I don't have the aromatherapy cup but I know some people like to add plain beeswax to their essential oils. Once it melts and then cools back down there is no risk of spilling since the wax solidifies again.how do you all use your aromatop?
I just put straight essential oils with no water. Do you all add water? seems like I just get more sizzle than increased vapor with added water and easier to spill
I had the pleasure of meeting Andy at the Champs show this week. He's a very cool dude. I couldn't resist and picked up a sweet piece for a bargain price. Thanks Andy!
I love the sound of that but the number of times I have spilled straight essential oils makes we way too skittish to put beeswax. Essential oil will evaporate off spilled on the enano but beeswax sounds like a time consuming disaster. I even think patchouli or something thick and pungent like that might need a long long burnoff. I wonder if it isn't so much of a problem though?I don't have the aromatherapy cup but I know some people like to add plain beeswax to their essential oils.

@dgmulf Has a dial for temp and you can get a gong to whip adapter and have the length and temp you prefer.
Sweet, I had no idea you could use a whip! I'm so glad this forum is friendly to noobs like me, haha. I'm officially sold on the E-nano, I'm ordering one tonight. Now do I splurge on a premium finish, or not? Hmm...
Get the premium finish, you will be giving your E-Nano loving glances for a long time so spend a little extra now.Sweet, I had no idea you could use a whip!

Another option is one of the these.

Very basic, small bubbler but I find it so compact and easy to use with my nano. You can also check out the "cheap glass bubbler" thread for some great options for some larger bubblers.
If you want to cool the vapor and stay dry you might want to look into a cheap j-hook and a matching 14mm or 18mm GonG.
I forgot how enjoyable the Nano is around level 6.0-6.2, if you have like medium to dry material, I think this temp is where the Nano really shines. The flavor is incredible and vapor is thick and rich without being too hot, perfect to start your day with, no burnout feeling, plus if you trying to for stealth there's very little smell with these lower temps.
Yeah I pretty always reuse the abv from low temp sessions, I usually mix it in with a bowl of fresh stuff and toss into my CF or Air to finish. I also notice the buzz even on level 6.0 is stronger than the majority of vapes at those temps, which is why i pretty only use the Nano if i'm going for a lighter buzz, seems like a waste of material with other vaporizers that mostly specialize with high temps to work consistently.
I will make some fixed glass screens with a deeper bowl to see what the demand is for them. I will post here when they are available on the website which should be later this week.
That's actually not an LED, it's a neon bulb. I don't want to come off as too pedantic, but that's exactly the type of small detail that Andy considered when designing the E-Nano.The subtle LED light is a nice touch. I was worried it would be one of those glaring bright blue LEDs that all the chinese gadgets use but it is a dim purple-blue light that respects our sensitivities in the late hours. I love it how it dims or brightens as you turn the heat dial.
I'm going to add: if you are a cannabis smoker, you need to stop the combusting or you will not feel the whole high from your vapor. There's threads that dedicate themselves to explaining that in particular. A very good read.
First of all, welcome to FC! This is definitely the place to be if you are trying to make the switch to vaporizing -- lots of knowledge here, and friendly people who can offer suggestions and encouragement. Congrats on making the switch to vaping -- it's one of the best things you can do for your health, and if you stick with it you'll find it can be very rewarding in many other ways as well.
The transition from smoking to vaporizing can be a rough one for some people. It's all about retraining your brain. Right now, your brain is wired to "get off" to combustion. With vaporizing, your brain recognizes there's something missing (namely, the asphyxiants and other bad chemicals like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and so it has a hard time "getting off". All because it's been trained for years to think that those asphyxiants and other bad things are part of the high, when in fact they aren't doing anything but depriving your brain of oxygen (and doing other bad things to your health as well). This is all exacerbated by the fact that you mixed tobacco in with your joints, so your brain is missing that nicotine buzz as well (which, combined with combustion asphyxiants, likely caused that "headrush and instant relief" that you miss).
My suggestions would be to, one, stick with vaporizing only for a while. If you "cheat" and light up before you completely make the transition to vapor, it will just make it more difficult to rewire your brain to get off to vaping. Maybe even take a break from consuming MJ at all for a few days, before continuing with vaping only (if you can take a break, that is. Some folks can't, for medical reasons or otherwise). It would likely make the transition process easier.
My second bit of advice would be to use high temperatures. I'd recommend it to anyone trying to transition from smoke to vapor, but especially to you since you're using it to help you fall asleep. In general, the higher the temperature, the more sedative the experience. Also, indica strains will provide a more sedative, couch-lock kind of high as well, which would help you to get to sleep.
Hey folks. Just dropping in to report that my e-nano is still going strong, and it sees a lot of use. It's nearly perfect, including how it looks on our coffee table in our living room... The subtle LED light is a nice touch. I was worried it would be one of those glaring bright blue LEDs that all the chinese gadgets use but it is a dim purple-blue light that respects our sensitivities in the late hours. I love it how it dims or brightens as you turn the heat dial.
Here are some suggestions on improvements I'd like to see fo the next generation:
-The e-nano gets quite hot and can be uncomfortable to hold unless you hold it around the bottom end. I run it at around 5.6 as I use almost exclusively herb. I have the cherry wood version. A thicker log maybe could fix this and also make the e-nano more stable when putting down on a table without the base ... Otherwise, cooling fins around the inside of the steel jacket ?
-A deeper version of the fixed glass screen would be good. I know from using the adjustable screen stem that the e-nano can easily deal with twice the amount that the current fixed screen stem holds. The glass screen is way preferable for me otherwise, as it is much easier to keep free of blockage.
-Some upgrades to the cable would be great:
-braided flexible cord (with the same generous length) to prevent twisting and for a better look and feel
-a dial with stiff, notched clicky action or a way to lock the dial at your desired setting. As it is, it is easily turned accidentally when moving the e-nano around, occasionally resulting in horrible combustion.
Finally, a 220v version of the cable would make all of us in other parts of the globe happy. The e-nano is small enough to take to a friend's house for a session and having to carry the 220v transformer is a put-off.
Yes please! Darn I wish I had waited, got one recently shipped over to UK and it's a little shallow for me. Otherwise, the glass screen is the way to go.
Cleaning the fixed glass screen stem: I use a length of stiff, thick steel wire which has had one end twisted into a hook using pliers. I use this tool with a small ball of steel wool and some alcohol to scrape clean the inside of the stem. Any blockages of the screen can be easily cleared with a pin or other pointy thing.
