Hey everyone, just got into dabbing recently, so I bought myself a new rig today. The nail has a dome on it. Guy who sold me it at the smoke shop said the nail was quartz.
So, I take my torch, heat the nail for about 20-35 seconds (or until it's red enough), put the dome back on, wait about 5-10 seconds, then take the dab.
I'm not getting a lot of smoke though... It seems like I'm barely getting any smoke compared to what I should be getting. If I were to take the same amount out of my friends rig which is really nothing special (some really small $20 one with a ceramic nail), I would get way more smoke. This happens every time, even if I increase the amount I'm using. I've tried heating it for less, longer, or taking it right after and not waiting, etc. but I can't seem to figure out why. I've probably taken over 25 dabs by now, I'm a noob. Using shatter by the way.
I plan on buying a domeless quartz nail tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll run into the same issue. What am I doing wrong guys? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
