Awesome, can't wait to hear your opinion on it.
Wow, Im baked. Please forgive me if this isn't as lucid as can be.
Anyway, the first thing I noticed was HOW SMALL this thing is. Now my other flower vape is a Solo. I was expecting this to be roughly the same size or so but its actually SMALLER (by a decent bit). In fact I dug around the packaging material thinking he didn't put the unit in the box, lol!
Obviously, I eventually found it and immediately plugged her in. Went to set the dial to max for heatup and noticed the dial goes to 11. Now, it will actually only turn to the "10" mark, but Epic Vape put 11 on the dial in what I assume is an homage to this epic movie clip:
This wins all sorts of points in my book, but I digress...
Set the dial to "10" and let it warm up until the wood felt warm to the touch. This took roughly 5 minutes (keep in mind I was also outside). Dialed it back down to 6.5 (what most people suggest you start at), let it cool for a minute and loaded up a stem of some DNA Genetics Tangie flower (for taste purposes, this is the best tasting/smelling bud I've had for a LOOOONG time):
Now I ended up going through 4 stems as to be able to try different techniques. My first stem was a fail because I tried to load it like a Solo stem. Way too much, and too fine a grind. Meh. Anyway, long story short my best results were from tearing a VERY SMALL nug up with my fingernails, dropping it in and hitting it 1 to 2 times @ setting 8. Even with a dry path this was more than tolerable for me (on par with 5 or 6 on a Solo) and resulted in great flavor. It also resulted in a cloud large enough that I could see it in the fading twilight out on my unlit balcony. Impressive.
The extraction process is very fast. With smaller loads you should be able to kill it in 2-3 hits easy, while getting it dark brown. Super efficient and quick sessions if you do it like this. Of course you can take your time and milk it like a Solo at lower power levels I assume.
Oh, and I should note that I bought this used. I have an earlier model and from what I hear the new models have a more pliable power cord. That being said, I don't really have much issue with it. Yes, it could be softer but in all honestly I don't see how this is a problem? Only downside I guess is that the stiffer cord prevents you from wrapping the cord around the unit tightly because the nano has such a small diameter. Its still more than pliable enough to loop and put in the supplied soft bag so meh. Point being, if you get a new one this really REALLY shouldnt be much concern.
Obviously I need to get technique down and I've only used it once. So far I'm impressed though!
