All of them lol I do start low, but it totally depends on the herb and strain, time of day, day of the week, mood, activity etc etc. So all in farrenheit: FuryEdge pods I ride 320 and temp step by ~15, killing it by or before 390, with bent glass stem I start 345 and kill round 400? WPA its 389-430? But I've def don't 420 dry too lol Tetra I am also riding a wave, typically 385, but I will do 375 or 395 depending which side of that I want to lean based on the wide variety of stem options I have for it on top of everything else that varies... in the morning though I am starting at 345 or 365 trying to milk those low temps, or if I want something super quick and thick then I will start on the high temps, and I often finish bowls at 405 415 or 425 when starting at 365 375 385 too so... Yeah a lot of variance, SplinterZ on DNA has me riding 325 to 445 by random increments, often use 389 maybe, while SplinterV2 on TCR has me at 300-390 temp stepping by 10... Sooooo these are all very relative and the TinyMight is no exception to being relative as well! Especially since TM relies on a dial with numbers (analog more like Zion, Evo & LSV, not digital like these others you list) it is hard to reference exactly. Though I have no idea what specific temps they correspond to, I am kind of using the numbers on the dial in a similar way? As you might notice based on my next TM bowls detailed below...
I presume so, I suppose it could have happened sooner since I didn't check, and I haven't stirred any of the bowls --I've gotten lazier with that these days, and the o-ring connections aren't super conducive to it (especially if doing a back-to-back hits session) -- To clarify something, about the o-rings, I find it much easier to insert and remove the stems here than I do in other vapes where I struggle a bit more... Perhaps it is because this is an o-ring with metal instead of wood like the other two I have. A glass on glass connection is still the easiest to remove for stirring, aside from different designs entirely without stems. I did used to be an an advocate for steering since I focus so much on taste, but with my latest vapes and other aspects of my setup, I've fortunately been doing it far less!
Anyway if there are no further questions from the audience
I shall get back to the reviewing, with two other styles of use that are actually pretty exciting. This one is standard:
So last night I removed the basket screen (which I noticed may have been responsible for the more overcooked ring of the edges before, since that was the shallower part of the load) and ground up some nice BruceBanner in my BCG fine without turning it upside down so it was a more medium-course grind (I have to grind upside down a bit to get a consistent medium-fine grind personally) that I sucked up like a straw and then tamped down and even loaded a little more in... I took a small hit upside down at the lowest temp to set the load so no crumbs would fall out of the stem. BTW 2 is the lowest setting, if you set it lower that is actually the safety switch and you can feel a little more of a notch when you turn it to 1. If you try to turn it on at this setting, a different vibration pattern will signal that you are in the safety and I can't turn on the device (not sure what happens if you turn it to 1 while the device is already on?)
I brought the loaded TM to a party instead of an oil pen (I was already quite baked from testing with my previous first basket bowls, and had a small dab at my buddy's before heading out too) and eventually took two nice hits at level 2 followed by another two like a half-hour later. These hits were all mild, light nice taste with thin visible vapor, my other friend definitely smelled it though (for example I vape in movie theaters next to him often and he never notices, but this one he might--could just be that the vapor was in his face, though there also could be something to the stinkier stem with the cooling unit and condensation?) I'm normally pretty careful about blowing vapor upwards above, and I don't think it was a problem after that first hit anyway lol
So then I stepped to 2.5 for another five hits, another five at 3, all maintaining decent flavor with little puff clouds and nice effects as I went home. During the next five hits at 3.5 the flavors fully faded though I pressed on with three more hits at 4, then 4.5, then 5.5 finally to finish I believe... Memory is fuzzy as I went to sleep not too long after! There is a chance I bumped it up higher to see if I could get more, but it was pretty tapped, which can happen when you really milk the low temps in my experience... Aside from the color and late hour, I emptied it based on the hits as it felt pretty extracted to me:
Yeah seems quite well-toasted despite the lighter color, which is common to regulated pure convection (conduction roasts darker). In my opinion, for me, there is no
need to go so dark, though it may have yielded some more slight vapor at the highest settings, it also could have begun to scorch a bit? Black not ash, which I often do see when I finish a bowl at high settings like I mentioned above, though it is actually quite nice to be able to avoid it I think...
Oh and this was with the brand new Sony cell it came with, and after these 30 or so longish hits riding lowest temps, the battery level was at 3.8v exactly (fully charged is 4.2v) for next bowl.
As I may be approaching the character limit on this post, I will detail that next
very exciting bowl in another
oh so thrilling post. Stay tuned and don't touch that dial! (but feel free to post in between so I'm not back to back?)
