Hi everyone. I just got a Crafty vaporizer (first vaporizer for me) and after 2 sessions I am a bit disappointed.
For the sessions I used an (almost) full oven of Lemon Haze. After the sessions I was barely or not high at all, I normally use less stuff in a normal joint and get more high than this. My temperatures were 190°C (374°F) and a boost temp of 200°C (392°F) that I set at the end of the session. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
OK first of all an "almost" full oven will not work as well as a full oven or half oven with a "liquid" pad.
it takes a little practice to get it just right but I grind pretty fine a pinky tip size bud and pack it into the oven. You do not want to use too much or pack it too hard because this will reduce the flow of vapor.
MAX temp? I do not agree I find that too hot and irritating to the lung. Personally I use 374°F and a 15 degree boost which I use rarely. I heat the bowl and start hitting the crafty. hit it hard try to get the light to change from green to red. it will take one or two HITS to get it going. The Flavor will be best at this point as well it should have an almost menthol/pinesol sort of flavor thats the terpines. keep hitting it. as you hit it you are moving hot air into the oven this releases the vapor and if you continue to hit it it will continue to produce vapor.
Some people insist that a good hit deserves a COUGH. the act of coughing can give you a rush. so once you have had 5-8-10 good solid hits you can then hit the BOOST this will heat the oven up and the higher temp terpines will be released.
IMHO higher temps may produce a better high. or MAYBE NOT! Depends on you.
I may not be a good example. I toss ABV. I do not like HIGH TEMPS because the Crafty is not the best at cooling the vapor so it can be hot enough to irritate my lungs and make me cough. So I rarely go over 375F.
Like I said hit it hard and continue untill you get at least 5 hits bit as many as 10...
After a while vapor will no longer be produced at 375. Turn it up to get more BUT be prepared for crappier tasting vapor at this point.
Have fun. do not give up HIT IT HARD!!
