They claim a-pinene "boils" at 311f. Supposed to be...

Anti-inflammmatory, treatment of asthma. Hmmmmm. Foa a strain for a wake-up bag in the morning, I run up the temp until vapor just starts showing. 315 or so. The bud in the chamber does not reach that full temp for long time, more than needed for a 2ft bag.

Ah, the do no evil goog. I didn't even think. IMO these boiling point numbers need some splainin' and someday I will dig up a chart with the compounds listed with temp in the domain and vapor pressure in the Y axis - with the compounds all overlaid. It exists somewhere, see post #27 video, at the end for what I seek. And the compounds are overlaid. Those curves are what I think are smoothing between the various temp data points.

This is tabular form of the some incomplete data for compounds.

The boiling points are wrong as I've pointed out many times since that nonsense started. The terpene effects are from thin air. Anyone could write effects on pieces of paper, write terpenes on other pieces of paper, put them in a hat and randomly mix and match them together, and make a new color coded chart. If that person came to this or other sites with that new chart and presented themselves as an expert and said this came from their trusted expert, everyone would be reposting it everywhere - it would be biblical truth, because anyone saying otherwise would be a negative troll heretic.

This video comes close to where I am trying to go. I would love to book that lab guy's time to do a more complete evaluation of the vapor.

Various strains
Material soak temp instead of set-point temp.
- Amount of material in the bowl matters for heating time, especially in a system like Volcano where the hot air has to heat the material.

And do a cool-down test on the higher temp bags to see what has condensed out and what remains after maybe 5 then 10 minutes of the bag setting to cool. This helps my 380* bags, and is essential on 420*, when I do those.

I really need sign-up and take this curiosity over to FC. They have been on this all along, but I am just, as ya'll have seen, finding out on my own the hard way. Till now.
