You guys are killing me with all this nano>solo talk ;) I love my solo and all that, and have been using it pretty much exclusively as a home vape though water for the last 12 months... but I truly can't wait to get my hands on my new toy now...

Think you will love it! Two quick pieces of advice.... 1. Use the solo as much as you can now. The nano will be that much sweeter! 2. Take a little time to cruise this thread for tips (I've posted a few) and be sure to check out @Caligula 's vids. nano will work for you right out of the box with no special knowledge, but you can easily benefit from stuff that others have taken a while to figure out. You don't have to be a master, just have some idea of what you're doing with it and it will definitely leave you grinning on not much meds.

cordless autonomy and simplicity of use ;). i love the fact that the nano finishes loads in 1 or 2 hits, but i also dislike that fact at times when im looking for longer sessions. ive read on the ascent thread those guys are getting 30-45 minute sessions per bowl.. thats crazy

I've been playing with larger loads a bit lately. Still love the "2 hit" best, but settled in with the Breaking Bad Binge last night and didn't feel like fiddling as much. Many ways to do this, but my preferred right now is to push the screen down, load about 3/4x 2 hit load, put heat at 6. Load at least twice as far from heater as 2 hit. Hit, hit, stir. Repeat. When seems like vapor is getting lighter, knock heat up to 6.75. Hit, hit, stir a few more times until spent. All this was through water (D020-W). Wasn't really counting, but got about 8 -12 decent hits each out of two separate loads. Last one took me at least 45 mins to finish, but was going easy on it and just maintaining my level.

I've sunk to an all time low..... 4 to be precise dry with about .4 cm between load and heater and a 30 second heatsoak. Hmmmmm tasty as feck!!!!

Very nice!!! Do you ever kick the heat up once you're not getting any more at that level? I usually do when going low temp (but still about 5.5). Or, dump in a dish as I go and then re-load 3-4 of them in a bigger load and turn up the heat. Usually go right to 7 for nighty-night time. Taste is ehhh, but sinks me right into the sofa! :smug:

I am currently debating buying an E-Nano. Money is somewhat tight right now, but I feel like I have had one foot in the vaporizing world for awhile now, and i should just jump in.

I have a mflb which I use occasionally, but last time I got back into using it with the PA it tasted like I was taking hits of wood. Sometimes It just feels like more of a hassle and a mess of wires (pa)...

I am curious on what to buy with it. When using the FCLOVE code do you get a glass filter stem? I was thinking I should get 1 glass filter stem, and 1 adjust a bowl stem. and some screens. Are screens 5 bucks a piece or is that pack of 5?

As i said I kind of want to just jump into this... that being said I am also looking at water pipes . specifically these ones.

I think this one is my first choice.

I feel like this one would be harder to use as it is on top of the Nano.
http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/pinnacle-pro-glass-smoking-water-pipe-vaporblunt/184494946.html

I have never ordered a water pipe online and was wondering if anyone has happened to buy from this site. Is it going to be a problem legal wise? I know head shops around here are strange about selling "bongs"....

any other input for a first buy?

also on the epicvape website.. when creating an account there is a section that says "business type" with the options of "FC Forum" and Default... what do i do here, lol

You also should order a 14mm or 18/19mm Gong (adjust-a-bowl) to go with your Nano... this will make it work with a water piece!

It will come with a glass (dry) stem. It's never a bad idea to order a few back-ups. If money is tight, just get the Gong size you need, and leave the rest for later.

Can't answer about the "business type" question, however, @snamuh

Thoughts and prayers to family and friends of Robin Williams who was found dead this morning in his CA home. One of the funniest ever, and my personal choice as patron saint of the nano. R.I.P., Brother. You gave me more laughs and provoked more thoughts than I could ever count.

So I just combusted for the first time with my nano. I have had it for a few months now and I am so used to it producing perfect vapor that I was confused about what was going on.

It has been on all day long and was at about 8. I was towards the end of my gong so the plant matter was already very dry. I was getting good vapor and then all of a sudden it turned into a thick milk. I was like wtf until I saw the cherry glowing in the gong. Then I finally realized what was going on.

It was so gross in my lungs and the sticky resin taste it left on my lips makes me want to throw up. I literally ran to the bathroom to wash out my piece so it would not taste like combustion.

But this is not really a complaint. More so it is a testament of what a great vape the nano is considering I was able to go months before my first combustion. And I am sure it will be quite a while before that happens again.

Such a great product. Money well spent

Welcome!

You can go with the first choice, it's a nice one, and the vendor is very trusted (I've had 4 orders so far from sunshinestore, every one was delivered within 7 days, and his price is very fair, quality is always exceptional for the price)

I have that second option, and while I like the concept, I rarely use the piece! While some people do use the Nano upright, I personally don't want ABV dust falling onto the heating element. Many of us prefer to use the Nano inverted on a bubbler like the D020-D

In fact, I highly suggest you jump that that D020-D piece while it's still in stock - something tells me it won't last more than a few weeks.... Maybe order two pieces from sunshinestore so you can take advantage of the $10 off $50 coupon!

The nano is a simple elegant device - it has very few components to fail. Especially the newer units. For the price, the Nano is an extremely powerful vaporizer
 
Heh, yes the Ascent is a slow sipper kinda vape - my wife hated how long I'd sit there and sip away on the Ascent.. I'd actually pack a full load and toke away over the course of a whole episode of breaking bad (became quite a ritual ha ha ha)

Alas, it was too slow to medicate - so it rarely gets used these days. Now I much prefer the Nano, and keep my Ascent for road trips!
I found the same thing while using a Pax on vacation recently. from grinding, packing, doing the load and cleaning a little it takes a ridicilously long time. For home use the enano is Nirvana. i have 2 solos that have not been touched for months now. i love the solo but apart from portability it cant stand up to the nano imo.

Sorry for double post.

Edit - DOH!!! My refresh doesn't seem to be working too well! Looks like @Ratchett already said much of the same, but I'm not deleting my gibberish now that it's out here.:p

Think you're on the right track. Also own an MFLB (for years now). It has it's place, but nano is a whole different thing!

A stem comes with every nano. FCLOVE just gives the discount. The glass screens are OK, but I seldom use them (stem or GonG). IMO the adjust-a-bowl is the way to go - both with stem & GonG. Not sure which stem comes with it (think adjust-a-bowl), but I would include a note requesting one just in case. As you mention, definitely pick up an adjust-a-bowl GonG (19mm to go with D020-D bubbler). And, great idea to pick up 5 screens for $5 while you're there.

Stick with that D020-D instead of the pinnacle knock off. A few people like that, but really a pain in the ass to use with nano IMO. I have one that hasn't seen the light of day since about 2 weeks after buying it. The D020-D looks like it was just revised and should be a great bubbler. I have a few of it's cousins I like very much. Shouldn't have any worries on legal issues with shipping. Have bought a few bubblers from the same seller on that site. Think one was labeled "glass vase" and the others "glass lamp". It will probably take a couple weeks to get to you if you're in US (tho some saying they're a bit faster now).

Also not sure about that "Business Type". Think that's new. I'd hit "FC Forum". Sure won't hurt!

Congrats on finding the best bang for the buck vape out there (if not best hands down!). Poke around here in the thread while you're waiting for it for more info and tips than you can shake a stick at!

Did you happen to watch THIS episode?


Badger cracks me up.

And just to make this post relevant, I'll add that you can save some dollar bills... through the purchase of a Nano.

Seamless, huh?


:ko:

YEP!! Badger cracks me up. So do the other Jessie stooges! Love the first few seasons. Whole series is good, but watching Walt evolve is the best. Don't you love how every time Jessie F's up you can feel Walt's frustration and you feel like yelling at him through the screen?

So I just combusted for the first time with my nano. I have had it for a few months now and I am so used to it producing perfect vapor that I was confused about what was going on.

It has been on all day long and was at about 8. I was towards the end of my gong so the plant matter was already very dry.

Gotta be careful with that - especially up around 8 (wow that's hot!). Don't forget the load get's drier and more prone to combusting with every hit you take.

Just wondering, what's the difference between the EV2 and the nano?

Short answer.. It's a different vape made by the same company/person!

Some differences:
Different heater core (not positive, but pretty sure - Andy or early posts here can confirm)
Heat adjustment with a small screw on bottom - and "Boost" switch - instead of dial on cord
Primarily used with a whip (though glass stem is available) - instead of straight stem or GonG
Dual screen El-bowl - instead of Adjust-a-Bowl or glass screen
Is discontinued - though current stock seems like it will be sold until gone

For what it's worth, the nano is going nuts here (and I think Andy is starting to sell more elsewhere). Right now it's one of the most popular vapes on FC (if not the most popular), while the EV-2 is being discontinued. I'm no rocket scientist, and don't want to cause Andy to lose any sales of something he's trying to clear out, but just this ought to tell you something. :cool:

For more info, check out the thread: Epicvape Ev-1/EV-2

There are posts in that thread, and way back in this one, describing the differences in much more detail. For a while (way back) Andy was offering both together for a sick cheap price. IIRC you want to look around March - April 2013.

Thanks :tup: I'm sure I'll love it too... I've had my eye on one for a while now, can't wait!
Actually, not too long to wait now, as I've had a lovely mail telling me that my nano has shipped :rockon::party: :cheers: :clap:... now see how long it takes to get to the UK.
Been through the thread with a fine tooth comb and had already noticed your posts with the tips/tricks earlier (and prob watched most of @Caligula 's videos a number of times :D) so I'm well prepared thanks to you guys...

For what it's worth, the nano is going nuts here (and I think Andy is starting to sell more elsewhere). Right now it's one of the most popular vapes on FC (if not the most popular)

It certainly seems that way. I frequent a UK based site about a similar/related topic (;)) and there's at least half a dozen others who have them on there already, and it's getting a real reputation of being as good as the big name/buck brands at half the cost. It's also a lot (lot) prettier too!!
Now bear in mind that you can't get them here through any third party vape seller like Vapefiend, and so it's an international order direct from EpicVape; shipping costs/wait time/customs costs and we have to buy an inverter to use it too, it's still not putting anybody off - people want this thing. Look at all the international users that are posting in this thread too... seems to be going from strength to strength.

Another thing that is very noticeable to me, reading this thread compared to many others, is the lack of problems posted. I had my eye on an EVO at one point when it looked like they might actually release a 220v ver and in that thread (and many others tbf) it seems like for every two "this thing rocks" posts you always get the "had to open a support ticket" post... not here :tup:

Now time for me to sit back, wait patiently and resist the urge to check the tracking for my unit every 10 mins...

After a late night session of 'research and delvoplement' /E-Nano demos, I got kinda inspired and came up with a few t-shirt/hat/sticker ideas for Epic-swag.
Don't want to derail this thread, so just 'like' if you would be interested in any of these for stickers/hats/t-shirt swag.
'Make everyday epic.'
'Vape for life.'
'Combustion, you can live without it.'

So, Nano-Nation, dial your E-Nano up, Get your creative on, and email me with any font/graphic ideas for these and future swag. Andy@epicvape.com
Maybe we can do a poll/contest? Open to any ideas.

The Solo has a "Temp 8"?

No, the Nano does. I was using the Arizer Solo Aromatherapy cup on Temp setting 8 on the NANO.

Herb does fall onto the stainless heater.. Annoying if ur focusing on it, it can actually combust and pop if u don't watch out. What I do is use te end of a cigarette it pack it down so it doesn't fall out..

After nearly a year of use, this has NEVER once happened to me. I've seen a pop/flash in the gong of the EVO before, but never ever with my Nano. I frequently give a sharp blow of air to the heater port to blow out any ABV.

My 2014 solo doesn't drop temp often, maybe a level max when it isn't fully heat soaked. Me and my girl share sessions with the solo since day one without problems. Not trying to derail. The e nano is definitely more powerful / more air flow and can keep up with hard pulls

My Solo doesn't drop temps either, but compared to the Nano it DOES need a bit of a heat soak. Nano is definitely the hotter of the two, and does have better airflow...apples and oranges, can't live without my Nano or Solo, but I frequently use the Solo when I don't need portability instead of the Nano just to change things up. Different vapes for different applications! However with water I can whitewall my glass effortlessy with either vape depending on my technique.
