E-Nano from Epickai

[howie105]

One of the things I like about the metal screen is the ability to move the load closer to the heater after a draw. I have a bamboo skewer that I reset the screen depth with and its easier for me to get to get consistent cooks that way. Its most notable with scissor chopped bud loosely packed into the stem, because those loads collapses a lot.

I've never seen signatures, how do you see them?

Turn your phone sideways (landscape) and signatures will magically appear.

I just used shatter for the first time, and used my enano. Threw it on a cotton ball, a small piece, and used my gong through an adapter into my 14mm piece. It worked great man, I'm at an 8. Floaty and feeling good, but still totally functional. I like it a lot!

... i run my maple nano around 6.25-6.5
with the nano i usually get 2 decent hits per load. I highly suggest keeping a clean screen. I swap mine out after after 6-10 loads, i find the extra air flow to be key.

Ditto. 6.3 on my maple does me perfect. I've had it around nine months and haven't conditioned it once. It still has some of its original veneer on it, so still no need. And it's been left on many a day, due mostly to me really not wanting to shut it down for the day. There's always the possibility that I'll want one more hit before crashing.

I just cleaned my screen last week. Pulled it out and tossed it in a jar with a wee bit of iso where it will sit until this one gunks up, then I'll make the swap. I give the screen a little scrape prior to loading each bowl and it lasts a while. Even a little gunked up it will hit ok for me. @Enchantre has mentioned ratcheting hers up to 10 empty and de-gunking it with a nice hit or two.

If you're using the 2 portables in your your sig, I think you'll be pleased at the change. Plus, flavor will be over the top!

I'm an AA fan too. It compliments my nano perfectly. The nano sits out of sight on an end table in my bedroom. It's my preferred delivery system, no question. But I couldn't do without my AA. When I can't get clear to the bedroom (kids and what not), I let the dogs out, through the garage, of course, where my Air's waiting for its next adventure.

I know nano folks love their flavor. Me too and the nano delivers no doubt. But the AA on blue has a flavor profile not to be overlooked.

Lots is talk about screen cleaning. Figured I'd share my method. I took a chopstick and shoved an electric tooth brush head on the tapered end. It fits great. I use the other end to push my screen to the top of the stem/gong so it's even with the edge of the glass. Then I brush the screen with the toothbrush pretty vigorously. The stiff bristles really keep the screens clean. I'll go over a month without needing to replace. I call my chopstick toothbrush "the device".

 

[CarolKing]

My screens get clean when I soak the stems a couple days in ISO. I use the plastic container that the stems come in. The plastic does get brittle after a while. Any glass jar would work. I just rinse with really hot water afterwards. I reuse the ISO and keep it a long time. You can give it a good shake, but don't lose your grip. After its a little dry it's good to go.

The Enano really has wonderful flavor with a newly cleaned stem. Vapor flavor suffers if your stem is dirty.

I have some Snoops Dream in my Enano right now. The flavor is amazing.

yea i also tried my cc if it's working properly and it did.

but idk if it's gonna work with epicvape.. did you use NMI?

i can't use paypal atm.

edit: yea i tried it again and i'm still getting a decline.

For clouds:
Slightly higher heat setting
Grind your nugget
Make sure basket floor is set to notch or higher (hotter) in stem
Give it a wa wa (milkshake) suck giving heater micro timeouts to maintain temp.
Make sure unit is on 1/2 hour before session.

All good tips except maybe the wa wa/feathering on the heater. It does work OK, but I've never been able to draw down heat on my nano, nor seen anyone else do it unless going at very low temps. However, airflow speed makes a big difference. The faster you draw the less time the air is on the load. If you go a little slower and keep it a steady draw - which usually allows you to pull a little longer - I think you'll see a noticeable difference in cloud density. Less air/hit almost always leads to more vapor, or a higher vapor to air ratio. The trick for me has always been finding the optimal heat setting/screen height for whatever strain/moisture content. This should only require very small tweaks to fine tune from your favorite set-up on whichever particular bubbler or stem or j-hook.

If you're trying to get the biggest clouds, a few loads through a dry bubbler may help you get there. It makes it easier to watch vapor density while you draw. A bubb with water does too, but removing the water seems to make it a little more "real time" and easier to adjust. After a few loads, you should have a good technique and be able to do the same through water, or with a dry stem. And, it's a lot easier than trying to figure out exactly what others are suggesting here or trying to adjust from what they like to what you like.

Might be a block from your particular credit card company to Epic. Especially if others are ordering without trouble. A call to the 800 number on your card might be your best bet. I think billing shows up as Artuva, so just tell them you want to charge with epic.com and/or Artuva.

Yeah, the AA is OK and much better flavor than the solo IMO, but still not even close to nano. But, I hear ya.... sometimes portable is what you need to do. Hopefully my Zion will be here soon and I'll be able to get closer to nano on the go!

 

[EverythingsHazy]

So I got mine in and love it! I'm getting great performance out of it, but I feel like it's not as good as I've seen it be on videos and stuff... it's probably just my technique. Any tips for getting it down and really producing those huge clouds, or even just getting more small hits? I load it with a fairly small amount, and I get 1-2 okay hits, but nothing like I've seen. Also, I'm considering getting some shatter for the first time, and sandwiching it in some herb, and trying that. Will doing that a few times (I'm only getting .25g if I do at all), boost my tolerance to flowers an obscene amount? I haven't tried any concentrates before.

Cloud production is very dependent on the bud are vaporizing. Some bud won't give more than a couple wispy hits before producing no more visible vapor, regardless of what vaporizer you use, and other bud will milk a big bubbler so you cant see through it, 3-4+ times.

Also, since this is not smoke we are dealing with, lighting plays a HUGE part in how dense your vapor looks. It can make the difference between seeing no vapor and seeing your bubbler as fully milked. Try holding your phone's flashlight up to the side of your bubbler while you take a hit, and see if the vapor is more visible.

This has been my experience also.

I never knew the clouds I was producing because I always vape at night and blow my hits out the window into the darkness. The first time I used it during the day I was surprised by the number of hits that would produce a nice cloud.

I also believe that letting the packed bowl sit on the nano for 30 sec or more before vaping helps the herb soak up the heat and produce a thick cloud on the first hit.

Hey Nano people

After a terrible wait for almost 2 months I am finally holding my new E-Nano in my hands now.
Best wishes to the german customs btw

Unfortunately my unit seems to be way way colder than yours ... ?!

I heated it up on maximum level for about an hour before I turned it back to about 7 and took the first hit through my bubbler. I think i am informed pretty well about screen-distances, recommended temperature, etc, so I am wondering why my Nano produces such a little vapor?
Even on 10 it gave me wispy clouds ?!
It did medicate, but on a very low temperature.

The wood is also just a little warm, far away from warming my hands when holding.

I am wondering if my step down converter is the issue here?
I have a 45W/50W step down converter and I am going to purchase a 100W tomorrow, because I remember having read that a stronger converter can increase the performance but I have been pretty sure that the 50W version is sufficient ?

@ all European Nano users

Can someone please chime in and help me out here???
Thanks

Euro user here ! I have a 100W stepdown convertor and it works great but I can really feel the difference on temps just depending on outlet I am plugged in or just taking it to friends house

I have tried using it in a 30W one but it was so loud we did not dare to try it out and just ended up driving back home and fetching the 100W one

It's not that hard to make pretty much any vape look like a 'big cloud producer' on a video. Use the right load size, the right bud, a high temp, and especially the right lighting, and even a really small bowl vape can look impressive. As always, the key is to remember that you don't have to produce big clouds and hits big enough to choke on, in order to get the job done. I've found, over the years, that log vapes can be quite effective and satisfying without hitting you like a sledgehammer with the first hit or two. And using the gong adapter with water filtration can help make the e-nano into that big hitter you sometimes long for, without having to add another vape.

 

[CarolKing]

I guess I'm lucky because the Enano performs with enough visible vapor to fit my needs. In fact quite a bit of vapor. I get very good quality cannabis for the time being, anyway.

The bottom line, does your vaporizer along with your cannabis get you medicated? That really is what counts. I'm a bit of a sipper sometimes. In the afternoon I like to take my time with my sessions. I like to savor the flavor of my cannabis's vapor flavor. At other times I like to take long, slow draws to get the job done. This unit fits my needs to a T.

The nano you can navigate your medicated state. I don't want to get smacked in the face until I'm ready for bed. The Enano can do that too. Who needs dangerous pharmaceuticals to get to sleep.

We've talked about the heater screen. Sometimes a bit of cannabis will stick to the screen you can just flick it off, sometimes I just turn my unit up side down. That helps with any debris that has fallen inside the body of the nano that surrounds the heater. I do this out of habit periodically.

Edit
If your temp is too low you won't get visible vapor. Depending on your cannabis you could get medicated. The higher the temp I go the more visible vapor I see.

@CarolKing

I am with you on the fact, that it's much more important to actually feel the vapor, rather than just seeing it.

But since I know that the Nano is in a position to deliver both - a quick, high temperature extraction, as well as lower temperature performance, I definitely want my unit to be able to perform both ways.

I get little to no vapor - from my experience I would say the unit reaches about 150-160 degrees Celsius on heat level 10. And thats way too low.
But I have the feeling, that , as I said, my converter is the issue here - I will report back when I have a 100W version.

Thank you so much @ all

Have a nice sunday

 

[hd_rider]

For you vaporists overseas, I wonder if the differences in heat as compared to your U.S. counterparts is due to the electrical current you have.

I remember when I was stationed overseas in England, we made use of transformers all over the house. Even so, we still had issues with some electronics that preferred the 60 cycle AC we have in the U.S. versus the 50 cycle AC we had when we were in England. As an example, we could not use American motorized clocks of any kind as they would run slower and not keep time (quartz-controlled clocks worked OK).

Just a thought.

From what others have said on the thread for some time, I think you're on the right track with the converter. I have an inverter to get A/C from the car that I use when the weather is warmer. Think it is rated at 300W, and even it will require a step up a notch or 2 from regular settings at home on straight A/C.

Not suggesting you need to go to 300W (think the issue with mine is more related to D/C to A/C conversion, and not too bad), but 50W may not be enough. Seem to remember somewhere back there someone said 60W was minimum for good performance and 100W was suggested. Hope it works for you and you get to experience your nano in all her beautiful vaping power!

Wood is nice for some.
I have a taste disorder and have to have inert material against my iips.

I can't put objects that effect flavor in my mouth.

The NANO taste so good why would you ruin it?

Oh you all got me thinking. crap that can be a bad thing. My wife throws mud.
A ceramic stem for the nano.......porcelain, or earthy chuncky?
