Am I VAPING IT RIGHT ??? [PICS INCLUDED]

[proxopata]

Hi guys,

recently I got me a vaporizer and I have a couple of questions regarding my use.

To begin with, I do realize this is the cheapest vaporizer there was available on my country's online marketplace. I'm not looking for answers such as this is shit go buy 300$ vaporizer etc.

I would like to know how to get the best bang for my buck

This the vaporizer in question:



It works like that:

You put ground stuff ( I grind it with a grinder) on the heating cup in the middle, attach the 'light bulb part and switch it on.

Here is the imporant thing : temperature regulation knob. It is kind of a knob similar to most volume knobs. The box says the temperature range is 200-230o Celsius.

I assume that the switching on point is the bottom of the range that is 200 celsius. IS THIS ABOUT RIGHT ?

Next after about 2-3 minutes when I start feeling smell of weed being heated up and notice first vapour appearing I attach the rubber whip (hookah style, visible on the photo) .

HERE IS MY OTHER QUESTION: What technique to use while inhaling, Should I try take as fast and strong hit and almost immediately run ouf of breath (I think its bad) or should I take as long and steady hit as possible (about 10-12 seconds) . I noticed that when I take very strong fast hits, some air seems to be escaping through the bottom of the vaporizer base.

Anyway the vaping process lasts some more about 3 or 4. I usually judge the timing by looking at the colour of ALREADY BEEN VAPED.

NEXT QUESTION: this is the image of Already been Vaped used for the purpose of the thread. Note that I switched off the vaporizer a bit earlier than I usually do. Normally there are more bits that are blackish, more like burnt It was the lowest temperature setting possible.



LAST BUT ONE : How would the temperature change influence the whole process?

FINAL QUESTION: How about not inhaling the vape for about the whole duration of 4 or 5 minutes after it begins to vaporize, make sure none is escaping the glass and then try take one big hit ?

Not sure on your vaporiser as I have never used one like that but I will answer your questions as best I can. The only way to tell is to turn it up all the way & see what happens. Worst case you lose 0.2 of bud . When you inhale you should go for long steady draws. I tend to take 8-12 second draws myself & find it satisfying.

Your bud looks vaped fine to me & the way temperature affects bud is far more noticeable in higher end machines where you can set the temperature properly. As it is a basic Chinese made machine find a good setting & stick to it.

Let the vape heat up for a good 5-10 minutes & then add your bud once the plate is hot. Once it has brewed for a minute or two have your first draw. Using the amount of bud you have is good for 4-5 draws.

from the pictures, looks like you may have vaped it right or just a little too hot. Your ABV should be mostly light or medium brown, and should not smell like burned weed - you want a slightly burned popcorn smell. It should not be black. Make sure you grind your product up fine, the more surface area, the better. I prefer longer, controlled hits; causes less irritation to the throat.
