Best temperature to dab at

For those of you who smoke a lot of oil or own an E-nail, what's your favorite temperature to dab at? Do you prefer lower or higher temps and why?
I personally prefer low temp dabs, and set my enail to just around 700 Fahrenheit on my Quartz nail for most waxes and oils. However, I do appreciate some dabs as low as 600 or so, but feel that I get more out of my concentrates closer to 700. In addition, I know a few people who enjoy their dabs really hot- well over 800- but I feel that these temperature ranges don't preserve terpenes or potency.
What's your opinion on dab temperature

Is that just what your enail says because alot of them are programmed way different like the numbers a lot of the time don't mean that's the temperature. Having said that I love low temp dabs with carb caps on quarts bangers. I'll heat it up let it sit for ~45 seconds and then hit my dab.

I like low temp dabs way more than high temp.
I kinda hate that my friends all dab with red hot nails lol
I don't have an enail though I just am good enough at dabbing to Guage the temp.
I like to let my nail cool down enough to where I almost leave some oil left on the nail(but not quite). Tastes good.

According to a few sources that I can't recall at the moment, the ideal temperature will vaporize 97% of the dab, leaving 3% to dissipate into the air. I find that temperatures between 650-700 with a carb cap gets me the closest to this ratio.
Another thing to be considering is that electronic dab nails will have an actual temperature lower than what is displayed on the e-nail unit. For dabbing on regular nails, it's good to wait 15-30 seconds or longer after heating to be in this temperature range.

Low temp dabs for sure.
I get my quartz banger red hot, let it sit for 25 seconds, then I dab.
After 25 the seconds the quartz is just hot enough to bubble away at the wax and keep it going while I cap it.
