Well some people have sharper senses than other and also vivid imaginion
. I can tell the taste by the photo,this color would make your bowl smell like popcorn,which for me is as gross as the smell of combustion. 14 years into vaping i can say that there is zero sense in pushing your abv to that color and smell . If my vapor tastes like shit ,than my inner thingies also will smell like it. It just my brain telling me i should avoid it,everyone has a different one. For me the difference between vaping at reasonable temps vs blackening your herb is as big as the difference between Smoking and Vaping.
If i wanna throw him a friendly advice(said i meant no offence) from an experienced user(who also once pushed his abv to this extent) : explore lower temps.I am not saying temps you get barely visible vapor.. just try it for a while in the 5.5-6.5 range and compare it to high temp extraction,then decide which route makes you feel better.Inspect purity of experience,how you feel after. If you dont like the smell of your bowl after session or the smell of your abv feels nasty ,IMO you are overdoing it.
I get it why recent converts and and guys that vape and smoke at the same time are aiming to that kind of extraction.I find little sense for a seasoned vaporist to go there,unless he has explored everything else and this is the only way that works for him.
I am not trying to be all wise here,but getting temps lower it is a worthy experiment which will benefit to anyones health. Everyone has to decide for himself the ammount of sacrifices he is willing to get in order to get where he wants to be.
