@Tonymakkaroni, Hi Tony and Hello to all users on FC!
I hope I can help you about vapor production and more, using IQC vaporizer.
First of all, I apologize for language, which is not my native one.
All I have to say is, I figred out in one week how to properly use IQC, this is my method, and other users might won't like it.
When I learned how to use vaporizer, I must say that it is the most powerfull conduction vaporizer, it gives you a good effect of CBD or THC strains. I have collection of others, Dynavap, PAX, Crafty, Plenty, Flowermate V5.0 Pro, Fury Edge, Aura, and this latest version IQC is the winner with a big margin.
I'm using it with SS pods, I vape with a 5 minute session. I simply turn on IQC with 180C settings, and when vibrates, I play my own created 5 minutes session in MP3, it will remind me with a short sound effect on every 1 minute to pull a 5 seconds draw, so its like a MP3 song where you draw 5 times. You could edit it and extend to 8 minutes if you'd like. The reason I pick this method is that you constantly build up heat in correct and precise timing and you can forget when to pull a draw, just enjoy it by a sound guide.

I have tested 10 seconds draw vs. 5 seconds draw, and a winner by the effect that it gives you is 5 seconds.
I have tested tight pack vs. light tap pack, and the winner by the effect it gives you is light tap pack.
I didn't believe that seconds and tight/light packing affected the cannabis effect itself.
With a light pack you have better draw resistance, so If you pack hard, a draw resistance is bad.
1 minute pause to build up heat between draws is a must for temperature till 180C.
If you vape 200C or more, then you can edit base sound track to 30 seconds between draws.
I'm using this tool, it's better than Davinci tool.
Also, Im using Arizer Air 2 / Solo 2 black curved pipe that fits on silicone water adapter by DAVINCI

DAVINCI said that a pack of herb must be fimrly packed in a pod, but with my experience I don't think so.
Guide to good vapor production and great effect:
- Use a SS or ceramic pod and grind medium (almost fine) herb. Weed must be good quality.
- Fill the stainless steel pod till thread (80% capacity of SS pod) - just tap gently with a packing tool
- Take a big needle and poke through SS pod opening, through the center of weed, so that tiny hole is created (better vapor & draw resistance)
- When a hole is created, screw the SS cap on, put SS pod in the oven that the threaded cap is seen first (pearl goes on threaded SS cap)
- You must check the pearl that it's firmly placed and screwed just till hard to close a lid, so that the lid closes nicely
- If the pearl is NOT correctly screwed that slightly touches SS pod, there is very weak vapor production
- Just fire IQC, wait to reach the temperature, when it vibrates play downloaded track that guides you when to draw / stop and enjoy!
This way I guarantee that vapor production is very good, as the effect of the weed.
It cannot be expected that you vape huge clouds, except if you vape at 200C or even more for more vapor, but then you should use water bong.
So, visible cloud/vapor production is not always an indication that the device is working well. It is an effect it gives you.
You can vape THC at 165C and you can definitely feel that effect with a little vapor production for hours.
I'm using my IQC for a month now, and I am more than happy with it.
It really shines in everything: Elegance, quality build, effect, power and efficiency.
Tony, I hope you'll made it for better
Keep vapin' and kind regards.
