Okay, I bet I'm posting this in the wrong place or something, and if so sorry, but you guys (particularly vapefiend and phlups ) seem to know a lot about the Herbalaire and I'M STUCK!

I chose the Herbalaire after much reading of the threads on canabis.com (great site!), and received it last weekend. I've now tried to use it every day since and I'm getting nothing - zilch.

I'm putting about a big pea-sized amount in the crucible then (and I downloaded all of this thread to get temps and stuff), I'm setting it to about 330 and going up from there in increments of five.
I've only managed to actually see vapor once, when I was using direct inhale. I've not seen anything in the bag, at any temperature. When I saw it once - and I mean once; one exhale - I still didn't get anything in terms of even a slight buzz. In the end, I 'vaped' about six times my normal amount and was mind-bogglingly sober (and more than a little depressed).

When I empty the crucible, the weed is toasted (even burned once or twice) so something must be happening, it just ain't getting to me!

Any advice?

Oh, I normally smoke it, probably a max of six or so a week (not a lot), and haven't been doing that very long.

I was wondering whether the freshness of the herb might be the problem? Moisture content etc?

Please help me! I'm ready to send it back.
