I run my temps below scorching and clean up with one(both ends) qtip. For hotter dabs I can see how the sic might be better for cleanup.
Definitely no hot dabs here! And believe me, I'm quite familiar with qtips, buy them by the 1875 pack at Sam's for cleaning my dab station.
No matter what temp you like to dab at, when using the quartz dish, your controller will need to be turned to a higher temp to reach the same temp in the dish as compared with the SiC dish. The SiC just transfers heat much more efficiently. This makes it more difficult to achieve an optimal temp for both flower and concentrate without adjusting between the two, at least ime.
If you like the quartz dish, all good. Just trying to make sure other members realize there were several reasons the quartz dish was phased out.
Keeping temps low, ease of cleaning, less variability in production, etc.
