Hi all, I recently purchased a Dynavap and Vrod with Auber RDK300B controller and glass bowl. I've been really loving my Dynavap (in comparison to what I've previously used; an Arizer air, V Tower, MFLB, Herbalaire, and some others but those less frequently) but am having a tough time finding the appropriate settings and subtleties that would have me enjoying the Vrod as much as I'd expect.
I started at 625 and with a fast draw speed I noticed a dark ring appear around the outside of the bowl after only a few hits; continuing without stirring would scorch this part of the bowl and create an awful taste. A slower draw would more evenly vape the top of the bowl, but frequent stirring (every 1-2 hits) is required for my bowls to not cook completely on the top and be partially green on the bottom. I turned my temp down as low as 595 (as I am aware these settings seem to be different from user/user) and though the flavor is passable (closer to the flavor I get from my Arizer Air) it still tends to taste a bit burnt AND I struggle quite a bit to get the bowls as dark brown as I would out of my Air. For reference. I drop the Vrod onto the bowl, pull until I see a bit of vapor, then clear. I don't pull excessively long so as to avoid scorching the bowl as I've found that tends to happen when I try to increase the duration of a single hit/keeping draw speed constant. A typical session is probably around .1-.2g and any more than that would be far too close to the heater to even have a prayer of vaporizing correctly.
I have tried using the carb cap and pulling for a bit, feathering, and then removing the entire unit to clear a hit. Though that seems to help, I cannot for the life of me get even close to seeing how folks are able to completely vaporize a bowl with this thing without frequent stirring. As a final note, I've been disappointed by the flavor with the device; even at lower temps it just seems to fry a lot of the terpenes I taste through other vaporizers.
Maybe I need a significantly lower temp? I've gone through a PDF file determining if my coil has an incorrect preset that would make it run hotter or colder than normal; it seems to run just a smidge warmer than normal (says it is 85 when room is 70 deg) but I don't think that is a huge factor here. Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated!
