The Quartz top of the QQ was what i meant by cap.
I have still consistently had no hot hits. And found at least the source of most of my residue. Chunky yellow and the fluffy yellow both leave dark residue.
I have found my sweet spot and I'm sticking to it.
Preheat 325 @48W / 320 @42W
14s heat
10s wait
dump all spice quick with a folded business card (extra folds to make a funnel at tip)
Clean cup with IPA/ISO after every use
last night (listening to Sounds of Isha - Aum Namah Shivaya 1 hour version)
11:30pm-11:40pm - 20mg Chunky yellow - 2 rips
Was getting lost in my tapestry. Almost no visuals at all with eyes closed. It felt tribal (were the only words that fit when i was writing notes still tilted, but it certainly could have been from the chanting music) everything was darker. did not see wavey colors at all. even tapestry looked primarily purple (dark residue)
11:48pm-11:57pm - 20mg Fluffy yellow - 2 rips
Strong trip. First time feeling like i was letting go, and the strands from my tapestry came out in 3d and were horizontal coming straight off the wall. at one point a clear bubble/sphere that was connected to a strand came over and was right next to my head, and then i never saw the bubble again. but i was able to get several minutes of deep hallucinating. not alot of visuals with eyes closed but one of my "deepest" trips yet. (dark residue)
I believe to date I've never broken through. But I will quietly continue testing the same dose for now and see if i can go back through each spice and have anything close to a similar trip. Because so far almost no trip has been alike.
Ever since I cleaned the QQ Cap and it's little stem very well with IPA/ISO, haven't seen bad hits and no longer taste anything when vaping! That has been confirmed with all my spice colors/purities.
Thanks everyone in this post for helping narrow the search down!
** edit - another variable is the type of batteries we all use. due to how they perform. i am using Sony VTC5A's. for anyone not familiar this is a guide for batteries
