Ok so i have a few things to note here. i think that the air does in-fact come in contact with the Sillicon, i say this because the ceramic sits at-least a millimeter or two below the top level of the heater section(the part that makes contact with the top half of the body). This requires that at least some of the air touches the black silicon before it enters the glass draw straw.
On another note, the top removable glass straw is very easy to break, a friend pulled it out too far yesterday and it went crashing to the floor. I had one out side the unit today and it fell and broke. so that 2/3 in two days.
@
Davinci_vaporizer Can you offer the outside glass separate from the inside screen/straw? i can see myself breaking a bunch of these.
One other little problem i had was a hairline crack on my U-water pipe adapter, but i contacted Davinci and they have a new one on the way. Which leads me to another point, I think that two rubber pieces for the water pipe adapter makes it feel much sturdier, I had a chance to test this out today using a the silicon part from my friends water adapter and it felt much sturdier with no wiggling/clinking that happens with just one rubber.
And the last thing i mention is that when "kissing" the buddy rim i notice a whistle thru the small gaps where the black chrome pieces meet on the top of the vape.
And i just noticed if i push lightly on the screen it kinda moves a bit.
And one more thing about the Glass on Glass air path, if you look in the grill under good light you'll see a black piece of something, that is not glass, and is in the air path.
I have been low on herb so i only got to use my ascent for a bowl yesterday, i got high but didn't get clouds, i was packing very loosely. let's hope tomorrow brings me more money and more medicine so i can give it a really good trial.
If i could go back in time now I'm not sure i would have bought an my Ascent.
If you let your friends use the glass draw tube, WARN THEM NOT TOO PULL IT OUT TOO FAR!
Edit: just noticed that there appears to be an ever so slight gap between the left side of the middle front panel and the black chrome strip running up it. I mean Really small but still noticeable if your looking at it for perfection, now that i look closer i notice the gap is on all the middle pieces(top and bottom, back and front). The gap is the size of my finger nail, meaning i can fit my nail in the space. I kinda feel like i got a product from a company that doesn't really give a shit about quality, only profit (not saying this is true, just how i feel after seeing everyones problems and my own).
