Howdy,
FWIW I think you meant '...I don't want to read through 80 pages....' as I assume you actually can if you chose to? Ironically threads get longer for this exact reason, which is why it's covered in the ground rules we agreed to:
- Lurk before posting. Please search and read before posting to see if your topic is already covered.
- Read threads before posting in them. Thread rules may be outlined in the first post.
The basic problem I see here is while this guy is a questionalble choice as a first vape, it's definitley not a party vape. The battery and load size are 'all wrong' and the operation geared to a single user.....and an experienced one IMO. It's also not a good 'only vape' IMO, not that everyone shouldn't have a backup, it's just that a lot of compromises were made in it's design that might not make sense in many cases.
!: In general you want fine ground, dry herb packed in to the point it starts to interfere with the draw. Having more in helps with quantity related things and this is a conduction vape, solid contact with the walls is necessary to get good results as it's the only way to transfer heat to the load. How many grams (or fraction in this case) is too subjective to be useful IMO. Make what you've got dry, fine ground and snuggly packed for 'bigger clouds'.
First 3 (I assume you meant 2?): A personal choice, but I take a single fairly long (say 15 second) slow draw when the light changes. Nothing magic here, I think?
3: A widely discussed issue in the appropriate places.... There's some evidence that 5 or 10 seconds is plenty to get most of the effect, I think many of us are holdovers from blazing where other issues were going on that made 'holding the hit' more useful. I'd say the average is maybe a little longer, many of us are actually savoring the experience..... A better question for 'ask FC' perhaps as it's not model specific?
4. Longest battery life comes the way you're using it. Letting it cool between hits simply calls for addtional battery power to replace that heat before the next hit. There's not much battery in that tiny package anyway, my advice is don't waste it. Turn it on, use it, shut it down. Likewise, the decision to scrap the load when production drops off and use battery more effectively with a fresh load is a user judgement hard for another guy to make for you. I tend to not 'milk' the load with Puffit like I might with other vapes....FWIW.
5. What's best for you I don't know. I run mine about 4 IIRC, I'm in it for flavor and don't want to roast stuff. Higher temps get more out faster, add more of the 'heavy components' and eat the battery faster. Again, perhaps a topic for 'ask FC' as it comes up in many models.
Perhaps an insight into how it works might help? When you call for a hit, the heater comes on 'full blast' and heats to the temperature you select (higher temp needs more power and longer time), then power is cut and it starts to cool off. Serious power is only being drawn in the 'heat up to hit' phase.....the total power can be measured in seconds doing that.
