The Nano

[dennis_j]

THE NANO not as good or long lasting as the CE3 , but easer to fill, only +,took apart can't rebuild ,like
CE3 for this ,also the nano has fiber filler around the coil,reason for bad flavor to begin with IMO,also very small coil easley to burn out with higer vv, they are made for 3.7 volts batterys such as the egos and go go's,do not last long on vv,reather have vision nivi nova even for the extra cost, of course this is IMO only, me wife like them so thats that the last word...........

Well, if your wife likes them then there isn't much you can do

That photo just makes him look like a giant. He's on his hind legs and looking over the fence which the horse can't do

The horse is a bit larger than the goat in that the horse weighs about 200 pounds and we are guessing that Obie weighs near what I weigh or 150 or 160 pounds.

I ordered one of these when the CE3s were behaving badly; went through two whole packs of five in a week. Major leaking, burnt juice, etc. And the T3s were still "coming soon."

So I ordered one nano and was totally disappointed. Super tight draw, very very muted flavor, very little vapor. But no leaks. Tried it on a regular little Volt auto and an X2, auto and manual. So either this is just how they are and they're not for me, or I got a lemon. I'm thinking of ordering a few more. I'm totally in love with the T3s but I really liked the CE3s too and was hoping the nano would be a good replacement until they get the CE3s all sorted out.

If anyone can point me to a 510/eGo style equivalent, that would be cool too. In the wait for SI's own T3, I went ahead and got a few eGo Twist-style variable voltage batts and 510-threaded T3s. Loving SI's T3s too!

I haven't had the chance to read the entire thread. But what's the word on cleaning the nanos? Can it be done without breaking it, and what are the best cleaning methods?

 

[awsum140]

I would say cleaning a Nano really effectively, especially in anything resembling a reasonable amount of time, is not really possible. The larger section of the air tube at the base actually contains filler like a carto. There is no way to take one apart for cleaning without destroying it. Some people have said they have cleaned them by flushing with water and letting them dry. Exactly how effective that really is and long it takes to dry, since it's kind of a sealed unit other than the air tube, wick holes and air hole at the base, is an open question but it is probably not very effective and drying will take time on the order of multiple days. Think about trying to clean a sealed carto that you can't spin to get the water out of.

Basically, the Nano is designed as a throwaway rather than a cleanable, reusable, device.

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it. Your results and mileage may vary. No warranty or guarantee is expressed or implied. Use at your own risk.

I'll have to second that. I have hot water rinsed some of mine and let them dry a LONG time and they're just not the same - only got one leak after the process though - hubby's nano did a bit of leaking but I'm still not convinced that it was not user error there (he really doesn't get tops back on in a timely fashion)
After the bath - they just don't seem to get the same draw as before. For their price.. fill and refill until they gunk up and call it a day.

 

[WorksForMe]

I haven’t had one on these since SI got the first batch, but I’m looking for something other than cartos to recommend to newbies. I think I’m going to get a couple with my next SI order just to try out.

Got my four in yesterday....excited
Threw #1 away after, horrible burnt taste, 2 refills, no flavor....worried
Just filled #2 letting it soak an hour

 

[opal]

I've never had to let them soak when I fill them. I just cover the bottom with my finger and give a few quick hard draws until I can sorta taste juice then hook em up and vape.

Once they get singed tho.. I imagine the burnt taste is there to stay since there is a filler involved. I am currently vaping on a nano that's been in part time service since October.. never washed.. just refill and go.

 

[Holdol]

Thanks Opal....tried the quick puffs....nearly soaked up half the juice....leak
No flavor
Refilling

 

[Holdol]

trashed...oh well $12.00....movin' on

 

[awsum140]

Sorry to hear they didn't work for you, Holdol. I had similar problems, but others love them. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

[Renolizzie]

What is odd is that they work for some and not for others. I actually like them although I did get one dud along the way and had to throw it out. Sorry they haven't worked out for you, Hodol.

I've cleaned one or two of mine and simply flicked the water out. I filled it before trying to dry and the liquid tasted just fine. I broke one out of stupidity and had one fall apart where the plastic meets the metal. I epoxied it to the metal and haven't tried filling it yet, but it looks like it will work.

I am one of those who really like the nanos, but have had bad experiences with the CE3s. QC seems to be the deciding factor all around on these types of things.

Still using my first two T3s with great satisfaction and lowest maintenance.

[Edit] fixed typo

 

[Holdol]

Thanks guys, I still have two left..we'll see. Would that have been primer I dealt with?
I like the CE3 although inconsistant....the search continues

 

[awsum140]

The primer, I think, is supposed to be PG, but I suspect it may be ethelyene glycol or motor oil from the flavor I got!

 

[Holdol]

So there is "primer" in these....pretty nasty!!! Horrid
#2 sat over the weekend, I topped off, a little better actually.
Now I'm having X2 battery issues, off to that thread.

Sometimes, no matter what you do, vaping can be a pain in the ..... Just sit back relax a moment, get a fresh battery and delivery system and enjoy. The big trick is backups for backups of your backups.
