I recently got a Buddha and I find I have to pack at least .5 in there just to get 4 or 5 half decent hits. And it seems to be drained of all substance before it's even half brown.

You need to turn the temperature control up a bit. It takes some experimentation to get it right.

I suggest trying the higher settings and working backwards or from the lowest and working upward just to gain some experience quickly so you can find your vapes sweet spot as they say.

I just find I'm using a lot, always at 3 o'clock or higher, and not getting all that much out of it. Should I take the wand out while not using it?

The manual says you could leave it on all day at noon and it would work fine. Not mine. Mine seems to get a bad case of heat exhaustion after 20 minutes. Am I pushing it too hard?

I have never had a problem with mine, knock on wood like product.

Please explain your heat exhaustion?

Mine works best between the 3 and 4 o'clock area. Maybe adjust it a bit higher but I can pull vapor from 2 o'clock however they do say the temperature settings from vape to vape can vary but it should be ball park.

Just a thought, are you loosly putting it in or packing it down hard? Loose is better for airflow.

Like Buzzby said, up the temp. You need to find the low and high end of the vapor range for your vape. If the remains aren't a medium brown you can probably turn it up and cook it some more. When you get to the point on the dial where the taste goes south on ya, and the remains are very dark brown, you're done. If the remains are black, your temp is high and you're getting a good dose of toxins with your vapor.

If that's true, there's something wrong with yours. You may be hitting it too hard and lowering your temp by doing that-excessive air flow across the heater will lower the temp. But "heat exhaustion after 20 minutes"???? What do you mean? These heaters come right back up to the temp that's set, even if you do drop the temp with too much airflow.

That depends on how long you're not using it. Usually, between hits, no. But depending on your temp setting and how full the bowl is loaded, it will slowly cook your weed without you drawing on it.
