It's April 20th, and i just discovered this thread. Very nice, tdavie; thanks much!
Sry those numbers are in Celsius. Ive never gone lower than 185 so i'm not sure what effect you would get. But to me 185-190 is more euphoric and to me the perfect temp to start out with. Obviously with higher temps your going to start to release more cannaboids which will give you a more stoned feeling. I just ripped my Extreme with some Blue Dream I got here in LA on Sunset which is a sativa and im at 190 and feeling pretty damn good! The cool thing is that you can rip it at 190, then turn ur vape off till ur next sesh and crank it to 200-205 and see what kind of effect you get.saeton said:any differences in those temps that you've noticed?
what ranges do you mean for lower and higher (like 160-180, 190-220 c)?
i think tryin to figure out the temps for that dial would be hard to get accurate. your best bet would be to use a laser temp gun to get your temp. im just not sure where you would point the laser into the heater cover...? the surface of the heater cover would be hotter than the air i would think.audiodelic said:what about a vaporizer like da buddha? Does anyone have an approximate temperature scale of the knob from start point to alll the way up.
so that we can have some kind of reference as to where to set the knob at to get approximately close to a particular temperature ?
Thanks Tom, excellent info I'm sure we can all use!!tdavie said:Temperature oC Temperature oF General Effect

As promised, here's the post. Don't read too much into it at the moment, since I'm posting this from work and I'm sure there are corrections to be made. But, in a nutshell if a particular compound had a boiling point of 157C, I attributed it to 160C, since the Extreme that I use can only increment or decrement 5 degrees at a time. I then went and cross referenced each property with each 'assigned' boiling point and put a tick mark in a rough table. When I was finished I was able to enter data for a particular temperature; for example, at 185C there is at least one compound that can contribute a sedative effect. At 140C there are at least 2 compounds that contribute an antiiflammatory effect. There are mistakes in here, I can guarantee that, but I will edit and notate corrections. And yes, vaporization of these compounds emeshed in an organic matrix is not the same as boiling of pure compounds.
I can offer two general conclusions; if you want an anti inflammatory/analgesic effect, keep your temperatures lower. And if you want a sedative/couchlock effect keep your temperatures higher.
Some more corrections and opinions to come tonight.
Tom

The Ion claims to display the temp at the bowl to within 2 degrees C (maybe even less variance). I have been very pleased with the temp control on this unit and have found it be accurate enough to get different effects out of the herb. If someone were going to test this stuff out, I would currently only recommend the Ion for it.
