Dark brown doesn't indicate full extraction of goods. It's fully extracted when it doesn't easily produce more vapor. Of course you can up the temp to start vaping off more compounds, but that's not what most people do. My AVB is a tannish brown when I dump it. At 650, this is 1, maybe 2 good sized rips of the screen being just covered. Depends on the quality of the flower. Some really good stuff is still slightly sticky/stuck together after the first rip, so you can tell there is more. When stuff is dry and not sticking together, I use that as a signal it's extracted.
Temp in my experience just controls the speed of extraction. At lower temp you might need 3-5 hits to accomplish what 700 does in even one hit. Lots of variables at play so it's hard to give exact figures.
Funny that you mention not wanting to combust. I finally combusted last night after 2 years... in my dreams! Yes, I literally had a dream that I used the VROD and combusted some flower. Nightmare, I guess? But in reality, it's been just about 2 years and I've yet to even come close to combusting. The heat is very evenly distributed within the head, not a focused heating element like some other vapes. I think you'd have to be north of 750 and draw very slow on some already dried product to combust. Too funny that I came here to post this and saw your post!
Has anyone easily combusted otherwise? It happened all the time with my old box/whip vape because the ceramic heater was right in front of the bowl, so dragging was an art. Even noobs don't combust with NV stuff.
