3. Set temperature between 380°F-428°F
4. Replace magnetic cover
5. Allow 30 seconds of pre-heating before first draw

Optimal Draw Technique

The Legacy Pro performs best with these drawing techniques that I've refined through extensive testing:

For Maximum Flavor (lower temperatures: 350°F-375°F):

• Take slow, controlled draws lasting 5-8 seconds
• Maintain gentle, consistent pressure throughout
• Focus on the subtle flavor notes that emerge
• Wait 20-30 seconds between draws

For Maximum Vapor Production (higher temperatures: 400°F-428°F):

• Take longer, steady draws of 8-12 seconds
• Draw with slightly more force than at lower temperatures
• Allow 15-20 seconds between draws for chamber recovery

For Concentrate Use:

• Use extremely slow, gentle draws
• Start at lower temperatures and gradually increase
• Take shorter draws (3-5 seconds) with longer pauses between

The first 1-2 draws at any temperature setting may produce less visible vapor but contain the most flavorful compounds. By the third draw, vapor production typically reaches its peak.

Adjustable Airflow Usage

The Legacy Pro's adjustable airflow dial allows you to customize your drawing experience:

1. Locate the airflow dial on the side of the device
2. Rotate clockwise for a more restricted draw with denser vapor
3. Rotate counterclockwise for a more open draw with cooler vapor

This method provides the most comprehensive experience, capturing everything from delicate initial terpenes to full-spectrum effects at higher temperatures. I've found this particularly effective with the Legacy Pro's gold-plated chamber, which preserves flavor notes even at higher temperature steps.

Microdosing Precision

For controlled, efficient effects with minimal material:

1. Use the chamber insert at its highest setting (smallest chamber size)
2. Load just 0.05-0.1g of material
3. Start at lower temperatures (340°F-360°F)
4. Take 2-3 draws then power off completely
5. The session can be resumed later with subtle temperature increases

This approach maximizes the Legacy Pro's efficiency, allowing a small amount of material to be used across multiple mini-sessions. Many users report a single small load lasting an entire day with this method.

Flavor Preservation Technique

To maximize the Legacy Pro's exceptional flavor capabilities:

1. Use freshly ground material with proper moisture content
2. Start at very low temperature (320°F-330°F) for the first 2-3 draws
3. Use the most open airflow setting
4. Take slow, gentle draws of moderate length (5-6 seconds)
5. Focus on the subtle flavor notes that emerge

This technique showcases the gold-plated chamber's ability to extract delicate terpenes without overwhelming them with higher-temperature compounds. It's particularly impressive with high-quality botanical materials that have complex flavor profiles.

Concentrate Enhancement Method

For optimal performance with concentrates:

1. Pre-heat the device at 380°F for 30 seconds before loading
2. Place a small amount of concentrate between two layers of herb (sandwich method)
3. Begin at 380°F for terpene preservation
4. Gradually increase to 410°F for full extraction
5. Use slightly restricted airflow for denser vapor

This hybrid approach delivers superior performance compared to using the concentrate pad alone, as the botanical material helps regulate heat transfer to the concentrate, preventing burning while enhancing flavor.
