Sounds like you've ground it a little too fine and maybe you're sucking too hard on the inhale.

I've used an Airizer Solo II for years and it's my preferred tool at this point. Once it comes up to temp, I "sip on it like a cup of tea". I'm inhaling just hard enough to pull air from over the herb as it's toasting, in a long, slow drag, not a hard hit like on a joint or a bong.

Hopefully it's just your technique keeping ya from enjoying the dry herb vape life, as since converting from combustion, I've saved tons of money on grass since its so efficient.

Have used a variety, currently Dynavap and Storz & Bickel gear are my preferred tools.

Sounds like you could be missing a screen, herb’s too fine or other.

Make and model of vape would be helpful.

Here's a link to the manual for your vape.

It mentions a silicone screen in the mouthpiece, does yours have one?

The only one I've ever used is a Pax 3. I never had a problem with inhaling ground herb. I think my first troubleshooting step would be to make sure you packed it full and tight, it should come out as a little puck when you're done.

We've got a dry herb vape specific community here on Lemmy as well. /C/Vaporents on Lemmy.world.

It depends on the style and how fine the screens are. While it would be more efficient to grind your weed really fine, you shouldn't need to.

Got a link to the one you have? I dunno if a picture would even help, but someone else here might have the same one... Dunno.

What sort of a vape is it? Is there no screen between the mouthpiece and the weed?

Idk man, never used vape pens really. Handheld vaporisators like the Mighty, yeah, but that doesn't probably count as a vape pen.

It is called the Pulsar Flow. I got this one second hand and Pulsar vapes no longer sells this model.

You're not using the same one you vape resin to vape dry herb, are you? 🤨
