Davinci is a company based in Las Vegas and for years, it has been offering innovation and high quality through its products. The Davinci Ascent is a portable conduction vaporizer that offers great features such as precise temperature control and solid vapor quality. The unit comes with a spacious bowl that will allow you to enjoy long vaping sessions. The best thing about the Ascent is that it provides extensive battery life so you can use it continuously for over an hour. However, in order to charge it completely, you may need to allow up to 5 hours.
The vape is designed to work well with essential oils, but would require a lot of cleaning if used this way. The OLED screen comes with plus and minus buttons that allow you to set up the exact temperature that you want to get greater control over your experience. You can buy the Davinci Ascent Vaporizer bundle for $199 and you will receive glass Stems, wall charger, glass oil jars, metal pick and a carrying bag. Although the vaporizer has been around for some time already, it is still a good option to consider.
Design and Portability
The Ascent is known for its simple, yet appealing design. It is almost the same size as a mobile phone so you can easily carry it in your pocket or handbag. When you are not using the vaporizer, you can store the glass stem back into the unit without hassle. The flip out bottom allows you to load and unload the Ascent, no matter where you are. The vaporizer weighs around 190 grams, which is considerably more than some of the lightest options available in the market such as the Pax 2 (less than 100 grams) and the Firefly 2, which weights less than 150. The Ascent offers sleek appearance and you can choose from a wide variety of styles.
Features
When it comes to temperature control, the Ascent is a great choice since its glass lined ceramic heating element that offers accurate temp control up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit. The unit heats up in about 50 seconds, which is the same time that you would normally get from devices of the same category. Although it is marketed as a convection vaporizer, in reality, it works more like an conduction unit since the vaping material is in direct contact with the bowl. The glass vapor path uses two internal glass sleeves that fit each other securely. To facilitate cleaning, it is possible to remove both glass sleeves.
It should be noted that the Ascent offers a large chamber, which can be practical when you to enjoy your session for longer. However, if you want to save vaping materials, you can mix your basic oils or concentrates with glass flowers to fill the chamber to get better heat distribution. As previously mentioned, the battery life is quite good for a portable vaporizer. The Ascent uses two lithium-Ion batteries that can’t be removed and in general, you can expect up to 90 minutes of continuous use. In some cases, this is increased to 2 or 3 hours, depending on the intensity of your vaping sessions. Although Davinci states that the unit takes around 3.5 hours to charge, in our experience, to make sure that it is fully charged, you may need to wait up to 5 hours. The good thing is that the vaporizer can be used while it is being charged.
While the vaporizer doesn’t offer major hassle when it comes to cleaning and maintenance, if you use concentrates or oils, you will need to spend more time cleaning the unit. In other cases, you may only need to clean the vaporizer every 4 sessions and wiping off any residue around the chamber should be enough. It is advisable to carry out a throughout cleaning after 10 or 12 sessions to keep the unit working well. You will need to remove all internal glass components and clean with ISO solution and a cotton swab. Remember to clean well the silicon with ISO.The Ascent offers a warranty of 2 years from the date of purchase. This warranty covers the unit from manufacturing defects or issues with materials. The batteries only come with a 90-day warranty. The warranty of the vaporizer is in line with other devices that offer the same time of coverage.
Conclusion
Overall, the Ascent can be considered as one of the best portable vaporizers available in the market. It is easy to use and offers a good battery life that will carry you out through at least one hour of continuous use. The Ascent heats up quickly, can be cleaned easily and thanks to its simplicity, it is ideal for inexperienced users.
