E-Nano from Epickai

[justvapin]

I apply the Ed's when my Nano is hot, then let it soak overnight and buff it the next day while still warm. I do not think it penetrates the wood very far though. Seems more like it is surface conditioning than anything, and I have my doubts as to whether it will have any effect on the possibility of cracking. However, I don't think it can hurt either, and if it helps even a smidgen it's worth doing. Plus, it always makes it look nice.

 

[greenextinguisher]

You can use beeswax or coconut oil. Maybe some combine the two. I usually use beeswax and then turn the nano on let the wax soak in the wood. Sometime I will apply the beeswax and set my Nanos out in the hot sun for a few hours.

You can get beeswax lip balm so it's easy to find. You can get it off Amazon for pretty cheap for a jar of beeswax.

Here's my two enanos sitting in the sun. That's Eds Bomb Ass Butter in the middle. It's basically beeswax. My cherry unit looks like rainbows and the walnut looks like waves. I usually condition the wood every few months. If yours doesn't crack the first month or two it probably won't crack.

If you really love your nano maybe you should have at least two. Something could happen to one, you need to have a backup.

For $5, Ed's butter seems like a solid choice. It's small and contained and will probably last you until you lose it.

Those two look beautiful, but I think you got a little Bomb Ass Butter on your lens. Were you going for an 80's glam photo shoot kind of look? haha.

Correct, the beeswax, oil or whatever is just for finish. I don't think it penetrates very far, but I'm not cutting or hoping for a crack to find out for sure!

I think beeswax melts to liquid around 140F, but you don't need liquid to apply. Coconut oil turns to liquid long before that. I shave some thin flakes off a hunk of beeswax, put a little coconut oil in the palm of my left hand (tablespoon or so if still solid, a good puddle this time of year). I then drop some of the beeswax shavings into it and simply knead it with fingers of my right hand. It turns into a pretty liquidy mix in about a minute. The beeswax effectively melts to a cream, but mixes pretty well with the oil. Apply this all over a pre-heated nano (I go to 9 or 10 for 1/2 hour). Turn nano off and place on a paper towel or something else to catch drips. Give it at lest 20 minutes up until the next day and buff well. Adds a nice warm finish that is only a little sticky for a day or so.

Keep in mind that new nanos are finished with natural shellac - and this is a pretty hard finish. Until it starts to wear (6 months?), the beeswax, coconut oil, or anything similar isn't going to penetrate too much. You can still do it, but you're really just putting a finish on the shellac finish.

@syrupy 's crack is rare (first ever?) and a little scary. Someone said above that if they're going to crack it will usually be in first 4-6 months. I don't think that's accurate. I haven't plotted data, but IIRC they usually crack in first 6-8 weeks. I think there are a few we've heard of here that waited 2, maybe 3 months, but that has been a long while ago, and I've assumed there have been constant updates to use best raw wood, methods of turning, etc. I've been going on the 6 weeks theory for a couple years, and think this is the first one far out of that to split.

So it is a little surprising, but not shocking. The wood is turned down pretty thin and nanos do seem to get bumped around a bit - I know mine do. That's before we even consider the metal cup in the middle that is probably constantly stressing, then releasing the wood from the inside. Plus, wood is wood and it does things like this in much less "delicate" applications.

Hope Epic hooks him up with a warranty, and assume Andy will. Still sucks for @syrupy , though. I know I have a real love for all my nanos (even the blemished one I picked up along the way), and to have one crack would be heartbreaking. So, hang in there @syrupy !! And, maybe take some solace in the fact that yours is a special case.

I watch a lot of movie's!
My buddies said: "Howard Hughes syndrome" is what I have?

Leonardo in the REVANT (misspelled)

Remember the "GREAT CASBEE"? (misspelled again).

Sorry I had a BASKET of PEOPLES (INDICA HIGH THC)
Then I did a NAIL (QUARTS) of some SHATTER very potent.

The NANO is so POWERFUL! 6:30 was perfect might have too turn it down to 5:45?
I can't handle the heat!

Not to sound pompas!
Been around the planet a few times and CALI is my HOME!

in Hawaii and California - it sounds really great hearing about the surfing days.

Some Banana Kush in the Enano tonight. It was a warm day, finally cooling off.
I really hate to see summer winding down.

Funny I was cleaning my glass for the week in the kitchen sink.
Trying to make it sparkle.
My Daughter with her friend said, "that's my dad" Then she say's, " He's got his med card"!

The kids don't care?

My spelling is so bad tonight!
I have to be careful not to bore anyone?

BANANA KUSH is really awesome!

My SHATTER excess is out of control!
I tried to quit however I think I reached a point of no return!!

Pain? What Pain? SURF BUM? Why did I get older?
You mean this is it?
At least we can medicate, Read, Swim, Exercise, Music (talk story)?

Today I had GAME CHANGER OG during the day 6.4 on the NANO 18mm GonG (lower with PEOPLES)
Pain? What do you mean?

I almost forgot to thank you for the TIP on BILL MAUHER (mis spelled).

One thing you never have to be careful of is boring anyone @ataxian!

I always look forward to your great posts and pictures. Those pictures especially have me wanting to move to sunny California. Do you have any extra space in your backyard for a tent? I'll bring my nano, gongs, and glass!

I promise I will act CIVILIZED.

I have too tone it down a bit.
When I go on a rant my family tells me not to make a list.

COLAS, FLOWER NUGGETS, CONCENTRATES are getting cheaper and cheaper!

Where you are might change?

I'm all set in those departments actually. What I really need is some of that sunshine, and a couple of palm trees in my backyard.

At least I've always got my trusty nano. I don't post as much about it anymore because there only so many ways to say how awesome it is. That doesn't mean I love it any less, and I'm still using it every day. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Hi Everyone,
I purchased a Haze v3 and E-nano this week,
Trying to leave Bongs and Bowls alone (with the exception of using these vapes with my bong)

I used my haze v3 with a diy modification using a 14mm adapter and some foam I cut to fit, the seal is actually air-tight and I notice I can get 4-8 Draws with each chamber

Using the e-nano for the first time dial on 7, I get about one decent hit out of it through the bong using the adapter purchased through e-nano but I notice half the bowl, maybe 25% of isn't burned thoroughly like the other 75%. I've tried putting in less and raising the dial to as high as 9 which does turn the bud a much darker color but even then it doesn't seem to vape evenly like the haze.

I feel maybe this could be due to the attachments feeling slightly wobbly but I figure I'll hold it and twist the e-nano slightly while I'm hitting through the water pipe and even then it just doesn't feel like it vapes evenly, any ideas on what I a doing wrong?

 

[CarolKing]

Welcome @NikeReebok23
Try giving your load a stir about half way through your session. Temp 9 would be too hot. You could combust your cannabis. Try using temps somewhere in between 7 - 7.5 with a water tool or even 6.75.

If you are using your nano dry siomewhere between temp 6 - 7. Have you used the e-pic to measure your load? I usually use my E-nano as a session vape and I give mine a stir half way through my 10 min session.

Did you grind your cannabis? Some folks use small nuggets but I prefer mine ground. Make sure your product is well cured.

I have the Haze V3 too. A nice portable. I do use my nano more.

 

[NikeReebok23]

Measure? I'm confused, I will certainly lower the temp, I raised it as I saw the bowl wasn't vaping evenly.
As you use yours as a session vape, may I as how?
What attachments, water pipes, etc?
Is it necessary to stir?

I'm using a bong so its a lot easier to stir as its upside down already with the screen but was wondering more how you use it

 

[CarolKing]

This is a pic of positioning the screen. Use the opposite side (small end)of the epic for depth finder of how much cannabis from the top. It's a nifty little tool. It works well to give your cannabis a stir.

Dealing with some pain I have some Grape Ape in my Enano tonight. Earlier I had some canna banana bread made with infused cannabis oil. It turned out sooooooo good. Getting ready for bed. The epic makes a nice key chain too, I have a few of the pics.

Grape Ape has the best flavor in my nano.

Here is info regarding the e-pic. I posted this a week or 2 ago. After a while you will measure by feel. The e-pic might come in handy. You can measure screen depth and measure your cannabis amount. A very loose load works best and a slow and easy draw will get you there.

@CarolKing I had to clean this twice?

I had all these nuggets of HAWAIIAN SWEET SKUNK not grinded?
OK GAME CHANGER OG will have to do!

NANO 6.4 (GOLDILOCKS)

420 = CIVILIZED

STILL dirty? PBW, ALCONOX, SIMPLE GREEN, OXYCLEAN = It's expenive however I will try grunge?

I am in Canada and this has happened to me a few times....

I'm tracking the parcel. Scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Next day no attempted delivery. Re check tracking status. Parcel shows refused, unclaimed, returned to sender, whatever. Tracking shows parcel in transit back to originator...

Then the next day or the day after the parcel is magically delivered!!! What happened? In my situation, every time, it has been a scanning error. It was never returned or put on that plane, it was here, somewhere, all along. I've never actually had a parcel lost and they ended up showing up in a day or two every time.

I hope your parcel is just lost between scans and that you receive very soon.

Well it it was confirmed back to me by epic vape customer service that the package did go all the way back to them and they received it...

It's been reshipped, this time with a different address.

Fingers crossed hope it gets here soon

In the meantime I'll order a new glass piece for it, any suggestions? (i know dhgate has a lot of good deals, does anyone have any experience with a specific piece that has been positive?)

Also got my first order of organic outdoor grown material.

I can tell it suffers a little in the potency department (15%) but it does the job well none the less, just needs a little more consumed. It's my first time trying Blue Dream and while most sativa dom's get me anxious...this is far out bro

AND THE FLAVOR..................................omfg cant imagine what it will taste like vaped

Welcome to the wonderful world of nano! Always great to see another nano-er join the club.

I don't want to come off as a dick, but take a look at that past 7-8 pages of this thread. A member named bengaltiger was having the same issues and asked many questions which were answered within the past week or two. And, a few others that popped up as he worked those out. Plenty of other great info and tips throughout the thread. Might be worthwhile to check out the search function at the upper right of every page. You can even click a box to search just in this thread.

 

[whatitdew]

Really really close to finally ordering my first nano but then just now I see Canada post has issued another possible strike within 72 hours. Labour dispute bs. Might email them an see if I can still get free shipping with another carrier. @16jps i hope you get yours alright!

 

[NikeReebok23]

About to scroll to pages 7-8 thanks to flotntoke

Well read from 700 to 707 and didn't really get much :/

I mean some people said don't adjust the screen, others said do, I could just be delirious from working all these nightshifts that information just isn't being absorbed anymore :/

I will continue to experiment,

Before I left for work I was getting one good hit out of the e-nano through the bong at number 8,

Will keep tweaking to get better clouds or that "bingo" hit

Thanks for the thoughts. The unit was sent in a few months ago for an upgrade to the removable cord, but I think it's the same body that was upgraded? The only thing I've been doing differently is using the epic aromatherapy cup. Which seems to concentrate the heat more? Or maybe it was retribution from the vape gods for a three week t-break?

I don't think you did anything wrong, don't beat yourself up. Sometimes these things just happen. I hope Andy takes care of you. At the very least I hope your nano is functional.

 

[justvapin]

You said you had the cord replaced, and the split comes from that same area. I wonder if there is a correlation? Either way, I'd think Epic will resolve that under warranty with no issue. I had one crack (within days of receiving) and the whole return process was painless, and fast.

One hit? WTF!
I get like 6 tasty hits on 6.3 with well cured HAWAIIAN SWEET SKUNK?
I stir half way 3 + 3 = 6

Are we writing about the same thing?

CANNABIS = CIVILIZED

I'm at a lost?

@NikeReebok23 you must have IRON for lungs?

I can hold my breath for only 1 1/2 minutes?
