THis gives me about 8-10 bags, when the taste gets bad i stop extracting. i feel you can use 190° and only get 3-5 bags or do 170° and get 8-10 bags but with a better taste. I think you can extract the same amount but need more bags for it with less temp. i use 170° all the time.

Besides THC, several other cannabinoids as well as a range of other plant components including terpenoids were detected in the plant material. The longer vapor is stored, the more THC is lost as it condenses on the surface of the vaporizer or the balloon. This loss may be negligible over a few minutes but may exceed 50% after 90 minutes. The Leiden University study found that as much as 30%–40% of inhaled THC was not absorbed by the lungs but simply exhaled. However, they did not find large individual differences in the amounts exhaled.

I guess I've only finished one of my bags then. Other than 1 of my bags beginning to leak on me, the only issue I've encountered is the flavor not being as fresh. Thanks for the info.

If so, I may need to learn some more vaporizing theory. But my understanding of vaporization to avoid producing any smoke. Per my understanding, the temperature should be just enough to vaporize (turn from solid to gaseous state) the desired ingredients without causing ANY combustion. Am I missing something about how vaporization is supposed to work with a Volcano? Are you saying you’re referring to the smoke as vapor? If so, I may need to learn some more vaporizing theory.

Or after about 6-8 weeks of heavy usage, it just doesn't taste as fresh after awhile. (I use the solid valve so I buy it by the roll & cut my bags to about 24-26".) Me too…when it starts to leak.
