    I can more then likely keep it below 60 since I am in the desert. I need to get a new meter, I don't think the old spring one is acculturate on the humidity. It amazes me that my thermometer with the humidity gauge usually reads around 40 but outside it can be 10 so it leads me to wonder what is bringing the humidity up in the house. It also makes me wonder hmmmmmmmm is it even accurate, my guess is no.

    I'm relying on a cheap chinese thermistor - I've never tried calibrating it.
    I think I need to calibrate and poke an industrial one in my herb like http://fuckcombustion.com/members/hippie-dickie.924/


    Few sane people will let you get at those receptors inside their heads since it generally involves making holes. OTOH, given resources and care, it's not all that hard to measure some downstream effects without holes. Crude but measurable manifestations of whatever the vapour does using some kind of standard measurement...

    Woodwind player so likely above average control. I use a flashlight to see what's coming out of the herb if I'm not seeing vapour coming out.

    Smoky, tart, acrid, sour, edgy taste completely dominating all those pine clear terpene flavours I enjoy at lower temperatures.
    It did not feel good.

    It sounds like your herb is too dry. Get you some boveda packs, and this should solve your problem. Make sure you break up your bud first before storing it with the boveda. Also, to get all the flavor from your herb to last a while, for those times when you just want to sit back and enjoy all the different subtle flavors, start low(around 220f) then raise the temperature with each puff until you hit 396f-410f. When the vapor gets thins at the high temperature, stir your bowl and extract the rest of the cannabinoids. Peace.

    ^^^Vaping @ higher temps does give the popcorn taste. I actually like it but YMMV. As long as your ABV isn't burned after the session I guess you're not combusting. An that never happens with the volcano on 9(226°C). I hardly vape fresh herbs on 9 tho. I almost always go up in temp to finish at 9. It seems to benefit the effects as well as the taste.

    A little of topic but still.

    I am lookin for a portable vape wich can give me the temp control I have with my volcano. I'm looking into the inhalater (xp) will this do the job?
