just got >12 good hits from ~3cc ground old stuff at 342f, turned off+stirred..restarted at 348 + had to go backwards[got smoke] got hits at 346,344,342..off.
the smoke maybe from residue of previous loads. & it seems my aromed signals readiness before it truly is.[i keep a pen cap over the mouthpiece] i think moister pot needs higher temps so it doesnt really make sense to keep dialing up does it? i know it works but whats best+why.
anyroad, i'm nicely high. restirred+ started@342, smoke drove me down to 330. a few hits+restir....326 no good,334 got one,332 another 330-done
another thing is mind/body has to get used to huge lungsful of vapor+o2 you can hold forever vs little lungsful of smoke that u can't necessarily. sounds good+is good, but a whole new thing.
and if u dont taste/feel the good oily stuff in your mouth, ur not getting anything.

re:remains ...anyone made butane hash w/it? maybe mix w/trim?
if not doable,will do some castenada brownies

I usually put in some duff remains and turn it up to 380 and hit that to warm up my aromed bowl and screen. Then I put the fresh in and start at aroun 350. I will have to try to go lower but at 350-360 I get about 15-20 draws with some stirring before the taste is gone. Then I put that away and use it to heat up the next session. If you look at your vap remains with a magnifier u will see there are still crystals on it and good for making butter.
U cant beat the aromed in my opinion.
