I don't want to have to pay such close attention to the device. I've been following tips on Milaana for months and while I can see some folks are in love, this is not the case for me and it's the first vape I've ever considered selling while still almost new.
As I said, I continue to try. A lot.
I had a very hot Milaana 1. Took some getting used to, but it becomes totally second nature. Imagine you're taking a turn in a car. You obviously don't hold the exact same angle through the duration of the turn, you're constantly adjusting through the turn, until you complete the turn. While doing that though, once you're an avid driver, you aren't constantly thinking in your head how you're going to make the adjustments, they just happen. It is completely automatic. The same becomes true with an unregulated vape. Muscle memory takes over, and you take the feedback automatically instead of consciously. Takes some time but it's worth it for me. I absolutely love my Milaanas.
Everyone is different, maybe it's not for you and that's okay. Hopefully you hit your sweet spot so you can enjoy it

To address some other concerns I've seen from other users...
Hotspotting is usually a result of packing too full so your herb is too close to the heater and too dense for the air to pass through uniformly. Try grinding a bit more coarse and loosening up the load. Variables contributing to hotspotting: size of the load, pack of the load, how fine the grind is, how fast you pull.
If the vape is too hot, try giving it less of a warmup. Start inhaling right off the bat and let off before the feedback tells you it's too hot, as it's clearly ramping up too quickly for your perceived feedback. RIDE THE HEAT. You don't need to be pressing the trigger down to get vapor...it is a large surface area heater. Once the vape is at a temp, let off the trigger and continue your draw. This is an excellent technique for sippers. Press the button, inhale, wait until it feels hot, let off, continue to inhale for 5 seconds or so. I've seen vapor coming for 7 seconds or so after letting off the trigger on my other Milaanas.
If the vape is too cool, slow down your draw and give it a longer preheat. Do two hits in quick succession. Your first hit is the primer...it heats up the vape and dries the herb. You don't need to go all in on the first rip...prime the vape and the herb. Use hit 2 as your gauge, as once the vape is heated, your herb is warm and dry, then it'll be more consistent.
Unfortunately I don't have a Milaana 3 so I can't speak on this particular vape, but I've used the OG Milaana, three milaana 1s, and a Milaana 2, as well as all the Splinters. There's a lot of variables to take into consideration, move one or two at a time, check results, and take it from there.
In the end, I don't even give it a thought. I pack the herb not too much to the brim, I pack it lightly with a small tamp to keep it in place. The herb is not a powder, I allow air to flow through freely. I place the stem in, give it a second or so, inhale, and let off and back on to keep a steady temp once it's at a temp I like. The more sensitive the heater is, the more time you have before you need to press it. My OG milaana ran very cold...which means if I let off the button once it got a bit hot, I would have to press the button again within a fraction of a second or the heat would fall off too far and not be able to build up as it fought my inhale. With my hotter milaana, I could take off the trigger for a full second, ride the heat, and press the trigger again which would nearly instantly fire back up to a workable temp. So you can actually have some more wiggle room on the trigger with a hotter milaana 3.
Anyway, if I get a milaana 3 in the future, I'll be able to talk from experience
