High heater for me. I pack the bowl using the straw technique, which I find doesn’t over pack or pack too tightly. Usually a 5-6sec preheat and a semi fast (3x faster than Arizer) pull for about 10sec. Pretty much fully extracted.
The Toad is pretty much my end all device at this point. Above...
So it’s been about a week. Using the Toad (#91) exclusively. Love this thing! Took a few bowls to really figure it out. Talking with Dan, I explained how I used my dynavap and he suggested the high heater and boy was he on point! Full extraction with the high oven in one tasty hit. Surprisingly...

I charged it over night, sat down to see how many clicks I can actually get and got 3 before it died. I did pm, like a rambling g idiot. LoL! I think I have it sorted.
if you’re looking for the best option, the Koppla is cheap and well made.
