I can let this thing heat up till it can barely be held and puff through it for a few minutes and never get anywhere. I guarantee its as saturated with heat as it will get.
I am following the instructions as well as the only youtube video showing it actually being loaded and used and I do not get the same results.
Agreed. You've found a mode that doesn't work the way you want, and are sticking to it. Full points for dedication. To do what you want, what you see others doing, you have to manage heat better. That's what the 3 steps are all about, managing heat not making clouds at first opportunity.
I'm not sure how to put it except doing the same thing over and over is giving you the same results for a reason (or more likely a series of them). I'm not convinced you're getting enough heat. I don't think you're really completing step 1. Not doing so (building up a reserve of heat) means you're using the heat as it's developed (no reserve to call on). A bit like starting your car in gear with the clutch out (now no longer allowed, but once possible), forcing the starter motor to drag the entire car to idle speed rather than just the engine and flywheel. From a standing start the 15 or so Watts available is just not enough.
Again, you're using a low production technique expecting advanced results.
I still question step 1. Are you really saturating the core? How long does that take to happen? Not 'I waited XX seconds and assumed it's done', how many seconds until the core reaches full power and IR is flying around the core at levels that start to mask details of the hot spots......as hot as it'll go and at stable equilibrium. It's just not going to work the way you want without doing that first.
"as saturated with heat as it will get" is not the goal, clearly that's not enough for you. Saturation is making full power in the core, not some subjective result in the body. I suspect the basic problem is right there, your core remains dominated by hot spots (meaning most of it is too cold).
Ever cook Chinese food? If you put the food in a cold wok, add cold oil, put it on the fire and heat it up you get poor results even though it eventually gets 'plenty hot'. Same thing, heat your wok first (step 1) before transferring the heat to the material (step 2)?
I guess I'm just confused.
I guess its just over my head.
I know I am coming off as dense here.
I guess it is what it is.
Thanks again.
Obviously you're confused, I've failed to communicate the idea well enough. I'm sorry, but that obviously happens despite my intent sometimes....... I don't agree it's over your head or somehow your fault, it's just for whatever reason I'm not able to get the idea of intermediate steps that don't involve making vapor being important. We keep coming back to the same point, nothing is changing. I'm not getting traction here for whatever reason.......
You're welcome for the effort of course, but success is the only thing that will feed the bulldog. Perhaps someone else has better words to offer.......time I think to step aside and let them try?
FWIW once again I still think you may well have a battery issue, Cera is extremely demanding on them. You've proven to my satisfaction that battery isn't cutting it the way you're using it? We need to change that somehow to get past step 1 I think.
Good luck with it, it is worth getting right. Hundreds of guys have, it can be done.
Think about that wok........ You're trying to simmer it, we need stir frying. You need more fire, unclear if it's because of hardware (poor quality battery) or software (technique), but counter intuitive as it is it has all the earmarks of not enough heat available at the key time.....bringing us back to step 1 once again.
