Good choice. The Ascent was really badass on paper, but didn't quite hit the mark for me as finished product.

The PRO mouthpiece and PonG fit great on my regular Pinnacle -- great design improvement.
Yoyokid on ebay does have the Pro mp and PonG - you just have to ask!
Depends on the fit you're looking for, I think. The clear original mouthpiece does "click" better, but wobbles once it's on there. The PRO version is a snugger fit, doesn't wobble nearly as much, but you don't get the same click.
As someone else noted, it's good design in case the Pinnacle falls - the mouthpiece will pop off instead of breaking.

I pulled the trigger. I have now had the unit for about a week. Shipping to Cali was fast. UPS had my package in less then 24hrs from when I placed the order and I received everything the next day.
After unboxing I was immediately pleased with the look and size of the pro. Small enough to fit in my pocket and stealthy enough to sneak rips. I started charging right away and refrained from testing the unit until the first charge had finished. Took at least 3hrs.
This is my first portable loose leaf vape. I have been vaping for over ten years almost never burn as I am allergic to smoke so I am no stranger to vaporizing. I packed a bullet pretty full. Probably too full. Slapped on the mouth piece and it felt super loose and jinky. Tried the 1st setting and didn't get anything. Setting 2 I could taste something but didn't see anything after exhale. Level 3 worked and I was pulling wispy clouds. Flavor was pretty bad. Was worried I wasn't going to be happy with my purchase. Decided to call it a night and start fresh the next day.
The next day I decided to only medicate with the pro to test the effects. I packed another bullet and this time I didn't fill it so tightly. Popped it in and went straight to setting three. Decided to use the pong instead of the regular mp. The pong also attached very loosely. Waited about 30 seconds after the unit reached temp before pulling. Didn't get any vapor for the first few rips. Then I started to get mild vapor. The longer I ripped the thicker the clouds got. I would say that five minutes into the bowl I was starting to become impressed. Then after 8 minutes the bowl stopped hitting. I thought it was done then saw the LEDs were off and the unit turned it self off. I turned it back on to 3 and tried to pull right away but got nothing. Waited for it to finish heating up and tried again but still nothing. Dumped the bullet directly into my bare hand and it was fucking hot. The vape trash was much darker then I am used to seeing. At this point I could feel the effects and was starting to feel better about my purchase.
Then I tried BHO with the fmj and the wt. The pro needed to be set on the highest setting to get anything. This made it so hot that you would almost have to have the wt to protect your lips. I think the wt created too much air restriction. The clouds from the BHO were not very thick. I bought this for loose leaf so I wasn't disappointed. I was definitely medicated from the BHO and happy this vape was capable of doing flowers or oils.
I have now taken the pro out around the town. Bars, concerts, and other public venues. I am not sure but don't think the smell has been noticed. I have asked people and they said they couldn't smell anything. I used it next to security and even exhaled in their direction to test their reactions. They didn't blink an eye. I dropped one of the bullets on the floor of a crowded concert and was happy to somehow find it. Those things are small.
I have not had the battery let me down yet. Taking a total of four packed bullets with me and never needing them all because I get too medicated.
The more I use it the happier I become with my purchase. The clouds keep getting better and better. Maybe I have learned how to pack it and pull on it better? When I start it up now I wait an extra two minutes after it heats up to begin. I think that helps. I am able to get an okay cloud off the first hit.
The flavor is definitely the biggest draw back. The auto shut off needs to either be longer, or give a warning so the bowl doesn't go too cold. They should at least sell a car chargers.
I have let my girlfriend and her brother try it and they were impressed. My friend Chris (who makes really nice table top vaporizers) didn't seem impressed but I don't think he gave it enough of a chance.
I am being super critical. Over all I think my purchase was a good one and I received a good value for the price. I'm sure I will get more then my moneys worth out of it and look forward to going to many more concerts, bars, and other public outings with my pro.

Wow, good post!
I find it best to wait a full minute before I start vaping for the bullet/herb to get fully heated. Also, try a really fine grind and loose pack on your herb.

Thanks bud. I am grateful for these forums and happy to contribute. Thinking about making a video using the pro with BHO.

upload picture to imgur.com and copy the "BBcode" and paste it here.
I, for one, would love to see it!

Thanks for posting that! I bought one off eBay a while back and never found much use for it.
Even before I clicked on the link you posted I grabbed mine and tried it, and found it was the same one. If you use the oil cup under the bullet as a spacer it fits perfectly, doesn't move at all.
This is perfect for travel without the wt/case, much more pocket-friendly!

Got my replacement Pro today (1st one had some sort of issue with the internal components) and the button seems 2x as recessed as it was on my last one. Like, its REALLY down there. This is a good thing in my mind as it will be even less likely that it would go off in my pocket/backpack when I don't want it too. No scuffs or chips like the other one, and so far, no red scrolling lights!
Ordered a 14mm to 18mm glass adapter on ebay so I can hook it up to my Matrix. Pretty pumped to be back in the game after a week without it.
Photo is pretty small but I get the gist. Very clever! Nice work Woodduck! (I take it you are a woodworker?)

Here are the top and side views of my bullet reloading station. It is just a 3/8" hole with a slight flare in a piece of wood. To remove the bullet, just tap the bottom of the screen.

Hehe yep, my pro and copy of gta are being delivered tomorrow. S'gonna be a good Tuesday!
Back on topic, so is the general consensus that a loose pack works best? or does anyone disagree?

I'm jealous about GTA V.
I tamp mine a little bit, but nowhere near a tight pack. Just enough so the herb doesn't spill out if I set the bullet on its side.

with the og pn I tamped it down for a while, first filled it up to where the curve starts and then I
put a domed screen ontop and pushed down with the pointy part of the pipe tool until one/third of
the original volume.
It gave me great clouds, a bit harder to pull but the oddest thing was that this way I got much much
more oil residu or buildup on my mp screen, many times faster and more than without the screen.
Don't know why.
It sure looked good for reclaimers who vape those coton balls in the solo.

Mine is slightly different in that my container cap has male threads. This allows the cap to be plugged avoiding the need for the oil container. In the picture below, I tried to line everything up to show that the bottom of the bullet exactly aligns with the bottom of the container, and the top of the bullet aligns exactly with the plug in the cap.Thanks for posting that!

Do you have a product link? Also, is there any hollow space above the male threading; does the bullet stay in place without shaking/rattling/spilling herb?Mine is slightly different in that my container cap has male threads.

Here is the link:
http://amzn.com/B002EZT9S8
There is hollow space in the cap above the threads so the plug fills that volume also. There is no side to side movement due to the fact that the inner container diameter is exactly the same as the flare on the bullet. If you plug the cap, there is zero play in the up and down direction. Without the plug, the bullet would travel up into the cap. To summarize, with the plug, everything is perfect, zero movement in any direction.
So, how do I get a larger image when I post? The picture on imgur.com seems to be full size, so I am not sure why it is so small when I post. TIA

I did a good cleaning of the heater parts yesterday, what a chore, 2 iso dampened qtips for the floor of the heater, 3 qtips table salt and iso for the one bullet I been using, a little tap water rinsing of the bullet and then a.... I just kinda got bake. 
The water tool is small and easy enough to swish it out with iso once a day so it's staying clean more or less.
The water tool is small and easy enough to swish it out with iso once a day so it's staying clean more or less.the PN PRO blows out clouds with the WT on level 3, but when using with iso oil takes a long time to heat and wispey hits. one bowl of bud of the PN pro thats probally the same size as the solo bowl, the PN PRO + WT finishes 1 9mm bullet in like 5 minutes total of usage compared to a solo thats like 10 minutes a bowl. the PN PRO makes me feel so much more baked then the solo with a regular bubbler. the PN PRO also reeks alot more then the solo. the smell is light on 1 if no WT reeks when 3 + WT.

I had a weird issue today, I was showing my friend the PNP today and it decided to not turn on. I held the button, pressed it multiple times, but nothing. After 2 minuets of trying it decided to turn on and worked, but it did the same thing all over again later when I tried to use it. It seems to be working fine now though

Maybe a button alignment issue?

This probably isn't your issue, but when I first got it I was having a problem because I was trying to turn it on by holding the button in. But it just takes a quick press to turn it on. Holding it in is what turns it off.
