That's what my really short stubby silicone-gong is, managed to clean it out pretty well and it works so well.

If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
@ACE OF VAPE is there any new about the European version of e-nano?
Is it still scheduled for first quarter of 2015?

All my nano glass fits differently some tight some loose,if its too tight id contact them it happens with handmade glass. For the burn issue you could get some silicone hose to wrap around it, if it already has silicone on it you could wrap another layer. Or try wrapping in something else?

@Andreaerdna Don't wait...
Just use a step down inverter with the 110v ver. Quite a few of us are doing that already.
Not as convenient true, but means you get a nano asap. And you really want one of these things, believe me.

Hi
I received a new 18 mm water pipe adaptater from EpicVape this week, I can see wpa is moving a bit in wp top.
Wpa seems not to be totally round.
Does anyone ever meet this kind of wpa ? Is it an issue ?
Thanks for your help

I know I really want one, but I'm new in vapeing so I can afford to wait. while waiting for my european enano I enjoy others vape like the lotus i get 3weeks ago and a coming soon VM (on its way to my house). I like portable vapes (have also a solo, vaponic, hammer), I'm quite sure e-nano will be my only plug in vape.
Btw I heard step down converter could be noisy, is it?

Low hum/very quiet vibration noise that you can only hear if you're in a quiet room and listening for it.
I wasn't aware Andy was doing an EU ver next year. There was some talk about it, but don't remember anything firm

O.K guys, finally received my walnut e-nano, this thing is tiny! I didn't get a chance to get a good step down converter, but I happened to have one lying around from years....I'm not certain about the nanos specifics so I wanted to check....the box says 110v 30w. http://imgur.com/9zRV2S3
anyone? I cant wait so I'll give you 10 minutes....then i'm pluggin her in.

I contacted him weeks ago and even if nothing was fixed, I recall him talking about maybe first quarter of 2015.
I have fine ears, small vibration noise like small electric "leaking" will make me crazy at mid term

Fortunately, all of my epic gongs fit all of my pieces well. But, this problem has been noted before. I have had the issue with other GonGs over the years, though. Usually cheap Chinese stuff.
If it wobbles a bit with no air passing by, no biggie IMO. If some loose air is getting by, definitely contact Andy for a replacement. In the meantime, a quick fix is to use a small o-ring on the male GonG side (on the adapter itself on the part that goes into your water piece/j-hook). Put it where it sits right at the top of the female GonG, then nudge it a bit further out on the male side - towards the connection. This should give you a good seal while you wait for replacement. With something as light as the nano, it's OK if the o-ring actually holds the GonG a millimeter or so out of connection than it would seat if just glass on glass.
With a little creativity, you can pull the same thing off using a rubber-band.
Easiest way I know to test if air is getting by is to take an empty cool adapter and drop it on your piece. Use your thumb or a stopper to seal the nano end and draw. If you get bubbles, air is leaking from the sides. If not, you're airtight on the GonG.
If you still get air around the sides with the o-ring, try adjusting the o-ring a little more into the joint and/or, put a layer of spit around the o-ring. You'd be surprised how much a little spit will lube the o-ring to let it slip a bit more into the joint, or the spit will even seal a tiny airgap.
Not the best way to roll, but it has worked well for me on pieces with a loose female GonG, and a black o-ring on a GonG is kind of a cool looking accent. Though not that cool in my eyes because it is pretty obvious it's a quick fix!

I'd like to announce that I've created a Best of the E-Nano from Epicvape thread based on a nomination by @Enchantre. I included a couple of early posts with introductory information, but I didn't verify whether they were still current. I'd appreciate it if someone could check this. I also encourage all of you to nominate the best posts you've read here. Read How the "Best Of" threads work for details. I'd really like to see volunteers—yes, multiple—to review the whole thread. I bet you'd be surprised what you learn.
Excuse the form letter but I hope to make a lot of similar posts in the near future. I wanted to add that if you read The Best Of... in the Community Discussion forums, you can see how this thread played a role in the creation of the "Best Of" threads. Thanks, guys!

@flotnoke Interesting test and fix !
There was unfortunately some medium bubbles during test with new water pipe adaptater.
I used blue Volcano's o-ring to fix this issue, after (fine) adjustements wpa can not move no more and test result is 2 ou 3 little bubbles for a 5 seconds draw . A little spit under o-ring, where it touches GonG female, helps to totally seal airgap
. And Blue O-ring gives a touch of colour to my transparent waterpipe, I get this kind of cool looking accent now 
Before your answer I used bakingpaper between male GonG and female Gong, but it was inside airpath and fell frequently. Your technique with o-ring outside airpath is safer and more reliable.
Rubber-band idea is keeped in the back of my mind.
Nevertheless, because of airgap issue and because I am not really comfortable with wobling wpa, contacting Andy about wpa issue seems to be the best solution IMO.

I'm pretty sure I just invented an entirely new way to ingest medical marijuana. Using a clean E-Nano stem without a screen installed, quickly and deeply inhale a quarter gram of finely ground herb into your lungs. If you do it right, half will go into your lungs and the other half will get caught in your throat.
As you simultaneously vomit and cough up the now soggy herbal goodness, resist the urge to expel it from your mouth. Instead, let this mouthful of herb/phlegm/vomit travel up and deep into your sinus cavities where the stomach acid will irritate the delicate mucous membranes, helping them to better absorb the healing qualities of the herb. For added effect you can eat the dark green slime that is now draining profusely from your nostrils. I call this Already Been Vomited ABV.
PSA: when your are finished cleaning your glass stems, make sure to actually install a new clean screen before trying to load it by inhaling through the stem.
Edit: just looked at the exotics available and thought people should know about the "premium walnut" units Andy has. From the pics, these look like they came from the same lot of really gorgeous curiously grained wood that mine came from. I can tell that the one in the fourth photo is going to have an amazing color shifting effect when held and turned in the morning or afternoon light. I love my very exotic curly koa, but my Walnut that looks like these is no less beautiful. These look like a great way to get an exotic for a more standard price.

Hey everyone, back with an update here! The lady has had the e-nano for about a month now, she hasn't combusted once for an entire week, progress, wooooooo! She had her first real moment of weakness last night, missing the act of smoking and rolling one, but she fought through it. She has mentioned that using the e-nano warms her hands which she loves and tastes spectacular, she NEVER coughs anymore which makes me happy because she's not hacking up her lungs and in pain, and she uses a lot less herb using this vape compared to when she used to roll joints all day. Now the only complaint she's had is it seems to take a long time for her to get there, she will literally sit and vape for about an hour to an hour and a half and it takes a while to hit her, so I think maybe she's doing it wrong so I have come here for some help.
She uses it as such:
Plugs it in and warms it up for about 5-10 minutes on the highest setting then turns it down to 6 and let's it sit for a few minutes. She takes her herb and grinds it then sucks enough to fill the screen and then takes a few hits at that heat and uses the pick to stir, she then hits it again at different heats and works her way up to 9. She has a high tolerance because she's smoked steady every single day for over 5 years now. Now we haven't changed anything with the screen yet to move it closer, she has tried difference inhale lengths and twisting the stem as she pulls, are there any other tips to get her there faster and allow her to really enjoy the experience. Is there a mental aspect to it, maybe letting yourself enjoy it and really taking the time to have fun with it maybe letting you feel better and thus relaxing and letting the herb do it's thing? Any and all tips will be great, should she be putting more herb in then just enough to cover the screen, should she JUST be taking draws until it's brown and no longer pulls vapor at higher heats then putting that in her jar for later use, I do feel like she uses the same bowl, including stirring it, for up to half an hour until it looks like a coffee bean color wise. Could time be a factor too, as in she's only vaped steady for a week, maybe in a few weeks it'll start to hit her differently and to be patient?
Thanks guys, happy holidays!

Woohoo,
Does she keep getting vapor the whole time?
IMO, vaping does take longer to get through a session and longer to hit you. It's like it eases on to you, unlike combustion that hits you hard. The longer she moves away from combustion, the easier it is to pick up the vape feeling. Now I feel sick after combusting, which is probably what she is lacking.

my e nano should be here today or tomorrow thanks to this site's classified section. cant wait to get it.
anyway I already have a WP in the shape of a d020. and used it with my ssv and when I had one an lsv.
got really good results. smooth and a little bit of flavour.
if I was to upgrade my WP to lets say a medium sized one from dh gate, bare in mind I would like a performance jump and the best flavour possible with a vape and WP. which I know is difficult.
but ive been working my way backwards through this thread and saw someone mentions less diffusion is better for vape bonging and flavour??
is this true?
if anyone would share what WP they've got and are using with e nano that would be great
thanks

first of it will take some time for her vaping steady...
if you have a glass bubbler or anything like that she could try to hit the nano through this dry (wet)... it delivers other effects (bigger hits) (but you will also need a epic gong for this)
but if she is new to vaping it takes some time to get used to vaping but with a little bit of dicipline i am sure she will master that... (she shouldn t smoke in this time)....
she also can try to eat some of the abv (i tried it and it had also nice effects, but be careful to not overdo it)... i know maybe this is a stupid recommendation

Happy to hear it!
First off - make sure she is using the screen at the proper height - maybe move the screen closer?
Is she cloud chasing? IE - taking large rips and blowing out huge clouds? Try telling her to hold in the hit for 10-15 seconds before exhaling.
Sometimes I take HUGE rips in front of friends and blow them out really fast so I can show the vapor cloud. But realistically, I get more medicated if I hold in the hit for several seconds

@Thrasher52
I agree with @Tweak
I was a 3 blunt a day smoker for 20 years.....ive been vaping for about a month now(i have a solo)......its a different high.....more of a creeping high than a smack you in ths face high......it takes a little getting used to......i would suggest telling her to take a 10 minute break after her 1st or 2nd session and she might realize that shes a lot closer to where she wants to be than she thought.....

I recall hearing some of the newer stems also work in the Solo. I would really like to have some dual vaporizer stems for Nano and Air, So do the current stems work in both?
I would also like to point out that you can use nylon U.d stems on the Nano. The only thing is you have to hold it there perfectly, In the dark it can be kind of annoying, But works great when you can see exactly what's going on.

Thanks guys! I will tell her to try the 10-15 second hold in inhale tonight and see how that goes and we will move the screen a bit closer as well, she has definitely had that moment ctx haha about four times now, where she asks if she's high then about 15 minutes later she's smoked out haha! It's just frustrating for her at this early stage, yes she's addicted to the herb but she also has used it for years for aches and pains, she doesn't QUITE get the full body pain relief yet from vaping but I'm assuming with more practice, patience, and time, she will get there, nothing else helps her quite like MJ, but I will always support her and she's tough, she can do this, you all can!
One of things I love about this little wooden can is the fact that it forces you to slow down and pay close attention to all the details of the ritual. It is like a stroll through a winding forest foot path instead of a rocket ship trip.
When you slow down and really look for the details and subtle feedback you get from the device, fine tuning your method for this exact herb at this exact moment in time becomes intuitive with practice.
One thing that might help would be to grind a portion of the day's medication early in the day and place or in a very small airtight container. This material will be consistent, so it will be easy to fine tune your technique for the morning.
Also, I have heard anecdotal reports that holding it in more than 3-5 seconds doesn't do anything but deprive you of oxygen. Something to do with chemistry and gas laws and equilibrium states: after a couple seconds, no more THC moves from the air into your bloodstream. So I do not hold it in until I'm dizzy anymore unless I want to feel that way.
Edit: and the honest truth im afraid is that she will feel better once her tolerance goes down from vaping. I'm getting much more medicated on much less material than I ever thought possible.
