Figured with the last few threads inspiring me to try out a dry herb vape. And I realized I knew nothing about it. But reading the manual and getting it going was easy. And I just experimented a bit and with temps. And apparently I landed in a pretty good sweet spot.

I will share some more of my experience, but I would like to hear some others more experienced takes on their usages, tips, tricks, favorite temps and getting the most out of it. Thanks!

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
