Well-Known Newb
Hi everyone,
So, I’m not new to cannabis or vaping, but I still feel like a relative newb when using concentrates, and especially quartz for resin/rosin. I started off using a DVT4 with the SiC cup and liked it quite a bit (mostly bottomless banger through a smallish rig). When I started using more concentrate than the v4 tiny cup was good with… I “upgraded” to a 710coils deep dish 25mm setup. And here is where the questions come in, because I keep getting blackened material on the bottom/in the corners of my opaque 25mm quartz that I can’t clean out with hot swabbing with ISO and qtips/glob mobs. What am I doing wrong?
1) Is my controller just running “hot” and using at 420-440 just burning my concentrates at the end of a pull? Can I drop down on a standard 710 controller (it is a Disorderly Conduction box) into the 300s without wasting material, might that help?
2) Is there a better way to keep clean between dabs (at least once a day, sometimes twice or three times a day dabber here) than hotswabbing with ISO?
3) Is deep cleaning with the gently-warmed SimpleGreen (as per 710’s FAQ) the best way to get rid of the blackened material at the bottom?
4) I’ve also tried the soak in 91% ISO and kosher/picking salt, and I’ve always got a bit of blackened stuff hanging in the corners… Better way to do that?
Anyhow, sorry for the dumb questions. I’ve got a brain disease (quite literally, unfortunately), and I feel like I’m getting stupider by the week if not the day. This isn’t rocket science, and I’m an actual scientist (or was, but not rockets) who can’t seem to figure out opaque bottom quartz with an otherwise AWESOME e-rig.
(PS: I have zero problems with 710, their products, their service, or anything else. I’m ordering a deep dish clear bottom and some ruby pearls, and have been enjoying their collab with Straight Glass spinners a lot! It is a far better dabbing experience than my older setup, even if that was cleaner it seems like).
