Ahoy hoy!

For 4/20 I got a great deal on an arizer XQ2 an was excited to try it out but after 5 sessions I feel like I'm doin somthin wrong as Im getting a lil vapor an some taste but thas about it. Last 2 bowls I used the larger bowl filled at half way, because it's closer to the heat, I'm preheatin for 5-20 minutes, and am startin at 450f, an still is not givin much. I'm not expectin big ol vape juice clouds, but I get more out of my 501 cartridges an the high is not on the same level, any suggestions?

Personally I keep it at 160-175C (320-347F) because I don't want to be even close to combustion.

Are you running the fan during pre-heat? (I run it on lowest)
After that, I also let the material pre-heat (no fan, capped) as well for at least 5mins. (Also some stuff like inital pulls of air at start of pre-heat and stirring after pre-heat, but I have no idea if that does much)

From what I've heard (and seen a few times), heating to a higher temp and then stepping it down might give you more clouds. But I assume that is either just an effect similar to condensation and/or maybe slightly more extraction due to better heat soak.

For reference I just have an EQ with nothing special, and my material was free (not the best/freshest, though I assume that's more about weak flavor or quick-to-turn-harsh more than it is potency itself) and also I just rip a bit by hand instead of pre-grind (I keep the AVB, doesn't taste bad IMO because lower temp).
