Quick Answer
Thick oil needs enough heat to vaporize reliably, but excessive heat can damage flavor and user experience.
Technology
Thick oil should be heated with a balanced system: sufficient oil flow, stable ceramic saturation, and power levels that avoid overheating the extract.
- Heat cannot solve poor oil flow alone.
- Ceramic saturation is critical.
- Burnt taste is often a system issue.
The heating balance
Reliable vaporization depends on both heat delivery and oil availability at the heating surface.
