Anyone out there that has used this and the ascent both that would be able to compare the two in terms of draw, taste, and vapor quality?
I typically use my ascent around 375 to 385 and it is generally a pretty smooth experience (especially when compared with my backup, the flowermate), but there is alot I like about this Haze. I would also like to know if the glass stems are similar in size.
I'm hoping Mr. Weed's code ends up working, as I'd love to put in an order on the haze.
Currently waiting on my F-bomb water tool and davinci 14 mm gong to arrive, but damned if this vape doesn't have me interested. I better figure out some funds.
I had an Ascent that I elected to flip it.
I thought having a Pax, Ascent and a Haze would have been a bit over kill.
I love my Pax still and wanted to keep it because it is so small and you can cup it in your hand for discrete pulls. That combined with its overall performance means I will probably have this until it is totally dead or obsolete. This will more likely be many many years.
To be fair I no longer have the Ascent so a more objective opinion is not available. Keep in mind I am going off stoner memory.
I did like my Ascent and had also considered some water attachment accessories but the design and features of the Haze were a big advantage IMO. As I stated earlier, I really couldn't stand loading the Ascent. You had to hold it up to load and I also didn't like how the rubber seal around the bowl seems to get out of whack in short order.
I thought the battery sucked and it wasn't removable. I also worried about the design of having to twist the bowl around. A lot of pressure on that hinge and I had read some of the issues people had had with that so I wanted to dump it before it became a problem for me.
As for vapor taste/quaility....these units are comparable from my memory but I wouldn't want to comment further without the benefit of a side by side. I can tell you that the Ascent seemed to have a less restrictive draw. I believe the draw tube is a bit wider with the Ascent. However a lot of this depends how you load your device and grind your material. I do a coffee grind to get it very fine (almost powder sometimes) and pack it in tight. This naturally provides more restriction as well.
I do/did this for my Pax, Haze and Ascent and the Ascent is the easiest to draw and it most likely comes down to the diameter of the draw channel. Just not that important for me but may be for others.
If you have other questions feel free to ask and I will provide my

On the subject of the vaporizerusa.net code. ...I used one on the Haze. Not Mr. Weed's code tho, it was one I got directly off the site for Mother's day (20%).
They typically have a sale for all the major holidays and it worked then. However they may have changed it and excluded it from all codes working. Maybe because it's new and they have limited stock still. Once the word gets out I see them being able to sell these at $250 all day long so they are just hurting profitability by offering it.
I also got the grinder and the discount to work but again, you are not missing anything on the grinder. Nice for free of course but worth less than $5 otherwise.
Keep asking questions folks....Nick, Trevor and I are here for ya!
