E-Nano from Epickai

To be honest the best silicone I recommend is the thick style silicone. So 3/8ths ID and I believe 5/8ths OD someone correct me if I'm wrong. The 1/2 OD Works good but I prefer the thicker stuff cu it makes a better seal. You can buy it in several
Places, just gotta make sure it's high temp silicone.
Well, it has been a week since the wrong shipment arrived and after emailing with Andy it doesn't appear that I am any closer to receiving the rest of my vaporizer. This is getting frustrating.

The FLAVOR with GLASS path!Yes ^. that is the glass screen.
Why waste money?
This thing is EPIC!
GSC help!
Long time lurker, first time poster. Just signed up to say I just got my E-Nano and it's pretty cool.
I've got an MFLB, a Solo, a Plenty and now the E-Nano. Pretty sure the E-Nano will be my daily driver.
I prefer packing micro-loads because I feel like it keeps me honest. With small loads I feel like I'm never hitting it just to finish the bowl. I'm also cheap and like to stretch my product as far as I can.
The nano's giving me pretty good results with very small amounts loaded. It does well with larger amounts too, but for that I could use the Plenty. With the nano I'm loading small pinches that don't even register on my smallest scale. And it delivers a couple of real nice puffs off of that, which is just what I'm looking for right now.
It also heats up pretty quickly. Especially if you leave it on a low setting. I was skeptical about really doing that but leaving it on 3 or so it's barely even warm to the touch. But even from off it's ready to go in well under 3 minutes IMO.
I've got the pinch stem which uses the metal screen. Like others here I was having trouble with the included screen coming loose in the middle of my sessions. I messed around with it for a while and then decided to try a bigger size screen that I got for the Solo. The bigger screen is a little crammed in there but it is also staying in place quite nicely. Airflow doesn't seem to be impeded so for now that's what I'm using. I may pick up one of the all glass stems in the future.
So that's my little review. A good working, good looking unit for a price that doesn't break the bank. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
BTW, I ordered mine on a Sunday and had it in my hands the following Saturday. So pretty good service on the shipping front for me although the status on the website is not very helpful.

I really don't think you can do much better than the eNano for a plug-in unit and absolutely love it with my Travel Beaker.
Big beautiful, delicious vapor.
I just ran into a little extra cash, if there is such a thing and am thinking seriously about picking up a Solo. Basically to vape on the back porch and in my studio without having to unplug the Nano which is next to my recliner where it belongs.
My question and the reason I'm posting in this thread is the eNano is the only vaporizer I have and I know a lot of you have both and so can provide the best "what to expect".
I will be using it only with the stem as I'm set with the Nano for other paths.
I'm getting better with my stem technique working on a happy medium between, too harsh but visual vape and not too harsh but not much vapor.
How will the Solo compare in that regard and just generally... anything you can think of. The Solo's stem is larger so I was wondering if the vape is a bit less harsh with those bigger hits I see people taking with them.
Thanks!

So far (and I'm still experimenting with the eNano so it's possible my opinion will change) it seems like the quality of the hits between the eNano and the Solo are pretty similar. The airflow on the Solo is pretty restricted as you've probably read. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but it does kind of force you to take long, slow, thick hits. And those hits can be a little on the hot/harsh side.
Since you have a little more control over the airflow on the eNano it seems like to an extent at least you can decrease harshness/heat by drawing harder and faster. But of course you don't get as thick of a cloud.
The only direct-hit vape I've used that gives a really smooth, cool hit is the Plenty. Which is a pretty nice unit but it's expensive, it has a cord and it's not very efficient with your product at all.
All that said I've been pretty damn happy with the Solo. It's easy to use, the battery lasts a decent while and it delivers good tasting, potent vapor. I mostly got the eNano because a)I was getting tired of charging up my battery all the time and b) it seemed like the new hotness.
Now I plan to use the Solo only when I need it's portability. For all else I plan to use the eNano.

This is just my personal opinion and I've stated it before on this forum. It's also a minority opinion.. but for me I sold my Solo simply because it didn't seem as potent as my MFLB. Its definitely a quality device and I've experimented with all the settings and tried different stems (including Ed's TNT which I liked a lot).. but it didn't get me as high. The other reason why I ditched it is because it didn't really fit in my usage. I do things while vaping so I gotta have on-demand vaping. With the MFLB since its conduction, it heated it all almost immediately when I needed a hit and didn't cook herbs when I left it alone.. with the E-Nano which is much closer to pure convection than the Solo (Solo is more of an in-between conduction/convection), I can leave it on and the herbs are fine until I take a draw from it. E-Nano gets me higher than even my MFLB. With the Solo, I was also tired of constantly waiting for the unit to heat back on every time I turned it off when taking a break so the herbs won't keep cooking. Also take note that with the MFLB, I was already experienced with the draw technique so that might have to do a lot with why I felt it was more effective at medicating than the Solo. To the casual user the Solo would be better and would probably be more similar to the E-Nano but in my opinion not as potent and conservative with the materials. Lastly.. the Solo produced weird flavors sometimes. I know this was supposed to be fixed on the newer models, but I had a newer one and it still produced a strange synthetic flavor at times.
I totally agree the MFLB has it's good points. It's pretty much instant on/instant off and that is awesome and pretty unique to the MFLB. It also gives you a lot of control so you can really conserve the product with it. And it's tiny, you can use it one-handed and it's pretty tough, so good for toting around.
But it's also pretty futzy and for me at least it didn't do a very good job of heating the product evenly, resulting in black spots and burnt flavors. And I found I really had to kind of concentrate on it to get a really good hit. It was my daily driver for over a year though and I think makes a great 'gateway' vape for those switching from combustion due to the instant on ability.

I almost never get combustion anymore with the MFLB. You just have to shake the Box after each hit and have to be aware of how you're hitting. The bonus is if you do want to get extra out of the buds in there.. you can push it a little further until it gets near combustion. Even browned AVB you can squeeze more out of by combusting if you don't mind it. I know it defeats the whole purpose of those who wanna vape and avoid combustion.. but for the casual users who aren't completely against a little combustion, its quite handy.
With all that said.. E-Nano is definitely my daily of choice. Despite having MFLB's usage being second nature to me now.. the E-Nano is still easier to produce thick clouds and its definitely easier on the throat due to its longer airpath.
We have a thread for the MFLB and this isn't it. This is the Nano thread, so let's stick to that shall we?

I use the NANO DAILY.
However I never stopped using my SOLOS.
The effects are different.
Taste is very good with the SOLO.
However I find the NANO to be sweet like the CHEAP VAPOLUTION just easier for water path set ups.
The size of the NANO is perfect.
So my FLOWER usage has almost doubled with the addition of the NANO.
I ran out of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES and had to switch to GOD'S GIFT over the week-end.
I use all my vaporizers as I did before.
The NANO has given me reason to medicate more.
NANO with a water rig!
Life sucks much less when you NANO!

Almost there...
Sorry Ataxian...
Seems like the Nano is doing it's job admirably for you!!!
You make me want to look for water rigs!!!

I'm looking for new glass currently.
Clarity and size with a small mouth piece.
The NANO paired with water is complete GOURMET!
I like my vaporizers however I've out grown my glass!

SVE,
Pretty positive I got yours, you got mine thing happened. If it makes you feel any better, I ordered my Nano in January, received it well into March. Had it for less than a month and the wood cracked. Sent my original in for replacement with an order for two gongs about 3 weeks ago, got the glass a week or so later with no Nano. Emailed to let him know and received your piece a couple days later which would be great but not the wood I preferred. I haven't received the next one yet either.
On the bright side Andy did hook me up with a gong on my original order for free and is letting me keep the stem that came with your Nano for my troubles. Nobody is perfect I guess, and he seems plenty willing to make things right.
My second Nano's heater seems to take a bit longer to come to temp and where my old one's sweet spot was right at 6, this one is more like 6 3/4. The cord on this one is more flexible, which works better. The temp dial on the second one is upside down in comparison to the old one. There were no laser engraving marks on the wood but the engraving is now located on the bottom base metal. Overall an excellent device for its purpose!

chillin on the couch, sippin off a 22 ounce.
Right on! Ever since I got my Nano in it's been the same story with me as well. With the all-glass stem the hits are on par with my SSV, yet I'm using a third of the amount. The vapor tinge is that icy light blue with no white in sight. I've settled on 6 1/2 pretty much exclusively too. I get two awesome hits and after stirring the bowl, one more good hit.

He's a really busy guy but definitely will try to make things right if a customer isn't satisfied. When I got the Nano, he let me stop by the warehouse to pick up the Nano so I didn't have to wait over the weekend for shipment. Luckily I work 5 minutes from the shop. Lately he's sending me silicone for my stem because my clumsy ass keeps spilling the herbs. Told me it'll give a tighter fitment without stressing the glass that would otherwise occur when sticking glass directly on metal.
