While waiting for the Nomad 2s to arrive with their new owners...

Happy to announce that Nomad OG #014 has landed in his new home. He's found some friends there and will be very pampered.

It's made of walnut and padouk, with an abalone button. It has a milk-painted pouch.

Nomad #014

Thanks to @Razhumikin and @Shit Snacks for taking care of him. I'm happy to be part of his story too!

It received the free care package offered when we arrived at my house.


Then it was reunited with his big brother, from the same lot.

I wasn't expecting it for another week, so I don't even have batts charged. Gonna fix that right now.

I'll take a family photo and post it later as well.

Wow! That was worth the wait! As much as I'm a fan of the OG Nomads, I just love how the Nomad IIs showcase the wood they're made of.

Also interesting that these Nomads are not shipping out in numerical order as I initially thought.

It's Walnut but I forget what the lighter wood is. It might be Canary, but it's been a minute since I made the decision so I'm not sure.:shrug:@fangorn can probably tell us. :D

Here's a family pic:

Wow, Stu!
Awesome Nomad!
And incredible family photo...

Your new companion is magnificent. He looks so smooth and soft...

And I really like your Nomad OG. The combinations are very harmonious.

In short, great family photo!
It makes me realize how much time has passed between your Okin and your Nomad 2...it's incredible!
This is the first complete family photo I've seen...without buying secondhand, I mean. Bravo, that represents a lot of time, patience, and love.
Thanks for sharing!

And for the wood type...
I wish I were an expert, but I usually cheat... I found the information on this thread...but no clues from Stu or Dan this time.

So I'm going to vote like Shit Snacks...
With the Toad pearwood next to it...the lower plates really look similar...

So I'm voting for the pearwood.

Thanks again for sharing 😍😍😍
Enjoy!

Just checked, it’s cherry, (Dan listed all the woods when he shared the photos, I’m not incredible at identifying the wood like others here) :)

Yesterday, I came back from a metal concert. I settled in comfortably to enjoy my Nomad 2.
I had a nice session. I wasn't too attentive but it lacked a bit of power. I had to insist a bit to get satisfaction. In the end, it wasn't so bad
I let less than 10 minutes go by and I recharged a stem. No result. The radiator didn't even activate. I checked everything a bit.
And then the radiator was stuck. Impossible to get it out. I could have had trouble removing it before, but now it became impossible.

My previous stem must have been effective because what follows is the very brief account of one of the rare moments when I completely put my brain on the table.

As it was totally blocked by the "normal" side, I decided to push the grids with a metal rod and push the radiator with the flat end of a brush.
but of course, I destroyed the radiator doing that... it was obvious that I could do better... but I had to "free" my Nomad immediately...

my tools are 5 meters from where I was... but... my brain was no longer there...!

anyway... I was talking to Dan recently about an add-on order... so I'm good to add a heater!

but then, it's strange how everything was working... and 5 minutes later, nothing was working anymore!
my hypothesis is that the heat from the previous session caused a tiny variation in the dryness and shape of the wood... which caused the electrical circuit to break in one place...
this hypothesis is reinforced by the fact that the radiator was completely blocked after...

anyway... I'm just sharing one of my rare problems with the Nomad...

i think i'll sand down a bit all the parts where the batteries and heaters are inserted...
it's a lot of work, but at least my mind will be at peace after that!

Here are a picture or three of the damaged radiator...
i might make a keychain or a pendant out of it, like the bullets on a chain. just kidding! no pendant... but i'll try to recycle it somehow!




More cool pics coming soon!
Happy vaping everyone!

I've gone 3 months without using my Nomad 2 since I stupidly broke a heater...

Dan immediately replied how I could fix the problem, or that he could take care of it for me.

Previously, I had sanded other models to enlarge the battery compartments, or the heater compartment, with more or less satisfactory results.
In his email, Dan specified using 400x sandpaper.
I used this exact sandpaper, and it was so easy to enlarge...
Thanks @Dan Morrison

I took the opportunity to enlarge several compartments on my vaporizers... for the battery, or for the heaters.

It took me much less than an hour, and it's going to be more comfortable on a daily basis!
Time well spent!

Especially since it's a joy to have my Nomad 2 #32 back after 3 months!!
I love it even more!

I can't wait to see what the next lucky ones think!


And you @Stu ?
How are you experiencing these first few days with your new companion?

Cheers
✌️💚

Has anyone else gotten a shipping notice?

I'm definitely curious which ones got shipped out already. So far, I only know of #73.

Still no news for #53, so they are not going out in order from what I can tell.

Definitely not in order, I’m #42 in batch 2. Of course there are probably non-FC orders going out, but it’s weird that only one unit from here has shipped. Usually a number of people would have announced their shipping notification.
 
jbm,

I bought batteries for #53 3 years ago when we thought the finish line was close, they've since been used in other vapes and don't hold that much of a charge anymore. I will need to source some new batteries again, since this vape deserves nothing less than the best.
