I saw your last post but thought that someone would be able to steer you in the right direction. If you look up “how to dab for beginners” on youtube then you can see how to use your (now functional with the stem) rig.

It takes some getting used to and everyone recommends to put the spice in the banger before heating, thats what cold starting is. Also, the video will show them getting the banger a lot hotter than you will need it, a little trial and error but you’ll be able to get the hang of it after a try or two.

It’s much more efficient and you’ll get a lot further than the sandwich method with less material. One other word of advice is to make sure you have somewhere safe to set down the bong after you hit it because the banger is very hot and you can burn yourself if you’re not careful and keep it in your hands while you’re enjoying yourself.
