It ends up dark brown with a few lighter brown specks in it (I'm filling the stem about 1/3 of the way and not packing it down anymore). So I think I am pulling most of the active compounds off of it, I'm just doing it at a low temp. But I want thicker hits.

I can keep cranking the temp up but of course I have to draw faster (or else combustion) but this yields the same results. I don't see the point in doing this since the higher temperature/faster draw are just going to cancel each other out.

I'm not really sure what else to mess with though. In the 10:30-11:30 range I get small amounts of vapor, even when inhaling very slowly. As I reach 12, I'll try drawing a little faster...same results. I'll slow my draw down a bit...same thing. Pull a little slower and it's starting to combust.

Mine is pretty similar to yours then. It turns on around 8 o'clock too. It's just hard to get a hang of because it's so sensitive within the 10:30-11:30 range and it feels like the sweet spot moves around. I'm certainly gonna keep working at it though. I smoked last night for the first time...

I've been packing the material down with the round end of the stirring stick...maybe I am packing it too tightly?

I've had my Buddha a few weeks now and I'm still quite frustrated with it. First of all, I was told I'd get "15-20 thick hits" out of each bowl. For me, it's been either one or the other. I can get 15 hits, but there is barely any vapor on exhale. If I want thicker hits, it'll be about 5-7 per...
