Yes, I use a dental tool as well for stirring, can't decide whether it's better than the e-pic or not (it probable is for stirring). It also works to quickly clean the stem of any particles and also for moving the bowl and such. Thanks for the chopstick idea.

This sounds weird, but I've found the most success using a 22g 3ml syringe and needle. I pull out the stopper and use that to tamp down if I want it slightly less fluffy, and use the needle to both stir the herb and to poke clogged bits through the all glass path screen when cleaning.

Here are the promised pics. Just want to thank @Snappo and Andy for making it happen so fast. Snappo got the blank I bought to Andy in 3 days and then it was shipped out in a week. I knew it was small from comparison pics but I was pretty blown away by how small the nano was. I was even more blown away by how high it has gotten me from so little material. Running a third of the material that I was using in a Volcano sesh and getting way higher boggles my mind. Last pic is of my new inline to honeycomb bubbler and frit ashcatcher from Kathy from DHGate and my ebay claisen, lighting isn't the best as I had to hold it steady.

My screens are snug and I have not had a problem with it slipping. I ordered an extra stem and it is super tight. It will go into place but it takes effort and kind of snaps into position. I am afraid it will brake! I think it will be kept for a back up.
Also my gong is not ground. Should the 19mm joint be ground glass?

Yeah, my 14mm stem from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd is really tight with the basket like yours (I leave it in place and soak the whole thing in ISO to clean!). I still use it whenever I need a 14mm GonG.

Your GonG from EV is fire polished, supposedly to prevent from sticking like ground glass joints can.

I've always appreciated a good screen that can come off easy for faster cleaning from my HA mouthpiece, I was thinking a while back about getting the E-nano back when I was comparing and researching all vaporizers on FC, but one of the things that discouraged me was that I was not sure how easy it would be to get the screen off to be able to clean it from both sides and all edges for instant fast cleaning for when every hole is clogged completely.

Tomorrow will be one week. My stem and screen need to be cleaned. I have not cleaned the screen yet other than stirring. I ordered extra screens and I don't think it was necessary.

It is easy to clean the stems come with a plastic vial.. in this vial you put your stem and iso then soak it for 10 to 20 min.... sometimes i pop the screen with a chop stick out of the stem and and let it soak in iso... and after that all is like brand new.... cleaning is really no issue....

Let me just clarify here, I wasn't complaining... it's been less than 2 weeks and I'm in the UK. I was kind of expecting (hoping) 2 weeks for my delivery.
Dunno about yours, but I'm sure it's just an oversight, EpicVape are a small co, and I'm sure they're not going to piss you about over a $25 gong intentionally...

How dirty do y'all let your stems/GonGs get? And how much do you think it effects taste?

I've added a piece of silicone tubing and a mouthpiece to my stem to extend it by a couple inches. Really takes the burn away and the cigar shaped MP makes me feel like a boss, :tup:. Thanks @SSVUN~YAH

I don't usually let them get very dirty...the smell offends me so i'm quick to clean with ISO just like my OCD glass cleaning.

However, from time to time I do let them gunk up as much as possible, and then after use when it's still warm, I use a wooden skewer with a whisp of cotton on the end and "clean" the gong/stem. I then proceed to roll into a ball and vape it away in the Nano on high temp - Concentrate Cloud Heaven!

Only thing I clean with frequency is the screen. I'll let my gongs go until I can't see through them any longer though.

I find since I'm vaping through water, a clean screen is all that's needed to prevent unwanted flavors from occurring. Your results may vary though.

Also I'm not talking about dry path stems.

I'm always paranoid that the reclaim will start leaking out of the bottom of the gong.

Does anybody reclaim their screen resin?

I've never had this happen.

And i only reclaim "gong hash". I burninate anything on my screens with a torch.

Edit: I should note I put an EQ screen in the bottom of my gongs. This prevents larger particles (read: almost everything but vapor) from passing down into my water tool.

Do you reclaim or throw the alcohol out when finished?

Oh Caligula, you savant

I tried this because I'm out of ISO, and was given a little surprise from the burning of the clogged screen. Found that it leaves a nice little surprise :).

Earwax is gonna end up being my favorite color I think.

Quoted a post of mine from a while back showing how I do it.
