Ascension review Gear: WM1Z (Stock setting) ; WM1ZM2 (Stock setting); AuR Ascension (Stock cable, stock tips) Spec: 1DD - 5BA - 2Est Design: Full black resin with holographic texture faceplate, as always shell is big but this time I feel the nozzle is quite bigger, i will let the pictures speak in this part.
