been quiet in these forums!
Hopefully people can report back after receiving there units on the vapor lock!!!!

B.OG -- Just to be clear: Don't think anyone on this earth outside of Chinese customs control has first-hand knowledge of said lock...

 

[WakeAndVape]

I do with every other vape I have, but for this one I wanted to see how long I could go without 'having' to clean it...since I never really reached that point, I decided to clean it and got everything but a few specks after a two hour iso soak...not bad...just not 100%
Imo its good that it doesnt require a frequent clean, (I just sometimes use the tip of the poker to break the resin film off the holes of the screen)
Havent really tried the iso extraction yet, havent seen anything locally over 90% iso

Have you tried adding salt to the iso? Put it in a sealed container or bag and shake--the salt should act as an abrasive and help scrub off the gunk.

Admittedly I didnt try salt, I have used it for bowls in the past and will give it a shot the next time I soak...I just thought it would be messy and I wanted to try the iso-bag-soak method I was hearing about

Thats right the customs fiasco, well aside from customs davinci could of chimed in I guess.....oh well.
Thanks nigel, wasnt aware of the whole customs hold up till you mentioned and i read back some pages!! must of missed it somehow!!
Iam hoping custom's chimes in after various days and weeks of ascent usage, maybe a chinese customs ascent review!!! all jokes aside, DAVINCI , if possible ,can you show and explain the vapor lock!!!

 

[grokit]

Weren't we supposed to see some pics of said latch over the weekend?

 

[tyethewolf]

Think this one has the Vapor lock seal on it. Looks like a little nub on the right side of the device. Slightly disappointed with the visual quality of the seal :/ Like seriously why care about flush buttons if you are going to have something like that sticking out of the side?

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

Indeed it is the most revised version. Good find.

Like seriously why care about flush buttons if you are going to have something like that sticking out of the side?

Perhaps because the flush button requirement came before the need for a latch was uncovered? Or the flush buttons were to prevent the vape version of 'butt dialing' not cosmetics? Or maybe the cosmetics of the keyboard/display area are important to them?

Just guessing, of course. Very hard to predict where things go when Engineering a Marketing 'needs' get into the mix. But I see some potential reasons and think in the end the call is theirs to make. We get to decide to buy or not.

Im not trying to enter into the whole shipping fiasco again, but when i called the rep yesterday I was told it was held up at US customs not the Chinese side. That new clasp does look nice tho, its good to know i can't twist the wires in there to death anymore.

...sweet! Good to see what the clasp will look like, i wonder if that is the 'vapor lock seal' too?!?! 1 cant really see if there is more on the black Silicone part... having the review unit though, i see why they added the clasp... it's to keep the hinge from breaking if you attempt to Open the device the wrong way and that can be confusing when you first get the device and I'm sure they would have had a healthy percentage of people returning them for that reason... I just wonder if that clasp will make the Vapor more dense of if it is something else

Good to finally see it. Not sure why DV has been so coy about it.

The latch is a bit of a visual oddity, but I suppose one could file it off if it really bothered them.

For any of those medicinal users who already have the unit, have you tried vaping at the lower temperatures listed in the link below and gotten the effects listed? I'm most interested to find out about the anti inflammatory and analgesic effects at the 320f-340f range. In addition to just enjoying the vape, I find it helps me with my back pain (which no amount of pills or PT seem to). If you're using the 3 step temp change feature, what are your temps for the 3 steps?
