Congrats! Which device did you get?
I got the Rogue based on others recommendations of the older smaller version. Seems to be pretty bullet proof, easy to use. I opted for a curved mouthpiece addon for the hell of it.
So I take it long slow drags are fine, and just because you're not blowing clouds, it's still fine? As in ai'm not able to handle big fat rips like that, so in my comfort zone, I'm barely blowing out anything visible. But it's way less than oil or smoke.
I do have a few mouthpeace minis laying around somewhere so I could try filtering it. Is that necessary? Or even detrimental?
The rogue is a solid device. Do you have the dosing capsules yet? They help keep the oven cleaner. Also you can use a rogue capsule as a spacer for "micro-dosing" - put a tiny bit of herb in the oven and then put an EMPTY capsule on top to hold it down while you cook and extract.
I don't even know what a dosing capsule is. The research I've done on this was read a few threads here so far :) Thankfully much of my intuition was close enough to get me started. I guess I'm not a total dumbass yet.
Many brands (including healthy rips) sell "dosing capsules" which are essentially re-usable metal "pods" that you can fill with dry herb. Then when on the go you can easily pop out a spent/cooked capsule, and insert a fresh one easily without fumbling with a bunch of dry herb in your pocket. Honestly of all the brands I've tried, HealthyRips has one of the best dosing capsules on the market - durable, high quality, and easy to open (unlike some other brands which will bend/dent easily when trying to open a used dirty capsule)
Dosing capsules add some thermal mass so they do heat up a bit slower, but they keep your oven (and screen) cleaner, and they make reloading easier - and they seem to do a better job of uniformly cooking the herb without the need to stir (once you let it get fully heated up!). But as I mentioned, you can use an empty one as a spacer so you can vape 1/10th as much as usual.
Be sure to play with temp stepping. I find the rogue works great at low temps like 300F and slowly sip away, increasing temp 5F or 10F every other minute.
And be sure to pick up the water-tool and watertool adapter if you haven't already - vaporbonging with the rogue is another fun thing you can do
I use a pax and dynavap B. I'm a sipper, not a ripper, and i don't have a ton of output but it still works for me. As someone mentioned, dry flower doesn't vape as well. If it's not too irritating and you're feeling good, its good. I've seen some cooling mouthpieces but i haven't tried them.
