How long does it take to warm up the pan? (Original Post)

(35,015 posts)1. It took 9 attempts over several hours to warm my friend's pan.
Then finally, the engine was running!

Also, are you heating oil with the pan or a dry pan.
In any case, less than 5 minutes except cast-iron which can take closer to 8 in some situations.

30 seconds.

but you may get better functionality by following this advice. Improved efficiency is probably maintained after a warm up period because the glass parts have had time to heat-soak and stop from cooling down the airflow.
The first thing you need to do is let your unit warm up. I let mine warm up for 20 minutes before using it, and then it stays on for the rest of the night. I like to warm my unit up to 10 degrees hotter than I am going to vaporize at and then back it down when it is time to go. I also let it warm up for 10 of those 20 minutes by itself. This is when I grind the herb. I use a grinder with a screen to collect kif, which is a great thing to have when you either want to get completely rocked, or for when you run out of fresh herb. I've never tried to vaporize anything that wasn't ground. I then put a loaded bowl on the unit for the last 10 of the 20 warm-up minutes.
Temperatures
Several things affect the sweet spot for the Extreme such as the speed of the fan or your draw. It may take some time for you to find what you like, but heres what settings I have been using lately with good success:
Low/mid quality herb
v1 - 320C
v2 - 220C
v3 - 220C
High quality herb
v1 - 290C
v2 - 190C
v3 - 190C
I like to turn it up 5C for each successive bag.
Another technique is to heat the product until it appears slightly blackened from scorching and to back the heat down from there to find the ideal temperature. This temperature may vary from strain to strain.

In the future, please refrain from commenting when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Thank you.

If you know what I mean. A horny guy, so to speak. I think she is going to hit him with her shoe.

one the attractiveness of the Nurse, the temperature of the room, and the initial temp of the pam. Back in the day they were metal and it took a while to warm them up.
