Found my settings :) (DT QQ coils, TC settings)
I thinki found settings for me that will make this my "get stoned" portable/ portable non session home use.
Personal overview:
I had the stempod for while. before the new smaller stem pod came out. I tried experimenting with coils but was always concerned about amperage and stressing the battery so it never became my main vape. Also I originally tried the DT QQ coils and liked them the best but it still didn't become one of my main vapes because I felt too many inconsistencies. (understandable... I accept some vapes take time to learn.)
Fast forward to now.
I purchased a DaBuddah and found it to be a good vape. I have used it and understand it now.
I have been cleaning and found my stempod. I put some spare DT QQ coils on... used these settings from the QQ wiki.
ArcticFox on Pico - Big hits - TCR 300 / 50w / 500 degrees F / resistance locked at .24 ohms
ArcticFox on Pico - Low and slow(more accurate temperature, but longer heat-ups and more firing to keep bucket at temp)- TCR 225 / 45w / 520 degrees F / resistance locked at .24 ohms
Starting with the Low and Slow settings I tried them and got bad results IMO.
Changed the settings to the Big hits... and got better results.
now... here is what I currently use.
I put herb in my DaBuddah stem (NO stempod BASKET SCREEN). https://www.elev8glassgallery.com/dbv-ground-glass-wand-for-da-buddha/
Use settings TCR 300 / 55w / 600 degrees F / resistance locked at .25 ohms
using the dabuddah stem makes for more even loads. but stirring is still required and much easier to do than with a basket screen.
and the stempod now performs on par with my dabuddah. (Draw technique is needed, start slow and "make love" to the vapor. Don't just "fuck" it try to take a long fast hard rip.)
takes about 6-10 for an initial preheat to get the ceramic coils red.
Edit: i stopped using ye stempod because he insulator plastic was becoming burn looking.

have you ventured into Pi-Regulation settings?
I havent. Also i stopped using the stempod because i noticed the insulator that separates the post had started to become burnt.
Im not sure if it happened when i was testing coils or when in use... But i dont want to risk inhaling plastic at this point. (I have a lot of other vapes i can use)
