Sitting out front of this coffee shop with the Milaana in my pocket, a tea on the table and a book in my hand. It's a rainy day and the roof extends about 4 feet from my seat so I have a flowing curtain draped in front of me. It's this sort of stillness which gives one a moment of reflection and self transparency. Everything is right in the world and I appreciate the opportunity to feel this way. Tranquility. Calm Consistency.

Enano is my other main vape. Had a few combustion issues early on with that also (coming from an Arizer air as my first vape back in Dec)
There's a few factors that contribute to a hot, but airy hit.
Grind is much too coarse with lots of space between broken up nugs, allowing the air to move past herb and not through herb. (Always keep in mind air will travel to the path of least resistance..so don't give it an unequal path)
Didn't load enough. The air will go around the herb to your throat instead of through.
Pulling too hard. This makes the air pass through the herb too quickly, which doesn't give it time to soak in the heat. Also cools down the heater, and makes the hot air hit your throat faster.
Bowl is too far away. Not exactly sure what's happening here, but I think the heater needs to be at too high of temperature to vape the herb due to the increased distance, and your throat gets the bad end of that heat.
My recommendation. Don't have the basket (I use basket style, open end facing up), at the very tip of the glass. Push it down maybe 1-2mm so a little rim is showing. Maybe a tad bit more if it's too hot.
Grind up and sprinkle in 3/4-4/5 bowl. Don't push down, hold unit upside down like you would the ENano and connect the stem, then either hold horizontal or hit it inverted still, and the heat will tamp it for you. You can remove the stem (inverted) and check to make sure the heat tamped it. It doesn't need to be a full hit, just a few seconds. The herb should have shrunk a tad bit to be about a 3/4 bowl or a tad more. This will also dry out the herb.
Your next hit won't produce huge vapor. It'll suck the resins and terpenes out first. Don't chase higher temps because the herb isn't producing hugr vapor right away, the herb has to go through its phases first.
So if you don't get huge vapor the first hit, don't ramp it up the second, just take a few and see how it goes. Blow over your phone light too so you can see if the low temps are still producing that clearer vapor.
I pull at probably 15% speed, almost as slow as the flight box.
And don't forget to ride the residual heat!! Sometimes I'm off the throttle more than im on during a hit.
And sometimes I pull hard once I'm off the throttle to finish it off faster.
