Haha kinda true. All my daytime posts I’m at work and don’t have the unit so I’m just going off what I did the night before. Sitting in court you get a lot of down time.
@Magistra well what you need to remember is the following:
This is a convention vape. You do not sip it like a conduction vape. One of the most important factors it’s your draw. You need to draw for about the full 10 seconds. It cannot be a soft draw. It needs to be a hard draw. You need to hear the air flowing through the intake valve. Think about this vape like hitting a bong. Yes I’m still using that reference. Press button. Let it heat up. Take draw. Release button and inhale for an extra 2-3 seconds can be quick or slow just to clear out the chamber like you would with a bong. It’s not too complicated when you get use to it. It’s like driving a manual car. Took me about 2 weeks to finally get 4 days of consistent draws. Just gotta pull hard with your mouth. Sometimes when I draw I’ll pull hard for 5 seconds and then lightly draw for 1-2 and then start pulling hard again. When I do that on a fresh bowl I usually get a crap ton of vapour at 365F. Last time I did it, I coughed hard twice in a row. As for packing you’ll want to do a very light tamp. Like barely anything. Just to even everything out. You will also need to fill the whole pod for best results. But it’s okay cause you don’t have to vape it all in one day. Like I’ve been saying I’ve had the 2 same bowls going for 4 days. I hope this helps. This is the most basic way I can explain to use this device. I think DJsleepy would agree. Earlier we all were complicated it. And never double button press. If you do, you deserve to be slapped. You’ll cause way more problems than good. I’m serious. Stay away.
My abv on one bowl of the 4 day session was almost perfectly even brown. Was amazing. Didn’t take pics. Tired of the imgur crap. I took a lot of time and effort making my precious posts. My second bowl, did not look as good. But since it was 4 days old tasted like crap.
Thanks Gin, your posts were so helpful to me in choosing the Square. I like to microdose, not get too high and I have kids around, so repacking the Solo at the beach was not going to happen, and I was ending up using disposable oil pens from the dispensary, which aren’t as nice (obviously) as raw flowers. I’m thinking I can pack two bowls of sativa and two indicas and be set for the week.
It’s been 25+ years since I hit a bong HAHA I’ll have to practice!
Other tips I recall are about the fine grind. Do I really need a MFLB grinder? I’ve been lazy and just stuff whole buds in my Solo. Not the Most efficient, I know, as half my abv is often still greenish. I wonder if there is a good electric one that could rip through an 1/8–1/4 quickly. Ones I’ve looked at seem like the get gunked up and you lose Kief. I have two rather normal type metal 4 piece grinders already, and like to keep it simple.
So:
Check the coil is flat
Fine grind
Dry herbs
Full bowl, lightly packed
Single button push
Learn proper draw
Finish whole tray before cleaning/reloading
