Well if you throw the nano on a cold, freshly packed gong and rip it hard it tends to do that because the airflow is directed in one spot and there's little conduction helping to vape the outermost bud unlike the latter hits where the gong/stem is toasty. I spin my nano and lightly tilt the nano back and forth it while I'm hitting it, similar to how LSV users use a WPA although it isn't quite as elegant it gets the job done. I've been doing this for a couple months and haven't broken a gong yet but I'm not saying it won't happen to someone else the first time they try.So I tried a high temp vape (8.5 or so) and ended up scorching the center while not extracting properly on the sides. What did I do wrong? Too fast or slow of a draw?
I slide my screens in on the opposite side. That way my herb is only touching glass.
I read this whilst vaping with the nano and decided to see what happens when I set my temp to 8.5. Twas using a water tool and started inhaling smoke before I knew it. God dammit I've combusted twice since I got my Nano in May and both times have been in the past two weeks. I blame this one on you @Caligula it'll help me sleep better... actually it will, I can barely keep my eyes open now. Hey thanks man
Happy holidays everyone and be safe
Thanks @ataxian, you inspired me to try whole nug, and I gotta say I get even more flavor!!I load whole flower nuggets in both my 18 & 14mm WPA the same way? (U Stir? Really?)
I don't grind or stir with the NANO or VAPOLUTION.
My SOLO'S I grind however never stir!
The LSV has a larger bowl so grind and stir that one.
That's a great way to use the NANO!
I have a bunch of HASH + PURE GOLD + ALIEN KUSH to mix and load. (INSPIRED by @BLAZINGOG)
This 12 gram batch of CHRISTMAS SHATTER in a NANO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thats a veri interesting idea abut the silicone and the screens, check out that video I posted a page back or so, seems caligula had success wit hit.Yes, convection concentrate dabs are great fun. Gotta love that time of the year, fresh outdoor grown concentrates! And they have never been so much fun as with the Nano.
I use the screen bowls for more airflow, BLAZINgOG, and hold the screens in place by small silicon rings that I cut out of a silicon tube that fits inside the bowl.
Sweetgot my nano today!!!. All I can say is WOW!!
Nice find !!!
the high heat seems to work well with concentrates but I can use up to 9 but I have to load a small amount which in tern is further away from the heat source and I have never combusted ,but if you use high heat and load to fat of a bowl the material now is higher in the bowl and is now closer to the heat source which can rise the chances of combustion.All the posts about vaping with concentrates and cotton in the nano finally made me try it out. I've grown tired of wielding a torch and oil rig so I haven't been dabbing lately, just using a pen. I've never used this method in an herb vape without bud. It was like I started used 9-9.5 and got huge clouds and a multitude of tasty hits that you just don't get to experience when dabbing and it gives me another reason to use the Nano which I always seem to be looking for. Now I just need to get some cotton that I feel comfortable with using regularly, or better yet some hemp.

I never set the dial that high, over 8 and my abv is black which was consistent with my other Nano as well... could just be coincidence I don't know anything else about the temperature variation between units.

Scrape out enough of that to roll into a little ball and enjoy the 50 monster rips you'll get off it if you've never tried.I never considered putting the screen in the other side. I've usually got too much reclaim in the stem to want to try and get a screen in & out of there.

My stem was about that dark when I broke it. Made me very sad. I put my screen in before it's ever dirty. And that's where it stays until it gets cleaned back to new.
Just give a go as normal, But I do stick a nug instead of grind since the bowl will now be upside-down. Oh and dont burn your self the bowl gets hot. I use a silicone glove.@BLAZING OG That was actually @llamaman001 Who pointed me to the UD screens...also simply pushing the larger flat screen into the stem with the fat end of a chopstick negated the need to shape the screen ona nail. Lazy FTW.
Also any pointers on using the PNWT?
Here is my newly purchased Enano milking up my good old SG stemline! Can't actually see the nano in this vid, but that's what's driving it.
The Enano for me is the first vaporizer I've had that gives me an experience that rivals combustion. I've always found my past vapes to be finicky, not straightforward and time consuming and could never really get an experience that matched the elegant chillness of stepping outside, combusting and then being all set. I love my new toy and the lack of fiddling/having to fuck around and figure out a ritual to get optimal results is soooo nice. I just set it around 7-8 hook it up to one of my many water tools and in 1-2 hits and a couple of minutes I'm all set. No waiting for it to regain lost heat or worrying that I haven't got a full enough extraction. Looks like I finally found a vape that can keep up with me.
Load small and turn up temp!!!!Now because of the holidays I haven't gotten much play time with my new nano. I've tried using while nugs a few times but it never works well. I've had great success with ground herb... but im not sure how you guys are getting huge clouds with whole flower...
I start off slow and increase draw speed according to visual feedback of the vapor becoming thicker, If you hit it to hard then you will see the vapor thinning out , id say about medium draw speed.What kind of draw do you use? Would it be different for ground flowers?
