E-Nano from Epickai

If you have some lighter shades of brown mixed in there's medicine left for coconut oil or butter. If it's mostly a really dark brown and black there's nothing left. Try it and see what you get. Abv can be really strong in edibles. Just try some Abv that you have in a milkshake. Use whole milk and whole fat ice cream and throw in some peanut butter and chocolate chips. You will barely taste the Abv. Sorry for the derail

I have my nano out and having a bowl of Critical Kush - a nice daytime strain. Rocking my temp at 6.5.
I have so much abv saved up.

@CarolKing I have 2 pounds of ABV.
I was going to make a lotion (cannabis style) @Enchantre has a good formula.

I hate portables so please forgive me.
However a INVERTER in the car for a road trip with a NANO.
I seen they no longer carry them on the EPIC website?

I will get one on amazon.

If I'm more than 1 1/2 hours anxiety strikes me?
A NANO GonG or 2 is better than drugs!

CANNABIS is natural and pure.

I read faster?

The NANO is the best vaporizer for the money!

The nano (and any log vape for that matter) is in essence, just the heater. The stems, gongs, or bubblers that you use constitute most of the air path. The nano has a ceramic and inert heater within.( see Carol's post above)

Seldomly, the wood of the nano has been known to crack, usually within the first month if it happens. Mine has never cracked and that is the case for most. If it does crack, the nano is warrantied for 3 years and lifetime for the heater portion.

So for the nano or HI or UD, it comes down to the stem or gong material. Epicvape sells glass and UD has glass and nylon stems and gongs.

To answer a question you asked much earlier, yes you can get a wong. A great craftsman named Ed makes wooden stems and gongs for the nano and many other vapes (including your flowermate). His website often shows wooden stems but if you email him I'm sure he'll still make you a wooden wong for the nano and maybe the UD. His site is edstnt.com and he is an often used and trusted vendor for many of us.

As ataxian will also tell you, the only company that we know that makes an all metal gong is the Lotus company for it's vape. I have one and it is a great vape too, but you need a torch to run one.

Got some new airtight containers in stock and on sale now. 1.25" x3.00" They are Made in USA
Should have some new wood stand designs in by late next week. One of the stands will hold two of these.

Fully loaded. pun

This I copied off of epicvape's website. Read through it. Here is just part of it. If you want to read the whole thing go to the epicvape website.@thisperson

I wanted all the benefits of a log vape (great flavor, good looks, simple to use, and economical) but I wanted it to heat up in less than a couple minutes and employ a variable temperature controller.

Off to the research lab! Having a background in woodworking (I used to make guitars) and penchant for design I began to work on a ‘hybrid vape’ I wanted the power and temperature adjustment of a traditional box type vape, with the beauty, economy and simplicity of a log style vape. After about 100 prototypes and 6 months of testing, the E-Nano was born. I found a 100 percent ceramic heating element used in the food industry and housed it in medical grade stainless steel. I built the body of it using a solid piece of hardwood so there is no glue or laminates and sealed and finished the wood in natural shellac so there is nothing toxic to breathe or smell, after all if you are vaporizing for health you want the air path to be clean and pure. I sold about 25 to ‘beta testers’. It was easy to use, heated up in two minutes, had fully adjustable temperature control, could vaporizer flowers and concentrates You could leave it on your desk and use it as an aromatherapy device. The response from the beta testers was amazing. They started singing the praises of the E-Nano on the ‘Fuck Combustion’ website and I was in the vaporizer business. One year later there are over 450 PAGES and over 11,000 comments/reviews/tips/testimonials now on the Fuckcombustion.com website about the E-Nano.

The E-nano is still and always will be handcrafted in the USA.

Here is more from the website

From it’s inception the E-Nano was designed for the purest air path and true flavor. Ambient air enters the top of the vaporizer and through the holes in the food grade stainless steel heater sheath. The air then travels past the 100% ceramic lifetime guaranteed heating element where it is heated from zero to 550 degrees depending on where the analog rotary dial is set on the cord. The heated air passes through your favorite herb volatilizing and releasing the active agents in your herb. Unlike most vaporizers the air you breath never comes in contact with or passes through any electrical circuitry.

Your herb never touches the heating element directly so all vaporization is done through convection, never conduction. The end result? You only taste what you put in, the E-Nano is flavor neutral which is why the E-Nano is continually rated one of the best vaporizers on the market for flavor by experienced vapor enthusiasts.

Simple to use
The E-Nano is as simple as 1-2-3.
1Start it up – Plug it in and turn it on.

2Load it up – Load herb into the glass stem.

3Inhale it up – Put the stem on the heater and inhale.

All of these reasons is why the Enano is my fav vaporizer.

Way cool! Thanks for pasting here @CarolKing ! Haven't read much on the site for quite some time and probably wouldn't have bothered clicking a link if you posted it.

I've been rocking my Nano at a 6.5-7 and my ABV is pretty dark, almost black, with lighter specs throughout. It's not quite dirt black, but it's a lighter kind of soil looking color. Is this worth trying to cook with? Was thinking trying to the coconut oil ABV slow cooker thing I'm seeing around. Anyone have experience trying this with nano abv?

Click to expand...

As long as your ABV isn't scorched, you'll get something out of it. Just not as much effect, and it will be much "dopier". The more actives you vape off the top end (lower temps), the less that are left in your abv. So be careful until you try a small dose, and I would put some green shake or low grade stuff in there to kind of smooth it out. Sometimes if your whole mix of ABV is dark brown it will give a roasted kind of flavor, but not always in a good way. Shouldn't be a problem if you do coconut oil and strain it. If you do butter instead, there is a tec that will have all of the impurities fall out without much trouble - including almost all of the ABV. But, in my one try with coconut oil it didn't work out too well. Let me know if you want more info on it.

Not really, but sort of I guess. It is what is commonly referred to on FC as an "all glass airpath". That being that it is all glass from the heater to you. The ceramic heater comes up pretty close to the top of the stainless steel center cylinder and is all glass from there except your screen if you are using an adjust-a-bowl. Only production true all glass airpath I know of is the EVO, and even that goes through a metal screen that holds your load - though air travels through a glass tube from bottom of unit to the top with a super hot spot of glass in the middle. The old homemade light bulb vape is the only thing I know of that is truly an all glass airpath, and that's only if you're using a glass stem!

I have seen people say before that the nano is an all glass vapor path when using the fixed glass screen stem.

I believe the thought process is that you still have steel and ceramic in the airpath, but once vapor is formed it only contacts glass.

I bought both kinds of stem and can't taste a difference. Even at 8 on my temp dial I just can't taste the stainless steel screen. I've experimented without bud at higher temps and I can say around 9 on my dial it starts to taste metallic.

I wouldn't worry about airpath too much as long as it is free of glue, electronics, or other potentially harmful substances. The nano's steel and ceramic are proven, safe, inert materials, and its airpath is perfectly fine and tasty I might add.

Happy 3 day weekend for some. Hitting the nano with some GrapeApe. Had a day of going to Costco then planting some flowers. Just settling down for a little medication break.

Hey I forgto to ask if the enano + bubbler (mobius matriz, D022, etc...) will provide much bigger hits (effect wise) than the nano with dry stem? will it also help to cool down the vape?

I find with the right technique you can get huge hits with the dry stem, but they will indeed be a little bigger with a bubbler. Using water will also cool the vapor, but it will remove some flavor in the process.

I prefer to vape dry 90% of the time but many others here use their nano through water 90% of the time. It is capable of big hits either way.

Sometimes I even use my E-Nano with a dry bubbler, it still cools the vapor without affecting flavor, and it gives nice visual feedback.

This is my first post on this thread, so please forgive me if I am asking questions that have already been answered here recently.

I have the Pax 2 and the Firefly 2 already, but today I am receiving the
e-Nano! I have read through some of the thread here but I must admit that there is alot of information to digest.

I was wondering if I could get a quick education on this vape. This is what I am wondering about primarily:

1) should the herb be ground,hand torn, or just stick a small bud in the stem? I saw the bud in the stem on a video, but I am assuming that the herb has to be broken down since it comes with a tool to stir it.

2) I saw that the stem has a small glass "screen" already in the glass stem. Do I use a stainless steel screen also, or just the glass one already in the stem.I read that the screen has to be placed at a certain height in the stem to get this thing to work properly. Can anyone explain this?

I plan on using this with a "dry stem" at first. I have seen bubblers but I do not have any experience with them. I understand that if I do want to use a bubbler, I have to buy a shorter stem from epic vapes, right? Can you point me in the right direction of a good beginners bubbler for this unit?

I purchased this from a private party here on this forum site, so I doubt I will receive instructions. I have seen several youtube videos, but sometimes they are not informative enough.

Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated!

My only experience is with the two portable vapes I mentioned above.I decided on the e-nano based on a suggestion on the Firefly 2 thread here.

Thank you!

@DarkSm0ke welcome to FC and to the ENano.
You can grind your cannabis but small little nuggets work too. Try both ways and see what you like best. Also start your temperature at 5.5 and work your way up to a higher temp.

Most folks are somewhere around temp 6 depending on your unit and your cannabis. Drier cannabis will need a lower temp. I had some the other day that was pretty dry. I had to hit it at 5.75. A lot depends on your bud. All our tolerances are different. Some folks need a lower heat because of lung issues.

The Nano works well as a 1 or 2 draw big hitter or you can use more cannabis and use it as a session vape. I use my nano most of the time as a session vaporizer.

If you decide that you want to use a water tool you will need a 14mm or a 18mm GonG. The GonG attaches the unit to the bubbler. You can buy GonGs through Epicvape. Check out the bubblers on dhgate's online store. I find that most (not all) bubblers require an 18 mm size. I have the D022 bubbler it requires the 18mm size GonG.

The adjustable mouthpieces have a screen in them. The all glass mouthpiece has a built in glass screen. You could use a metal screen if you wanted to. I find the glass fitted mouthpieces break easier than the standard adjustable metal screen mouthpieces. I've gone through 2 fitted glass mouthpieces and when they drop they break right at the permanent fitted glass screen. The adjustable mouthpieces sometimes will withstand a fall.

You will need to practice with the nano and see what temp and amounts of cannabis works for you. If you use too much herb in your stem you will notice a restricted draw. A loose load works best so don't pack. Slow, steady draws will get you there.

Try reading over 20 or so pages to get you up to speed.

the enano was also my first non portable vape, and I think you will find that it is very versatile and quite easy to get good results.

with many portables, the performance might range from poor to very good (depending on user technique, battery life, herb, etc), while the nano will yield good to amazing results.

I've used the nano with super fine grind, nuggets, dry, through water, at all reasonable temps on the dial, and it never disappoints. experiment and find what works best for you.

as for glass, I like the D020 from Dhgate. others like the D020-d and D022. as Carol mentioned, you will need a 14 or 18 gong from epicvape that matches the female diameter of the glass you purchase.

Thank you so much @CarolKing for taking the time to reply to my questions. I heard that you set the e-nano to 10 to warm it up for about 5 minutes and then dial it down for your session. So I will take your recommendation and start at 5.5

I looked at the GonGs at epic and it showed the all glass and the adjustable screen type. I am guessing the adjustable would work fine, and they are cheaper too.

As far as the stems breaking, luckily mine is coming with 4 stems, so now I know why
The bubbler that you own, will the weight of the e-nano cause it to tip over, or do you always have to hold it when the e-nano is on the GonG?

I will hit is slow and have fun learning the ins and outs of this beast!

I am going to read back to, and catch up on this thread.

Thanks again for all of your help!

@Vapington thank you for your help also! I can't wait to get going on this. Going to pick up some medical cannabis on the way home just to break this puppy in.

Welcome to the site and congrats on your nano. You are gonna love it!

Every nano is different in looks and function. Some run hotter than others. My prime spot is around 6.5 on the dial. I prefer the 18mm gong on my bubbler.

You can experiment with the depth of the adjustable screen, thus the size of the bowl (if you bought the adjustable one), the amount of herb, the temp setting, the level of grind, the rate at which you draw (inhale), etc.

Sounds like you're on your way to some good fun!

Just wanted to point out something that can be baffling at first. If you do as you mention and turn it up to 10 for 5 minutes, then down to 5.5 - 6.5, it will heat up and work. But, to experience the real nano magic it all has to get to operating temp. This usually starts to settle in around 20-30 minutes after you turn it on. I don't pretend to fully understand why, but figure it has something to do with the wood and inside metal cup getting up to operating temp - then all the heat from the heater tube goes right to the load instead of warming everything else up at the same time.

Many of us leave our nanos on all the time to avoid this wait. If you turn it down to 4.5-5 and leave it like that, it will come up to 6.5 fine in just a couple minutes. There are of course safety concerns - like I wouldn't leave it like this around an unattended pet, but as long as your nano is upright there shouldn't be any problems. Use your judgement for your situation and what you're comfortable with, but is nice to have nano ready to go (or close to it) whenever you're ready to vape! Also, should mention that the base of the nano won't be hot - even if left on. I just checked mine. It has been on 6.25 since last night (actually much longer ) and the bottom is room temp. Wood gets warmer towards the top, and the business end is pretty hot. I won't be putting my finger on it to tell you just how hot!

You should hopefully receive an E-Pick with your nano. It's a small metal tool that has many uses. The longer, flat side has a notch in it. If you put that side inside the stem, with the notch resting on the top rim of the stem, and the flat side touches the screen, that is the default screen depth.

The rounded side can be used the same way to set the height of your material. Place it inside the stem and keep your herb no higher than that, and it is the default distance from the heater. It's confusing to talk about, there's a very helpful picture out there that I'll try and dig up.

I personally have my screen a millimeter or two below the default distance, and sometimes pack loads right up to the heater. Hell, sometimes I pack it further than that and just don't insert the stem all the way so I can still maintain the proper distance from the heater. You can get some huge hits this way, it's fun to experiment!

One big suggestion I have is getting some bamboo skewers, about 8 inches long works best. You can find them very cheap in the grocery store or even at the dollar store. These work great for fiddling with the screens among other things.

Just got the e-nano from one of the FC people here second hand. Only tried it last night but I love it already. One of the stems was cracked during shipping so I will order a replacement soon, with a GonG. Just to clarify, If I order the stem and the GonG in the near future, will it come with the new super cool silicone heat guard included, or will I have to buy them separately? Sorry if that is a stupid question, I just want to make sure I get them, even if I have to buy separately.

@ACE OF VAPE said above that all the GonGs and stems would come with the new silicone heat guards.

@DarkSm0ke I'm glad that you like your new nano, it's a flavor maker. I wish you many years of happy use. I like the glass air path. The heater is a beast. A versatile unit that can be used many ways.

Thanks for all of the info, I like the fact that they are all distinct in looks and function. Gives them character, and the fact that they are all USA made is the cherry on the sundae for me.

Thanks @Vapor_Eyes , that is VERY helpful, and yes, I do have an E-Pic! Bamboo skewer will go on my must buy list. Also I am going to get some lab cotton swabs. We used to use those at my old job. Only one end is cotton, but it is attached to a fairly long stick, so I will be able to really clean the glass stems.

@DarkSm0ke you can vaporizer the oil that you scape off the stems. If you use a long cotton type swab then take the cotton off and vaporize it in the nano. Nothing goes to waste.

Then you can reuse your ABV by making butter or oil. It's all good when you vaporize.

It's all good in nanoland
