What’s In The Box And How Does It Work
When you open the DaVinci Ascent Portable Vaporizer, you’ll need to charge it. Just plug the charger into the port that is located at the bottom of the unit. Always allow for plenty of time for your new vaporizer to fully charge before you begin using it. It may take up to five hours for your DaVinci Ascent to fully charge, so you’re going to have to be patient.
Once your DaVinci Ascent Portable Vaporizer is fully charged, you can press the power button that is located inside of the glass mouthpiece. Now, an LED-lit screen will light up and welcome you to your new DaVinci Ascent. After the unit powers up, you can then see that the glass-lined ceramic bowl starts heating up.
For this reason, it’s suggested that before loading the herbs you’re going to use in your unit, you have the unit off. Don’t turn it on until the unit is loaded and fully charged. It will heat up quickly, and you’ll want to be prepared.
After you’ve loaded the bowl, turn the switch back on so that the unit begins to heat up.
It’s suggested that you don’t fill the bowl more than halfway full as it will conduct the heat and energy. If you’re going to be using concentrates, you can just drop in the desired amount of concentrate into the jar for oil and set this in the bowl.
After you’ve properly prepared and loaded the container, simply switch the heater unit back on by pressing the setting button as well as the + button. You’ll now see the thermometer light up on the LED screen. This way, you’ll know that the unit is properly heating up.
Temperature Settings
If you need to adjust the temperature, you can just press the + or the – buttons to adjust the temperature up or down. The LED will alert you to what the temperature setting is at any given time. Whether you have a portable vaporizer or a tabletop vaporizer, the temperature setting is important to provide the proper vapor production.
While your unit is heating up, you can prepare to do your vaping by pulling the retractable glass mouthpiece out and waiting for the proper temperature. It’s that simple. You may have to use it with the pick the first few times as it sits tightly in the port. You may also use it without having extended the mouthpiece. However, that’s a personal choice. Most people prefer to use it with the mouthpiece.
Maintenance
Cleaning your DaVinci Ascent Portable Vaporizer is easy. All you have to do is remove the retractable mouthpiece from the unit and the inner glass piece that is a straw. You can find this when you open the hinge. Soak them in isopropyl alcohol. You will also do this with your oil jars if you’re using oils.

- Many patients have also complained that the jars of oil can leak causing the unit to become difficult to open and close.

- Always remove the jar as soon as you’re finished and begin your cleaning process as soon as possible so that you can keep it in top working condition. Never use the DaVinci Ascent Portable Vaporizer in any other fashion than described to ensure your safety
