Hello Grass City! This will be the official Ascent thread by DaVinci! Go ahead and post any comments, questions, or discussions you have regarding our vaporizer here! We would be more than happy to answer questions, and exchange little tips and tricks about our vapes!
Curious... I purchased the Davinci Ascent a few weeks ago. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I am not having a good experience. With dry herb, it does not seem to be burning well nor is it providing a good stream of vapor. I have done my research and have watched the videos. Not sure what the deal is... Tried packing less in the chamber, only filling it about half full to see if that was the problem (over packing) and it is still not burning thoroughly. I have tried vaping at different temps. It doesn't seem to want to produce vapor unless it is up to 400 + degrees. And even then, it doesn't produce much vapor at all. I'm pretty disappointed as I spent quite a bit of money after buying all the accessories and what not. Almost $500. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance for any tips that will help make my vaping experience better with the Ascent! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Here's the deal with the Ascent. The way the vape is designed, your bud MUST stay in contact with the internal surface area of the bowl as the only way that the herb will get heated is when it comes in contact with those surface areas. It is, primarily, a conduction based vape. So.............you have two choices. Either fill the bowl up all the way and pack it down or, if you want to vape smaller loads, put weed in bowl. Take the rubber cover off of one of the oil jars, put the empty oil jar on top of the weed (open part of the jar facing up). Push down a bit. Leave oil jar in bowl to act as a spacer. Close bowl and vape. Make sure that you take a VERY slow draw. What happens if you don't do the above is that when you draw, the bud goes flying everywhere inside the bowl and looses contact with the internal surface areas and never gets heated. Please report back after you've tried this and let us know how it worked out.
Hmmm... I will definitely have to try those two options and see what happens. I sure hope it turns out to be that simple and works better than it has been. Should the herb turn to ash when it has been vaped correctly? Also, what is the reason for inhaling slowly? Don't understand that part... I am obviously new to this forum and vaping in general. I really appreciate your feedback!! I will check back in tomorrow and let you know what happens! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
The herb should NEVER turn to ash when vaporizing. It should end anywhere between a golden brown to a dark chocolate but you should never see ash. If there is ash then that is combustion. Inhaling slow means less heat drop from the heating element and gives the air you are inhaling more time in the heating chamber thus keeping everything hotter.
You guys are awesome. It seems to be better already. So appreciate the replies...! 😘 Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
