How do I pick exotic woods on your website? The only option available is the 3 classic woods even if I pick deluxe or exotic kit.
Thanks, I guess they must have updated it since I last checked a few days ago. Should've checked again before I posted, my bad!When I click the Exotic Wood Kit link it bings up the wood choices of Fiddleback or Crotch walnut, or Male Burl.

@ACE OF VAPE U know I love your work?
I love your MAPLE NANO. (One day?)
My WALNUT work’s very well!
BLING is in fashion.
@Dynavaper got KUSH and LARRY OG + KIEF + ROSIN 50/50 thc & CBd = safer than milk?
Hmm, you may need to clear your browser cache. Im not able to replacate the issue you're having and we've had orders in with other wood options today. If you email me at customerservice@epicvape.com I can help troubleshoot.How do I pick exotic woods on your website?

Wow! Just, Wow! DM me, please. I could use some of your talents if you are looking for some work?Pipe dreaming (make that Nano dreaming)
So during the last rainy stretch, stuck inside with the computer, the Nano and some fine Rainy Day Women I doodled up a concept of a semi wireless Nano with a magnetic power connector.

95% of Nano failures were terminal a connector coming loose usually caused by a hapless Nano doing a nose dive off a desk onto a hardwood or concrete floor. About 3% are cords going bad, and only about 2% are heater failures. As Yogi Berra would say.' the other x% is user error.'Morning folks
As I have a broken Nano incoming for repair from a mate, who acquired it 2nd hand, can somebody here please tell me, what’s the outer diameter of its heater cover/tube?
Apart from the functional defect (which hopefully shouldn’t pose much of a problem to fix, as long as the heater itself is not damaged -my money is on a lose terminal connection there or a broken cord, for which I hopefully already found a replacement-), it also comes without stems/GonGs and so I’d like to see, if I can find some fitting glass here on the European vape- or lab glass market, that can be utilised there or even cut some fitting stainless steel slide over tips myself, if I can’t find fitting glass.
Me mate might later on resort to getting some original stems/GonGs directly from Epicvape, but as importing Nano parts from the US to Europe still poses quite a hassle for the time being, I like to see first, if I can fix the unit and make it work again with what’s easily available here locally.
Having some days left before the little bugger arrives to have its problem fixed, I could then already place the orders for glass or steel, before it arrives. But for that, I need, as already stated, the OD of the heater tube.
Nice score!
Thanks in advance![]()
The wood is ambrosia maple, I just picked up some and it is really special. They will be an option under exotics starting next week.Thanks, I guess they must have updated it since I last checked a few days ago. Should've checked again before I posted, my bad!
The woods look gorgeous, so hard to decide what to get. Anyone know what type of wood the white and orange stripey one pictured on the deluxe e nano kit link is https://epicvape.com/product/e-nano-deluxe-standard-wood-kit/#wood-choice? It doesn't appear to come up when I pick the deluxe or exotic kit options, but damn it looks beautiful. Is it available for sale?
edit: 1 more question, are there exotic wood counterparts for the e-nano stand? The website only lists the classic woods for the stand, even if I'm choosing an exotic e-nano kit. Was hoping for a matching set.

If no light comes on using a straight-thru cord (no dimmer, i.e. stereo cord) It's most likely a loose terminal connector.
If the light comes on but you get no heat. It's most likely a failed heater.
For the record we use 14mm glass tubing with 2.2m heavy wall thickness. All glass tubing varies a little (very frustrating!) We flame polish the ends and bring the ID down to 9.3mm. The tubes are then annealed overnight to remove any stress induced by the cutting/polishing process.
The heater tube is .375" stainless steel rod (9.53mm) machined down on the tip to: .360 (9.13-9.15mm), this leaves a stop on the heater tube for the glass to sit.
The difference between the 9.3mm ID on the glass and the 9.15 OD on the heater tube is to allow for the expansion of the stainless steel when it gets hot. BTW we ship internationally virtually everyday (45 countries to date and counting) and have had very few customs issues or delays except for Germany.
When Isay we have had difficulty with shipping to Germany, most if not all the issues have been with complete kits. Their concerns/complaints about the unit itself not being CE certified (which is why we don't currently make a specific 220v european version), and they wanted the instructions translated into German. To my recollection I don't believe we've had any issues shipping accessories to Germany I would have to check with Nadia to be sure.Thank you for all the detailed info there, @ACE OF VAPE
..."except for Germany" being the operative term here, which is why I want to try finding or making some fitting glass or steel tubing for tips/stems myself first

Yep. Aware of the 'no CE certification drama' and our over sensitive customs here, and the costs for CE are beyond good & evil anyway, to say the leastWhen Isay we have had difficulty with shipping to Germany, most if not all the issues have been with complete kits.

Second this. This is a great little piece, reasonably priced, and Pete is great to do business with.One of my favorite sizes with about the right amount of diffusion is linked below.

Exotic wood stands? I've tried but the wood is expensive, they are very labor intensive and you really can't appreciate the beauty of the wood with all the holes drilled in them, so we don't offer them. If I did, they would be a very expensive special order, and the wood would not necessarily match properly.
Mods: Sorry about the back to back post. Please feel free to merge as I'm not web smart enough.

Second this
After seeing a few posts about cracking nanos, I have to ask... Is there any risk to continue using one that’s cracked? I got my walnut unit a few months ago and it cracked within the first week but I’ve continued to use it because I’d miss it too much if I had to send it away.
