I believe it is important to point out another way of hitting a whip or any vape that goes against what many vaporist say to do. For those that like the full effect of the herb with equal vaporization of CBNs and etc I believe it is important to start out hot rather than starting out low and working up. Think about from this perspective.... if you are starting at a low temp and working your way up, you are not starting to vaporize the CBNs until you get to that higher temp. Considering it takes 3-5 long draws to even get all of the lower vaporizing temperature THC from the herb, then you will also want to get 3-5 long draws that is working just as hard on those CBNs and etc that are extracted at a higher temperature. I run across a big mass of people that state vaporizing doesn't produce the same effect for them as smoking. This could be due partly to not vaping hot enough. I prefer to get the full effects of the herb and when I want a sativa effect I switch herb rather than adjust temperature. It all depends on the individual of what way is best for him. I feel the vapor community sort of ignores those that like the CBNs and the full weed effect.
I'm not understanding what you're saying entirely.
The reason why I say start low then go high is to prevent the lower temp oils from burning and turning carcinogenic as well as help the high overtime because these oils help the cells of the body stay fluid and can absorb more nutrients, in this case cannabinoids. They also add to the high in different ways. You will really feel this affect if you have a highly tasty strain or do some other things with essential oils if your vaporizer can use them. As long as you eat the right foods that can be made in the brain and body, the oils will release them and you will have a nice high off of very little cannabinoids.
Anyway, I just went off topic so if you vape low until around 375f, you can then turn the temp up to 400-410f if you want everything at once as far as CBD and THC. If your herb is green and fresh I doubt that you will have CBN because that is oxidized THC. If you you vape at a high temperature of around 390-396 and don't finish your vape some of the thc will oxidize to CBN which is why I don't think saving it is a good idea and you should finish your session at one sitting.
A lot of herb don't have CBD of course this can vary depending on the way the herb was grown as far as nutrients but what I think a lot of people are feeling is some small amounts of beta-carophyllene which vapes at higher temperatures around 450f but of course smaller amounts will vape at lower temperatures.
As far as getting the best hit from a whip I would advise you to have a small bubbler or something you can attach a whip to but that isn't big like a bong because it will cause you to work too hard and dilute the vapor too much. The water will act as a second lung and help you get a thick vapor with little work.
You want to inhale so slow that you aren't inhaling anything into your lungs. Your mouth is acting as a lung and you fill it up full of vapor. Then you swallow the vapor not inhale. Right after that you inhale through your nose until your lungs are full. Hold the vapor until you can't anymore and exhale through the nose not the mouth because the nose will help absorb the rest of the vapor as well as hitting you faster because the chemicals in the vapor goes straight to your brain while the rest has to circulate through your body which is good but you want to utilize the nose.
If your herb is dry and you don't have any bubblers or anything like that, you can drink some water right before vaping and hold it in your mouth for a few seconds, then vape so you can prevent dry mouth as well as moisturize the vapor to prevent stuffy nose when exhaling through the nose.
Remember it's not about a big cloud it's about potency. A lot of times a big cloud just means diluted vapor because the air mixes with the oils and it gives a thick white cloud but it isn't more potent. Think of whipped cream. It is a liquid of oils and proteins but the more you whip it air gets into it and makes it fluffy and white but it is still the same protein and oil it is just that oxygen and oils love each other and the more air that comes into contact with the oil the bigger it gets. The same with vapor, the more air that comes into contact with the vapor the bigger it gets but it also loses it's potency because it's diluted and your lungs can only hold and process a certain amount. This is why when hash or oils are smoked using charcoal they don't have as much smoke as when the same amount is used in a bong or bubbler. When you inhale hard and fast more oxygen is introduced to the oils in the vapor and puffs it up to look bigger but all you are doing is diluting your smoke/vapor. The question for each person is how much do they want to dilute their vapor and the bigger the tool the more diltuing
The reason why a lot of people like bongs and things that push the smoke/vapor deep into the lungs is because the vapor goes deep into the lungs which activate parasympathetic nerves and give a feeling of relaxation but they are losing a lot of good vapor. This is why I state to go slow because the heat is extracting the vapor and you are bringing just enough air to move the extracted chemicals to your mouth to hold the vapor and once swallowed you can bring in air through the nostrils to send the herb deep into the lungs without diluting it.
If you have a small bubbler or bong that is diffused you won't have to work hard at all because the holes help the water act as lungs and you will get vapor with very little effort.
