SS, is it generally possible (I'm sure it's possible for atleast some of the people) but is it possible to fully extract at high temps and not have a little charring? Not just specific to this vape, I mean convection in general. I get really down on myself trying to get the most perfect uniformed hits, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm just being a little too unrealistic.
Yeah but it is tough, because the herbs that are closest to the heater could get darker than the ones beneath them, you can avoid this by trying not to pack too close to the heater, getting the pack and grind consistency right, along with your draw and power settings, it's definitely possible, though not necessarily that easy! When I am doing one hitter bowls through water, it is usually at level 5 to 6, medium fine consistent grind if possible, filling the basket but not up to the edge of the wpa stem... Even like this I am often getting darker top, maybe not the most even extraction, but more thorough this way, similar to using my tetra and splinterZ and log vapes. I just think it is tricky, it takes a while to really hone in for optimal performance, but I think the point is it's not even necessary... Like it is possible, you're not necessarily being unrealistic, however you certainly should not be hard on yourself! It's not that important, but yeah this is why I like to do one hitter bowls for high temp quick extractions, loading less, because then you don't have to worry about it being a thorough even extraction, it's okay to have the top be a little darker than the bottom, because with a vape like this (and those other two) the extraction is fully thorough, having some darker and lighter bits does not really matter, if you were to load it in something else you wouldn't get anything useful out of it, so yeah I think you're getting good full extraction and you are not helping yourself by being OCD about the uniformedness of the extraction imo though I know it is not something that is easy to control for yourself! Good luck bud
