Vaporising temperatures

[Psychoid]

Hello everybody!

I am very excited tonight because I just received my V-Tower Extreme from Arizer, which I've been waiting for 3 weeks. I am going to give it a try tomorrow after work (well in fact today, depends where you livre, 0:48 here), with some high quality weed.

But I would like experienced vapor-inhalers to give me advice for the best temperature to set my vaporiser on please.

Thanks

Congratulations!

There are two models of the unit and the heat sensor is in a different place, so you will have to play with it a bit to get the right temperature.

Mine is the unit that goes up to 260C, and a suitable temperature is about 220 for me.

If the vapor makes you cough, lower the temperature until it doesn't. With the vaporizer I use this is usually around 210 degrees Celsius. Lower temperatures will release less THC.

Don't throw away the spent remains. Collect it and make weed butter. I still have to do that myself. I've got about a pound of spent...

I tried cooking with the spent stuff but it doesn't smell right. I ended up extracting it into milk but that was foul so I mixed it with chocolate, and I got it down. It sort of worked and didn't taste too bad. I found it a bit of a waste.

I also tried making some hash but wasn't satisfied.

I am going to reduce to 210, I think I only have it higher because I like to see vapour/smoke coming out of my mouth.

Would be interesting if anyone has any success using the spent stuff.

Right now I throw mine on the lawn

yes, lawn for the spent stuff it is..

SWIM's idea temperature with the volcano is to start under 200c, fill a balloon or two, and gradually work your way up each baloon, the last one being at 230.

Yes, that's what someone who is me also does sometimes. You can really squeeze out a lot of extra vapor if you increase the temperature at the end. But to get a full-fledged instant high (vapor with a balanced mix of THC, CBD and CBN) I think it's best to start off with the temperature set somewhere between 200 and 210 degrees.

Thank you for your answers

I cough and it burns at 210, is there a difference in the needed température between vaporisers? Am I supposed too see the vapor coming out of my mouth?

BTW i got the V-Tower Extreme.

I already love it, so efficient!

Odd, it's my experience that vapor is MUCH stronger then smoke and can make you cough much harder then any smoke. At least with my Ceramic heat vaporizer, and yes I did it at the right temp, just enough to lightly brown the ground cannabis. It certainly matches the experience though, very strong.

At 205 degrees I generally don't cough (at the end I suck in some fresh air to clear my throat) while it did make others cough. So if sucking in some fresh air at the end of each inhalation doesn't help, and especially if your herb gets scorched, lower the temperature until you can keep the vapor in comfortably.

yes definitely at 195+ degrees celcius, there is visible vapour, at least in the volcano.. I dont know how effective your own vaporizer is in heating the product from all sides, or if the heat is only on the bottom making it uneven.

and even in the hottest temperature (230), Pythagoras doesnt cough.. But you have to remember, dont pull strong and fast.. its slow and steady, fill a lot of your lungs, hold it in, slowly breathe out.

good vaporizers can definitely get you way more stoned with same quantity then smoking.. 50% or more of thc is destroyed with combustion (not to mention trail-smoking being wasted while you are not taking a puff and so on). Aristotle can get super stoned whole afternoon and night with 0,5g hash, which before went in a joint in a process that lasted at most 30 mins before wanting the next one

50% or more of thc is destroyed with combustion

That's new to me... Are you sure about this?

It says so in the book 'Hashish' by Robert Connell Clarke, which is a quite good source, and im pretty sure to have read in other places I cant remember anymore (poor memory, guess why haha)

In any case, whatever the exact number is, what is a fact is that Plato says in his own experience its definitely true that with less one can get more stoned when vaporizing, and his slowly decreasing stash and his reasonably intact wallet lately are witness to it

good choice on the v-tower i have the same

I normally set it to 200oc with the bag attached.

Buy the portable battery pack, it makes camping a whole lot more fun.

Has anyone found that the efficiency is a lot greater? If only vaping i use 1/4 compared to bongs.

Love the remote

How do you know when you've taken everything out of your weed? How many baloons do you fill with .2-.3 of hi quality weed? I usually throw away my weed after 2 baloons, am I wasting? Am I supposed to keep smoking until I see no vapor at all?

(vaporisers rule :thumbsup: :unibrow: :rock: :tonqe: )

 

[imagine]

I normally put in about .5 g and get out 5 or 6.

 

[Affirmatory]

Efficiency is definitely greater.

If you've only got a tiny amount, here's a cool trick. When you exhale the vapour, breathe it into one of your bags. You can fill it up and it actually inhale the same vapour twice

The battery sounds fun.

Yes, especially useful if a single lungfull of a substance is worth 10 bucks or more. :wink:

I just smoked my first (half) balloon from the volcano, and I just had to come here and say, this is freaking awesome!!! I set the temperature to 210C and I must say it was like inhaling air..
oh man this is incredible xD finally theres an end to the torturing of my lungs and throat.

 

[Psychoid]

I found that 195 was the best temperature for taste and effect.

EDIT: What fan do you speed the button... uh no I mean... What speed do you put the fan on when making baloons? (that V-Tower is very very effective BTW love it )

That music in my head really is ridiculous

REEDIT: Oh and above 210 there is smoke and it's harsh in the throat and lungs. So I assume it is better to stay to a lower temperature.

And do you let the vaporiser heat for a while? Personally as soon as it gets to my desired temperature I set the fan on the first speed (I suppose I am getting more vapor per baloons this way?) and go on filling 4-5 baloons.


Maybe I should consider spacing my baloons when I want to function cause now I just feel like lying down and surf on the torrents of my consciousness

CHOW! LOVE&PEACE TO EVERYONE!
