Here in the UK prices have recently gone up if anything! Until a week or so ago;
Crafty was £180,
Mighty £220,
Now most places are £220 for Crafty, £280 for Mighty!
I've tried whole nugs vs ground too - ground seems more effective at releasing the goods, but terp flavours may be better whole indeed, as they're released slowly rather than boiling off all in the 1st hit.
I tend to hit at 180° until vapour production tails off, bump up to 195° and repeat, then up to 210° (evenings only) & repeat.
For the most complete releasing of the good stuff, I've actually found a well-packed Dosing Capsule works best. My grind comes out completely uniform & the darkest of browns, no change to draw resistance. Without the dosing capsule, the top of the chamber always seems lighter than the bottom!
Interesting, I never go above 190 on my mighty personally.
A lot of people i've noticed do bump it up and start at a certain temp then graduate to a higher one throughout the session, but
to me I always find the temp that works best for me and just stick with that.
I definitely do agree you get better vapor initially by grinding, but to me the terps boil off very rapidly with fine grind which is the major trade off. (Asides from the convenience of being able to just pop in a nug and vape immediately, which I personally can get white walls on if I run it through a water pipe)
