Quick question, does anyone know the maximum temperature this thing reaches at level 10?

Im currently enjoying some chocolope kush through my bubbler set at 7.3

I also would like to know this. Somebody already posted this below but it stops at 8? So I also want to know the max temp in the air path. Mostly to vape other things than marijuana since I vape my weed at a low level 5.5/6.5 most of the time.



^^^Were those posted by Epic Vape? I don't remember the source I just saved it for future consultation.

Edit: I just remembered the Epic website (https://epicvape.com/product/walnut-e-nano-kit/) saying: You chose the temperature from 0-560F. Does it really reach 560F in the air path?

What is your setting for the ENANO?

Average setting for me is 6.25 on older V1 nano, around 6 on newer one when flowers through a bubbler (about 80% of use). .5 to .75 lower on either for dry stem and/or to keep the buzz light. .5 to .75 higher for couch lock, bedtime, or to clean up leftovers from lighter sessions. Both right around 8.5 for gooey concentrates. A bit higher (9 +/-) for hash. A bit lower (8 +/-) for kief and live resins.

Think both of mine run a bit warmer than most. Dry, ground flower will roast to black quickly at 7.75 or so on either when screen at e-pik depth or a tad deeper. Sometimes as low as 7 if very dry material - usually from a 5.25 - 5.5 in earlier session.

When I use lightly vaped from earlier I usually mix it 50/50 with fresh and use it for heavy buzz, bedtime, knocking back aches and pains, etc. If doing this, I find best to use the lighter session leftovers within 12 hours and try to keep it pretty airtight for that period unless it is humid in the house. If high humidity I leave in sesh dish with a postcard or something on top. That little bit of added moisture seems to make it vape smoother and lets me go to 7 or a tad higher with no scorching.

So, last week I ordered a Carbed 18mm M/F adapter from @Oregonglassblower to use with my non-carbed GonGs. Messing around after work, I tried one of my carbed JoDa GonGs (paging @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd) in combination with the adapter. Wow, that was fun.

One minor complaint I had with the JoDa GonGs was that for the first week I wasn't used to the slight restriction compared to the full clear from the regular practice of removing the GonG while clearing. I say minor, because after a few days I got used to it and this has been the only way I've rolled for the past few months.

With the combination of two carbs, that restriction is gone.. I get a great full clear every time now. You can also "pace" your clear by releasing one carb, shortly followed by the second. If you play an instrument like guitar, woodwind or keyboard, this is a fairly natural process.

Here's a quick and dirty image, I had to place the book in the background to give it some contrast:

Looks fun, but still think easier to just pull the GonG. Restricted airflow the second reason I'm not really a big fan of the carbed GonG on bubbler. First is that I still go to pull it most of the time. Habits like just instinctively pulling the GonG with nano all at once are hard to break! Still thoroughly enjoying the carbed GonG on J-hook, though. Fantastic way to nano IMO!

On the very early GonGs the nano end was a little flared out. Sizing was perfect so you would easily lift GonG using the e-pik. It would catch on the flared out part. This was pre-silicone sleeve, so gave you a way to kind of handle a hot GonG without using your fingers. Also allowed for a clumsy way to pull nano & GonG one handed. Tricky but functional, and no where near as easy as with a rolled piece of silicone. Wondering if the flared out end is coming back with Andy's comments about opening up the nano end for easier screen insertion. Don't know how well this will play as he tries to get a solid blower for these, but I kind of miss that feature on later GonG adapters. Not really certain how practical it would be, either.

Not sure how possible it is to do what I think you're saying. That being to have the e-pik tight enough on the GonG adapter to attach and move it around - like to dump and tap the load out. E-pik would have to "clip" on there in order for it not to fall right off at whatever angle. Tolerances on each would have to be perfect with metal on glass, and even with that think this could get a little dicey with hot glass. The smallest amounts of expansion and contraction could easily make for a dropped GonG and possible burns.

As always... keep in mind this chart is based on averages. When dealing with dials and heating elements in the nano, things can be off from this chart quite a bit. Easily 10%. Think this is why this chart was pulled off epic website long ago. Same is going to be true with max temp to some extent. Both my nanos run a bit differently from each other, but also each individual one is different from power source to power source. On DC>AC inverter (car power) is the greatest difference I've found. But, surge suppressors, extension cords, different wiring in different locations and even different outlets on same breaker box will give slightly different voltages. Since nano is running on straight AC (and not being converted to a specific DC current like other logs), the differences in voltage at the plug will lead to differences in power to heating element - and amount of heat generated. 560F (~295C) is probably close to the temp right at heater port depending on these variables. But, to get a solid number for your nano with your power source you'd have to take a temp. And that temp is going to drop the further away you get, so is going to be lower further up the air path (but still in the air path).

IMO nothing at all wrong with this. Think it is the same with most vapes. Know it is with my EQ which has a digital temp reading that can be set in 5C increments. Much discussion on exactly where in the unit/airpath that is exactly the temp. IME, by the time you're vaping there are so many other variables at play (material, grind, ambient temp, draw speed, etc) that the actual temp and where it is measured makes little difference as long as within a few % of what is on the charts. If you want to use your nano (or any vape) as well as you can, you'll have to figure out those differences with your nano and setup and go from there. I guess it is kind of cool to know that your temp at load is exactly 193.25C (or whatever), but I'd rather know it is just a hair north of 6.25 on my dial when at my regular vaping station, or right at 6.5 when at my girlfriend's plugged into surge supressor, or whatever setting for any situation and adjust as needed from there for all other variables. Not saying any of it isn't important - just that you're not going to have exact results that will be the same across the board. Same as pretty much everything else in life.

I do something very similar.

It's depending on the herb but my Nano temp is 6 or 6.25. I have gone down slightly under 6. I haven't used a water tool much it's been mostly dry. I have had my nano for about 6 weeks and use it most of the time at home.

I've been really impressed with the taste and how the nano allows me to stretch the herb budget. Whether you are a recreational user or a medical one the nano works great. With the ease of use and it's nothing to clean. I usually throw a stem in a jar with ISO and it's clean in no time along with the screen. I haven't even had to change screens yet in the 2 stems I've been using. When my ABV is done I just tap the silicone end on the side of the ABV jar.

I would suggest this vaporizer to the seasoned vaporist or the new comer to the vaping world. I have some GrapeApe in the nano tonight and getting ready for bed. Goodnight friends.

I've had my Nano a similar amount of time, I use mine 50/50 water /dry, depending on my mood. It definitely conserves the flower, for me " less is more", smaller loads give better hits with the dry stem.

I got my nano about 10 weeks ago. I was almost exclusively dry stem. Got a nice JoDa one recently from my wife for my birthday. Lately however I've been really into my d020-d with a downstem and a 14m gong as suggested to me in a pm by@SSVUN-YAH. Lovin the nano. Got a mflb,plenty,pax,crafty,nano and the nano is definetly the go to.

Yeah I was gonna try the opposite by pushing it up past the recommended point and then turn it down. Maybe get better flavour.

Give it a shot let me know how it goes.

I switched my unit to 10 the other night for a fast heat up and forgot about it for a couple hours... More like the entire night.

I woke up and my first hit turned into a fiery mess as it pretty much instsntly combusted. Talk about utter surprise. Not wanting to waste a hit I inhaled. Couch, GAG.

My next concern is that i noticed a small hairline crack running down the wood. It starts at the top and goes about halfway down the body of the unit. I haven't seen this before and I think letting the wood heatsoak on 11 over night did this.

I'd rather not send it back as it was my fault for leaving it on full blast for such a long time. Anything I can do to help condition the wood and stop it from splitting more than it already has?

I've left my Afzelia burl nano on at 10 overnight. Not good, but it won't kill your vape.

Wood cracking is impossible to predict. However if the wood was going to crack, it would have cracked no matter if you left it on at 10 or not. (Typically turned wood will crack within the first few months of life. If it doesn't crack within that time, it never will)

You really can't do much to avoid the crack, just watch it grow. The crack will not affect performance, but it should be covered under your warranty. Once it gets bad enough, just go to the website and open a warranty case.

My first cherry custom nano had a crack and it ran to from the top to the bottom, every day it got worse. There is nothing you can do. It started at the top just a couple days after recieving it. Epicvape will take care of you. I did have a walnut nano to keep me company while the other was getting fixed. The wood grain pattern on my cherry replacement is beautiful. It's even better than the original.

Here's 2 Nanos in the sun.

Ooh, you do have nice grain there, @CarolKing

Well, I received my new (used) Nano today, and I am wildly impressed.

Andy's craftsmanship has come a hell of a long way. I mean, his work was always solid. I remember my original Nano, a walnut preorder way the fuck back so long ago only @flotntoke can remember it , looked great. But the work done on this Amboyna Burl block has been done by an artist who has improved vastly. You can see how many goddamn Nanos Andy has made in-between my original and the one I'm looking at now. The difference in the quality of the work is unmistakable. It leapt from "solid" to "holy fucking shit is that what Nanos can look like now?!"

Sure, the exoticness of the Amboyna Burl plays a part, but to the trained eye , it's obviously more than that.

The wood seems thicker-cut on this piece than the 1st Walnuts. I'm not sure if that's to appreciate such a fine exotic wood, or if that's the thickness Nano are cut now, or if I'm remembering incorrectly.

This piece also seems heavier than I remember a Nano being - perhaps because of the possible thicker cut? Or maybe it's because my HI is so thin and light and I'm only comparing it to that...

Anyway...

Congrats, Andy. I know the path that got you to this point wasn't always an easy one - probably never was an easy one. And I know I did my part to annoy the shit out of you along the way.

I think you deserve your praise, and your nearly 500-page thread here.

Couldn't be happier to be a Nano-er again.

Thanks to @Snappo , for helping us all take "the log game" up a notch.

And thanks to @NickDlow for allowing someone else to share in this little gem of a vape. I'm not sure what momentary brain damage you suffered to part with this one, but I'll try to do the same sometime in the future so more than two folks can appreciate this one.

But for now, this little fucker is all mine.

Please forgive the amateurishness of my photography. I fucking suck at taking pictures, and have no patience for it.

This will work, but have to be very careful not to get too close. And, sometimes hard to get it small enough and still get a full hit. Well worth the effort though!

When I play with it like this I find it easier to load first, then adjust screen up. Either hover the nano, or push down and pull real quick to be sure you don't hit the load. If you do hit the load, it should get pushed down almost far enough. Then give it a little nudge with your tamper and enjoy.

Don't really notice too much flavor increase from micro load. It is mighty tasty, but probably about the same as 2/3 hit load size if you stir every hit IMO.

Still like 2/3 hit best wet or dry, but smaller loads are fun.

Also, have been enjoying some larger loads dry. This J-hook I got from yeti glass combined with Joda carbed GonG really seems to be working well with the larger ones. Load probably close to double a 2/3 hit load, turn heat down a little (5.75 on mine), and sit back and puff it up like I'm f'n Gandalf or something! When flavor starts to drop I pull the nano, give it a good tamp and stir, and go for another round. Flavor not quite as good after first few hits as with smaller loads, and hitting it much lighter and shallower than I would through bubbler, but a nice way to kick back and watch a movie or a game or whatever. If I take it easy I get 10, sometimes 12-13 hits before reloading.

EDIT: I just loaded up the J-hook and took another look. Probably about 2.5 times the size of a 2/3 hit load. Not sure exactly how many hits, yet. Still working on that part, but it goes for a while.

GOD DAMN I've missed you on this thread, Brother!! LMAO all the way through your post. So glad you're giving the nano another whirl. And, very jealous... er uhh I mean happy for you that you got such a beautiful one!!! She is GORGEOUS!

Think even the stock ones are a little thicker now (tho I do still love rocking with the V1), but from pics I've seen looks like the exotics tend to be a bit thicker.

Hopefully with a little more refresher practice you'll be kind enough to give me an updated comparison. I'm at like 15 months on that damned list now, but think it is going longer than ever.
