I find that the drier the bud, the lower the optimal temperature.

If the herb has more moisture content, you just have to vape off the water vapor first. Just makes for a little longer session.


im trying to find that perfect sweet spot temperature for my brand new vape.. You have to find it on your particular vape. Even identical units can vary, especially in the lower price range.

i know to high of a temp will just cook allll the erb right up,, so i try to stay on a lower seting.. but is there to low of a vaping temp where the active ingredient isnt even released into the vapor??

220-240F
Too low. THC begins to vaporize around 285 F and you get efficient vaporization without toxins at about 365 F. If you've got a digital display and you're getting good vapor when the box says 220-240 F, use the display for a reference, but don't believe the numbers.

ya, ive tried various temp all the way up over 300, i found that even temperatures such as 250 would cook the erb off way to fast... and have found that around 220-240 are pritty descent hits and cooks it a little bit slower.....

thc is released at the optimum temp of 180c there were tests done which showed thc to be released from a temp of as low as 140c
i like to have my volcano on setting 5 or 180c sometimes a bit lower at 170-175c although the temp fluctuates between 5 degrees each way so setting 5 does it perfectly
combustion of some toxins an plant material starts at 200c an total combustion is at around 230c
i dont know what farenheit works out to be tho

combustion of some toxins an plant material starts at 200c Significant amounts of toxins 'vaporize' around 200 C. No combustion at that temp.



im think my temp. display is pritty accurate for when its at room temperature its matches the temperature in my house.. That doesn't say anything about how the heater and display react to a drop in the temp as you draw on the whip. If you're getting plenty of vapor at 220-240 F, and 350 F and higher turns your herb black, there is no way that your display is accurate. You can't expect an inexpensive digital vape to perform like a $500 digital model. If they could, the manufacturers of vapes like the Vapezilla, Vaporfection, Evolutions, etc. would be out of business.

360 is big coughing out vape hits but the whole bowl is vaped in a hit.......A bowl in one hit is a sign of too much heat, which should abslolutely not be the case at a true temp of 360 F. Use whatever display temp gives you smooth (and multiple) hits and leaves you with brown (not black) leftovers. But at a true temp of 240 F you should barely be getting any THC.

I've been using 395F its harsh but seems to work fine, i get multiple hits but i get borderline black leftovers. I'm going to drop down to 360F tonight see how that goes.

I always start at 350f. I get really smooth but powerful hits with that. When the hits are not as big i go up to 400f just to be sure its finished. I have used these temps on every vape ive ever used and they seem to be the sweet spot (for me anyway).

I think this definitively fixed the black leftovers, no more harsh hits. + GDP = BLAZED
