@Drummerskey - Sorry you're experincing the same problem I had, but it's nice to know I'm not alone with the Nano (Nono).

It's just my luck that I get a bad one; I get bad everything. It is getting a bit better as I go and I am sure that someone is going to devise the best way to get these to work..........but soaking it for a half hour wasnt long enough OR they are just going to suck with the first use.

I wanted to update on my leaker. I did refill it yesterday afternoon after letting it dry since the night before. It still leaks! Right now I think the problem is that it has a hairline crack in the tube. I'm going to take it to work where I have a amgnifying glass this evening and see if I can verify that. (My eyes aren't the best without help). If so, I don't know how I cracked it. Maybe rattling around in the case with my other PV's. My ssecond and third nanos are doing great other than the third one having a funky taste with my favorite juice.

I was able to find the hairline cracks in the CE's by holding them up to the light, sideways, and rotating them. The cracks would reflect the light differently than the rest of the tube.

EDIT: empty tubes BTW.:oops:

I know that there are multiple threads running on the whole "Nano" subject but what does everyone think about having a running list of who has them, what their issues are out of how many they bought? I would be pretty interested to get a tally of how many purchased, how many are satisfied and how many are having issues and what issue specifically.........................maybe even a comparison to the CE3.

It would help me personally to know if I am having issues and that is the minority or the majority.

I like this idea a lot and vote we use this thread.

I have seen other forums that have had a polling feature. This is what we need here. Perhaps a moderator will see this and create a poll with the various issues that people could vote on. Otherwise we will have to jump between the threads dealing with this for ourselves.

you beat me to the punch,i see you started it already.

Great minds think alike.:pervy::pervy:

EDIT: Not me, drummerskey, but that is not a "poll". I was thinking of a single post that allowed voting and gave results.

What drummerskey has started is a thread with unlimited individual posts. Granted, he has asked for 3 things but I'd be willing to bet it will grow and there WILL BE opinions, not just issues. Yet another thread to reference. Better than nothing if we can at least get everything in one place at least!

EDIT #2 I see you were not responding to me, but drummerskey.

I am an idiot............especially with forums. I thought that it would be helpful the way it is but I would glady delete it and use someone elses. I just thought with 4 running threads that it needed to be separate. I keep having to bounce between 4 threads to get people's take.

For the most part, I am just curious about a yes or no and if I am one of the few or many that are having issues.

Not at all. I will get back if I can find a way to create a poll. Your idea is valid!:2cool:

Well I got my Nanos this morning, thanks to running into my Mail Lady at the country store at 5am while out picking up cream for my coffee. Anyway she made a special trip to my house at 8:30 with my Vape mail in hand and I ripped it open and filled both up. Paying attention to posts on one of the three threads with Nano reviews I quickly put the tips back on as fast as my old hands will move this early in the morning and they both leaked like a sieve. I put SI Joe in one and a 50/50 DIY Coffee in the other. I left them sitting on a paper towel for about 15 minutes and they both leaked all the way down to the holes that go to the wick/coil and stopped. I decided to fill them again and they didn't leak a drop??? I wiped them off and checked for leaks and fond both to be dry. Just to be sure I didn't get a mouthful of juice I gently ran a pipe cleaner up from the bottom and down from the tip and both were flooded big time but not leaking anymore. I put one on a X2 auto and the other on a X2 Manual. Both worked great after a few puffs and I didn't notice any real difference in taste compared to my clearos filled with the same juices. I have vaped the coffee one down to the holes and am working on the Joe as I type. I have no Idea why they leaked and even less why they stopped but they produce good vapor and have an easy draw so I consider them keepers but I won't be ditching my clearos at least until the T-3s are out and depending on how they preform. Since these seem to be prone to leaking I wouldn't recommend them to a beginner because it's a lot to deal with if you don't have pipe cleaners, tissues and patience. I just hope the T-3s are the answer because I love the Clearos but if they are going to be discontinued I might have to look at using an adapter with some 510 tanks. I'll let you know how it goes when I refill them...


UPDATE: I was out on the Bike all day so not wanting to take any chances I left both Nanos sitting on a paper towel and they didn't leak another drop. I vaped the 50/50 coffee and refilled it and so far no leaks. I will finish off the other one with the 80/20 Joe and refill it later but it would appear they only leak when they are dry/new, who knows. I'm quite happy with the way they Vape but they just don't hold enough for me and filling up a tank while out riding my motorcycle is a PITA. I will continue to use them at home until they need a cleaning and we will see how it goes from there. I think they are a big improvement over the Ce3 but I can't wait for the T-3 to be available.

I am not voting just yet......I dont think that 5 hours with it is enough to form an opinion or give a final vote. It wouldnt be fair to people who use it to make a decision or to SI. If the thread is still going, I will vote tomorrow.

What I do know is that I got pretty much to the bottom and this just tastes nasty..........I am going to give it a wash and try a juice that I have tried before and match that up with a CE3 for comparison. I would open another one to try that and see if this one is just bad but I am thinking about sending back what is unopened if this is what it will be like. I can't place the taste but it is somewhere between burnt, metallic and poo.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to be the "bad huy" and suggest it. Guess I'm a woos.

Yeah, I would be interested to hear if they leak when you refill again. I need to put pipe cleaners on my shopping list.

I haven't had any trouble with my Nano but I still have 4 in the packages. I have a bunch of flavors going now in clearos, CE3's and cartos already. I am saving filling the rest of my Nanos until I am ready to stock up for the vacation.
Wouldn't you wanna make sure they're working, prepped/primed/broken in and ready to go? I'd hate to find that stuff out away from home...
If you test them and not use them, you won't crud up the coil, and PG takes forever to evaporate.
