Maybe you can help me out. I think I always burn my rosin. The bottom of my banger always ends up black and then the taste goes way down and it doesn’t hit as hard.
Do you know what the best temperature I should set it to is?
What exactly are you using to dab? Sounds like your banger is probably too hot. Rosin often needs lower temperatures compared to other concentrates like resin.
My understanding is that ideal temp range changes depending on your piece and the concentrate used, anywhere from 350-500 F. Don’t go above 600 F.
Here’s a few suggestions to experiment with:
I keep my rig at my desk, so I wanted to avoid using a torch.

I use this at about 490 F
Maybe that’s still too hot
Maybe the fact that it holds that exact temperature for the whole session has something to do with it, now that I think about it.
Oh that’s a dope e-nail. Maybe try around 400-450 F. From what I understand, there should be no permanent or burnt in residue after a dab. The leftover residue should be easily wipeable.
As they say, sometimes you gotta waste it to taste it.
Also, quartz glass can get worn over time and lose its ability to retain heat. May be time for a new one.
