thoroughly vaped
Glad to help @Chill Dude ! Still really lovin my nano after more than a year, and think it remains the best bang for the buck plug-in vape.
Haven't met an Ed's stem in person yet (on my shopping list), but plenty of pics in the last 15 pages or so and as you see others love them. My Joda stem is also a tad smaller than the stock, but is tapered which I think helps airflow (screen works either direction. I go basket away from nano). I think most of his are similar in size to the stock, but all custom so a bit different. Joda & stock are about same harshness. See my post last page mentioning cotton. It will tone down harshness considerably, and collect vapor goo to vape later.
Nano stays at temp level way beyond solo. Have only used a cloud a couple times one night, and was pretty buzzed & kinda drunk in group setting - but is only thing I have tried that does this as well. I would say better, but had limited use and don't know if you can really do "better" than nano in this regard. The HI is also supposed to do very well here, but probably still a few months from finding out myself!
I haven't tried to check actual temps, but neither I nor any one of my 7-8 friends who use my nano on occasion can drain the heat. If you hit it harder or faster it just gives more vapor. Can be kind of weird coming from other vapes, where more pull/airflow sucks the heat down. Also can give a lung busting cough if you try to outpace her! Much discussion about it here, but think this is due to AC power and this heating element. Whatever the case, solo just can't compete here.
Yes... full solo load will do at least 3, 2-hit nano loads. I do call them 2-hit as that is what the innovator @Caligula named them. But, mine usually go 3 with the third being wispier. Just hard to use little enough easily for my personal 2 hit load. And, even if I load a bit more (to aim for 3-4 hits), after 2 the flavor and intensity noticeably drops off. These hits are by no means "bad" in any way, just not as good as the first 2.
I actually do load like this (and sometimes a bit more) often. Last night was watching a movie. Before movie I did two 2-hit loads to get there. Then I kick the heat up 1/2 notch, bump the screen down, double or triple the load size and take a few hits when I feel like it. Stir after those two and set it aside until I want another hit or 2. Depending on my mood and the movie, these 8 - 12 hits will carry me through to the credits.
Min heat is 0
! I'd guess top heat "11", is well over 500 F (550?). Probably don't want to go there unless you're doing concentrates (which I can't get unless I make 
), and am thinking concentrates through dry stem would be pretty wicked (wicked harsh and wicked buzz!). Around 5 on dial is about as low as you can go and still get vapor. It's very thin & wispy, but oh so fucking tasty at about 5.5. I'd say don't get too caught up on exact temp number, same as with any vape. Once you use it a few times you'll get a feel for what you like in dial setting, and can pretty easily gauge how a 1/4 setting or more either direction is going to effect temp. For me, with my nano/dial, my stash, my joda stem with some cotton in it and my preferred vapor density, 6 - 6 1/4 dry is the spot. Sometimes go lower, sometimes higher and sometimes start lower and work my way higher (like start around 5 3/4 and work up to a touch more than 6 1/2).Sorry, should have made this clearer above... your 5 minute session time would be on a warmed up nano. You can get it pretty much up to heat in about 5 minutes if you set it on 10 for almost 5 minutes and drop heat down to where you like for a minute or so. I usually just put on my setting and wait 10. This puts it right there every time. You can also leave your nano on all the time. I leave mine on for days at a time with no issue at all. Just kick the heat down to 4 or 5. Takes a minute or 2 to get up to 6-8 from there. If your wood is warm, you're definitely ready to go. But, you can get your good hits while wood is still warming.
Most of this info and much more here in the thread. Check the search function! Don't really want to toot my own horn, but if you do a search of just my posts and read the longer ones from the last few months you should find plenty of great info & tips. Read those closeby to them for even more great info!
EDIT: The chart seems to be a rough guideline. I think this may be why Andy doesn't have it up on the website. It is from his old website. It does seem to be pretty close compared to digital temp on EQ, but really a tough call. Notice the chart only goes to 8. Nano dial goes to 11!! Actually only goes to a touch above 10, but the 11 is on there. Very cool! But, the nano will easily go to temps much higher than the chart shows. Haven't tested in a while but I start combusting around 8 1/2, even with load a good bit further from heating element than I usually have it.
