Just FYI, I have had my OG E-Nano for about 8 years (up and running almost 24/7
), and I’ve settled on temp-stepping up from a start of 4.7, by steps of 0.3 or 0.4, up to a top temp of about 6.7. I take more hits at lower temps, then steadily fewer at the upper ones. I get around 60-80 fifteen-second hits from about 0.03 grams (roughly 1/30th, in other words). I do nightly sessions and get incredible flavor at the lower temps, diminishing to “very good” and then “decent still” up at 6.7 (where I’m only taking a half dozen hits or so).To be fair, I usually do 2 stems at the same time, in rotation, so that’s really about 0.06 grams total, and I often run a sidecar on the Lotus or other vape at about 0.05 grams, but I usually stretch the sidecar over 2-3 nights.
With this approach, I get baked outta my mind all the time, and always at least very high (with no real tolerance issues, either).
So my experience is: pack lighter, start lower, go slower … and enjoy the tasty and effect-ive ride!
I have no idea why I get such good results, but I started keeping careful track because I was concerned that my approach and experience was so different from everyone else’s. Now I am completely confident in my results, and am so satisfied that I have stopped caring about those differences.

Just curious what the benefit of the Ti screen material rather than stainless is? just seemed the mass of this screen was so miniscule it could'nt effect anything is what i would have thought. But please tell me why it is a benefit (still kinda new)

its just personal preference, stainless 316L is a fine material. I changed from stainless to ti in my nic vapes a while back for biocompatibility reasons and so used ti as a starting point when I started upgrading the weed gear. But as I've learned recently there are some applications in the vape space where stainless may be a better material choice than titanium.

Just dropping in to say I received a dimpled stem for the Enano XL And it is proving that it’s the best Yet.
I am using 6.5 & 7 to finish.
A shoutout to Jodaglass and 3d studios for making it available.Cheers

Well, the E-Nano itself is on all the time normally, so “yes” in that sense. But I don’t let the stem sit on the device before using, I just pop it on and draw pretty much right away. I usually get big, flavorful hits from the get-go, even down at 4.7 on the dial (occasionally even as low as 4.4). Mind you, I don’t usually get clouds until somewhere in the 5.5-6 range … but I don’t gun for clouds like most people. I know there’s lots of lore and discussion on both sides of this issue, but I’ve always taken clouds to mean that I’m blowing away at least some of the “good stuff” (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids), so I take visible output more as a sign to slow down a bit … though I must admit there is some inherent appeal. But I try to focus on flavor as my positive feedback, not visible clouds.
The flavor changes character a bit over the sesh (with bigger changes if I “up” by 0.4 each step rather than 0.3, say), but it tends to stay very good or at least interesting until the very end. I often run an extra few hits at the end, beyond my original final target temp, because I can’t stand to shut it down when there’s still even a little good flavor up in the 6.7+ range.
Perhaps due to my compare-and-contrast stem-switching habits, I look for when a load is no longer as distinct in it’s flavor before I leave off. (So if I accidentally pick up the wrong stem and go “Whuuut … ??” at the flavor, expecting one and getting the other, then I am pretty clearly still getting distinctive flavor.) Typically the distinctiveness goes quite a long way, even if the flavor(s) are changing a bit as the load “cooks down”: from easily able to distinguish, say, two cuts of the same strain (i.e., from different growers), to two strains in the same family (e.g., berry or pine), etc., on down the line. Some flavors tend to hold their character steady even to the end (Blackberry Pie from Shango comes to mind), others change character in interesting ways along the way. To be fair, a few get pretty “blah” after a few stages (I have some Hazelnut Cream and Ya Hemi like this right now), but I still get good effects, and there are occasional yummy surprises hiding in even the (rare!) strains that are not joyful explosions of goodness at the start. (I usually buy in just single grams, and often down in the $4-6 per gram range—but I get lots of delicious stuff down there, generally as good as in the $10-12 range.)
Full disclosure: I also grind way too fine according to traditional standards, so maybe that has something to do with my results. (BCG, fine plate, upside down for quite a few “turns”, really “flicks of the wrist” … but very consistently, since I count those flicks, just as I count & track hits, temps, etc. A bit OCD, I suppose, but I developed these habits partly in trying to accept that I really was getting these phenomenal results, as a kind of “defense mechanism” against disbelief.)
Well, sorry for once again going on waaay too long in my response.
