--Just start off with a small amount and work your way up to a comfortable level for yourself. Everybody has a different tolerance depending on many factors.

--Once the herb turns a chocolate looking brown you can save it for cooking.

I got my iolite about a month ago.
It has a fixed temperature so you can not vary the temp.

A couple of things I have learned:
--It uses gas quickly so I now fill it after every use
--After I fill it I wait about 15 minutes or so before I try to start it up.
--When you turn it on you will hear the gas hissing--I let it hiss for almost 15 seconds before I hit the igniter. If it does not start--you can see a yellow light to confirm it is heating up--just try again.
--I push the igniter very slowly and then hold it it. This always works for me.
--After you turn it off it will continue to hiss and produce vapor as it cools down so keep that in mind as you will lose valuable vapor.
--I take maybe 3 or 4 inhales and then shut it off since I will continuing to take in vapor.
Again,you need to customize the amount, # of hits etc etc to suit your own tastes and needs.
bruce48 Reviewed by bruce48 on . Newbie first time use questions - Iolite Hi, let me start by saying I have never smoked anything so when I say I'm new, I'm really new to marijuana completely. I just bought an Iolite because a friend with MS said a vaporizer was the best way to go and it was the most I could afford. First off I'm wondering how much do I put in the bowl the first time, if I'm planning on starting off slow and only taking a couple of hits? Also, if there is extra after I take a couple of hits still in the bowl, what do I do with it? Can it be used Rating: 5
