Hi everyone, my first post here! I've been perusing the site for a few weeks here, and I don't think I've come across a more helpful community, you guys all seem great! I've had a MFLB for a couple of years and like it very much, and the E-Nano and other log tapes drew my interest because they are similarly built with wood, are efficient, etc. I purchased a walnut E-nano and have had it for about a week, and should be getting my buckeye burl E-Nano (from snappos) next week! Will probably give the walnut E-nano to a friend once I see the buckeye burl, looking forward to it!
Anyway, I've read through much of this thread and have seen pretty much nothing but universal praise, and how efficient log vapes are. So far in my use it seems I'm using more herb than I did with my MFLB (granted it's still a small amount compared to combusting), but I'm not too sure if I'm doing everything right. I have the stock stem that came with it, I pack a small amount into it against the metal screen, I've pre-heated the e-nano for at least 5 minutes on a 6.5 setting, and I seem to be able to get 2-3 draws out of it and then it's a darkish brown color where it seems to be about done...but maybe people here keep using it for additional hits afterward? The MFLB has a nice users guide and tons of youtube videos about how to use it, I couldn't find too much besides this forum on how to use it properly. I'm not saying I'm disappointed, just a little discouraged, though I'm hoping there's just a slight learning curve I have to get over and then it will be amazing. I hope to one day get a water bubbler for it, but that's a ways off.
My only nitpick with the actual unit, the power cord seems a little heavy overpowers the unit so it doesn't sit up straight, unless the cord is balanced against something else. I'm sure I'll get used to it though.
Welcome to the forum! You have made an excellent purchase! I wish my first desktop vape purchase was an E-nano!
2-3 GOOD draws sounds about right for the E-nano. Though I have found an extra several 'invisible' draws when using a bright flashlight to illuminate my bubbler. Though overall, I empty my load after 3-4 hits.
Your E-Nano is WAY more powerful than your MFLB, it's no wonder why the same amount of material may be consumed faster. If you want to extend the number of hits, why not starting your session at 5.5 for the first 1-2 draws, and then bumping up to 6.5 for the last 1-3 draws?
Regarding the heavy powercord. this is a common problem. Hence the new nano stand accessory which holds a nano and 4 accessories. I personally ordered my custom Afzelia burl nano 0.25 inches taller to make it a bit heavier to prevent the cord from twisting up my Nano (which it has worked very well). Though I think the Nano stand is a great idea to prevent the cord issue from becoming an issue.
Dude, water filtration is where the Nano shines!! There's a whole thread in the glass section dedicated to cheap high quality bubblers. Most all of my waterpipe collection was less than $40 a piece. I have over 5 pieces to use, all of which cost less than $300 in total! I love switching up my glass every 2 weeks. Today I tried a new small glass bubbler and the taste was superior, I was amazed at how a simple change in glass could affect the flavor.
