I just got a vape and it lets you set the temp from 200 to 400 degrees, what should I set it on? Help me please.

between 300 and 400 degree. Is it a box vape with a glass piece and tube? If it is you control the vapor by drawing the picec off of the heating element. like you take a hit and put the piece on the heating element then you draw it off and put it back on and repeat until you have a lung full. This keeps you from burning the weed.

Okay so should I let it warm up and then put the herb on, or let it warm up with the herb on it?

what kind of vape are we talking about. Is it a direct convection dome vape with a metal heating element?
If it is like that you let it heat and then put the weed on it. those are not the best vapes.
start at 345 degrees and work your way up until you get proper vaporization.
I was referring to an indirect convection vape which you use a glass picec and pull the hot air through the weed. The direct convection is less effecient and heats the weed directly.

I have one of the pencil box type ones, with a digital temp readout.

vapor brothers is the best. I think it was one of the first brands. Then all these shitty knock offs started coming out. I see them at like every head shop and they usually have "a digital readout." i don't know if what you are talking about is one of those but the ones I am talking about suck.

Thats right, i think silver surfer was the only vape with a readout that was decent, and volcano.
I bought 2 vapor brothers, i managed to somehow burn out the coil that was enclosed in glass the unit lit up and all but didnt heat up, within 3 days of actually smoking weed i went to the headshop to get another vapor brothers, because i had the dome vape and it sucked balls didnt even get me high while vapor bros returns its moneys worth within a month of daily smoking, like my skunk hookup who smokes 7g daily from his 4foot roor all day couldn't finish 0.4g in one session due to getting mutilated via vapor brothers thc delivery system straight to the dome :)
The second unit was a newer model with a ceramic element in glass instead of the coil is with me for almost 2 years and all my friends love that thing.
Temperature wise this is what i do the dial is analog without temp display but it says that it goes from 280-410 or something like that thats irrelevant because it all depends on how fast you pull your hits, i like getting thick lungfulls that make me cough so i set it at the max temp but you have to pull as hard as you can because otherwise you will start burning the weed and that ruins the packed weed and you gotta clean your whip coz it will taste like burnt popcorn. lower temperature is great for getting that delicious traste out that dankass bud lower temp also allows you to draw many hits from small bowlpack but they will be less dense than high temp hits but at least you dont have to pull hard or worry about burning your weed... i havent smoked my vapor brothers on low temp in weeks so im off to pack some sensi star in that now :)
vapor brothers, silver surfer, herbal aire, volcano, and heatgun vapebongs are the only vapes worth getting, stay away from bc vape and dome vape and vapir crap.

yeah i was trying to explain that with the vapor bros you control the vapor by how you hit it. I had a vapor bong after that and I loved the thing.
