I know that each unit may not be exact, but what temps are you guys using in general? I find that I never go outside of the 6-7 range. The only time I go above 7 is for a concentrate and I never go below 6. I find that the Nano has the best temperature range from ultra low temp to super high temp and I love it.
I've had my Nano for 8 months now and it is still performing like the first day and it has taken a licking. It's bombproof! I love my Nano, thank you for listening.

if u put a screen in the solo stem, the airflow will be amazing, + evenly vaped bud.. i noticed with the nano u have to stir because some sides stay green. i love the new solo + screen, works like pvhe stem

Stoned!
Not to derail but I bet it runs true with Nano stems also. I have noticed that if I dome my screens away from the glass screen as apposed to flat or cupped the screen stays cleaner for me. It holds a little less but I have not changed the screen in a few days and I was changing twice a week. I am using the Solo daily. I am looking forward to fixing that with my New Snappo Afzalie Burl E Nano! Have I mentioned that in the last day or two.

thoroughly vaped
Not sure what type of screens or solos others are using, but screen in mine doesn't seem to help airflow at all. If anything it seems to slow it down after a few loads as the screen gets a little dirty. Almost always use the screen so bits don't come through the glass one, making a mess of the stem and letting flakes hit my tongue, and probably go all the way down into my lungs. Not really a fan of that.
And sorry, but can't resist saying it any longer..... If you really think the solo is in the same league as the nano, you've either got one hell of a solo you lucked into - or you're not using your nano as well as you could be. I've used solos off and on for a couple years, and just recently bought one of my own. After playing with it for a few weeks, I think I've pretty much seen everything the solo can do. For simple to use portability, it's tough to beat. But next to a nano? It's not even really worth comparing! Not even sure if you could. If I'm in a heavy or quick session by myself the solo heat can't even keep up with my tired old lungs. If you can draw nano heat down like that, I salute you and your fire-breathing lungs! Going to avoid getting too much into the rest of the reasons I feel confident in this assessment, but have to at least mention two - flavor & effeciency.
Back to the nano.... (where we should probably be in this thread anyway!) I seldom have trouble with heat concentrating in the center (green on sides) - but I am a stirrer. Always have been with vapes and think it is necessary to get the most out of your meds with almost every vape. Sometimes there are other ways to "mix" besides stirring (air stir in EQ and to some extent Volcano, shaking MFLB), but it usually pays to mix the load and give it another hit or two before dumping. For the nano it depends on how I'm using it. If "2 hitting" I give a stir after first and second hit (after that it's done, if it makes it that far). If loading a little more & bumping up heat, I take a few hits, stir, repeat until spent.
Temps on the nano (and pretty much everything else) tend to be very subjective - even way beyond how you or I or someone else likes their vapor. There are SO MANY variables. Your stash and how covered with trichs it is; how dry it is; room temp; how close your load is to the heat; size of the load; variations in A/C power where you have it plugged in; variations in the dial itself; wet or dry; how hard you draw; and more!
For me, with my nano, my stems/bubblers, my stash, etc, I can have my heat anywhere from 5.5 to 7.5 depending on what I'm looking for and how I'm playing with the nano that day. Usually for everyday regular use I'm at about 6.25 - 6.5 and going through water. But my nano has the attached cord and is probably a good bit older than most (think it was 10th - 12th one produced), and think it runs a tad hotter (1/4 dial setting? maybe 1/2?) than newer ones. It is going to vary at least some for everyone. Analog dials such as this will seldom be the same from unit to unit and tweaks in production have probably added a bit more variation.
You should also consider the nano's ability to deliver different flavors and effects at different temps & screen levels. Most vapes do this, but the nano excels with it IMO. For instance, I always taste test a new stash at 5.5 with a dry stem and screen pretty close. Flavor is awesome down here, and effect is more heady and less couch lock. IME this type of buzz gives a better comparison of one strain compared to another, and the taste difference part speaks for itself. When you're vaping mostly terpines and a little THC the flavor comes right through and is different for different strains - often even a bit different for different buds from the same plant. Dry is the way to go here, as even a little bit of diffusion will knock down the flavor.
7.5 creates much heavier vapor and will dope you up to get ready to sleep or just be silly stoned. But, if you're throwing that kind of heat on things you're better off moving your screen further away from the heater. Haven't really tried it higher temp with very close screen but can see how this might cause more uneven roasting with hot spot in center and greener around sides. If you're up around these temps, you're probably going to want to use a bubbler. Flavor isn't as pronounced, so diffusion isn't taking much away and a little moisture will go a long way in keeping your throat more comfortable while allowing you to take bigger hits.
For as simple of a device as it is, the nano gives a lot of flexibility - much more than the solo where your option is to do all the same and just adjust the heating number. This is one of the reasons I love the nano more than any other vape I've tried. Whatever you're looking for out of it - or however you use it, you owe it to yourself to play with things a little to see what else it can do. Tweak it a little in both directions and find those subtle differences. Whether you want it to perform differently to cater to your mood or stash - like me and a few others around here; or whether you just want to find your own optimal set-up to go with all the time; a bit of tweaking can make this an incredible vape instead of just merely a good one.
There is much more info in this post I made a while back, but check it out for a quick tutorial on tweaking and getting your screen where you want it. PLEASE let me know if any of it isn't clear or if you have any questions. THANKS!

@flotntoke that is the information I am looking for to get me off and running with my new toy. Thanks for your help!

Has anyone else noticed using a piece with less drag = more evenly vaped bowls? Just got a piece with very little drag and have noticed my bowls come out pretty evenly vaped (better with a medium+ speed pull) and the top of the bowl takes a good deal longer to get singed.

Been away from my Enano for two weeks. So nice to come home to it.Honestly, unless I need portability I rarely use any of my other vapes these days. I get a bit of variety from strain changes and glass changes. I think Im going to get rid of a lot of vapes and just have two nanos for home. Im just waiting for one of Snappo's pieces to really speak to me 
Please excuse my ramblings, Im really medicated and using some new kond of tablet not very well. But for home the Enano is just perfection for me.

I remove after my hits as its a tiny amount I use compared to solo loads. And @flotntoke I agree. You just can't compare the 2. The nano is a beast. No portable can compete. I do like my solo but only if I have a big stash. Nothing gets as much bang for yer buck as a nano

Would it be okay to use virgin coconut oil instead of the butter such as that sold by Ed to treat my maple enano? i dont want to bother anyone with such a small international order. Sounds like a reasonable substitute to me? Any thoughts would be most appreciated
I'm not sure about coconut oil. Probably fine, it's just something to protect the wood really.
Eds butter is mineral oil (food grade) and beeswax. You could get those locally for sure, and if you wanted, mix them to achieve something similar to Eds wax?

Well I must have one heck of a Solo then, and I am using the Nano as well as I can be. I'm not saying one is better than another (I worship both!) but if the Solo isn't in the same league as the Nano, the Nano isn't in the same league as the Solo. You say you couldn't compare the two, and perhaps it's my perception, but it appears that is exactly what you are doing.
I just feel like you are tainting the image of the Solo slightly, and it's meaningless to discuss, because they are BOTH top shelf vapes. IMO the Solo can be VERY easily used as a desktop and i've done just that for almost a year before, and it satisfied my thirst for higher temp thick dense cloudy vapour just as much as my Nano does now. Both have pros and cons, and fortunately for us, both are very affordable.
I also want to say that I have just successfully boiled a mixture of tap water and essential grapefruit oil on Temp 8 in the Arizer Solo aromatherapy bowl! lol I was using cotton before but thought i'd try a bit of water. I wasn't getting any aromas on temp 7 so I cranked it to 8 and before you know I could hear a little bubbling! it was definitely boiling! Smelled awesome, but had to dial it a bit down obviously.
I love my Nano.

So sad. I think the enano finally died. My wife, who has MS and Epilepsy, dropped it again and the wires came loose. Then the transformer popped. This was after fixing the wires previously and going through multiple stems. I loved this thing, but am probably going to have to get something more robust, or at least something that is less top heavy and prone to falling over. I am assuming the ev-2 is built much the same? Don't want to derail the thread, but any suggestions?

Enano is too hot for my throat at higher temps. I concluded it is because I'm a beginner vapist and a little bitch because you all clearly love your nanos. I have adjusted to about 7 without irritation but any higher than that and I have burnt the roof of my mouth with the short hot vapors. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it cheaply without buying a bong. I was thinking of finding a straw to extend the vapor path. I think I I want to get a j hook where do you buy those can I get at a LHS and I would also need to buy the gong attachment ?
The Solo has a "Temp 8"?

This is not a "problem"... the general operating range is 5.5 - 7.5, and the upper end is usually used by those that prefer to use a water piece with it.
I'm normally hitting it, dry, at 5.5 - 6.25.
Why not use water filtration?
That's where the Nano REALLY shines - I'm loving the nano connected to my new recycler rig (doughboy glass
) - the vapor is extremely cool by the time it hits my lips, I could probably go to 8.5 and still not have any problems enjoying the temperature through water.There are a million options for the nano, and they all work perfectly
@sve - sorry to hear about your loss, was yours the original V1 with the hard-wired power cable? Or did it have the replaceable cord from the v2 generation?

Far too hot for dry use imo.
