So I'm trying out my first nano and comparing it to a carto. I've only vaped on it a few minutes so far. Filling it is such a dream compared to a carto! But it seems like the draw is harder and the vapor production is less. What experience have you nano-users found? Also can you clean them out to try a different flavor?

The nano is ideal for the cigalikes. The vapor and flavor is great but I would let it sit for about 5 minutes after filling a new one for the first time. Also I would refill with the same juice only because it doesn't do well with cleaning. They are basically disposable after a few refills.

To me the nano's are much better than carto's.

I like them. A few tips: after filling, blow on it, and mop up the juice that collects on the contact. I have one dedicated to each flavor, and refill as needed. The only one that got clogged was Madagascar Vanilla. I rehabilitated it by soaking in vodka, washing in running water, fill with water, and blow until it is empty, to clean the wick. Give it another soak in vodka, dry, and she is ready to go. I don't know which part of this ritual are essential, and which are superstitious, but changing flavors is not a problem. How many cleanings it will endure is also a question.

I refill all of mine at a time, so the letting it sit may have something to do with my good luck.

This is interesting... how do you dry them after washing? Any possibility of mold growing while waiting for them to dry or would the vodka prevent this?

I have been using a nano for about a week only when I am home and I like it. I dont plan on cleaninng it but I do switch flavors in the same nano. I have been rotating between SI 555, ry4, and desert joe, they are tobacco flavors so if you want to change flavors in one I would stick with the same flavor profiles. I wouldn't run a tobacco flavor and then put in a watermelon flavor.

Thanks. I will blow on it with the vodka in it to make sure the wick is saturated with alcohol rather than water.

My nose has told me that after such a washing, there is no muddying of flavor. I will research this further, don't worry. Not a wealthy vaper.

I like them. Mostly. The convenience of the small size and the ease of filling is great. Flavor is good all things considered too. I have noticed it takes a little time to break them in at first - then the flavor improves.
My only problem is the ones with the "screw in" mouthpiece create too much vacuum and cause my auto batts to stay on :blink: I mean on. Like holy crap unscrew the darn thing it's friggin hot on :blink:
I've been using Halo's new G6 ones all week though with no vacuum problems. They're the best I've tried so far for flavor and warm vapor :thumb:

I bought 1 nano to try out and so far I like it, it gives very good flavor and good warmth - my experience is with only 1 flavor and that e-juice is thin, I have had no leak issues, the draw is stiffer on mine but I get plenty of vapor with it fulfilling my needs. I actually prefer the stiffer draw instead of the airy draws I get from the other products out there.

My favorite what I call delivery system was the CE3's. The CE3's provide excellent flavor and very good warmth however I have frequent leaks out of the battery end after I refill. If they were more "durable" and more "reliable" then I would stick with them but since that is not the case I am in search of something better.

I have tried the T3 (1) and I did not like it at all, it was very airy and little to no flavor, also leaking issue on both ends of the T3.

I am also trying out the e-smart clearomizer, been using them for the last two days. It is a little airy like the T3 but not as bad and has a lot more flavor present than the T3. I was hoping they would be like the nano's but I am having urges to put these down and go back to the nano or CE3.

So overall I am going to buy 5-10 more nanos to put them through more of a trial wiht different liquids and see how long they last, hopefully they will pass the test.

I am an all VG vaper and I love my nano's. They're the vessel of choice for my 78s - but they do find their way on the big batteries sometimes too. Drawing on them is very different from ciggs though.. slow long sipping works much better than sucking a thick shake hard through a straw. I get mounds of vapor - but again.. all VG is like that. I find better flavor from the nano's than the cartos (which I get extra flavor shots for) and filling is a dream.

Too much alcohol soak. It fall apart. Next time it will be water soak, fill with alcohol once and blow out, then dry.

Since throat hit is nasty for me, filling my mouth by lowering my tongue, then blowing it out the nose pretty well eliminates any complaints about hard draw.

I just bought a 5 pack of nanos for my ego twist and was so disappointed because it was such a hard draw. Well I fixed it by drilling out one of the two air holes in the bottom with a 1/16" drill bit. Amazing difference and now I really like them. I would probably prefer to go one size smaller than 1/16" but that was all I had. Although, if I screw it down a little further on my battery it is pretty much perfect! Lots of vapor and nice easy draw!

I am glad I only bought one. Very airy and there is no flavor at all in any of my juices. Tried it on a cigalike and my X2.

I'm curious to know what you normally use that you are comparing the nano to in regards to taste. I haven't had any problems with tasting the flavor of my juices.
