First the flavor, then the buZzz settles in....

Oh yeah! Looking great! I will definately be ordering two of each from you. Looks like the SNP will be great for scooping kief. Any idea of pricing (or ballpark)?Yep, so far the progress has been GREAT - here's the evolution of these 3D printed tools:
(All 5 were 3D printed in steel, some with premium finishes - I've now split the design into two versions - "Scoop-N-Stir" and "Scoop-N-Poke")
I've got 3 copies of my 4th prototype of the Scoop-N-Stir at the printers now, they are supposed to be shipping on Monday. If those look good, I'll activate shipping for everyone to order direct through shapeways (or you can wait and buy them through my store and save on combined shipping - I plan to stock the two most popular finishes for both models)
I hate outsourcing 3D printed stuff - they take freaking FOREVER to process orders (3 weeks). I started this process what, three months ago?? Lol, almost there, I promise.
That said, they are worth the wait! I REALLY enjoy my latest Scoop-N-Stir (the one next to the gold poke tool).
Dang. I think I messed up. I ordered the maple. When I plugged in the FC coupon, I was told that the maple (sale item) doesn't come with the FC discount. The maple was still a few $ cheaper than some other simiiarly priced nanos with the FC discount, so what the heck I stuck with it. Had no idea that it affected the warranty (my order says 3 yrs., not lifetime). Noobie mistake and a little bit of a buzz kill.
So you're good, just register on the e-nano website after you get it.
I've said this a few timesThis is one of the most talked about vape here. I'm very intrigued by the "log" concept, but have been a long time smoker, mostly rolling. I have no glass, water, experience much, nor does it seem like an enjoyable ritual to me. I love S&B products because of the ease of use, taste, purity. Do the log vapes win in any of those departments as compared to a Might or Plenty? Is the taste superior. Is there ease of use (relatively). Efficiency? - you hear legendary things while my Plenty rips through material. I want to branch out, not waste money on vapes I won't use. Bud, the vape critic, doesn't seem to even mention logs, and I've followed his advice on my S&B purchases and am quite happy.
eNano Reasons yes? Reasons no?
Try and find a vape blog/review that does. On 2nd thought don't waste your time. So far I haven't seen any review site mention any model that doesn't fit the normal, mass produced type of production and distribution. You could say that the Magic Flight box is an exception, but that company has apparently been able to streamline production in order to pump out high volume and maintain consistent results. Log vapes are a different animal. They're hand built, with the woodwork requiring time and talent, and production is accordingly limited. The term 'log vape' was coined here at FC and the Purple Days was the first vape to have mfg. representation here. If you know what a log vape is and don't read FC , then you've heard it from someone who does.Bud, the vape critic, doesn't seem to even mention logs, and I've followed his advice on my S&B purchases and am quite happy.

As for why you'd choose the e-nano over a mass produced model, you get versatility that's hard to beat, as far as using it as a 'sipper' or a 'gulper' (do get a gong adapter), reliability, and a life time warranty if you're an FC member. My 2nd nano purchase has been a big success, since I included another power cord with the buy, and my wife loves being able to easily move it back and forth from the den to the bedroom.
That's called a sweeping generalization. You're saying that anyone and everyone who chooses to have a vape review site is "somewhat biased", for whatever reason, and that's an absolute. You're saying it's impossible to be unbiased and I'd have to disagree with that.I also think that all reviewers are somewhat biased about the product in mind.
If by "getting a cut from it" you mean getting to keep the test vape, that's true in a lot of cases, but none of 'em are getting a cut of the profits (unless they have an investment in the company). A company would have to be insane to do that just for a good review. The advantage of getting a good review from a blog site is often overrated, since most people don't even read on-line reviews before buying.They might lean towsrds It since they are getting a cut from it
I don't read his reviews, so I can't comment on his particular site or reviewing methods. Any reviewer brings a certain slant to reviews, depending on previous experience and outlook. It can be hard to separate objectivity from subjectivity sometimes. That's why it's good to read all the reviews you can find, especially user reviews (what you get on forums), and try and get a consensus.I think Bud does a good job with the details and expressing his feelings toward the unit in question at that moment.

It's about recognizing your likes and dislikes and making an effort to take the subjectivity out of the review. As a prospective buyer it's hard to recognize bias (or even poor reviewing) if you're not familiar with the product or even type of product, so you look for multiple reviews, and try to get a consensus.Well I think everybody is biased in a way. As you mentioned based on their experience and outlook on life, Why wouldnt reviewers also be?
This is what makes buying a vaporizer so difficult. Like with buying a vehicle, you need to handle and test drive, in order to compare properly and make sure you get something that fits you. Even in a brick and mortar store, you're not likely to even get the chance to do a dry test draw on a vape, and even if they had test vapes, who wants to depend on the clerk cleaning a mouthpiece after every test. Hopefully one day everyone (everywhere) will be able to test drive vapes the way we test drive vehicles, to make sure we get one that suits.When buying a vaporizer and if you haven't had a chance to try it out the only thing you have is the suggestions of others.

USPS tends to seriously suck. One time I bought someones computer and they decided to ship it via USPS which is pretty foolish to be honest. It came pretty bent up but luckily everything inside was working so I let it slide. Anyway I hate on USPS quite often but the fact of the matter is that they have a LOT of mail to handle and they probably do it the best they can. You will get your piece I can pretty much promise, just be patient. Will probably get it early this upcoming week.Hey guys, has anyone else had a funny shipping experience with epicvape? My order was marked shipped Tuesday night, but the tracking hasn't updated since. It only shows that pre-shipment information was sent.
Vapecritic was helpful. He gave me some direction. But he definitely seemed to associate good vapes with good clouds, so yeah, he was biased. My entrance to vaporization was via the Air, which has changed my world if I have to be frank, but clouds have next to nothing to do with why it works so well for me. I bought it because of what I learned here.
The best means of "test driving" different Vapes for me has been to meet up with other FC members and bring a few of my own for a "vaporware" party.
That's a nice video, cwheezy, well done!
