The higher the temp, the more the fats and lipids will burn off, making it very hard to breathe after the hit.  Many people feel they can not breathe for up to 15 minutes after a hot dab.

Another major thing we find about low temp dabs is you get more hits.  These hits are less harsh so you can actually take in more.  Also, if you have x amount of dabs and on a hot dab you get 1 inhale.  Your body can only absorb so much.   But if you take that same dab at a lower temp and get 5 inhales, look your body can absorb it more.

What aspect of boro makes it difficult to connect certain colors?; Is this the same aspect that make certain colors more difficult than others to use in general?

It comes down to the minerals and amount of minerals added to the glass.  The more saturaged with minerals, like black takes a lot of heat to move it.  It has a lower visocity.  But they connect fine

Sometimes for instance, if you have lined tubing and one side is all dark, and the other side is light, it will kinda pull to the dark.  It is harder to work, but works when you know how.
