I didn't take a break, but I did change my habits. (2010 VB hands free , still in use)
Vape first, I started with about half what I would use for a normal combustion session.
Then after I have converted everything to ABV,
I combusted the ABV in my tube.
Little by little I combusted less and vaped just a bit more. I found I needed to toast my loads until a nice golden brown to get the effect I was looking for. (stir stir/shake shake, like ya do)
As you get used to the new toy, you will learn the correct temperature, draw speed, pack density and load volume that best suits you. Hell, that's half the fun.
It will all come together one day...just keep at it.
cheers
