Hey enano hive mind, I have just come into my first bit of shatter. What is my best choice for use?
Do you turn the temp up or down a bit from the usual flower setting?
@hafalump there are a few ways. You can sandwich a dab between some herb and just have at it. A lot of people do the mix, although I find the herb toasts quickly at the slighter higher setting and affects the flavor of the rosin.
You can wrap a piece in some organic cotton or the degummed hemp fiber. I've only used cotton, and after the first hit or two, mash the cotton around with a dab tool and coat those cotton fibers with the melted shatter, then you'll get some massive hits. After a number of hits, I pull the cotton out, pull it apart with my fingers and stuff it back in for maybe one more hit. The used cotton cleans out the glass bowl and you begin again.
Another method I've tried, but can get messy, is using a conc mesh pad. By luck a Fury 2 pad will fit into a nano gong. You have to squeeze it a bit, but you don't need to mess with cutting wire. I thought this would be my favirite way, but you need to clean the pad every now and then and I couldn't find a good way that wasn't a pain in the ass.
For all methods, I generally bump the nano up a half step. I tend to vape flower at 6 and rosin at 6.5, but as you know, each nano varies.
I do the cotton thing in the Fury 2 also. Have fun!
On other note, I wanted to add that I just picked up a new strain called Mandarin Cookies. Before pressing into rosin, I wanted to try the flower. I have a shit ton of vapes here, but immediately went to the nano to get the best flavor profile. No question in my mind. And the fucker delivered.
