I don't think it makes any sense that you would have to turn it up...the whole point is that you have the heat setting at the point of vaporization. You can see in the manual where the temperature points are. (http://www.storz-bickel.com/pics/dow...ur%20table.pdf) I recommend leaving it at the set point and vaporizing it a few times until there is no more vapor coming out. Use the rest for making food. Try vaporizing various herbs for aromatherapy, that is what the other temperature settings are for. Volcano Vaporizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
