I use 12-1. 2-3 is too high on mine. I've heard others say they use a 'noonish' setting too. "see little mist sometimes"?. That's all you get on exhale at 2-3? Wow. Doesn't sound right to me. Are you hitting it too hard maybe? Watch your heater when you hit. It should definitely be reddish before you take a draw. Mine is at 12-1. If all the red goes away as you hit, you may be lowering the temp too much with your strong airflow. I find the SSV to be very forgiving on how you hit it, but a vape ain't a bong. The easier you hit, the more heat you'll apply to the bowl contents. This vape also has a pretty narrow focus to the air stream, so you'll have to stir the bowl a few times (a lot if you load it up) to get all the herb exposed.
