The Basics of Boiling Versus Burning THC boils at much lower temperature (380F) than the cherry in a joint (800F). Flavinoids and Terpenes, the smell and taste of toke begin evaporating and boiling off at about 132F, with water boiling at 212F. Low Heat is Best When Seeking a Buzz Flash-frying herb above 420F immediately creates a thick heavy dense potent toke. Higher temperature burns up a plenty of THC. Keeping within a consistent temperature range is the simplest method to getting gunned (375F/420F). Getting The Best From Wet By boiling a bag just for flavinoids (280 - 300F) once sometimes twice the results will be dramatically better with fresh than attempting to blast the THC free from the nug (410 – 425F). Bone Dry Doobie Drop your temp to 350F & 380F range, and inhale your vapor without a leafy sandstorm in your mouth. From Bubble Bag to Volcano in 4:20 Minutes The metal dish scrubby device works wonders when it comes to sampling just finished full melt hashish. Hash Use the accessory. Sometimes hash will just melt to the canister. Ground it up really good. Then warm up Volcano Vaporizer to 420 - 440F. THC Crystal Keepers Keep Low Heat Crystal is much more tender than bone dry requiring very little heat. Anything in the 360F & 385F.
Very useful information, Matt! Thanks for the writeup. Though I think the temperature "420" is a bit arbitrary... but why not!
I've been using mine around 250-270 and she's been working well. I've got a friend with the same vape that swears by burning it at 370. Does it just vary by preference or is there a temperature that you should always burn at?
we're getting there. little under the weather lately. and didn't want readers to read less than stellar material. no less than 370F. THC boils around 370 - 380F min. i'm also around the forums and available via PM if you have questions.
Question for ya. I have a standard vaporizer that I bought for $150. I've read different sites that give different readings. What I'm wondering is the number that your vaporizer shows, is it in celsius or fahrenheit? If people are recommending 370F, then that's only 188C. My vape setting doesn't even go that low; so I'm wondering, from my own experimenting what I usually set it to is about 220 on the reading. If anyone could clarify whether I am utilizing my vape to its best possible ability by understanding the temperature reading correctly (as in, is the display showing celsius or fahrenheit?) I would be forever grateful since I'm quite meticulous when it comes to my smoking habit.
great read I am going to buy a vape anyware from 6 months to a couple of years but this is on my list... 1) this sick @ss bubbler that I have seen at Venice 2) Vape (something decent in quality and not too expensive) (I know Volconoes are great but for $600 dollars its a high kill if you know what I mean...I bet its worth it but man I dont got the cash for a 600 dollar smoke untencile)
I still like the blunt over the vape but vape is 100% better then a blunt but somestime when I smoke with my cousin each of us only get about 2 hits and then its done with a blunt the weed last so much longer
Dude what kind of vape are you using, I have never used a vape that didn't use less weed to get you high. IMO there's no way a blunt would last longer then if you took the blunt weed and vaped it.
I have a Vaporizer I bought from a local store run by Indians(the India kind). It cost me just $50 and is the typical box setup with a digital display, brand on the packaging reads "Top Vaporizer." I have not been able to find this brand of vaporizer anywhere online or in any other shops, but for $50 it definitely does the job. I set it to about 360 to start and increase it by about 5-10 degrees once it stops hitting as well, thusly giving me a better toke again. Rinse and repeat and I get ripped.
