Think I found it. If you were searching for it (or the other things you had asked about), you might want to tweak up your search skills. Found the post you were talkling about by entering "cigs" in the search box and clicking to indicate just this thread. The vid is
here , done by the infamous Ed himself of Ed's TNT. What he is using is a zapbubbler. Essentially the same type of thing your were asking about in that post (hydrotube). Don't think these are still available anywhere, new or used. IIRC they were made by the same company that did the aromazap/myrtlezap vaporizers (an earlier log vape, but they are now gone). There is probably still a pretty good thread for it on FC somewhere. Anyway.... a few similar things are still available, the PNWT probably the most popular and easiest to find. Still, IMO if water is involved you're better off inverting the nano on top of it, then setting it on top of the nano but YMMV.
Gravity bong with nano? I dunno.... I try to keep my nano away from that kind of water situation, but should work. Ought to be easy enough to do with some electrical tape, maybe some silicone, and a GonG adapter. I think I've aged out on gravity bongs, though. Just another thing that makes you shake your head and laugh after 30 is in your rear view mirror.
Some people love the glass screens. Think these are what Ace himself still uses. They are OK with full nugs, but I'm not a fan myself. I really love the adjustability with the basket screens. But, you can drop a small flat ss screen in on top of the glass screen that will help with small bits getting through. Also, on mine I can put a basket screen in (with open end towards glass screen) to lift the load closer to the heater while keeping bits from going through. Doesn't move around because it is sitting on the glass screen. Not sure if this is still the case with newer ones. My newest glass screened stuff is about 2 years old, and different vendors are probably producing them now. So, the depth may not be the same as mine.
FWIW if screen slippage is the issue, new screens or stretching your old ones should eliminate the problem. Take care of your screens, and they will definitely take care of you!! I've probably got about 7 or 8 in rotation, but have only had to throw one out because it was getting too crumpled to mess with in the 1 1/2+ years they've been out. Just grab some more if you don't want to mess with it. I mean.... what the fuck? They're only a buck! Think glass screened GonGs are up to about $10 more than adjust-a-bowls. That's 10 screens right there!
Not really sure with the moisture in the bathroom, but if you have your stash in there while you are waiting for the nano to warm up, the moisture will definitely affect the process. Takes a little more temp on the first few hits to get moister loads going. Also, would suspect you will have more water vapor in your hits. This may have been contributing to your issues with not getting good vapor that you had asked about before. DRY, ground material seems to vape best IME.
Glad the other info helped!
Think
@max was right on with some of the reason logs aren't more mainstream. But also, most people don't really want to get into vaping the way many on FC are. They'd rather just go to the store and pick something up (leading to many bad and expensive experiences from what I've seen and heard). Have only tried the Volcano from S&B, and admittedly my impressions of Crafty/Mighty/Plenty are tainted by that. In short, you want how much for that thing that is going to use how much more of my stash to get buzzed? Think they are definitely adding at least a few bucks to their retail prices based on their name and the fact that they are German - not unlike at least one major car manufacturer (BMW that is - IMO Mercedes really is that good!). Bud the vape critic has his moments, but also seems to only go with vapes that are mass produced and available at LHS's. Maybe he has a deal with a local shop or distributor?
What I'm getting at is that vapes are still pretty new to most and not quite mainstream. Certainly not as much as smoking. We're fortunate to be vaping in this time period. I figure they will probably either become much more common, or die off for most. If they become more popular, they will probably eventually go the way as most other things. That being there will be a few models that are very similar made by a few large companies. I'm just happy we are fortunate enough to be here and enjoying all of the many varieties and innovations that come out regularly, even if loosely based on earlier models. Many people don't know that there used to be many more car options in the US than the big 3. Many don't know there used to be more choices than MAC or Intel. I fear that in the not too distant future many won't know there used to be more choices than S&B or Arizer for vapes. Thank God for the FC community and all the great manufacturers that participate!
Anyway... back to your questions... think most - you included - would enjoy a log vape. Not always as simple to use as most S&B products, but not as expensive to buy, and not as expensive to own. If you don't like it, they never seem to last long on the classifieds here - often selling for about what they cost. In my estimation if you got one and used it for a month, the savings you'd have in material over your Plenty would be more than the loss you would take selling it used.
Pluses? Cheaper, more efficient (as in less material needed so cheaper to own), and doesn't really look like a high tech weed machine - just to name a few. It does look really cool sitting on your end table, especially with its little LED light glowing. Customer service usually more personal and always get you straightened out.
Minuses? While it will work fine right out of the box, takes a little practice and sometimes using personal preferences to really get the most out of it. It doesn't really look like a high tech weed machine that you can impress friends with. Customer service isn't instant or available through an 800 number. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get their attention and get things moving. Though once you do, everyone seems happy in the end.
Epicvape is the best place to buy. Especially with the discount and lifetime warranty!

I'm a tactile person, all the different textures and scents to play with are my ritual. Plus there's the added bonus of rolling that warm Enano over my sore muscles between draws...
