How about a stainless steel stem? It would have the durability of wood with the ease of cleaning of glass.
for perfomance which one is better for the enano http://www.dhgate.com/product/manuf...ycomb/200522532.html#s1-0-1b;searl|2427744511. OR Percolator http://www.dhgate.com/product/voice-recyclers-honeycomb-filter-14-4-11/389310592.html#s2-19-1b;searl|0642054964
my glass recently broke
Random idea/question, maybe Andy can weigh in...
For the metal "barrel" of the E-Nano: by "barrel", I mean the larger diameter piece of metal (steel or aluminum?) that hugs right up against the wood. Why is this metal? I know it is not in direct contact with the heating element. But as we've all noticed, if you leave your Nano on for say 30 minutes or longer, the whole device itself gets warm. This means some heat produced by the heating element is warming the whole unit itself. So that means there is some inefficiency, as ideally we want all heat to be used for our material. (Granted, in the winter, it will probably be nice for the Nano to double as a hand warmer; but from an engineering perspective, that's not the primary purpose of this device.)
So what if instead that "barrel" was made of ceramic, rather than metal, i.e. insulator of heat, rather than conductor? It might still get warm over time (?), but I'm thinking less metal overall would mean less thermal mass to draw heat away from the heating element. Perhaps the unit would, overall, reach a steady-state sooner? It might also help prevent the wood from cracking: even if the ceramic did get warm, I would think it would happen much more slowly than the metal, which perhaps gives the wood a better chance to adapt slowly.
Thoughts?
Whatever floats your raft!
Personally I would start with a D022 and go from there?
Some like the D020-D (I have a FC 187 similar size)?
Big Bong like mouth-pieces are UNCIVILIZED to me?
Do what works for you?
Were all different!
There is not a right or wrong way.
Just a way!
I think in mathematical terms?
Bubblers = portables
SM - Med = LOG's (NANO)
LARGE = most desktops
VOLUME = RATIO & PROPORTION
The age of the vaporist is also a factor!
@BabyFacedFinster I have a Walnut stock.So true, everyone needs to find their way.
My way is through water. I like my vapor to take a swim first.
I had my nano near 7, but lately have tuned it back down to 6.5. I get more flavor and still nice clouds.
I have a standard walnut model. Just a plain country nano.
Nice. Till it comes I'll be using my bong instead, not sure how well it'll work with the enano as I got it without the enano in mind..
Here's what I'll be on till the bubbler is in

@flotntoke pretty much nailed it. The metal "barrel" preheats the air, before it reaches the heater stem. This is why a conductive material is better. I think this is part of the magic that makes it hard to draw down the heater of a fully warmed nano. You're not just drawing down the heater, you have to draw all of the heat out of the metal barrel too.Random idea/question, maybe Andy can weigh in...

Do you celebrate 420?That will work, but don't know if my old monkey lungs could handle it. Probably would take me 3 draws just to get vapor. Think you'll really enjoy the D020 when it arrives. Hurry up China!
@16jps The sticky brick looks awesome but I think you may prefer the vapcap if you want to avoid glass. A Ti woody is very durable but an omnivape is basically indestructible. For all the reasons you listed and more it will be my next vape purchase
@Radiocitysuicide my friend is gonna bring the old nano over once I get my underdog so I should have some answers about the stems soon
Do you celebrate 420?
How about WAKE & VAKE?
Your comment on "Hurry up China"!
This statement is why we have more than one.
HAWAIIAN SWEET SKUNK + NANO 18mm GonG + HYDRO-STAND + LARGE HYDRO-TUBE + LEVEL 6.0 = WAKE & VAKE = CIVILIZED NANO STYLE
Hey folks,
Got some Chocolope in the nano right now and still in love with my unit 2 weeks in.
The Nano fits perfectly with my home sesh routine but I am now raising my Gaze up to the horizon and want a good portable.
The reason I went with the nano is because it fits my priorities best which are as follows in order of most to least important:
Effectiveness, speed, reliability, efficiency, durability & longevity, aesthetics, price.
I had a solo for a while and it was great but this forum has also opened my eyes to the world of butane powered vaped and I am wondering if they would better fit my priorities. I do like the idea of them as I like to go camping very off the grid.
I am in the process of educating myself about them but it's a lot to take in...so many products.
I will add that I do not vape in public. I want something to bring out on a night out for a pit stop in the park or to a friends place.
For context my gripes about the solo were as follows (minor):
- frigile (I went through so many stems because they shattered when I knocked it over)
-I had to order a battery replacement after a year because it would not hold a charge.
-herb was cooking in between hits (this would force me to consume more than I needed at a given time. This is what I love about the nano, being able to have very small sessions on demand at any time)
Sorry if this is an inappropriate place to make this post but I know the people on this forum better than any other and I value your opinions.
Any suggestions and/or input is greatly appreciated
Edit: I've been curious about the milaana as well.

@CarolKing I sorry in interrupt you!Often while the cannabis is growing it reminds the farmer of something. So then the cannabis gets a name. The Banana Kush cannabis is named for the size of the buds - they are large and shaped like a banana. Some cannabis is named for its smell and taste. PLantinum Girl Scouts Cookies doesn't taste like cookies either, go figure. It's taste like grape or berries.
Too bad we didn't have a nano portable.
honestly I don't think mine would combust even at 7.0 - no matter how long I left it on the heat.So I accidentally combusted in my E-Nano and it tasted and smelled horrible. I was just below 7 on the temp scale, how do I avoid accidentally combusting in the future?
I think that's the first report I've read of combustion below 7. Depending on the outlet your nano is plugged in to, it may run a little hot. I usually kept the dial at 6.5 or below but that varies by strain. And using it with friends can require slightly higher temps. You may have packed it too tightly as well. Don't grind too fine and if you tamp it down, do it lightly.So I accidentally combusted in my E-Nano and it tasted and smelled horrible.

@ataxian - it does vary from one plant to another. I've never had any myself that tasted like cookies.
