Ambient temp definitely plays a role with all log vapes. Adjust accordingly.

All of you guys who were asking how to claim the reward points - I just emailed Andy since my order fit the specifications on this page. I imagine if you've ordered after March, just shoot him an email and he'll update the reward points accordingly.

Not as bad as my EQ did with all that glass that needs preheated. And I remember a user posting about needing to use a blow torch to preheat his Solo, trying to use it in a unheated garage in the winter, too funny.
I'm curious, what about the opposite end?
If I leave my nano on for so long at normal setting (6), it will easily char my load unless I cool the nano off a bit with a fan. Does anybody else have this issue?

Does the aluminum sleeve/SS center post just slide out of the wood once you unscrew the bottom? I don't own a nano yet so would still love pictures if anyone can provide them.

I haven't had that issue. I let mine run at 7.5 and it hasn't happened. My unit is a little older though.

I use to travel a lot!
In the air every week almost.
Never in my life would I even conceive
taking any thing remotely related to cannabis on a trip?
Keep your gear at home.
Your stress level will thank you!
Keep it at home as a treat!

If it was a normal trip I would agree but I'm going to be gone anywhere from 1-2 years, so anything I don't carry with me I'll be selling before I leave. I would like to bring at least 1 vaporizer along for the ride and I figure the nano is one of the least conspicuous looking vaporizers while still being able to be fully cleaned. Going to go in my checked luggage of course, not like I'm bringing it though airport security.

Buy it, take it with you before use, clean when you're ready to come back. If clean enough, ship it home. If not, sell it.
I'd just throw it in a ziploc with an aroma bowl and some potpourri and put it in my checked bag. If this may be too suspicious for your comfort, create a fake aromatherapy diffuser label, stick it on a properly sized box and throw it all in. Or, just ship it home like that from a fake company name. Not like you're going to be there to get into any trouble if it comes back.
Actually not sure why all the concern. The only part of the nano itself that gets close to anything you need to be worried about is the end of the heating element - and if there is contact there you're not doing something right. You may get a little duff down inside of it if you tip it up with a roasted load (easy to roast on high and blow or vacuum out). Or, might get some in the "cup" around the heating element. That can be easily cleaned with a q-tip and ISO if necessary. You can also clean the glass spotless. The only thing to worry about may be the screen(s), but they clean up easily too, and can be replaced for $1 each.
So, I can't resist asking anymore... why so anxious for pics of disassembled unit/components? Trying not to make assumptions, but seems kind of odd to have 3 total posts to FC and 2 of them are asking for pics of the components of one of the most popular vapes around.

The heating element is the part I'm worried about and I'm asking for pictures to try and figure out if the metal sleeve actually comes out or not so I can actually access the heating chamber to clean it. There have been a bunch of people mentioning in this thread you can disassemble the nano but no one specifically mentions if you can fully remove the metal sleeve.

Dude I think he wants to see it open to figure out how to clean the insides thoroughly. I for one would not take my Nano anywhere on a plane without first disassembling the heater/cables and opening up the unit for a thorough clean of the inside of the SS cylinder that the heating element sits inside.
Clean with ISO. Clean thoroughly. Anyone who had a cleaning Nazi for a mother will appreciate how thorough I am talking!
Also, I posted photos earlier in this thread of the unit disassembled.
You can clean the inner cylinder, the Nano should be great for travel. Do be aware that you may have issues with the wood rather than cannabis if you are travelling internationally.
Edit: Fellow Nano lovers, I would not be concerned about someone trying to reverse engineer the Nano. A good engineer could probably do this without even disassembling the unit. Like I've said ever since opening up and understanding the Nano, this is the zippo of flower vapes. Very simple, very few different components, very effective.

I'm sure I will, just need to get Andy's opinion on my voltage findings out of the dimmer and see whether he agrees that this is pointing to the heater as the issue. We have it down to one of two components really, unless I go whole hog and replace all the cabling. The unit really only have the wires in the bottom of the main unit (the section isolated from the vapor path), the dimmer switch (which is all one unit), the main power cable itself and the ceramic heater. Those are the only parts that could be damaged. I have fix a burned out terminal in the bottom of the main unit and removed a damaged piece of wire from the 240v load. This does indicate that the 240v did travel up and cause damage past the dimmer though. I think these bits of evidence suggest that I have a cooked heater.
Here's an E-Nano Teardown pic.
Note the Dimmer/power cord (on left), ceramic heater (white piece in the middle), LED (to the right of the heater), Black bottom cover (to the right of LED), Main wood/stainless steel assembly (hole here is filled with ceramic plug on the bottom of the heater, keeping wires separate from vapor path). The little white top-hat looking thing at the bottom is one of the closed end 10A crimp terminals to join the power, LED and heater wires together. This is truly the zippo of vaporizers. Really follows the scientific principle of parsimony (that the simplest design to address the desired function is best, see Occam's Razor for all those budding herb philosophers with some time to kill) in the design. Well done Andy!
@herbivore21 oh nice somehow I missed your post when going through the thread. That makes everything a bit clearer. What holds the heating element in place so it does not drop down into the wiring, is it something that might get loose after taking it apart more than a few times?

It is a ceramic plug man, it has been perfectly fine taking out and replacing several times for me when I repaired my nano after running 240v through it accidentally when I first got it lol
Heating elements are press fit in. The flange on the element is unfortunately not consistent in size so some units require a shim. If you decide to take the element out of the sheath your element may rattle when you put it back together. This is one of the reasons you void the warranty if you take it apart.
There is very little chance of anything falling through the screen that protects the element and if a speck did make it's way in there it would be sufficiently charred as to to be unrecognizable if you turn the nano up to 10 for a few minutes.
I travel everywhere with my aroma therapy device (Nano) but I don't travel with dirty stems, I leave them behind.

I have, ambient heat at 7 for me after 30-40mins can char part of my load slightly. When ambient heat builds to a certain point, I blow on the heating element a little bit before taking another hit, seems to balance it out quite well. I also start inhaling faster.

Fingers are crossed for tomorrow! I cant wait any longer! neither can my buddy because he is inheriting my LSV the second I get my nano! Still need to find some pieces to pair up with the nano however. So far Ive got my vapor bros hydrator and the "roor" matrix china perc bubb. I remember my hydratubes pairing up with it very well but I would always put a screen on top and the bottom of load and that got a little old.

Thanks for this correction brother, I should have clarified my experience is limited only to my v1 exotic Nano and a friends Walnut v1 Nano
Have you travelled internationally with your Nano my friend? I am curious to see how the Nano fares (no pun intended) on a plane!
I'll have a new customer for you soon by the way, keep up the great work Andy

Just ordered my Nano so its coming to the UK am excited about it and also cautious but that is down to needing a stepdown converter.I have images of me powering it with a plug adapter and frying the unit.
I nearly bought a Herbalaire Elite since thats easy to get in the UK.Then I remembered that importing the LSV wasn't painful just the part of seeing all the tracking especially "awaiting customs clearance"
I've dipped into this thread before however finally made my impulse buy last night after seeing some more videos of it in action.
Vape wise I have the following in order of purchase...Puffit X, Plenty, Solo, Palm 2.0, LSV and a Lotus.Out of the vapes I own I only really use the LSV and the Solo.Lotus is my Solo backup but lighter I bought broke and haven't bought a new one yet but really should do.So once the nano arrives I think I might be favoring it over the LSV very excited to be part of the club nano.My poor old plenty will be getting sold at some point as its a herb hog and although spacer helps it is not the best really favors a full chamber.
I have gone off topic a few times but other than the voltage issue which I have seen posted on here which stepdown is required, anything else tobe mindful of?I have ordered a Cherry Nano, with 19mm GonGs and a spare one plus a 14mm GonG for good measure and an extra Glass stem.I will be mainly hitting it through water as since trying out the solo through water I fell in love with bongs and water tools.Have four glass pieces two of which are vertical bubblers one is the PNWT and other a custom made piece by a glass blower. I just need some fancier big glass pieces I think then I am all set as happy with both small pieces.

I don't know about the Nano, but I've carried the MFLB on the plane several times nationally as well as internationally after just a quick ISO cleansing with the brush and a thorough spot-check on the carrying case and its contents. I once had my luggage pulled apart by Frankfurt customs (hate that airport) because they were looking for something with batteries that I hadn't declared. I told them the MFLB was my asthma inhaler, they asked no questions. Turns out they were looking for my electric shaver haha.
I imagine that what Andy said (a few minutes on ten would char anything to an unrecognisable ash) would make the vape more than clean enough to carry it with you. But then again, that's just me, I'm not that worried because a vaporiser isn't anywhere near the worst thing I've travelled with between continents.

I think traveling with devices should be a separate thread and I don't want to derail this one. That said, I just got back from Mexico by car, The customs agent questioned my Nano and I told them it was an aroma therapy device (I leave used stems behind). End of story.Thanks for this correction brother, I should have clarified my experience is limited only to my v1 exotic Nano and a friends Walnut v1 Nano

Does anyone else clean their screens with Q-Tips after a session? I find doing this with the GonG helps to preserve taste and greatly increases the duration you can use a screen. I also wedged a second screen underneath the first one, except it is upside down like a baskest(to help further filter plant particulates).
I find doing those two steps and rinsing my Mobius after a session leaves me with virtually no other maintenance. I may have to soak the GonG in ISO once every couple months but that is fast and easy.
I just love this E-Nano sooo much!
Edit: I am going to use my E-Nano to try and convert some co-workers. They are already sold on the money saving and health aspects, they just need to experience a vaporiser. They only knew about pens, so I think they may be astonished.
