I call it familiarity. Use something for a while and you get comfortable with its quirks.

I also don't buy that "glazing" your pot hocus pocus. After you've been benching for a bit, you've equilibrated your pot temps with the insulation and hardware around it. Means there is less of a temp sink that absorbs changes and your pot becomes more "responsive". Reaching that point often coincides with having reached a coldbug and needing to torch. Thus the association (in my mind).

But hey, I'm not one to bash established dogma and superstition. I like benching with an anvil nearby. Whatever makes the stars align in your bench session is good.

most of the subzero guys believe that there is such a "seasoned pot" ......blah blah blah...i don't buy it also...tried v2-v3's pot and a brand new pot....the brand new pot reacted way more predictable...

anyways...i.always reach for the critical point....don't over fill...its just a waste if you have a cb...torch it ..then you're all good...
