Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
As much as I might enjoy "moving my load"
I really just load my stem or gong with whatever amount I feel like using, and if the heater touches then no biggie. At a constant setting of 6.5 on my unit, you get good flavor and thorough extraction after 3-4 hits without any charring at close contact.
Maybe I could do better at finding my zen by making it a more thoughtful session, but I'm lazy and lack motivation
