E-Nano from Epickai

[CarbonFiberGuy]

I'd like to update since my last post . To re-cap I made a post mentioning that my black base was slightly off center with a tiny gap , I was just asking if this was normal? To my surprise Andy responded back within minutes requesting me to send the unit in for adjustment , & also mentioned giving a free stem for my troubles . The issue was so minor I debated on even sending the unit in , especially since I had fallen in love with the unit and did not want to be without it . I finally got around to sending the unit in this Tuesday . Andy realigned the base and had my unit back in my hand with a free stem by this sat , WOW ! I live half way across the country so I really could not be more pleased with the customer service of this company . Since The nano was gone it gave me a chance to get my glass cleaned in my "nano station" for her return . I took a couple pictures of her for you guys in her natural environment as soon as she got home . I got the fiddleback maple wood , I think the horizontal "waves" in the wood and light wood tone really give it a modern look which I like a lot and matches my home décor .


One little mod I did to the aluminum epic stand is add a tool/ accessory holder . I found that a kanger mini protank3 glass sleeve with two #6 o-rings slipped into one of the stands holes provides a very nice looking & functional holder for brush, e-pick , and stir tool . I also have been looking for a more cosmetically appealing heat grip for the stems . The clear cut piece of silicone tube provided is adequate and functions well for its purpose . The problem with using tubing is its next to impossible to get a strait line with it on its cut edges . I tried making my own sleeves using silicone tubing and heat shrink , I taped off strait lines and followed them with a razor blade. These were a little better looking ,but still not very appealing . I finally came across these little silicone rings sold for ego battery's and tanks . The size of these is OD=16mm, ID=13mm, and height 9mm . They fit stems and Gongs perfect , I find that 3 of them stacked works best . They go on easy and come off easy , but have a very secure hold . They feel great in hand , and there machined tapered cut edges provide a very uniform professional looking fit .

I am probably in the OCD anal minority here , but Andy if you see this I wonder how hard it would be to get these made with the EPIC logo on them ? I think it would be cool to buy maybe a 3 ,6 or 9 pack of different colors , and buy multiples to mix and match colors . Maybe the forum could even come up with other nano specific terms to put on the rings . The printing part of it can't be to difficult since my local e-cig store has there shop name printed on these . The printing has also been very strong against iso and other solvents as I have tried to wipe the print of the ones I already have .

Now that I have a nano I am just floored by the craftsmanship , everything is machined and made to such perfect tight standards . The accessory's are no exception either . For $30 my stand is a solid piece of aluminum with flawless rounded machined corners and blemish free anodizing job , If this was a part for my car it would probably be at least $100 . Everything is just high quality from the well thought out e-pick to the nice thick glass pieces , even the dial is perfect with its inside joke . My only complaint with everything so damn perfect is the stock stem sleeves which is just my OCD . I did month's of research before I bought my nano , I could have got anything . For various reasons I picked this over vapes 3 times the cost and I am glad I did ,

Wow , I just went on the the epic site to check things out , and to my surprise I see the new silicone stem guard's !!! I just wanted some printed logos, but damn Epic went all out , heat sinks , glow in the dark , and logo's , I just want to give a big shout out to Andy @ACE OF VAPE for making my OCD dreams finally come true . The old ugly silicone sleeve were my 1 and only complaint of the nano in my review, now it's a A+ ! Even the pic's on the epic site look more upscale with the new stands and sleeves, everything looks so high end now . I will be sure to get a couple packs to re-cover all my stems and gongs in the next order . Thank You for listening to your customers wants and coming out with something even better , you made my night

So sad this vape is not made for EU power suply

 

[Gray Area]

So sad this vape is not made for EU power suply

Quite a few of us (in the EU) just use a 240v to 110v converter with no probs

 

[rosedale]

So sad this vape is not made for EU power suply

I know some of our EU brothers have had success with a step down converter. Otherwise, Homegrown Logs are made in The UK and can handle 240v.

Well there go my glass accessory sales! @Ataxion.
Note: The silicone guards were pulled to cover both ends of the glass so the ends won't chip. The silicone is unaffected by the heat from heater when pulled over the edge of the glass.We dropped the glass onto concrete from a hight of 5' over 10 times with no broken glass. Your results may vary.

 

[CarolKing]

So @ataxian should probably use 2 maybe 3 grips/guards, just in case. I see three were used in the video. Awesome!

What's in your E-nano tonight? I have some nice Trainwreck, It's just right. It's been sitting in the Cvault for a month with the Boveda packs.

Edit
I love most Mendocino purple. It depends on the farmer. Last time I got some it wasn't as the great as the Mendo Purp I've had in the past. I will pick some up the next time I see it.

@CarolKing have you had MENDOCINO PURPLE?

I love this strain.

DEVASTATING is the word to describe the effect?
FLAVOR = OMG !

6,15 is my level in a NANO

Long time solo users... we decided it was time for a plug in that many say compares to it in some ways and improves on it in many...

Read over the first and last bunch of pages, thanks again to this fun place for all the info, tips and tricks! Really looking forward to the e-nano adventure to come... I'm sure I'll have a question or two!

We are low-tempers these days, and enjoy the solo at setting 2 or 3 most times. Sometimes 4 before bed... according to the nano temp chart found, 3 should be a 6 on the nano... I'll start there?

Just wanted to say hello in this thread... as I wait patiently for the nano to arrive... ordered last Thursday and looks like it might be here today, super quick to Canada if so!

 

[Mr.Sifter]

SOLO users here.
i like the nano.
never tried it.
but i like it

like a cable bound wooden SOLO

is it combustion proof ?

 

[GetLeft]

- I'd say that 6 is a good place to start getting a feel for temps.

- Don't own a solo but I own an air which shares some characteristics with the solo. Wouldn't go so far as to equate the solo with the nano. The nano takes first place in that race hands down. Yes, it will combust. The general non-combustion zone is anywhere up to around a temp of 8. Between 6 and 7.5 is safest vaping zone. I keep it at 6.25/6.33.

 

[Mr.Sifter]

what temperatures resemble settings between 6-7.5 ?

what is the nano capable of doing better than the solo?

 

[CarolKing]

The Nano has a stronger heater than the Solo. The heater doesn't have to recover after a draw like the Solo. Both the Solo and the nano take a similar draw where you need a slow steady draw. Both use an all glass air path. There are some similarities. The nano is more of a heavy hitter.

My nano is my home vaporizer and my Solo is my cordless unit that I use the most.

The nano will give you great flavor and it's easy to use and clean. The oven is small so you don't use a ot of cannabis. There are no little parts to worry about. It's pretty basic and simple.

If interested in the nano read through a couple pages. You will see there are a lot of happy owners. Go to the epicvape website and read how the Enano is made. I think you will be impressed. There is a lifetime warranty on the heater and a three year on the unit itself.

That's my Cherry nano. I've had it for over a year so it's gotten darker. Epic has some awesome new silicone guards that you will notice. I need to get some.
We thought the Solo was small.

 

[Mr.Sifter]

can you post a picture of nano standing next to a solo ?

Thanks for the reply, 6 it will be then... very soon now with any luck!

I understand they're different but I'm still hoping my solo experience will be of benefit while riding the nano learning curve, at least the part about having a "feel" for the product, like whether it is really dry (or moist) and nugs vs grinding etc...

In any case, I'm looking forward to another vaping journey with the nano. Based on all the love here I'm confident it'll be a fun ride, thanks again to all for sharing experiences in this thread, I will do the same!

@dxer

Each nano will be different in regards to temperature, it will even differ a little based on what outlet it's plugged into. Here's a rough idea of temp settings:

5: 150-160°C (302-320°F)
5.5: 165-175°C (329-347°F)
6: 180-190°C (356-374°F)
6.5: 195-205°C (383-401°F)
7: 210-220°C (410-428°F)
7.5: 225-235°C (437-455°F)
8: 240-250°C (464-482°F)

These temps are from this post from 2013, it seems like they should be pretty accurate judging by the methodology:

Hello fellow Nano lovers,

I would like to share my experience with the E-Nano. I’m not a native English speaker, please bear with me, I’ll try the best I can. Mods please don’t hesitate to change my grammar and spelling if it’s too bad.

So I had some time with my E-Nano and love it so far. Excellent little device.

I was playing around with temp settings and came up with a way to accurately measure the temperature of the airflow right where it hits the herbal load.

From my work background I have access to some fancy thermo probes and I always test my new vaporizers. I love to play around with these things.

For the Nano I built a little GonG adapter with the thermo probe dead center right where the herbs would be, and a bit of cotton to simulate the load. Cotton lets me simulate loose or dense loads without getting me too medicated over time.

I put that adapter on a big bubbler and my Nano on top, giving it long exaggerated pulls, trying to max out the temp of each setting.
“Maxing out” the temp on a purely convective vape is not easy, as the longer one pulls the higher the temp gets. So I had to settle for a realistic experimental pull that I could reproduce over and over again without fainting.

That said, I really went to town on it, trying to find the hottest temps that could be achieved for each setting. I am a relatively big guy and can draw longer and harder than most people I know, so I would not be surprised if someone else could not reproduce the temps I was able to hit.
Therefore I repeated the experiment with different people, trying to find an average temp that is easy to achieve for most.

The airflow (a direct consequence of the density of the load) has a huge impact on the final readings, as can be expected.

To represent different airflow rates and different users, I collected my data in a temp range for each setting.
The lower end representing a temp that should be easy to reach by anyone, even with a loose load.
The top end representing my top temps that I achieved. I would take those as max temps for each setting.

So here are the numbers:

Setting: Temp Range

5: 150-160°C (302-320°F)
5.5: 165-175°C (329-347°F)
6: 180-190°C (356-374°F)
6.5: 195-205°C (383-401°F)
7: 210-220°C (410-428°F)
7.5: 225-235°C (437-455°F)
8: 240-250°C (464-482°F)

Please note the nice linear pattern, and keep in mind those are average numbers out of many many test runs, different load densities and users.

So in theory, given a nice dense and dry load, exaggerated long steady pulls, one should be able to reach combustion on the 7.5 setting. (and IIRC someone here posted something like this)
I myself never combusted in my Nano so far, but I got very close. Obviously I roasted some of my cotton loads a light brown (something that would probably combust some herbs)
If you don’t pack your loads hard and draw for very long I think even the 8 setting should work, for those complete extractions or those very big hits.

All in all I am very happy with the numbers the Nano produced, how quick and reliable the temp changes where, how quick the loads cool off when you stop pulling, how warm the device gets on the outside, how free the airflow is and even how sleek that thing looks and feels.

Thank you Andy for such a nice little thing, and thanks to all for reading. Comments and questions welcome!

When I looked up Solo temps I found this Reddit post: https://m.reddit.com/r/arizer/comments/ry2ll/arizer_solo_temperature_guide/

Apparently the Solo temps vary depending on model number, so you will have to check that to get the actual temperature of each setting.

Are you positive about the silicon @ACE OF VAPE ? I recently had the silicone sleeve melt to the end of an 18mm gong adapter. I only had it at a 6, too, so it caught me aback. It isn't ruined or anything, I still use it daily, it's just now there's a ring of melted silicone around the end of it.

Hello, long time listener first time caller.. After looking for a good at home vape that was efficient first and foremost, I stumble across the log vapes and the E-nano. Doing some research and it seems like these guys are the way to go. Especially for my style - "the drive by sipper". I like to hit it, put it down and do whatever, come back and take another hit, etc. I've been using the old trusty brass one hitter for decades lol. Say what you will but I just like a buzz and I don't like to waste product. So it's been the best match for me since, well, forever.. When I want to be heavily medicated I pull out the bubbler as I have an O-ring around the brass oney and can get there in no time.

Anyway, knowing my style and knowing that I like vaping, I was out on the hunt. I currently have a PAX which is fine but left much to be desired.. It uses quite a bit of product(for me) and being conduction it also affects efficiency. I also wasn't getting to that "spot" with it. That spot where you say ok, I'm medicated enough I don't need any more. In fact, I found I would go back to the brass to get me up over the top when I wanted it.. So I loved it but after a while I found myself going back to the Brass simply out of my cheepness and innability to be where I wanted with the amount I wanted to get there with..

So that brings me to the logs. Researching it seemed like this was the best match for me. Efficient, I can set it down and come back to it, it can work with glass, etc. So looking around between UD and EV, I went with EV. I liked the simple, elegant design a lot. Much more than the other designs by UD(personal preference here). So I pulled the trigger last Thursday the 19th on the Fiddleback E-nano, extra stem, gong and screens. Ordered Thursday and received the Nano on Monday! I was stoked! Fast fulfillment by Andy! Nice!

I open the box and the first thing I see is a nice hand written thank you note. Nice touch! Not many e-commerce sites do this. Like others have mentioned, I knew the Nano was small, but just wasn't expecting it to be THAT small. Immediately plugged it in, left the screen at the designated E-pic height and filled her up with some well grinded flowers(still used to the pax at this point) and I think I set the heat at 5.5. First hit filled my lungs like a balloon! Barely had the stem around the heater as well. Exhaled and wow that flavor! That buzz!! Bingo! I was smiling ear to ear

After about almost 2 weeks with the Nano and I can say I am in LOVE. I will say I'm still working on getting the consistency of my draws down. I've moved the screen up some but I've found the E-pic height to be the best all around setting. I've also found sometimes I seem to get more draws out of a load than others of the same. Something I just have to play with.. I do like the versatility of it all though.. If I just want to "hit and run" I'll throw a little nug in at stock height, set heat to 5.5 and take draws whenever. Increasing the heat as needed. It works well for when I don't want to go to the moon and just want a buzz. However, when I do want to go to the moon. I find that using medium-fine grind on flowers and filling it with a bit more than a nug's worth, then packing down gives KILLER results. The vapor hits are monster here. This is where I get BINGO consistently. This also works the best on glass for me. Nice milky white draws. So smooth through glass as well.

My wife came home one night that first week and asked me "could you get any higher?" lol. I brought it up to her the other day again and she said "I have never seen you so wrecked". Mission accomplished Andy

@Urungus Thanks for the great post. I just got a nano from classifieds here last month. I am still fine tuning my technique. So far like you I love it. I have a Pax 2 and a Firefly 2, but the power of the nano is insane. Last night I was having problems getting medicated with the FF 2, just wasn't productive enough for me. I think the meds I had were too moist. I usually have to leave it out for an hour or so before I use the herb. Not so for the nano. I just loaded my stem and away I went. Seriously faded a few hits later. Oh what a relief it is!

My next purchase is to get some of the new silicone guard grips, GonG and a nice bubbler from Dhgate. Gonna pull the trigger on those tomorrow. So psyched I got the nano!

Welcome to the nano nation @DarkSm0ke !

I've been enjoying some cherry pie crumble in my E-Nano lately. It's my preferred way to enjoy concentrates, the flavor is out of this world, the hits are enormous, and somehow the nano is even very efficient with concentrates, not just flowers.

Keep your hands warm everybody!

 

[newVaper420]

Ok - so a little back story. I use my Cloud Evo as my main driver. But I bought my E-Nano around the same time, like 4 years ago. Anyhow, I had to buy a new portable because my Pax is not doing so well. He's sick. Doesn't charge right, etc.

Anyhow, I'm back on FC looking around the plug in vapes and not much has changed. Another tid bit, I got one of these for my uncle. He loves it too. That's his only vape. Also, anytime I ever had to do any business with Andy, he's top notch. Amazing.

----

This is where it gets on topic. I decide to pull out my glass stems and my E-Nano and holy shit I am ripped. I tell you, this vape is incredible. I remember why I bought this in the first place. My only complaint is I can't seem to get the airflow with the GonG adapter and my hydratube but with the glass stem I have, holy shit. And it lasts, and is efficient. Wow. Incredible. This thing is amazing. Also, I decided I should hand grind and that seems to work very well instead of using a grinder.

Anyhow, enough rambling, back to vaping.

 

[GetLeft]

I'm not a scientist and I don't have tools to measure my nano temps so for me there's no real way of equating actual temp to dial setting. Discussions here indicate that temps tend to differ from place to place depending on the power source and outside temperature and even the wood used in the vaporizer. I have a maple, and a heat soaked setting of 6 would be around 360˚F I'm guessing (by comparison with my Air temp settings). If we're talking pretty definite combustion at 9 on my maple, an 8 would be around 420˚F. Again, nothing scientific about this just my home made guesstimates.

Since the nano is a plug-in once it's at temp it stays there without too much variation caused by draw speed. So the air path is pretty much wide open as opposed to the Air/Solo models that have deliberately restricted air paths. That makes a good bit of difference right there. Also, since it stays at temp you have an on-demand vaporizer. Use it when you want as often as you want.

Thank you @Vapor_Eyes I appreciate the salutation! I have a couple of questions for the Nano Nation. I feel like I have had my Nano for like 3 weeks, but when I just looked at my calendar (and DOUBLE checked), I have only had it for 8 days! Holy shit, this thing bends time as well as gives out tasty vapor treats. I am going to get a bubbler. @CarolKing mentioned Dhgate in a previous post as a good source. I found this one on their site:[link removed] Will this work okay with the nano? Does anyone have a better suggestion? This will be the first bubbler I have purchased in a very long time. I just want to make sure that is a sufficient size and the GonG from epic will fit. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions

The other question, since @Vapor_Eyes mentioned concentrates, how do you use them in the nano if you use the glass stem only? I saw a thread on reddit that somebody used a very small piece of organic cotton and put the concentrate on the piece and folded the cotton ball around it. I am guessing that the concentrate side would face the screen and not the heater stem from the nano. I have also read here that people just put it on the screen. I would think that the concentrate would drip back onto the heater stem unless you use it upside down. I have some budder that I want to use, and that is some very fragile "flakes". Can someone give me some info on this too? Thanks in advance, I really appreciate all of the help you guys give us noobs!

The Solo and the nano requires the same type of draw - slow and steady will get the job done.

It's true the nano doesn't have as restricted draw as the Solo. If the nano feels like it has a restricted draw that usually means that you have loaded the oven too full or you need to clean the screen. No need to pack the cannabis because you need good air flow. I use a medium grind. My temp is around 6 - 6.5 with flowers. If my cannabis is really dry I may need temp below 6.

I've never combusted but I usually keep my temp below 7.5. I use a higher temp with water tools and concentrates.

I pulled the (NEW) silicone down on my stem and left it on 10 for four days and didn't notice any change to the silicone.

 

[Vapor_Eyes]

@DarkSm0ke

I generally use the organic cotton method. I like temp 7.5 for concentrates. I completely wrap the concentrate in the cotton, use as little cotton as possible, just enough to cover the concentrate. Then I put in my dry stem or gong and hit it once or twice. After that I use the e-pick to flip it around so that beautiful amber spot is facing the heater.

I've used this method with pretty much every type of concentrate and it always works wonderfully.

I also have some S&B concentrate pads a friend gave me, I think they're from a Volcano. I cut a couple pieces small enough to fit in a gong and layered them. You can use higher temps with the steel pads, even up to 10. I'm not a big fan overall, for some reason I just prefer the cotton.

I truly do prefer the E-Nano over anything else for concentrates, even taking dabs from a nice rig. I feel the nano provides better flavor and is more efficient, I get more medicated from the same amount of concentrate.

Thanks @Vapor_Eyes I appreciate your knowledge. I am going to try the cotton method with some Jesus moxie budder I have later tonight .
