Appreciated:) I might not be explaining myself clearly, but I have to agree with @lwien that my ssv/lsv offer greater airflow and hence larger hits than my logs do. Otoh the logs are more efficient with material, but only because they limit hit size -- which is also possible with the ssv/lsv. Imo/ymmv...

Now this I can get on board with, definetly agree! I also agree very strongly with Stickstones, EDA and rude boys comments as well. LSV is more versatile in the size of the load and better airflow, but a log is certainly capable of satisfying my large appetite and is so much better looking IMHO, you can use them as decoration when not in use as well as aromatherapy. Oh and dyk you can use them with 18650's and take em wherever you want to go!!! Yup that's right, well at least with the UD's and HI's. Got to go feed my pups right now, the pack is growing rapidly!!!

Edit - Yup just hit all three and the Nano and HI have similar airflow ports, and the UD has slits and a slightly larger port followed by the Nano then HI. This info was obtained during my non scientific trip to the vapor bar a second ago. :peace:

Upon further inspection my HI doesn't have a port like the Nano. It must come from underneath or where the SS connects. The holes in the steel at the bottom of my HI must have presented an optical illusion, or I was high, you pick! Also just hit a packed stem and an unpacked stem with all 3 unplugged to get a feel for air w/o heat. My results were the UD and HI seemed very similar with decent airflow with the UD having the most, but nothing like an LSV or SSV, the Nano seemed different very restricted. Probably why it creates the milkiest vapor with flowers, but I have come to find the milky vapor of the Nano doesn't taste as good compared to my UD's.

Where does the air enter the core on a ud, is there a vent? I don't have one anymore.

Yeah there are four slits on the ss stem above a solid retaining plate with a ring (sort of like the lock on a Hammer), then at the top there is another plate but this one is vented with another ring (this plate creates a stop for gongs and stems that fit around the outside of the stem), and the stem sticks out a bit past this vented plate.

I'm learning too, that it's just in comparison to an ssv/lsv that a log seems closed off. I just tried my hs cold with a silicon stem, and there is definitely air flowing through it. Once you put herb in the way it seems more closed off with a log, probably because of the smaller diameter of the hc. More testing!

thank you everyone for the input.


I'm surprised to see how popular the LSV is. I will spend today reading over the LSV thread exploring any accessories. It really is a beautiful vape, especially the purple color, a shorter stem would be necessary for sure.

I'm leaning towards the enano but I am tempted by the LSV's ability to be a huge hitter.

A log has no less through-flow, while the 7th floor products utilize a venturi type of airflow system so the heat comes mixed with air which intensifies convection.

Isn't it similar with the E-nano? I don't know how it's done in the 7th floor products, but there's holes (Air inlets) at the bottom of the ceramic heater tube from which air enters the nano....

I own and love both the LSV and the enano. Below is my opinion of each. Overall they are both great and you can't go wrong with either.

The enano gets most of my use. The size makes it convenient and it is low maintenance. It is extremely efficient and absolutely excels at small loads. It is great to pair with smaller glass water pieces.

The LSV is very efficient itself but is not quite as good as the nano because it doesn't do small loads quite as well. I prefer the vapor quality of this over the nano and it has very little restriction. It is a hard hitter for sure. It can do large loads and is great for groups. Its size makes it a little less convenient.

I would sum it up like this: They are both efficient and hard hitters and can take care of all of your vaping needs. If you value efficiency and the convenient form factor the most, then the enano is your choice. If you place your premium on the hardest hitting with the least air restriction, then get an LSV.

LSV and the Nano are fine vapes and will get you medicated with ease but they approach the goal in slightly different manners. The Nano is my fav with a bong, lightweight cool (mostly) to the touch, acceptable performance and as they say "it just works" which is great at the end of the day when all you want is another nice easy no mus or fuss hit. The LSV is great too it just requires a little more attention to detail. For example I actually cut down on the opening size in the heater cover, partially to correct for an error that occurred when it was blown and afterwards to add a bit more resistance to the draw (easier to read feedback) as well as the usual song and dance with different screens and adapters. Now it works like a champ but I still have to juggle more parts then with the Nano at clean up but it has a slight performance edge. Is either unit leaps and bounds ahead of the other? IMO no they just get to Rome on different roads.

I'm reading that the nano needs a good 15mins heat up time before you can take a good hit, is that true? I know the instructions say 2 mins, right?

how long of a heat up time does the LSV have?

Heatup times should be pretty close IMO (I had the SSV). With the SSV I would usually just set to the temp I wanted, with the nano if I want a fast heat up time just go to the hottest temp for maybe 5 min and then dial it back to what you want. Maybe the nano is slighly longer but if it is, its not a very noticeable difference.

I just got a nano, it uses less product than the Solo and the Solo is a miser with the herb. Mine is a beautiful piece and it looks to be well made with a sturdy electrical cord with a dial for temp control. I'm just so surprised such a small piece of equipment packs such a powerful punch.

I've been enjoying some nice flavor and would recommend one, even though I've just received mine.

FC members get a lifetime warranty, I just found that out. You can't beat a lifetime warranty. There's a 20% off at Epicvape for nanos and accessories until the 21st I think it said. Sale said $149 for a unit. I missed out on the sale but I still got 10% off.

I appreciate the feedback.

I'm just so torn between the two.

The nano seems like the weaker, easier to handle, hippy version of the flashy, extremely powerful, harder to handle, edgy looking LSV. lol

Reading the LSV and nano threads has taken up most of my time today. haha *reaches for crafty*

May I ask how? Would love to know. I tried using a metal shim but could taste the metal when I dry hit.

Hey Tweak
Happened across some high temp o-rings and some even higher temp silicone adhesive which according to the label was supposed to be food safe as well. The o-rings were a wash but the adhesive worked like a champ so we just evened off the edges at the base of the heater tube and ran a small bead around the edge of the actual air opening in the cover. Which let us cut it down by about a quarter of its original size. After that it was a day long room temp curing and a few hours of wide open burn in before actual use. Nothing has smelled funky or discoloured and the adhesive hasn’t shown any signs of degradation after a few months of use. Good Luck
