All I'm saying is I don't have the same results/effects than you with the device and it's very complicated to apply real measures and discuss performance over them, it's more of a technique and experience/feeling issue OR a device weakness issue (some device can have weak or defective heaters or a seal issue etc; A user here reported not long ago that the device refunctionned well when he changed a used gasket)
For example where should we measure the temperature ? on the heater coil, on it's metal cover, in the center of the herb ? on the chamber "wall", in the aiflow before the herb, after the herb ? the temperatures given are an estimation probably related to the resistance variation of the coil. Even if devices had theremocouples in them one would be effective at a different temp than another dependind on where is placed the sensor and what are the airpath/ volume/ heated mass caracteristics of each device, plus density/ compression /resistance of the material. too many factors. Even for my very effective ball vape I don't put the same temp on the PID dependind on the glass adapter I use as a bowl, on the distance I put the screen , on the size of my grind, on the type of weed I use, even ambient temperature. Only if all this factors are steady I have repeatable results for the same temp.
