How long does it take to ship?

Nadia just posted before my last post. I think she said they were backlogged a week or so. You can call them and ask about there current timeline of the model your looking at.

Use the "fclove" code for free shipping. I'd throw in a 5 pack of basket screens and a gong to match my bubbler, but that's just me :cool: and I don't work for them or nuthin'

I dream of Pizza
And there's an Aromatherapy cup, some essential oils or herbs, and it smells up the whole room real nice. It smells like marzipan bisquits in here!


I just did my first nano dab .


I don't know if I'm doing it right, or the way I've seen. But it's pretty much this :whoa:
So I guess that's the right way!

Got some Orange Juice and will now spend a considerable amount of time looking at used Volvos :lol:

The nano RIPS.

I would probably wait...2 months for one. International shipping is fast, in most cases. And in my (respectably) lazy country, the customs office held the package up longer than it took for it to get across the Globe.

I guess getting a bunch of more Orders is something they call a "good problem"? ;)

Could any longtime Nano veterans answer a couple questions for me?

1. Does choosing one type of wood (maple, cherry, or walnut) over another impact the overall durability of this vape?

2. Under a moderate amount of use, and not running it 24/7, what kind of average lifespan can be expected?

Thanks
I’ve noticed the cherry wood seem to crack more often. I have a cherry that cracked within a few weeks after getting it. I decided to buy a walnut unit too. I didn’t want to be without my Enano while I sent the cherry unit in. I love a cherry Enano even though they occasionally crack.

If you have any trouble with your unit they have a 3 year warranty. Most units if they are going to crack it will usually crack right away.

Your unit should last you a long time. I’ve had mine for three years. I needed to send one back for warranty for the crack and another time a plug in area of my nano that became loose. Both times I received my units back from Epicvape in a two week period of time. I don’t remember the warranty on the heater? Some other vapes have a lifetime warranty on the heater.

I use my Enano a lot of the time. I love the ease of use and the great vapor flavor it produces. You have chosen well buying this log vape. I do love the wood and the thick glass stems. I enjoy a glass airpath. These units are beautiful as well as a really wonderful home vaporizer. Plus affordable.

@CarolKing I think @ACE OF VAPE has really exception CS.

4 da $ = NANO
CIVILIZED = NANO

The learning curve is minimum 4 the NANO.

Is that just your opinion from personal experience or have you noticed a lot of complaints about the cherry?

Just what I have observed on the thread. I’ve heard others say the same.

I wonder why? Cherry is rated as the same hardness as maple. Maybe there was some other defect in the manufacture that had nothing to do with the type of wood itself. (At least that’s what I hope because the cherry appeals to me the most.)

Anyone know the difference in length between the long and regular stems?

Why would there be a defect in manufacturing? Some wood will split t and others don’t.
Some things are beyond control. Not all cherry split. Buy the cherry if thats what you like.
That’s what I would do. I haven’t had any problems with the wood on my second cherry
Nano. I don’t want to frighten folks away from that type wood. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything.

@Sleep
The extra long stem is 57mm/2.25 inches longer than regular. The regular is approximately 6"/150mm long.

My nano is Cherry and it's fine and it is old. Because they are wood, and wood can/does have natural defects that aren't visible on the surface. That's what will cause a Nano to crack, it's not the species and Cherry is no more likely to crack than Walnut or Maple when turned for a Nano. Full stop. Most times the failure will become apparent at the shop, but sometimes that defect will grow and crack as it warms and cools with use. Make sense?

Like I said, I've read the whole thread and I don't remember one species having a higher failure rate over the other two. If that were the case and the failure was measurable and consistent, I doubt that Andy would offer it as a choice. He would certainly know better than we do and wouldn't be a very good businessman, and yet we know he is. You have to realise that what you get when asking questions on a forum, any forum, is anecdotal evidence at best. Basic science, correlation does not equal causation.

Ok, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks for the info on the stem

No worries man, did you get the convertor wall wart ordered?

If you plan to use it dry primarily, do yourself a favour and call EpicVape tomorrow to see if your power cord has shipped yet. If not, add a xl stem to your order - I think everyone who enjoys their Nano dry should have one. Obviously not if you plan on going through a water tool mostly. The regular dry stem is great - very flavourful, but the XL delivers that same flavour a bit cooler. I find it to be easier on the throat; but if I want a big hit, a j-hook or a piece of @ataxian approved glass is what I reach for.

The NANO is on 24/7 so I can MEDICATE to experience CIVILIZATION

WATER PATH with a NANO is CiVILIZED

EPIC 4 those who R not SCARED

BIG CLAIM HUGE
SHERLOCK = JHOOK
INCREASED VOLUME = ASH COLLECTER
JCLIP'S = HUGE LEGOS

GLASS = PLUMBER

Think like a "PIPE FITTER"!

Thanks for reminding me about the convertor, I’m going to contact the company and order this week.

The more figured the wood (more grain, burl, and such) the greater the chance that there will be some fault or void within the wood.

In custom shotgun stock blanks...its not unheard of to buy a VERY high end piece of wood and once it gets cut into to find that it has voids and internal cracks.

Also, curing of the wood has much to do with it.....wood I have bought for shotgun stocks can be as old as a decade and be at about 10% humidity. Too much humidity in wood will contribute to cracking if it dries too fast.

Rock maple is about the best for ensuring no cracking, IMO. Fine and even grain will yield a very robust final product.

I don't know what types of wood they use in shotgun blanks but I had one crack on me. It was a brand new Beretta and the stock split right along a seam in the wood through the grip area. They upgraded me on the warranty exchange. In that situation also, the wood had split only after a few months of ownership.

Damn, all this talk about cracks and i just realized my nano cracked. Very thin crack, but is connects to the cord reciever. So the corner of the plastic square inlet is also cracked because when the wood split it pulled it apart? Pretty much only cosmetic dammage. The crack in the plastic inlet worries me a little bit though.

Usually walnut....almost all stocks are made of walnut of one variety or another. And yeah, in the neck of the stock (in the grip area) is the most common place for a crack. I had this happen to the stock of a $20k dollar custom competition clay target gun (the wood is spectacular....let me see if I have a pic to post). But highly figured wood means higher probability of cracking and I did get a crack right way in the neck area. Very small, caught early, pinned and glued and 18 years later I still can hardly find where it was.

Back to the Enano...wood is wood and sometimes it will have a hidden flaw. Some folks like the flaws and think it adds character others not so much. Its a trade off....most robust wood will have plain straight grain. More figured wood looks good but it more liable to cracking and/or voids.

That is some beautiful wood. Looks like the stock of a trap gun that I've seen in the past.

I gave the nano a good cleaning today. The open metal cavity started getting a little gunky with bits and pieces landing in there all the time. I wet a long Q-tip with some iso and just mopped around down there and got all that crap out. Now it's all happy and ready to go.

Just had a gong of GG#4 a few minutes ago through the clean nano. That GG#4 bud is sooo sticky and produces some serious cloud. My dispensary had this for the first time and I should have bought more of it.

This one is a competition skeet gun. Small differrences between how you would set up a trap vs skeet gun that are probably only of interest to the clay target obsessed! LOL

I still love to use my 'cloud buddy' type carb'd adapter for GonGs with my Enano. With it, I can get my normally very reserved and gentle Enano to kick like a mule. Love it.

It takes a long time for Trees to get to the point where one can utilize their wood, many years. A lot can happen in that time, the Tree might by pure chance have grown in soil that had a very rocky patch underneath it, causing it to get less water than the tree next to it, maybe just getting less nutrients or having slightly worse growing conditions due to more wind, wildlife damage..

All these things might not even be obvious to whoever cuts the wood, and for a chair or Table, it might not make a difference, but for the nano, I can see how it potentially could make it more prone to crack.
That's wood for ya!


I've tried to get some nice dabs with my nano but it's my first time and I usually end up with my fingers (and tools etc) all sticky, not really great.

I've been using some organic q-tips for my cotton, unbleached etc. I put that into a U-shaped steel screen, and dropped that into the nano, but I've gotten mixed results. Running the nano at 7.
Maybe I need to warm up the concentrate first somehow? It seems to almost turn liquious, if I leave it in the little silicone storage thing it looks like an oil slick.

We just get stuff like that very very rarely here (at least I do), so I don't know if I wanna invest in all the tools, torch, nails etc. Not quite sure how to go about it.
I also think it's hash oil, not "regular" dabs. See how noobish I am? :)

I also saw there are wax atomizers for regular 510 threaded ecigs, hmm..

Oh well, it's been a great year with my nano. Lately we've been getting into low temps outdoors, so I noticed I heat it up about half a temp setting.

See ya later!

Hmm, somehow I think my fc notification emails stop coming through. I don't always open them so I guess they go into the spam eventually, automatically. Damn you AI :borg:! Nah, just kidding! I love our Robotic overlords, cospecies! Anyway...I missed about an entire page of shotgun talk :)

I got a few tools and a ceramic "nail" today, to see what it's like. Very cool.

I am wondering if I could get a ceramic or other nail that would fit onto the e-nano, so you could leave it on top of the nano set to 10 for 2-3 minutes, then with tongues or something place it into the bubbler and dab from it.
edit: @ACE OF VAPE / @nadia_epic (or anyone in the know), is there any data on how hot the area just above the heater is, if the nano is all the way up to 11? I was thinking I could tilt the ceramic nail and the nano so that it heats it up, rotating it. But I don't know how long I'd have to heat it. I think ceramic would take long to get up to a dabbing temp.

Oh well it's not important, I am already very baked and it's becoming harder to type ;) and I will try it soon-ish.

I feel like in my teen years :rofl:

here, for you guys:
