I'm just breaking hearts today...

We have no plans to make a carb'ed gong. /

No problem. Sounds like you folks already have enough just trying fill all those orders.

It does get me thinking of a homebrew solution however.

Now I haven't heated glass since making right angle bends in high school science class. :science: But I'm imagining a vice, a dremel bit, a propane torch, an epic gong and a small piece of glass tubing.

First drill a small hole in the side of a gong, heat up that hole with the torch, widen the hole a bit with an awl, heat a small piece of boro glass tubing and fuse it to the open hole. Carb'ed gong???

Trouble? :nod:

Can anyone tell me if the new machine-made gongs are significantly different or better than the old handmade ones?

The last two pieces of Nano glass that I have had problems with were recent pieces, one broke in transit, other was an out of spec WP that slipped down the heater cover till it hit the screen. Both pieces are still in use, one is now a reducer and the other got patched and is in daily use. I am not sure if my experience is typical but it is what it is.

The end of the stem broke off in transit so I just pushed a piece whip tubing over the end and its back in business,

Have you seen this...or others like it? Works perfectly with a Enano GonG and provides a carb function:

He makes it in 14 mm also...its on his site.

looking at my cart of Epicvape for the black friday :uhoh: composed of an
Aroma therapy cup , one E-Pick and 2 Basket Screens... I see that the international shipping costs are for First Class Mail: $60.00 and Priority Mail International $189.00 :hmm:
two days ago this expenses were different ... I think the epic guys are having problems on the web ?? :shrug:

AFAIK they are having some issues with the program, but I may be wrong. I hope that this is some problem with the software used to calculate the shipping costs..otherwise I may have to wait until I make can a bigger order for it to be economically viable.

@Whissmu Great pics, incredible work from your models. Not taking away from your photography skillz, which are mad indeed. But with those subjects, truly best pic of 2017. And this thread has better photos than most. Just sayin'...

@snackmaster I'm not sure if I'm picturing this correctly in my mind, so please help me. If (the universal) you or (Royal) We were to stick a small amount of degummed hemp fibre in that globe section, would that collect any reclaim/particulate and keep ones's glass cleaner? Or no?

Hope all you Nano-loving Americans have great Thanksgiving! Even though my sons have never been in the US for Turkey Day, yet they expect the proper pilgrim feast. Long ago, I negotiated the limit at a bird, 4 sides, and one dessert for our family of 4. Anything more is madness if I am preparing it; and my wife does the cranberries.

@Baron23 My wife isn't a big cook either, although she's learned more over the years. Unlike your lady, she didn't invite 12 people over! Can't stop thinking and chuckling about you doing a turkey and stuffing and dressing out three ducks. Don't know how you're juggling it all, but I have every confidence in you.

My mom made sure I could cook, sew, the basics. Looking back on it, I don't think she was very hopeful that I would find anyone to put up with me. So growing up, my sons always brought stuffed animals to me for surgery and if they needed cupcakes or a dish for school, it was dad on duty. I'm so glad Mom thought I was a wild-child, pain in the ass, high maintenance asshole who would never change!

Got a loooooong stem & some basket screens coming my way, BIG love to Andy & Nadia! Would have been much more but I'm no-income sack. Isn't that how you put it @ataxian ? Did you ever get the pick? As often as you're ordering gongs and you haven't picked up a E-pic for $4? Now, you can't afford not to get one! So very cheap on sale and so close to you, you would have it by next week. CIVILIZED!

@Hjalmark It is just another day in the hood for you & @UnevenPizza LOL! No holiday for you! Whilst you go about the drudgery of the everyday, just know that @Baron23 & every other Nano-loving American will be eating and drinking like Romans at the height of the Empire until falling into a food-coma watching TV, mostly parades and football (or what Americans call football! :worms: JK, no flaming me please) on TV. Most will spend the next 3 days recovering, while the rest of us losers (yes, me too) continue with our sad little lives. I've been in Canada with my wife's family and their feast was no joke. They rolled me on the plane, nearly had to buy a row of seats to lay down because I was so full. Not really, the last part is a lie. The plane wasn't fully booked! :rofl: Talk about an EPIC derailment! Sorry, don't report me please!

Whissmu & Uneven, I bet Nadia will be around to help. I would email via site than DM, she probably checks email more than here. But you may have to reveal the secret identity of your alter-ego! *ominous organ music* to get the sort of EPIC treatment that you deserve. :ninja: I'd do it. Wait, I've done it! It's all good! Running upstairs to hit my Nano before flipping this bird! Nano onward! :clap:

EDIT: Fuck, that's a stupidly long post, sorry brethren! Wait! I'm just making it longer!

I like long posts, to read and to write them. So you'll get no reports from me guv'na ;D

Hahaha, yeah well I think I'm in a similar situation as you are, or maybe more like your sons, I was raised semi-american by americans, but outside of the states. Nice vacations though, Big Sky Country.

I did feel kind of festive though, and I whipped up a Pumpkin Pie from scratch, in the oven now.

I will write them again I think. I asked about it yesterday, and she said they had to increase the costs due to materials/manufacturing becoming more expensive, which I would understand, I was just a bit surprised at how much they increased..and it seems to get more expensive the more items I put in..I think there's a bug in there somewhere.
I don't want to make our convo public though, I don't think they're meant to be so (and if the roles where reversed I wouldn't want it myself).

I'm no Big Spender, but with the Sale going on I would've only saved something like 5 bucks, so it isn't the end of the world if I order after it's over.
And maybe If I did reveal my secret identity, they would knock off a few bucks anyway, but I would never presume that.

Maybe us Europeans can organize a big group-buy and only pay the shipping once, then one of us can distribute it on the continent, maybe that would end up being cheaper? I flunked math several times (don't even ask about Business Administration :huh:) so maybe this idea is not sane.

It won't stop me from praising the nano any chance I get though. Maybe I should write a text I can copy&paste for r/vaporents...I find myself typing "Have you considered a Log Vape?..." pretty often :lol:

Happy Danksgiving my Yankee Friends ;)

Yeah I imagine it would. I'm not a huge fan of hemp fiber and just use basket screens in the end of all my nano gongs to keep glass clean. If you put a basket screen in the joint on the carb piece and hemp fiber in the globe I bet that would keep things immaculate.

This is the style I use and have been very happy with. Cheaper, simpler, etc.

Yes, this looks like a great solution. @Baron23 thanks for your link too, I've seen that piece and just thought it was a bit too big for me.
I have not seen this adapter before but will give it a try.

Happy Turkey Day everyone! I will be vaping before the big meal, so they might as well give me a shovel instead of a fork. I'ma go to town :razz:

Hmm I never got the impression that Thanksgiving was about stuffing your face. But now it becomes clearer. Memories..


We actually went to some Christmas markets, in search of the Golden Waffle, but alas, found none. Only punch, punch, and more hot wine.(I don't drink, so I get the kids menu :party:
)
Cold and hungry we returned home, where my nano was waiting to warm my frosty soul.

About to enjoy some Pie and Video games now, cheers!

Funny, I just learned about these Christmas markets in Europe last night on youtube. They look very cool, especially the food stands.

In reality I rarely am able to stuff my face at the actual dinner table. I go through the whole day snacking on various tid bits and sampling what I'm cooking so that when it's actually time to sit down for the big meal, I'm not that hungry. But give me a few hours and in the evening I'm in the fridge jamming on those left-overs.

The best meal from Thankgiving is making a big sloppy left-over plate of everything covered in gravy. With pie on the side.

Just had me some Cheese (flower) through the nano. I've had the nano running all day so it was warmed up perfectly. I give thanks for my nano also. Now for some football and a few beers. Hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend, even if your in a place that's not celebrating T-day.

I love your sincerity! :tup: I hope everyone thinks like you .. or are they all crazy? ha, ha, ha ...

... but I think I understand to @UnevenPizza and I would answer that for me it is one of the best photos I've ever been able to capture ... :rockon:

I just want to share my fun with you! and have fun with my pictures and many thanks to all for the kind words! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Regarding my basket on the epic website there is still the error of international shipping, I reflects $ 60 when two days ago was $ 22 .. I have contacted them to see if they can fix it and so take advantage of black friday

good weekend and greetings pinks !!

Ahh, looks like there's a flash sale GonGing on today!

*zing*

There wouldn't happen to be any habitual glass breakers here? :lol:
5 for 39$

In other news, there definitely seems to be something weird going on with the shipping calculation..

I had 2 Epic Stickers in my cart (I am a fanboy, yes), which cost 0.00$ Supposedly? I also had a GonG and the Aromatherapy cup in it, shipping was 60$. Then I removed the two stickers and now shipping is 31$?
One sticker back in, shipping is back to 46$.

I'll write CS about this in a sec..in hopes this is only temporary :S
Tried to enter a US Zipcode, shipping is only a few bucks, and doesn't seem to change so wildly when adding/removing items.
I don't have any clue about international shipping though, maybe it's supposed to be like this?

My freshly repaired enano cracked badly

While Nadia assured me they will fix it I didn’t want the beautiful walnut log to be lost

So I filled the crack with aluminiul foil, it looks even more sexy than before
Sorry for the blurry picture but I was blurry too. In real life it is really gorgeous

That looks awesome!

It sucks that it cracked though, I guess that's a bit of the gamble when it comes to working with wood..some trees are just drier or harder.

I get the blurriness :lol: I always see these wonderful scenarios with the nano but for some reason they end up lackluster.

I think the shipping has been sorted out, oh shit. Help me..I just tried it with a fiddleback walnut nano and it's only 240 bucks (shipping included) to europe!!
Are you kidding me! must..fight...VAS...

Someone will be happy.


@SloJimFizz I love stickers ;)

I just had an amazing nano rip, leftover pumpkin pie awaits!

I've been feeling like this for a while and the situation hasn't been corrected. I'm missing @CarolKing bunches around here. The place just ain't the same without a report of what's in the Nano, what's on offer at the local farmers market, and all-around update on the Pacific Northwest. I've repeatedly hoped she is just busy IRL and not under the weather or dealing with anything other than moonbeams & rainbows!
