After filling w/butane and letting warm up for several minutes I loaded my first bowl.
Did you let the weed heat for 5 min before toking?
I found the draw to be somewhat constricted (bowl not at all packed and about 1/2 full).
Then it's too packed. Try it a few times and see. I had the same learning curve.
Got very little visible vapor and/or taste. meds turned only slightly darker.
instructions were a bit vague regarding the moisture condenser. Said it was installed w/unit but as far as I can see it is not (assuming I'm referring to the correct part). There is a piece (included in the bag) that looks like a small (1/4") metal piece that could slide inside the stem, but i'm not seeing that already in the mouthpiece stem.
