Stupid question

[Rigo]

This might sound stupid but as a newbie to vaping, what is an average time to vape a herb until it’s done?

I have an Arizer Argo and loosely pack the glass tube about half of the tube. I set the temp at 197°C.
Not sure what the normal procedure is ,
Any advice would be appreciated.

That varies greatly on several things, mainly, the quality of the herb, the amount of herb, and the vaporiser.

The quality and quantity of the herb is kinda obvious so I won't go into that. You can have a slow session with a vape like the vapman, or a one hit bong like experience with a ball vape head like the phase3 zx, and anything in between... Your argo is at the slower end of the scale.

Temperature settings, and how (speed, length, frequency, etc) you hit it are other important factors as well

Stupid? Man you haven't seen any of my questions, obviously
The Argo is like a second generation Arizer oven device, if I'm not mistaken. The only Arizer unit I've owned has been an og Air. different form factor but similar performance, with the Argo getting the nod on performance due to the upgraded tech. Definitely good not to overfill the stems of Arizer devices. A lightly packed stem will produce several good hits but not much more. Maybe a session of a couple of minutes?

If your question is really how to know when you’re done, you’ll see that the density of the vapour trails off at the end

As above, you will start to get a good idea when the taste of terps start to disapate and the amount of vapor you breath out is diminishing.

I pack my portable Arizers quite firmly as they are mostly conductive vaporizers. I limit stem capacity with an elevated screen and I do pack stems to 1mm from the top. Takes 10 minutes starting at 400* to use it up.
Was looking at the thread about High IQ vaporists but definitely feel more comfortable with “Stupid Question”.

Depending on the vape, 5-10 minutes would be my limit.

This entirely depends on your equipment and you.

There are a number of vapes where I can down a bowl in a single pull: TOAD, Enano, Lotus, dynavap, and others...
There are a number of vapes that are designed to be session vapes, like MiniVap which takes some time to get full extraction from a bowl.
