I obviously need to educate myself im a full time dabber but i I just never knew there was any difference should I by using different setups for different concentrates :/

I don’t think you need different setups for different concentrates so much but the ultimate goal for me is to dab at the lowest possible temperature to get the flavour whilst also making sure as much concentrate vaporises as possible so there’s no waste. If you use a carb cap it lowers the pressure in the banger as you dab so the concentrate can vaporise at a lower temperature. A thermal banger is supposed to retain a steady temperature for longer but my experience has been that there’s often puddles left when I used it so not all the concentrate Ian vaporised.

dude if you like dabs check out divine crossing v4 and reddit/waxpen
cant remember when I had a dab trough my banger after this shit, but more expensive as you need a good vape mod as well.

Exactly! They say thermals are meant to retain the heat for longer and you only need to heat as long as a normal banger but if I did 1 min heat, 50 seconds cool (my preference) there would be hardly any vapour or flavour of the thermal banger.

I'm guessing your 'standard' banger is thinner glass, so heats up quicker etc. Maybe your thermal one's just not hot enough when you hit it (hence less flavour and more residue)

less heat would mean more flavor though

Less vapour means less flavour too though... it's that balance between actually vaporizing everything, but not burning it. If it just melts off and cooks into residue, it's less of everything (apart from cleaning up after!).

My nails and bangers are gathering dust these days though. Just find myself using my Puffco Peak for convenience and consistency.

And BTW Mr Hootan... absolutely loving your last 2 extracts. The Black Cherry DIS and the Biscoff Rosin are awesome. Please do keep em coming!

Hootan does extracts? That's music to my ears. Please get some on the wall Hoots. I've just ordered a linx hypnos zero pen and I'm on the lookout for different concentrates to try out
