Alrightyyy not sure how to start this so will just jump right in:
Watts worked perfectly for me right out of the box as
@Bravesst says. Very good around 26-28W. I started playing around in TC more, since it seems like EVERYONE circlejerks over TC ... somehow arbitrary numbers mean quite a lot? But anyway... I felt it was tuned a little too hot with the default TC settings. I first turned down punch... then turned off preheat altogether, and then started messing with the ohms.... This was before I saw the above post
But I was also getting a "temp protect" message every time I tried firing, until I "resampled" the coil and change the ohm. I didn't feel like messing with turning off temp protect, and although this was a hamfisted way to fix it, I knew it would work, though it remains to be seen how it will work in other modes with this new ohm reading.
Perhaps I should mess around more with it, in escribe, but for now I'll be lazy.
I will say I was surprised both by the weight, and size of the device - both being a bit less than I had expected. It's not awkward or uncomfortable to hold. The action and feel of the wooden buttons is fucking AMAZING, just had to point that out. They are so satisfying to click, coming from a mechanical keyboard user. I also found the vapor from the device to be... surprisingly cool. Having used other convection portables, I was used to the instant dryness they bring with them... This is not as bad with the Elite somehow. I bought an RBT XL8R jr and a large XL8R to use when I got my Elite, and I actually can never see myself using the large one based on my sessions last night, and decided to put it up for sale on entexchange before I even went to bed lol.
While last night I was mostly fucking around and dialing things in, so I didn't count my bowls exactly, but I got upwards of 10. I want to say 12~14 but I didn't actually count, so I can't say. I got my 30Qs WITH my device though, so these are quite fresh batteries. This morning I have done 4 bowls and am at 75% battery.
This morning is when I dropped the ohms, and have been having a much more relaxed session. My main issue last night was with hotspotting, from drawing too fast, because the heat was too much. I seem to have fixed that, for now. Here's a bowl I temp stepped:
395F:
415F:
425F:
Since this bowl, I bumped the ohms a bit more. This was at .29x - I think .305 is where I have decided to settle after a few more bowls.
edit:
Another fucking AWESOME thing about this device is... unlike other convection, stem-based vapes, where if the herb falls down, it can get lodged under the female glass joint, and the heater screen... well.. NOT AN ISSUE here. The joint is so pristine that it sits directly on top of the screen. Short of a a dust sized fleck creeping thru the screen, there's not much of a way for herb to get stuck in or around the heater.
easy on Herbie , and @HerbieVonVapster , don't tell muunch how to use his Vape, he had a bad case of the munchies near the end, no ones fault hahah Congratulations on your new Lil'Bud Elite.
