Intros Vaporiser advice (novice)

[Kato2611]

Hi all, I just got my flower and vaporiser, and i'm following the instructions and nothings really happening, There's no steam or smoke and i'm not exhaling anything. Its an Anix STEAM PATHFINDER Steam machine. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi @Kato2611

Usually cheaper vapes don't tend to have great production but I would have expected you to feel something.

I guess the obvious things for me would be what temp is it?

How are you packing it? It's a conduction vape so you'll want to pack the chamber tightly for best results.

Is the mouthpiece clean? Sometimes they can get a little gunked up, but again I would have expected you to have vapour stop to have this.

It may just be a faulty device. I don't think there's much more advice I can offer, I have a lot of vapes but given we inhale from them I tend to stay clear of Chinese plastics - one of my first ever portables was a flowermate and I really hated it.

It was 30 quid, with really good reviews. I have it on 390 C as that's what the booklet said was best. Id say its not too tight but definitely not loose. It feels like inhaling warm air, and the weird thing is I am feeling the effects but there's no steam/smoke at all.

Unfortunately for us, dry herb vaping does tend to be a get what you pay for market. There are some decent budget options, even some passable <£60 options but largely the performance suffers at these prices.

390c? That sounds a bit high to me, you sure it's not in f?

That's about 200c which sounds about right to be honest. You should be getting vapour from that to be honest.

Can you up the temp? I'm thinking the internal temp sense is way of but that's not a good think of it is.

What colour is the herb afterwards? Does it look roasted?

I'm sorry, even inhaling the warm air has got me giggling. I meant 390F. By 200c did you mean 200F? Its difficult to tell the colour right now.

Sounds like it's working to me

I know, i'm not kidding you I was like "so is this supposed to be like this, and i'm stupid and didn't realise that's what it was supposed to do?" No smoke, no steam and i've got the munchies! I just know somethings not right and its probably something that i'm doing wrong.
