Woohoo I just got my 14mm all glass GonG ordered - and the 18mm regular GonG too. Hopefully it'll get here by next week, got some new meds on the way.

One thing to keep in mind with glass is that every time it receives an impact (like a drop or *clinging* with other glass) the glass structure is weakened one-by-one. Drop it a few times, or a few dozen times, and the smallest future impact could cause a break. So it definitely pays to treat it extra gentle, like a live baby hehe.Woke up this morning to find my GonG split in half. Completely clean break on the seam where the GonG and tube were fused. It's been dropped before but always survived. Weird thing is that the GonG was just sitting on the counter undisturbed, and it was in fine condition when I left it there last night. No idea how it broke. Sadness, since it was my only GonG. I suppose I could go the Silicone route, but I miss my glass.
Hopefully Andy has the 14mm in stock now. Gonna buy two of each.
Although it just sitting there undisturbed isn't any kind of impact...so that is extra-strange for sure

I mean, it's been dropped on wood at least once or twice. But yeah, it's been days (weeks?) since the last drop, and it was intact when I left it standing on the counter last night. This morning when I picked it up, the two halves have seperated. I'm sure it's my fault for having dropped it in the past.One thing to keep in mind with glass is that every time it receives an impact (like a drop or *clinging* with other glass) the glass structure is weakened one-by-one.

I should've ordered four (two of each), but I'll have to make due with two for now. With Andy's super affordable shipping, I can afford to make a purchase in the future.
Maybe I could repair the old stem while I wait for the new ones?
Some people have requested plain (Naked-Nano) No rings, no markings. If you have an E-Nano on order and would prefer it naked, please shoot me an email.

Hi Andy,
I hope this is a sign that those of us who have been waiting since the end of January will be receiving our E-nanos soon? Any updates on getting the heaters in? Still patiently waiting, but the patience level is beginning to wane, just sayin...
Nobody's patience is worn thinner than mine. I sourced and bought moulds from 2 different vendors. The first vendor had quality issues, the second vendor promised me the heaters over 2 months ago! The E-Nano bodies are just sitting around waiting for their hearts...

I liked. Not crazy about the answer, but am glad to know I can stop stalking the mailbox for a little bit.
Know it's not you, Andy. And, know you'd rather be getting those bodies done and out the door. But, would be great if you could keep up posted here on progress (or lack thereof). THANKS!!
Oh well it is nice to know I found myself also stalking the mailbox,
Thanks for the update.
I ma sure he will have them ASAP,
and I know it will be worth the wait.

Sorry to hear. Do you know what may have caused it?

It's been dropped before but who knows. This thing puts out a lot of heat. The crack won't effect performance IMO but im gunna keep an eye on it for sure.
On a lighter note I've made the perfect roasting tube for my enano in 18mm situations. Its just a 18mm GonG adapter from Dave at Underdog! Never liked it too much for my UD but it works amazing for the nano. I can pack just enough to cover tHe screen barley and I get one instant vapor hit. Never seen vapor production like this. Soooo fast.

There is ground glass inside of the stem for the screen to sit in and then the silicone is just for sealing to the nano. Im starting to prefer silicone again because of the free airflow. I'm loading like .02 bowls and finishing them in one hit. Cleanly. Im rockin my nano on 8 right now and hitting it as fast as the cloud. Amazing results.

I've dropped mine a bunch too but so far no cracks. A few nice little dents on top but they've smoothed out and aren't really noticeable anymore.
I noticed your AC cord is 'braced' a bit. That extra piece of rubber is a good idea - wish mine had that!
shredhead (or anyone), what are you using to treat the wood on your Nano?
We really need an abbreviation for the E-Nano. Can we all agree on the EVN?
shredhead
Specialist
Ya I really can't say if the crack has been there the whole time or not. I was just admiring it this morning and it caught my eye, seems to go with the grain..... And ya I would have thought every e-nano would have that bracing? It's on the EV2 as well.

I use under butter because you get a shit ton when you buy a UD

Can we agree to abbreviate E-Nano to EVN (Epic Vape Nano)?
How about just 'nano'? it eliminates the keystroke hyphen which is a pain in the -ss.
It won't affect performance but when you're ready to live without it for a few days, send it in and I'll replace it.

Wow thanks Andy I appreciate it. I'll be holding on to it for the reason that I'm not sure if it's been there the whole time or not. And ya it defiantly doesn't effect performance

I can't wait to get my GonG stems! It feels like it's been forever since I've used my E-Nano.

Come on! Just use some silicone!
Got my gong stem in super quick time, the airflow through my zapbubbler is tremendous! The hits are crisp and clean, havent had time to make a video yet but thats coming soon. The glass is so much better than the silicone. I am really happy with it, thank you Andy!

Still waiting for mine, but I missed my Nano so much that I had to bust out the all glass stem/wand for a quick session. God this vape is incredible. Even on direct draw (which I don't prefer) it just kicks so much ass, gets me so medicated.
