They say It’s not the size of your heat tube that matters it’s how you use it.
Or thats what guys are saying who have small heat tubes at least. I can neither confirm or deny this though.

so more friction on your heat tube would make it hotter?

Get yourself a small oil filled radiator, one with a dial control, makes it much easier to dial in unless you’re gonna get yourself an inkbird to control the heat tube
