How long do I heat my quartz banger and glass nail?

I'm kinda new to dabbing as I just bought my first rig yesterday. I have a newport mini torch and I've been using a quartz banger, I haven't used my glass nail yet. But how do I know when to stop? I've seen some youtube videos of people torching until it looks like there's a fire or should I torch it until it's red?
It seems like it's working fine with me only torching it 10-20 seconds but I don't know if it's doing what it should but due to little experience with dabbing. I also only have the heat set up halfway-ish and holding it probably 3 or 4 inches away.
Any advice appreciated.
Edit: I just took another dab and I've noticed there's a small pool of the now liquid concentrate in my banger? Does that mean I may have underheated it and not all of it vaporized?

Quartz bangers are the best. I get almost red hot, well the residue gets red but i don't think the quartz does. Let cool for 30 to 60 seconds then put your dab on there and carb cap gotta have a carb cap. Start experimenting with different temps, the banger will stay hot for longer than you think.

Why do you have to let it cool? Why not just heat for less time?

I do it to burn away any residue that migh be left behind. The quartz won't break from over heating if thats what you're worried about.

What I'm worried about is when my friend was heating it for a long time, his dab would set on fire when he went to put it in.

any dab that combusts at any heat isn't very good dab in my experience

So you mean it's the wax and not the heat's fault if the wax combusts?

Dabs have a combustion point, just like anything else.
If you put dabs on a red hot nail, they are going to catch on fire either way and taste nasty. OP, you heat up the nail excessively to burn the residue off and let it cool to ensure you don't burn the dab. I usually let my nail cool to about 400 degrees, then hit the dab.

I have no idea what 400F looks like on quartz

Lol, it probably looks the same as 350 and 450 degrees. Get a laser thermometer temp gun.

Well I think I figured it out:
Heat until any excess is red and gone, then let cool off just a few seconds after the red fades completely. This has been giving me good results.

Only use your rigs for dabs to scrape up the goo and reuse. I like my nail with a pinkish hue, just before glowing red. Works for me.

I started a thread about this, but I recently gained a mild collapsed lung due to dabbing (yay). It literally happened when I was dabbing, so there's not really an argument against causation in my mind (though I'm sure my weekly cigarette, infrequent ecig use and history of smoking an eighth a day set the stage). Some of the things I was warned about was keeping the temp somewhat low and to take smaller hits.
I used to prepare myself one to two FAT dabs, heat that fucker red hot, dab dab dab, and if I messed up and anything pooled behind towards the end of my hit, I would force myself to keep inhaling (which is what I was doing when it happened). Apparently the heat of the vapor (probably smoke in my case) and my ignorant ass methods can over-expand people's lungs and cause a collapse. I went from dabbing a gram a week to nothing overnight. it's been hell. I'm just glad I didn't need tubes or some shit.
I used a cheap glass nail and would get it RED hot. I mean the max my torch would take it. IDK the temp differences between glass and quartz, but take your time, take somewhat normal sized hits, don't hold them in with excessive pressure, make it a sesh, and keep your temp somewhat low.

Fuck I just broke it. Oh well I have a glass nail and dome. I tried to take a hit on the nail and couldn't get one. I couldn't really figure out heating it

I heat my glass nail on my small glass rig for about 1 full minute and then dab. I do one side for 20 seconds, the top for 20 seconds, then the other side for 20 seconds. I just use a small cheap hand torch on medium setting.

i heat up the bottom of the banger until slightly glowing orange, then heat up 1 vertical side a little bit. wait 5 seconds and dab up, cap with flat piece of glass, those banger caps that are out there are terrible. flat piece of glass ftw carb cap

My friends use a timer , I believe 30-40 seconds. Really depends if you want a low temp dab or a high temp one.
I go until my quarts is red , put my finger underneath the quartz and see what heat level I like.
Both low temp and high temps have there benefits. If you want to be 0-100 real quick then high temp ; want some gnarly flavors , low temp that shit!
Enjoy when you first start dabbing is best. The highs are awesome!
