If the ceramic around the heater is getting hot to the touch, it's working fine most likely (the heater). I think a misaligned heater would give you vapor and a hot spot.
That points towards the nut not being set properly as my first guess. When you seat the nut, mine can rock back and forth just a little bit, but being off just a little can really change the experience. There were photos earlier in the thread pointing at this and what to look for. Some days I can drop in in and it falls into place on its own, others, I have to play for a second to seat it.
The other thing that caught me by surprise at the beginning, is how large of a draw it took to get things moving. It's a time vs strength of draw balance, the longer the draw, the less force it needs to produce vapor, and vice versa.

check out this post, the first couple of pics show what I would consider an exaggerated situation for the sake of explanation.
Just some visuals for those who are wondering how to properly line up the bowl.

*In case anyone is interested, the background was one of my kilts, the tartan is "Auld Scotland". I hope a dick shaped vape under a kilt doesn't get lost on anyone. LMFAO
For some reason, when editing the above post, it wouldn't let me add the quoted post.....
