I have found out the temp that works best.
Since Im a fairly heavy smoker...
Should I just leave this thing on all the time or ...
keep turning it on and off several times through the day ???
(Im gonna guess leave it on but wanted y'alls advice)

dotn leave it on you will burn out the heating element, especially if its a cheap one
its like a soldering iron, dosent take that long to heat up to where you want it but once its going it can get HOTTTTTTTT

i agree.^^^ your vape will do the job and prolly last you a good while, but to be honest, it may have not been worth the long run. I paid 100 for mine, which sounds like alot at first, but i was really sold on the !transferable!...lifetime warranty! and VB has been around forever.

Isn't the point of having a vape, is the ability for it to maintain a steady temp?
If not then why does this guy recommend keeping it on?

just the fact that you say you got that vape for 35 bucks, makes me think that it may not have a very reliable heating element and could be prone to an easy burn out.
the guy in the video has a vapor brothers a $100 vape, with a ceramic natural mineral heating element and they are the inventors of the box, so they should have the technology down. either way i wouldn't leave any vape on The whole day... maybe an hour at the most.

leaving it on seems like a waste of electricity and a fire hazard
but if you're dead set on leaving it on, maybe turn it down so it just stays warm

16 days in and I LOVE my vape 
I was at a friends house the other day, and he smoked some shwagg w/me. He gave me a lil to take home and try in the vape. I did and, he asked if it tasted any better vaped, and I said that it tasted pretty much the same. He didn't understand....till he came by and sampled it himself.
Now he is sold on a vaping too

One month update :
I still love this thing, but can see why it was only $35. The element has a hard time maintaining its temp, but that's easy enough to work around. I have yet to see it stretching my weed, but Im not using any more weed so ... 
I'm looking to upgrade to a name brand one probably for my B-day or X-mas. Hopefully it will have a more stable heating element :/
Another question.
How do you guys use the resin that's left in the bowl/tubing?
I have been using a solvent to dissolve it and pour on a piece of glass to dry. Then scrape up the goo with a blade and add pieces of the goo to another vape bowl.
Gotta be careful with that goo/resin/hash in the vape bowl though. Its far to easy to get too big a hit
