Happy Friday friends. I have some nice Blue Dream in my Nano right now. Wishing everyone a wonderful and a relaxing weekend. Not too many more summer days left. Unforetuneatly fall will be here in one month.

EDIT
I see on Epic's online store it says 24 to 48 hours added to the shipping time due to heavy volume Remember nobody likes to eat at an empty restaurant.:leaf::2c:
@durtndur beautiful Enano!

I'm in love! <3
After heating the nano up for ~20 minutes, I packed .05 of ground gdp into the gong (with basket screen) and ripped it through my d020-d. I am thoroughly impressed! I got a massive hit, stirred it a little and finished the bowl in one more hit. I then packed a .05 for my girlfriend. We are both incredibly toasted... off 0.1. I AM CONVERTED!

Nice! Love the grain on that thing. If it was mine I'd call it tiger so I could constantly sing Dio to my wife. "Ride the tiger!!!"
 
Got my walnut E-nano from the classifieds! has been sitting here for a while at my house but just got back from vacation. It is warming now. will report back later! I am planning to do a fairly in-depth comparison with my underdog.
My initial impression is that the E-nano seems more professionally/commercially produced whereas the underdog is more of an art piece. Not a rip on either of them, they both have their appeal to me and surely to others. I prefer the sturdiness of the E-nano cord and I like the smoothness of the dial (as well as the fact that it is adjustable straight out of the box of course!), although the thin underdog cord is nice for passing around a table. The e-nano itself seems a bit heavier and possibly sturdier. The nano stems and GonGs seem much sturdier than the underdog's glass pieces. The ends of the nano stems are not cut crookedly like the underdog stems are. I like how the e-nano stems have a stop built into them to keep the heater away from the load. The e-nano regular stems are about the same thickness as the thick direct draw underdog stem. Unfortunately, UD does not offer a thick option for GonGs. That said, I really like the Underdog nylon and stainless pieces. I have both the NonG and the nylon direct draw. They seem to work very well in my experience. The E-pick stirring tool is something that I really like as well. It may seem unnecessary but I have been using a paperclip to stir the entire time I have had the UD. I will likely order a black anodized aluminum stando (or maybe walnut) as well as some more screens, an aromatherapy cup, a spare cord, a few e-picks, and maybe some other stuff. Which GonGs and stems do you guys prefer for the E-nano? I have three direct stems with basket screens as well as two 14mm GonGs and an 18mm GonG.
I wish that i had a vvps for the underdog in order to do a more thorough comparison, but currently it will be more of an out of the box type of deal. Feel free to suggest any specific comparison criteria that you would like to see. Also feel free to suggest tips for the e-nano. I feel pretty confident using it since the underdog is pretty similar so hopefully I will get some pretty decent results.

Placed an order for a Fiddleback Maple Nano last night :D
So excited to get this one. It's been a long time since i've bought a vaporizer.

I have a nice stash of Blue Dream that's just waiting to be vaped!

I'm in love! <3

Looks like we all opted for the Fiddleback, great minds think alike! Mine just shipped, I can't wait to use it, hopefully my Girl Scouts can last till then, I'm pretty sure they will. If not I'm sure I'll have something else good to test out.

Thanks, now every time I use it I'm going to hear Eye of the Tiger in my head. At least it'll be good for helping teach others how to use it; "just put the stem on the eye of the tiger" lol.

I've decided to name my Fiddleback e-nano Hobbes.

Got one of those, I got some hose clamps and glue and closed up the split. Now I am waiting for the next split.

I kinda like that idea. hose clamps I got an RMA in on Thrusday kinda bummed I've not gotten an RMA year guess I'll have to wait till Monday and call them voice to ask.

For cleaning? I use a piece of PVC (insert PVC warnings) pipe and a couple of caps. Its easy to pour in and out of and uses minimal ISO.
I guess I wasn't clear

great idea for cleaning I soak the screens in ISO and just push an ISO soaked wad of TP down it cleans it like a whistle.

Sorry to see that, @BOBCAT . Such a beautiful nano!

Hope you and @Lou Taylor get them straightened out and back soon.

Just out of curiosity, do either of you leave them on or do you turn them off and on daily? Lou - what type of wood is yours?

Turned wood (especially a cup like this) can crack randomly in any application. I have a nice kitchen bowl made by a friend of mine about 10 years ago just start cracking, and it doesn't go through the heat changes a nano does (no dishwasher for this beauty!). So, it isn't unusual. Just wondering if leaving it on all the time and not regularly subjecting them to more drastic temp changes helps. Or, if some woods are less prone to splitting with a nano. So far, both of my cherry ones are fine. One on pretty much all the time and one on about half the time and all the way off the other half.

Yea I'm bad about forgetting and leaving it on for days. The plan is to turn it off at night. I can't imagine leaving anything that generates heat on 24/7 would extend its lifespan.

My nano is a basic cherry. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I think next time I'll try the hose clamps as soon as a crack shows up. How about some colored O Rings that would also serve as drop protectors?

Andy made mine that way.It's supposed to look like that.It is turned off daily.

Oh, OK. Very cool! It does look sweet with the crack in it. Thought you were saying above that it cracked, but after looking again guess I just misunderstood. :shrug: Doh!

After testing the E-nano and underdog side-by side last night, I think I can offer a fairly accurate comparison....
Modnote: The post containing the above quote was moved to a more appropriate, but closed thread. Please keep in mind that these types of vape comparisons should be posted in the related Resource section. Thank you!

Thanks for the comparison! :clap:

Have always thought the nano may require less re-heat between hits if going at it hard because of the AC power. Anxious to hear if the comparison changes with a VVPS on the UD. Might be some of the nano advantages with vapor are due to it being at a higher temp than the UD is on stock wall wort. Just another reason I went for the nano, though. Stock power/temp setting ability is a wonderful thing!

Also was surprised to hear the stock UD stems aren't as tight around the heater. This would be a pretty big deal for me - well, I guess if I knew the nano was tighter from the start. Looser stem connection means more fresh air and less vapor in every hit. Probably part of the reason you're getting thicker clouds with nano. I like to hit without much draw resistance, but prefer a little more of it to adding more fresh air after heater.

(Edited out first few sentences so post is politically correct)

@flotntoke underdog sells o-rings for the core(people are using 'em with Ed's stems and the nano too) and if you were to use them the only air going through your herbs come through the heater core itself so no cooler outside ambient air is involved.

I don't own a e-nano now but my Epicvape EV-2 is ready to go in 5-7 minutes after plugging it in but it along with my 'dogs all perform better if they've been on long enough for the wood outside to be warm to the touch.

:peace:

Received my 2nd nano in today while I await a response for an RMA request for my first one (going on 2 weeks now).

Sadly, similar to the earlier poster, the stem that came with it won't fit. :shrug:

no problem, I still have my stem from the first nano. Tried It and it barely fits and gets stuck to the point that you think it's going to break the heater. :rant:

I'm having some bad luck over here. 2 Nanos but can't use em. In thinking of opening my 1st nano up and look for a loose wire. It might be time to take matters into my own hands. Any advice?

You will blow your warranty if you take matters into your own hands.:2c:
 
Well, it looks like all of my comparison posts have been moved to the closed thread "log vape battle"

http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/log-battle-e-nano-vrs-underdog.17926/page-5

I would have put them in that thread to start with if it were not closed. I suppose that any future comparisons I do I will just have to post here and allow the mods to move once again since I am unable to post there otherwise.

Since Underdogs are not all the same size some heat up a lot quicker then others. One of mine takes around 7 minutes from room temp to clouds one takes 15 -20 minutes one takes 30 minutes and my mini is ready in 2-3 minutes, all using the same wall wart.

The start and continuation of this comparo discussion was not fair

Don't see how it wasn't fair no-one said one was better then the other but if it really bothers ya go ahead and report to move or delete it if you wish.

There were Questions concerning the heat up times of both so it only seemed Fair and maybe helpful to answer them to me.

Thanks for the tip! Might have to pick a couple of those o-rings up.

I totally agree about everything you said. The nano is definitely capable of getting hotter which seems to be where its advantage lies most (this can be solved easily with a vvps but it is nice that the nano is adjustable straight out of the box). I also think that the underdog seems to allow more fresh air in with the glass stems. This problem should be negated by using the stainless stems since they fit inside of the heater port. The stainless stems do tend to provide more draw resistance than a glass stem for either of the logs. I would definitely like to try the o-ring for glass UD stems. Seems like it would keep the total temperature of the air passing over the bud closer to the temp you want.

I still think that the nano is going to be nearly impossible to "cool off" by hitting it repeatedly. This problem could also be solved by setting the temp a bit higher with a vvps, although a better solution would be to ensure that this is not possible to begin with. I do really like the fact that the UD runs on 12 volts and can be adapted to a car or portable battery pack with ease.

I've seen it tried with one of mine, but to date no one has been able to pull down the nano heat. Not even with three of us going at it and trying to in quick succession. Be warned, with only 3 people - you will all be pretty stoned quickly!

Now that really sucks!! Makes it seem even more the little bit of extra heater core width is causing the problem. Hope this get this issue straightened out soon!

Point well taken, but don't think it is really a head to head. Personally, I think it is good and healthy for both. The head to head threads get shut down rather quickly (as they probably should), and if IIRC the questions about differences pop up all the time here. Would guess they pop up often over there also. Most asking instead of trying to figure it out for themselves don't even know where to look for the closed threads.

I'm not sure why it's unfair. Isn't there an identical ones in the enano and ud threads? I'd imagine that those who have not tried both might have a bias towards whichever log they have.
