What's up all! So I have been writing out an article on how temps work with the flowerpot. I know yall are what we'd consider experts, but if you can look at it from the point of view of a beginner that has just bought one, I think that would be ideal.
I'll park this here for now, I'd appreciate any feedback if you feel so inclined to contribute. I'll be sure to add any info that is relevant and important to the article.
Thanks in advance!
It's a lot of words and not a lot of information. I'd trim it to this:
Recommended PID Temperatures for Vaping Flower
NewVape recommends a fine grind and a loading tool's scoop full of material [ how much is this in grams? ]
Herbonaut's Best Temperature to Vape Weed explains in detail the science behind the summarized concepts presented below (combined with our own in-lab research).
Recommended Flower Temperatures (from Herbonaut):
- 320-356°F (160-180°C): Very light mostly mental medication and best for flavor (great if you still have a lot to do that day);
- 356-392 (180-200°C): Great flavor with good medication level, bodily effects will be more apparent;
- 392-446°F (200-230°C): Best if you don’t have anything else to do that day, very strong level of medication, heavy bodily effects."
This is the recommended temperature over the flower, which is not the temperature displayed on your PID.
NewVape recommends 650°F on your PID as a starting temperature.
650°F on the PID has been measured to deliver approximately 375-400°F to the flower/bowl.
From there, we recommend you adjust in 10°F increments to your personal preference.
Lower temperatures will have more flavor, higher temperatures will produce more vapor.
Draw Strength
Draw Strength can affect the temperature over the flower.
NewVape recommends a slow-to-medium draw, as comfortable, to best assist in temperature control.
Adding the carb cap while vaping flower will increase draw resistance and aid vapor production. You can alternate use of the carb cap to further curate your experience.
NewVape recommends starting at a low temperature and using a carb cap to aid vapor production.
For those who draw extremely hard and fast, it is possible that you may need to increase temp and use the carb cap for best results.
IMO, 650°F is too hot of a starter temp. I get plenty of vapor at 580°F for the first couple hits, then I'll boost to maybe 620 for one last (smokier) bowl.
