Hey!
Funny stuff.
Somebody from my local vaporizer community asked me to write little bit about Vapman, and I very quickly moved to this:
And ended with a lot of surprises!
Basically - whole my setting completely changed.
I discovered, that I constantly over-heated.
My temperature is much lower and I don't like when temperature goes up in steps.
Suddenly, my prefered vapor - whole session on the same temperature.
And one second less heating time!
Okey. What we see.
It's temperature scale.
Everything was vaped on the same condition.
Flame - micro, 15mm from jet.
Obviously the same weed - Candy-Land.
In long session: 5 heating/draw cycles - stirring - 4 heating/draw cycles.
Except "Count 9" - it's just 4 heating/draw cycles without stirring.
Only change between sessions - the time of heating - so, basically - the temperature.
Time - I just count. For example total time of "Count 6 Full" is 4.5 seconds.
Way of heating - pulses.
Everything with 2 pulses except "Count 9".
"Count 9" will be in 3 pulses.
Lets take example.
"Count 6 Full" means:
Counting up to "3", shutting torch on beginning of "4".
The heating in 2 pulses, total heating - 4.5 sec.
First heating: 2.25 sec heating - 3 sec pause - 2.25 sec heating.
Draw - 40 sec.
Second heating, third, etc - like first one.
9 heating/draw cycles with stirring after 5th.
"Count 2" means:
Counting up to "2", shutting torch on end of "2".
The heating in 2 pulses, total heating - 2.6 sec.
First heating: 1.3 sec heating - 3 sec pause - 1.3 sec heating.
Draw - 40 sec.
Second heating, etc - like first one.
9 heating/draw cycles with stirring after 5th.
Okey. Surprises!!!
1.
From "Count 4" (very fresh "low temp") and all samples up to "Count 9" - the same strengh of high.
The whole difference - only in the type of high, but the same powerful effect.
Probably, reason to that:
THC levels climb with temperature.
More temperature - more THC extractions.
On 200C you get more THC, than on 180C.
But with rise of temperature you also get bigger and bigger portion of CBD, CBN, CBG and other "THC-reducers".
It's kind of balanced already from light brown Low-Temp, I repeat, - in long-session!
So, the difference of high - only in type, that moves from
amazing Psychedelic Low-Temp on "Count 4",
to Creepy Low Temp on "Count 5",
to Focused Clear-Mind High, that mixed with "reasonable" Psychedelia, on "Count 6",
to pure Focused Clear-Mind High on "Count 6.5" and "Count 7",
to Out of Space Dumb High on "Count 7.5" and "Count 9".
"Count 8" works differently, I'll back to that later.
So! The strengh almost the same.
It's not "stronger high with highest temperature".
So, basically I got somehow advice
“find you preferred type of high,
find comfortable way how to count your time
and then discover special sighs, that you not pass you temperature level.
The strengh of high - it's not what you need to care".
I already recognise the taste, than it too much heat.
Also the small vapor that goes from mid-section, when it goes to "good temperatures" - my temperature little bit below.
2.
"Count 8". Cold Start - only for special occasion.
Cold Start it's in lines between "Count 7.5" and "Count 9".
What it means: you watch movie, or talking with somebody - you make long pauses between draws - Vampan gets out of operation temperature.
So, If I see, that I make big pauses, but I still want that long session effect, I move to "Count 8" - 2 pulses of 3 second each, 6 seconds in total.
But, if I repeat immediately and will make again "Count 8" - I will combust.
I need go back to my regular count.
So, it usefull, if I need to make puff once in a while or couple minutes between.
To talk to people - like joint experience - not to get out of conversation for 10 minutes.
Or even to pack full bowl and take a hit once a while during the day.
"Cold Start" catch - it's too aggressive for terpens, you get little bit of end-session taste from first hit.
So, for me in regular session it is out.
3.
The quickest extraction is the "3 pulses". "Count 9".
Counting up to "3", shutting torch on end of "3".
The heating in 3 pulses, total heating - 2.6 sec.
First heating: 1.3 sec heating - 3 sec pause - 1.3 sec heating.
Draw - 40 sec.
Second heating, etc - like first one.
ONLY 4 heating/draw cycles without stirring.
4.
If you put bigger dose, than your regular - to get the same results and temperature levels you need to add time for heating.
If my regular dose I heat 4.5 seconds total, then I put 1.5 dose I heat already 5.25 seconds total.
5.
Very important to make decent pauses between pulses.
Heat-distribution takes time.
1 sec it's not enough.
It's more around 3 sec.
