E-Nano from Epickai

[nihil]

1) What is the difference between your two maple unit vapes you have for sale. I see there is a $10 difference in price but didn't notice anything else.



2) IM assuming from the looks of your 18mm GONG that it is a female adapter. I'm looking to buy a D020D bubbler from dhagte and want to make sure they are compatible. I notice that particular device is mentioned allot in relation to your vapes so I figured you might be able to answer that question .



3) Do you still offer a Lifetime warranty on your vaporizers if you are a member of FC and if so how would I exercise that option. I'm guessing once I register my vape that warranty would be granted ?



4) Also would I still be eligible for a 20 % discount your company is offering by using the 420sale16 promo code or does would I have to use the FC promo code (FCLOVE) or is there another way to get the 20% discount and the Lifetime warranty. IN another word can I double dip on this promotion ?



5) Whats the MAIN difference between your adjustable and fixed glass stems. I would like to buy a backup stem but I am not sure which one might be best for me. I'm guessing you cant adjust the fixed screen in one of them (DUH,lol)



6) how long is power cord does it work with extension cord if needed

1. Premium wood. Usually means a better or more unique wood grain.

2. 18mm GonG works great with the D020D bubbler.

3. I think it used to be 10 years for members, but I believe it changed recently. Anyone?

4. Can't help you with this one.

5. Get the adjustable. Get two.. 2 is 1, 1 is none. Rumor has it that the fixed stems break easier. Main difference is that the adjustable has a metal screen that can be moved to.. adjust it.

6. 10 feet. It absolutely works with an extension cord. Keep in mind that at 15 watts, this guy can be sensitive. The amount of heat at the same setting may vary from outlet to outlet around your home.

THanks I know they are located in CA but like I said IM guessing they might be dealing with some shit so I will try again later. Thanks also for the other info

Yanks, I have never heard of anyone being left out in the cold on a warranty issue. Andy has always taken care of his customers.

You'll not find a better plug-in vape than a nano. They are wonderfully efficient, powerful, beautiful and produce tasty vapor. They are literally stupid-proof in that it is pretty easy to get consistent results every time. At 20% off that is quite a deal. If I was buying one for the first time, I'd also get 1 or 2 adjustable 18mm gongs, a 5 pack of basket screens and a spare power cord.

First, you need to decide where you will be vaping most of the time. If you partake at home mostly, then a plug-in like the nano is for you. If you mostly vape on the road then a portable, like a solo, would be more your style. Congratulations on deciding to fuck combustion! Vaping is the way to go for your health.

I've only been enjoying the herb since the 1980's, so you got me beat

I got the maple 'cause I'm not a wood meister and one wood is as good as the next in my mind so it came to $ for me. Let me say I love my maple and would probably pay more for it next time if it died which it won't because it has a lifetime warranty, I think. Which isn't right, really, 'cause the thing rocks and shouldn't be expected to last for ever. I'd probably not get the fixed glass stem since why really it's so easy to clean the screen and being able to move it is the whole point kind of. I've heard of the ocasional crack and the ocasional bum chord. Ocasional being the operative word. Never heard anyone say they weren't taken care of. So get you that nano and not to worry.

 

[Spocks_Katra]

accidentally combusted last night with this thing. Had the screen a 1/5th of an inch or so closer than it's supposed to be and had it cranked up to 9ish and also let it heat sink for a minute or so.


Sounds like a lot of users select a temp they like and don't waiver much from it. Is that because the nano takes a while to reach a set temp? Coming from a Arizer Air I'm used to starting at a low temp and then cranking up as I go. A lot of my sessions yesterday consisted of starting high with a lil nugglet and then turning DOWN the temp as I went and stirred after a toke and made it all dry and fine, ya know. But it sounds like I might need to manually control the temp with distance rather than the dial.

Not really noticing the massive efficiency so far either (compared to AA). Granted I am going at a pretty high heat and the vapour density does seems thicker than with the AA... but I'm cashing stems pretty quickly. IDK, I'll prob weigh out .075-.1 or so and see how they perform with the same strain back to back.

The eNano really is a beast though. Thick tasty vapor on demand. Minimal clean up. Sturdy construction/design. I'm very happy with my purchase so far and with a lil practice can prob minimize the cons

yeah the nano isnt good at quickly switching temps. For herb you really dont need to go past 7. ive combusted once at 7.5. Most people are in the 6-7 range I dont think people even use 9 except maybe for concentrates through glass

Just remember all nanos are different, and different strokes for different folks.

I'm usually around 6.25 with mine, and 7.5 will always combust at my normal screen depth. But if I have a few people hitting it at the same time, I often push the screen down and load it up. You need to kick up the heat for this to work (and keep top of load further from heater screen). Of course I only do this after everyone gets their own 2 hit deliciousness or a few of them if they like!

nano is awesome! I think the thing I have come to like about it the most is its dependability in whatever particular situation. But, I still think versatility is what makes it so popular and a favorite of many.

 

[ACE OF VAPE]

The box part on the bottom is still in the unit on bottom, it just pulls out maybe a 1/4 inch when pulling the cord out of it. When it's in use I obviously push it back in just wanted to know if it's okay to use

You should get an RMA and send it back when its convenient for you.

Maybe they are going through some shit. I will try again later. Thanks

I thought everything was running smooth over here until I saw your post. We answer emails weekday and sometimes on weekends, so I'm not sure where yours is ending up or why we haven't seen it. I'll have to look into the phone situation tomorrow. It's a computer based app and maybe there is a problem with it. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks much for all your info. the only thing that concerns me is playing with all that glass when im self medicating and lubricating but I will do my best not to break anything

 

[Pjake]

Thanks

I suggest silicone mats in the vape area. They can help with short falls. I also keep my nano on one to hold it in place better.

@Yanks2016 See Ed's wood to get away from glass http://edstnt.com/

 

[Pete]

I would also suggest getting an extra (adjustable) glass stem. That way, you have a clean stem to offer visitors and a spare if you break yours. Or if you are a heavy hitter, you can load both stems for a long session, I suppose.

I don't have a silicon map, but just vape over my desk. I seriously doubt the stem would break falling a foot onto the desk's blotter.

BTW - when I got a non-functioning power cord, I called their phone number about 9AM CA time and immediately got a woman, who noted my problem and suggested I follow-up with an email to the contact email address since she was driving and couldn't write stuff down. They sent out my replacement cord the next day.

BTW2 - I'm an old medical patient almost exactly your age! Go, white hairs!

I agree if that is worth anything worth having it would be a NANO!
If one is not in your rotation I fell sorry for you!
Just kidding I meant to say,

"Snooze ya lose you know Da rules"!

 

[beiberhole69]

So day 2 is in the books and I combusted with it yet again. Totally user error (I wouldn't describe this unit as idiot proof at all), but it kinda sucks that it's so easy. That and that they are like little snow flakes when it comes to heat settings is kind of a bummer for me. Folks are combusting at 7.5 and enjoying vapor in the 5's... when mine is barely warm to the touch at 5 and have to crank up to 8 to get some cloudage.

I wish the dial was a linear potentiometer where 1 to 2 to 3 where more equal steps instead of nothing from 1-6 and then wisps to hurricane from there (logarithmic potentiometer)

But def still learning and enjoying. Not an ounce of buyers remorse though and the extra $20 ($16 with the sale I guess) for Walnut was a wise choice for me. Gonna leave it on at 5 while I sleep and try to hit it at that when I get up.

Yes - a linear output with dial setting would help - I think you'd need a logarithmic pot (which they make) for this as the power in the heater goes roughly as the inverse of the square of the pot resistance.

I think some of the variability people report is due to variations in their line voltage.

The proper way would be to have a variable voltage regulator. You'd control the voltage out to the heater. This would be independent, within reason, to wall voltage

All that said, I've had no trouble with mine, which I have had for several weeks now. I tried it at around 6 the first time I used it, turned out that was a good spot and have been using it at between about 5.75 and 6.5 ever since. No bad loads at all.

If 6 was too high or low I would have experimented until I found a good setting - if it burned I would have gone down in whole units until it started getting good and then increment smaller amounts until I hit a sweet spot. Or if almost no vapor, gone up a whole unit, etc. Look up "Newton's Method" about how to search for an optimal setting on a non-linear curve.

But once you found a good spot, it should stay good unless you are having wild swings in your house voltage, or perhaps a lot of variability between plugs if you move it around.

 

[beiberhole69]

Thanks @Pete, I'll check out that Newtonian method.

I don't really know too much about pots... just what I learned in audio engineering class... but it came to me last night when I was thinking about the dial.

Prob my main concern in this is that I usually play with a lot of different strains and I've noticed they all seem to have different sweet spots when it comes to flavor and vapor production. Looks like screen position and how I hold the unit are the best way to control the heat variable rather than the knob



edit: BTW, absolutely nothing at 5. I'm guessing 6 will be less than blue on the AA also.

 

[Pete]

Prob my main concern in this is that I usually play with a lot of different strains and I've noticed they all seem to have different sweet spots when it comes to flavor and vapor production.

I wonder if it is mostly varying moisture content? If so, one can try using the Boveda paks to bring them all to the same hydration level.

 

[Pankakes]

Made an account here because I recently purchased an E-nano in maple after owning a flowermate. It arrived much quicker than expected. I love this thing. I barely layer the screen with a ridiculously small amount herb and I can get a nice rip off of that with the GonG adapter.

Welcome to the camp.

Not to make assumptions but I would wonder about the cannabis being too dry if folks are combusting at 7.5? Also the units vary, maybe the cord dimmer switches are slightly different. Different outlets I've heard differ too, so a lot of variables. Somebody's 7.5 might be someone else's 8.5.

I never felt like the nano was that difficult to use. Maybe not as easy as the Solo but not that hard either. Practice and find out what works for you. The more you practice the better it will get.

I have some for my stash bags and that is one way to control that variable, which is probably one of the bigger factors.

I think the density of nugs and how they grind differently is also a factor. So far, with the nano, I've just been doing tiny nugs/shake and not grinding at all (actually, when I stir after the first little flavor toke is the grind). As it's supposed to be my quick, go to, VOD unit, I figured that was practical. Going to properly grind and dry some nice fresh buds for the weekend.

Another sign the voltage in my room is low and my nano is running kind of cold is that I wrapped some hash in cotton and tried to see how it'd go with concentrates. I think I went to 9 or 9.5 and got some vapor, but the cotton wasn't saturated like it usually is and I was thinking I'd run it in the AA on red and see if I could get some more cloudage from it... but got too blown and forgot and threw it away or something, IDK

[Spocks_Katra]

another big factor is the grind and your draw speed. I never ever go above 7, I control it with my draw speed based on how fine my grind is

 

[flotntoke]

Some the grind, some the draw speed, some the heat, some the distance from heater. Shouldn't be too hard to get vapor and not combust with any nano within a couple loads. Tweaking is for finding the sweet spot and conservation, IMO.

I'd suggest that anyone new to the nano try to eliminate other variables as much as possible and concentrate on heat setting, load size and distance until they get the hang of it. Use the same grind as much as possible, and try to have your material about the same dryness.

There is some difference from strain to strain, but this is more about the absolute sweet spot too, IME. Different moisture contents, different power sources and different ambient temps have a lot more impact. I store with Boveda 62% and usually put a bit in a piece of folded paper on the cable box for 30 - 45 mins before grinding. No need to grind real fine, just enough for the load be a little fluffy and let some good warm air through.

When trying to find your sweet spot and tweaking, the smallest of loads seem to help the process. Your profile is going to change a bit with every hit on the same load, so better to see what happens on the first and second hit of each, then adjust for the next.

While all nanos are a bit different, I wouldn't say they are like snowflakes. Just shoveling your steps out you're bound to be moving literally billions of snowflakes and all are different. Only Andy knows for sure, but I be surprised if there are more than 1,000 nanos out there. And, by law of averages and all that has been posted here in almost 700 pages I'd guess that some of those act identically to others. Just not enough consistency to have a solid benchmark that can be used by others, and that's before we even get into your personal variables.

I think for many, it seems a little tricky at first. But, that aha! moment doesn't require too much first hand experience.
