How do you use your volcano?

Crab sorry about the delayed response. I have a routine I always stick to.. I own the solid valve and use turkey bags so they are a lot bigger... I do as follows.
1 Bag @ Starting temp
1 Bag @ Starting temp+10*C
1 Bag @ 220*C
If I'm using dank I measure and grind out .3-.5 grams depending on my pain level. If I'm using mids or low I'll measure and grind out .7-1 gram.
The last bag usually don't taste anywhere near as good as the first two but I find that the increased temps gets the last of the beneficial stuff out.(See below) Under no circumstances do I go past 220*C with buds. (And I only do 220*C 1 time no more) If using the oil pad I prefer to crank it all the way up to 225*C to create the thickness I prefer.
I've had the volcano for about a year now and the one huge tip I have is if you decide to use the oil pad it's a good idea to have a bag just for that. I found the oil makes the bags sticky fast which is annoying when trying to use herbs later.

(VVV-This is why I go up to 220*C-VVV)
Cannabichromene CBC
Properties: Anti-inflammatory, Antibiotic, Anti-fungal
Boiling point: 220*C / 428 degree Fahrenheit

*EDIT*
I don't mind waiting for it to heat up since unlike nearly every other vape out there when it says it's hot it's hot. (What I do is if I know I'm going to be vaping I turn the volcano on before I do anything else so that by the time the herb is ground up and I have a glass of water it's usually just getting up to temp.) I both owned and used many different vapes before the Volcano and nothing else comes close. I've had vapes that say they're hot when they're not and I had to hit and check back until it works.(Quite frustrating) I've also had a vape that would say it was at a certain temp when in reality it just heated out of control causing herb to vape harshly and on occasion actually reach combustion.(Infuriating and defeating the purpose of vaping)

I have a volcano classic
First I grind the flowers up and fill the easy valve chamber usually no more than halfway, sometimes I fill it up all the way if I grind up too much and in that case I make sure to flip over the plant matter to get it all vaped.
I turn it to 439 F, I know that it causes the Some of the same toxins found in smoke to boil off into vapor but I want to get all the cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids possible.
This usually gives me 5-8 good bags. Sometimes it's a little ticklish on the throat depending on the strain. It tastes way better than smoking in my opinion. The volcano is my first non portable vape and I was hooked immediately, it truly is like a BMW. Plus you can use it for aromatizing food as well as aromatherapy.
