Here I am!
After some problems with shipping, I got my black coney pop-vapor in the mail last week.
I'm not very satisfied at this point, but it's the first time I try a desktop vape like this one so I believe this is due to my inexperience.
First thing I noticed was that the ceramic coil was crooked, so I pushed it with a chopstick through the whole in the glass and straightened it out. I then turned it on and the smell of plastic was immediately very strong. I did two separate 3-hours long burn offs and, after having vaped a bowl through it, it went away.
Actual usage: I've only tried the wand because I'm a bit confused about the other adapters, but I will try it with the plastic whip (which doesn't smell great either) and especially with my bong (I guess with a basket screen?).
The three times I vaped through it I scorched the herbs, tho. At first I was using ground herb, but it was incredibly messy. Then I tried to put a couple medium pinches taken directly from the nug, but they came out scorched on one side and green on the other.
This is my process: I turn the vape on at the 10 o'clock position (the knob is finicky as hell), let it heat up for 10/15 minutes, put the herb in the wand, insert the wand with the vape upside-down, rotate and sip slowly.
I get a couple of wispy and hot clouds, and the ABV comes out light brown and scorched.
Honestly, I stopped experimenting because I felt I was wasting a lot of herb and I can't really afford that atm.
What do you reckon I'm doing wrong? Should I turn the heat down a notch?
Also, based on the foul smell of components and the crooked coil, should I just return the vape and ask that they send me another one?
