Thanks....and yeah, I like Ed a lot also....we both waterfowl hunt and have some other interests in common. Ed's a GREAT guy.
I think I will need to order one from him.
Thanks again.

Hey Baron23, my preference is for a movable screen and Ed's are fixed but it works well. So what are you looking for for your friend? If it is break resistance I like using a water tool adapter and a piece of silicone tube stuffed in the end.

I got some screens for a new Arizer Solo stem a while back, and recently used a chopstick to bend it into a basket shape, for use with my nano. I think the mesh is a bit wider than the official nano screens.
They aren't as nicely bent into shape as the one's that came with my nano but they work. I got the screens at a headshop, but I imagine a hardware store would have something like that too.

That's the kind of screens I'm looking for like the one's from PlanetVape.CA on their Arizer PVHS stems.

Hi Howie - thanks for the reply. Yeah, a whip on an Epic GonG should be workable also. Hadn't thought of that...I got all the stuff in hand to make that up for him. Cheers

If you need some fairly non floppy silicone tubing let me know and I will mail you some. Good on you for helping your friend, may your stem never be empty.

Thanks Howie but I have some med silicon tubing I bought to make whips out of before I discovered I'm not really a whip fan! LOL
But thank you so much for your offer. Very, very kind of you.
Problem with my friend is that he smoked pot most of his life but is now 74, on a bunch of meds for the Parkinson's that certainly impact your neurological state, and now he's trying to get back into MJ (after a long hiatus) as insomnia is a common Parkinson's symptom.
But the couple of recent times he has smoked MJ, he got some terrible anxiety attacks...he's an anxious and worrying person by nature but he also has ZERO tolerance anymore. He likes the Enano and is trying to work his way back into MJ slowly so that he can take enough of a dose to help him sleep but avoid the anxiety attacks he has experienced (and that's pretty much strain independent...he wigs out on indica as well as sativa).
We are hoping the Enano, which so well supports "take a hit, set it down for later" approach will help him get back into the swing of things....he really needs just a little bit of tolerance built up and then he will be ok.
But glass is an issue and I think the whip and Gong is a great solution as is Ed's solid stems.
Thanks again.

Thanks @ACE OF VAPE !! That's another very reasonable approach...just put a couple more of the silicone heat shield/protectors on the stem. Easy peasy and keeps the air path glass which I love.
Keep up the good work, I love my Enano and have had nothing but excellent interactions with Epic.

Lets hear it for science, I have always wanted to be a lab rat.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
While I do have some tolerance, I can succumb to anxiety attacks from vaping if not careful. It happens to me every now and then.
A suggestion to your friend is to also vape the indica at a higher temp setting to get more sedative medicine and decrease the racy effects. You may already know this, but I wanted to mention it just in case. I feel for anyone who goes through this.
Also, if you have any control over the growing of his medicine, holding off on harvesting your buds until over 50% of the tric's turn amber is another way to get more sedative medicine.

You know @BabyFacedFinster I too suffer from Anxiety at times.
Not everyday however someday's!
GSC never has given me trouble so that's why I all-way's have some.
Other strains I have to be careful.
Some can consume whatever?
Not me?
Only a few strain's work for me!
Today I will get a mixed OZ 28-30 grams.
My NANO is a great medical device for my situation.
I need to order more GONG's.
I have a program that work's for me!
However no claim here, just what I do.
SATVIA = morning
HYBRID = afternoon
INDICA = night
The strain I use work for my need's.
NANO is simple and TASTE insane (as in good)
Easy to use!
@Baron23 has your friend tried taking cbd oil to help settle anxiety? If not maybe suggest it alongside vaping. It doesnt work for everybody I believe, but is a godsend for some. It may help him acclimate to the cannabis effects more comfortably, and will surely be an extra good thing from a health and medical point of view.
Has to be worth a shot anyway. Best of luck at keeping the horse at the drinking trough long enough to get used to the water. Best wishes to you also!

The right SATIVA (flavor beyond) = DREAM QUEEN is one that work's. JACK FROST as well.
NANO at 6.0 lately?
DREAM QUEEN is full of FLAVOR if that's important? (morning's)
PHANTOM COOKIES is a HYBRID I love (afternoon - 420)
I have some ROMULAN to try before bed. (INDICA)
My NANO has been on 6.0 these daz's?
Next crop higher!

I've been sick with sort of a cold the last few days. Voluntarily abstained from vaping to let the respiratory system recover.
And made AVB-edibles!
I only tried using avb once a few years ago and it wasn't really more than a bit of a buzz. This time I used 3.3 grams of varying colors, from dark brown to still green, spread onto 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Phew.
About 1.5 - 2 hours later I was feeling it come on strong.
I knew I looked disheveled because of being sick but my girlfriend noticed something was up and said I was looking totally baked.
I got a lot of writing done, very fun, lots of laughs haha. And then towards the evening we watched some TV and I got tired around 10pm.
I slept like a hibernating bear, finally the first time since I got sick,and my girlfriend also wasn't woken up, so win/win!
Also, even though I've slept over 10 hours, and it's been 18 hrs since ingestion, I'm still feeling it.. Amazing.
Gonna be a wild day!
Don't underestimate avb ;D

Wow, I normally throw my abv away....

Ohh, I used to as well.
But that was one of the pros that I heard about when new to vaping. There's a lot of things you can do with it!
Since it's already been heated /activated while vaping, you just need to get it in you, haha. Some people put it into gel caps, or you can just eat it on a peanut butter sandwich. Anything with a lot of fat.
But I've been consistently collecting avb from the nano stems, have a little Glas jar full of it.
I used a bit too much this time haha, because in the past the experience was lackluster..
If you were to infuse the abv into coconut oil on a low heat forv2-3 hours, thevstrain into a jar through muslin, im sure you would get a lot more out of it weight by weight.
Even though yes, it has been decarbed, this will still get a much better level of actives available for absorption and you would surprised how small a dose it would take.
3.3 grams of abv made this way- man that would be a MASSIVE dose. I have no doubt personally that cooking it in coconut oil makes it much more effective. Just kerp the heat low and stir every 15-20 mins at least to prevent burning.
I never use water, just straight coconut oil. After you strain through muslin, squeeze out all the oil you can. Clean hands well first, so you can wipe the coconut oil off you fingers from squeezing, into the jar. You will have a load of oil left inside the muslin wrapped herb bundle that cant be pressed out.
What I do is twist the muslin up tight so the herb is neatly contained in a ball (it helps to use a bigger piece of muslin for this, like 8 inches square) then pour boiling water overvit in a cup, just to cover it- useva wide and flat based cup, then press out the oil with a spoon against the side of the cup.
You will see the water turn dark and creamy. You wont need to press itball out for one dose, depending on how much you cook (I usually do at least 8 grams abv into 110 grams coconut oil roughly, so you only need small amounts for a dose, like 2-5 grams of oil), and there are always several very strong doses left in the muslin. Just squeeze out the water each time and it will keep fine in the fridge for at least 2 days.
One other thing that will significantly enhance potency is I always add sunflower lecithin at the start of cooking, it facilitates extraction. For my quantity it is about 2 big teaspoons, but even a little will help.
Anyway, this method will get you so much more out of your abv, in comparison it is a waste to eat it straight.
If you have loads of abv, by all means do a bigger batch. Just think about how much coconut oil you use so you dont need mega sized doses to get stoned. Enjoy whatever you do though!
Please forgive me if this has been discussed before. This is a huge thread to sort through...
I bought my walnut Nano a few years ago from another member and it has been a wonderful reliable standby. But now there seems to be a short in the cord, somewhere around the switch. The light flickers and the heat goes off and on. I don't know electronics so not sure if this is DIY fixable. Since I bought it used, I don't have a warranty. Does
Epic fix this kind of thing for a reasonable service charge?

Doesn't hurt to get in touch with epicvape about it, but I suspect an issue like that in a cord that's a few years old wouldn't be covered. Not sure how easy it would be to fix, but the replacement cords are available for relatively cheap (~$20).
