Should I choose the E-Nano or the SSV?

The Nano comes with the adjustabowl stem in the box. Trust me - buy a GonG - you won't regret it! Most Nano users prefer vaping through a bubbler - hell, I rarely use my nano dry!

Also don't forget you can customize your Nano with some exotic glass stems from @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd - I've got 3 new custom pieces in my mailbox right now, can't wait to get home and check them out!

I would get 2 adjust-a-bowl draw stems and a adjust-a-bowl gong, of your size. You will definitely want the gong if you can swing it why wait? The enano is made for water pieces.

You may also want to get a pack of screens.

Good luck pal

I don't own a bong yet so I don't know if I will find a cheap one that fits exactly with the GonG size. Plus, I have seen cheaper GonG's here in Europe.

Why 2 adjust-a-bowl draw stems?

Thanks for your help!

I'm confused In the product description it says:
1-Standard glass wand with stainless steel basket screen

Is that the same as the adjustabowl stem?

You have seen cheaper gongs for the enano in europe? If so save some money.

The reason for 2 draw stems is you can use a clean one while the other is dirty or cleaning. It keeps things rolling along.

My bad, I thought you can use any gong, not only those specifically made for the Nano.

You need a gong specifically for the enano.

In that case, I'll follow your advice guys and get the 14mm gong I hope I find a minibong that fits (I will buy it here to avoid all the shipping costs lol)

 

[VaPeD&CoNfUsEd]

14 and 18 mm pieces are industry standard. If you get a 14 or 18 mm bubbler any 14 or 18 mm gongs will fit. So long as you order one appropriate to your bubbler that is.

But it needs to be a gong specifically made for the Enano as @steama said, doesn't it?

Yes

I have used the stock stem maybe a couple times. IMO a gong is much more worth it than a stem.

I have a custom stem on the way from
@VaPeD&CoNfUsEd which I will use very often when I get it but I will still use a gong more.

if you get a new nano it will come with a stem so don't bother getting extras IMO unless you want multiples for whatever reason.

You mean you use the Nano through a water pipe using a gong to connect both?

...whatever reason? Let's say you live in Europe and you break your ONLY glass enano stem. What then?

That's fair but I don't think for the majority of new Nano users that having multiple stems is necessary. They're quite heavy and thick and could withstand even more than a Solo stem it would seem. And I have dropped the solo stem out of a moving vehicle onto asphalt and gone back to get it, not even a chip. So i'm not worried about a break personally.

i use the nano through a water pipe using a gong to connect them 99% of the time @Brachmanhuxley , the one time i have used the dry stem i did about 15 loads in a row out of it.

also, if you were in Europe and buying a nano, i would probably save some of that money and put it towards the step up transformer you'd need unless Epic introduces a 220V model, which i wouldn't count on. and the shipping from the usa would be steep to begin with so i'd assume you'd load up on all the accessories you might want and could afford.

IMO if i bought a new nano i would get the nano, an adjust a bowl gong since it comes with the stem, some stickers, and if you need more than one stem or gong then holler at @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd for his services.

Ok, thanks a lot for your advice. I'll check out @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd work

It seems like most of you use the Nano through a water pipe. Does that mean it's not so nice to use it dry or is it just because of personal preference?

Actually the nano is quite popular dry as well - because it's extremely smooth even at higher temperatures. I personally never used it dry because I prefer to keep ABV dust from falling onto the heater by keeping my nano upside down when in use. But now that I have an awesome steamroller by @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd I'm able to enjoy my Nano dry - and it's fucking amazing!

Though I still enjoy water filtration because I've been spoiled with all my cheap glass. The Nano is also popular with water because it's a perfect match - the Nano is small enough to comfortable fit on a bubbler.

I always turn mine up, and mostly use it dry. It doesn't have to be completely upside down, and once you get into the habit, keeping it tilted bottom end up is pretty easy.

Does that mean it's not so nice to use it dry or is it just because of personal preference?

Well you don't want to hit it as hard dry, as you would with water filtration, but the best taste comes with a dry hit. Using with glass lets you get a bigger hit while still keeping it smooth.

I've only ever used mine dry since I've had it - I love the taste, and it's definitely not too harsh heat-wise for me. I am considering buying a water piece to use with it though - out of curiosity, more than anything else.
