Vapes How fine do you grind?

[MerryMonk]

I use an XMAX Starry V4, which I know is certainly not the best device out there, but it's a decent starter model for myself. Generally, I've been using a 3 part (pretty standard) grinder, fill to about 3/4 when tampered. It tends to work ok, but yesterday I received the Pink Kush T33. My grinder was full, so I just broke this into smallish pieces with my fingers (probably 3mm chunks) and packed.

I have no idea if it was the Pink Kush, but the levels of vapour seemed better, the flavour was better and definitely a better hit.

Also, I set at a 10 minute session, puff every 20 to 30 seconds (so about 20 to 30 puffs in 10 mins), but I still find quite a lot of vapour being produced. Often running a second session of 10 mins with the same bowl, it s's producing vapour and only starting to get any hint of a burnt taste after around 5 mins or later of the second session, so about 15 to 18 minutes in total. Personally, that does seem quite a long time. I tend to vape around 190 to 205, sometimes ramping up to 210°C.

So, any tips on grinding would be appreciated. Also, how many puffs/session length do you tend to get from a bowl?

Thanks

I use this grinder which gives a course grind which I find better for vaping

I have a flower mill grinder and use the standard #3 plate, I tried the finer #2 plate recently and found it too fine.

I just have a simple basic 2inch metal grinder and I always do a fine grind

Thanks both. Also, how long do your sessions take to get as much out of the bowl as you can, as 15 minutes (probably ca 40 puffs) seems a lot.

I use the smaller one for the vapana ace and the solo3

I nearly always pull my weed as much easier to tell how much actually using and I find the grinder just smashes the flavour away but iv done it for years as can be quite hard to tell how much actually using when just fill the grinder then pour it out as some get loads others not so much but most people I know use a grinder but iv always preferred the flavour even in a j when the weeds pulled apart x

I use the same vapouriser but with the dosing capsules. I always struggle to get anything and only have a couple of clouds before my session runs out (four minutes I think).

I'm sure I must be overpacking the dosing capsule.

This is why I'm basically just on 510 vape carts now. Much less of a learning curve.

I tried grinding for a bit, now I just chop with a No.6 Opinel carbone...

Flower clouds will always be thinner. My capsule holds 0.1 stuffed, I go for 0.07-0.08.

Use a grinder that has holes and a collector. You can't over grind then. I think that destroys trichomes but I just like it chunky. it's tastier.

Never use a plastic grinder!!!
