Okay guys, I FINALLY got my Nano! I typed this up for another member in a different post (looking between an LSV and the Nano) so mods, please forgive the x-post. I've edited it some to fit the context of this thread a bit more though.
Wow, I'm baked! Please forgive me if this isn't as lucid as can be.
Anyway, the first thing I noticed was HOW SMALL this thing is. Now my other flower vape is a Solo. I was expecting this to be roughly the same size or so but its actually SMALLER (by a decent bit). In fact I dug around the packaging material thinking he didn't put the unit in the box, lol!
Obviously, I eventually found it and immediately plugged her in. Went to set the dial to max for heatup and noticed the dial goes to 11. Mind you, it will actually only turn to the "10" mark, but Epic Vape put 11 on the dial in what I assume is an homage to this epic movie clip:
This wins all sorts of points in my book, but I digress...
Set the dial to "10" and let it warm up until the wood felt warm to the touch which took roughly 5 minutes (keep in mind I was also outside). Dialed it back down to 6.5 as suggested, let it cool for a minute and loaded up a stem of some DNA Genetics Tangie flower (for taste purposes, this is the best tasting/smelling bud I've had for a LOOOONG time):
Now I ended up going through 4 stems as to be able to try different techniques. My first stem was a fail because I tried to load it like a Solo stem. Way too much, and too fine a grind. Meh. Anyway, long story short my best results were from tearing a VERY SMALL nug up with my fingernails, dropping it in and hitting it 1 to 2 times @ setting 8. Even with a dry path this was more than tolerable for me (on par with 5 or 6 on a Solo) and resulted in great flavor. It also resulted in a cloud large enough that I could see it in the fading twilight out on my unlit balcony. Impressive.
The extraction process is very fast. With smaller loads I'm thinking you should be able to kill it in 2-3 hits easy, while getting it dark brown. Super efficient and quick sessions if you do it like this. Of course you can take your time and milk it like a Solo at lower power levels I assume?
Oh, and I should note that I bought this used.
Obviously I need to get technique down and Ive only used it once. So far I'm impressed though! I cant wait to try this through water via my PNWT @
BLAZING OG
Now please, any tips on how to properly use this are VERY welcome!
Oh and @
ACE OF VAPE , my GonG and extra stem came in the mail! Do you suggest using the supplied screens in the all glass stem as well (if I want finer grinds) or would larger diameter screen work better?
Oh and does the light just signify the unit has power or does it indicate anything else?
