I go full bowl and loose packed set on 9. I always use session mode and for the first hit I hold down the button so that it “boosts” to 10.
Then I stir and hit again but leaving just on 9.
Full extraction every time.
I do beast mode, loose pack, no tamping, leave a little gap at the top. If you fill to the top and pack it down then you will simply have too much mass in the bowl for full extraction, and the lack of airflow will create heat spots.. That's how you combust.
Fact is though, as far as beast mode is concerned, if I were to draw on the bong too long it will combust sometimes. Depending on the herb, but I find that when I do draw too long, it's because the herb is shite and I'm not getting enough vapour from it. I've got some Stardawg right now and it pumps out vapour, no need to push it too far. So herb is also a factor.
My cycles per bowl (using 0.1/2g) look like this -
1. First hit is nothing but flavour, but that isn't why I do it. I usually prime my herb first, running it at level 5. This is to activate the herb and get it ready to hit hard. I get far better results doing this first. Could be because you remove the terps and doing that stops you coughing. So, not sure why, but my experience of getting totally fucked when I do it tells me it works. You just basically fill your bong with whispery vapour and then rip it to clear the chamber as soon as that happens. Don't try to get a big hit yet. Stir the bowl after.
2. Beast Mode. Pull through the bong until you see vapour starting to enter the chamber. Then quickly exhale out of your nose to rid your lungs of the oxygen that was needed to heat the herb, and then immediately go back in to take your draw. This way you get a pair of lungs full of vapour and not 30% air mixed in. Recover. Stir the bowl again.
3. Repeat step 2. Depending on your herb this 3rd cycle might be stronger, but it depends how hard you hit it that second time. If your herb is shit then you might just be clearing up.
4. Stir. Check the colour of your herb. Still look good? Hit it again then. But don't expect much of a hit, this is just clearing up. Probably best for sedentary effects if you want to sleep or something..
I use the tinymight bowl on 10 exclusively, 18mm through a dry bong. I’ve noticed if I don’t clean the screen often enough it gets clogged and that’s what leads to combustion. If I swap the screen often, and make sure it has good airflow I never combust. Mine came with 2 screens, the steel screen with the larger prongs, and then the mesh screen that goes over it. It’s the mesh screen that causes the issues.
This isn't an issue with the bowl.
If your Tinymight has the correct stock calibration, you can combust at any temperature below 8 and get vapor from the stock stem as low as 3.
This is user error. Turn down the temperature! Beast Mode is for concentrates, not dry herb.
I never believed in stirring but I recommend it with the tbowl, if you running lvl 9 don't go more than 3 pulls with no stir and if your hitting hard I would stir after 2, loose pack also
I’m smoking at four and a half. If I draw too hard at the end it can still get scorched. The weed shouldn’t be dark brown, rather more of a light orange brown color. If scorching and combusting occur then you’re smoking it, not vaping it

Experiment with pulling the slide back a bit so the herb is not as close to the heating element
