Where on the unit are you taking your IR reading? And on which version Cloud?
Directly down the bamboo, at a 185 degree angle which places the beam directly on the first ring in the glass. I'm aware these readings are not going to be totally accurate, but I know what the temperature readings were like on the Cloud before it broke so I am able to use that knowledge to get it relatively back to the same spot as before. This is on an OG ticker.
