About this vaporizer
DaVinci Ascent is a portable dry herb vaporizer launched in 2013 that was unusually well-appointed for its time. Its hallmark is a fully glass vapor path made of two interlocking glass sleeves — a rarity in this device class, delivering clean, unadulterated flavor. The glass-lined ceramic heating bowl holds around 0.7 g. Temperature is selected degree by degree via an OLED display with plus and minus buttons, up to a maximum of around 430 °F, or approximately 221 °C. The Ascent is powered by two swappable 18650 batteries. For honest context: although DaVinci marketed it as a convection device at the time, several reviews indicate that the Ascent operates primarily via conduction. It is also an older, now discontinued model that should not be confused with the newer IQ series.

Predominantly conduction. Although DaVinci advertised the Ascent as a convection device, several reviews confirm that the herbs rest against the heated bowl — the heating is therefore primarily contact heat.
Around 430 degrees Fahrenheit, that is about 221 degrees Celsius, adjustable to the exact degree via an OLED display. The exact minimum temperature is not clearly documented in the sources.
Yes. The Ascent is powered by two replaceable 18650 batteries. Real-world runtime is around 60 to 90 minutes, with charging time from empty at about five hours.
No. The Ascent is an older model (launched around 2013), clearly before the IQ series. IQ features such as a zirconium air path, app control or USB-C do not apply to the Ascent.
Its full glass vapor path made from two glass sleeves, which provides a particularly clean, unadulterated flavor — a rarity in this device class in 2013.
