Are those dark stem collars cocobolo or African Blackwood? Or am I wrong completely?
Might benefit from naming what all the wood pieces are in future photo dumps. Good knowledge for wood enthusiasts and people planing / getting ideas for future Nomads.
Might be to much work but I thought it was a good idea.

Gorgeous, congrat's. I love the contrast between the tamarind parts and the body. The black streaks of the spalting tie it all together superbly.
My OG Nomad is just now starting to show some noticable patination on the bronze parts. It's got a slightly rose-gold sort of hue to it which I really like.
I really adore my OG, but the MK II design is just superb, I use mine without the sleeve, almost exclusively, and as much as I love my sleeve, and all the others too, I think Dan made the right choice to make the MKII unsleeved as the wood just feels great in the hand.
I had to step off the MKII list some time ago, but the recent pic's are just goading me SOOO hard

Wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous! I love that you can have a beautiful vape that is actually a working piece of art. I am a great admirer of your work, then what’s not to love. I’d love to own one of your pieces one day in the future.

Really cool. So one thing I notice is I’m really able to control the “roast” of the herb really well already. Thanks ts really unique from my experience.
The airflow is really open. Incredible. That’s why there is a recommendation for slower inhaling. Totally agreed about that. I also find that I use my finger to “feather” the airflow on the bottom. I do t know if this is recommended or not but it really adds control to the roast. Still just using the low heater.
Also, I’m on the 4th load and still running the same battery. I like a pretty strong and done roast so I’m pleased with battery life.
Im totally enjoying the vape. One really major issue - I have to work today instead of using the Nomad. Hey Dan can you do anything about this last issue?

@madhockeydad , hahah! I'm afraid my skills only go so far... sorry about that. Hopefully you've got the weekend free!
Feathering the airflow hole is fair game, whatever works for you is alll good.
I'm glad the battery life is working out for you so far! Be sure to periodically check the voltage level on your charger to keep track of when it gets to about 3.5v, this is where you should recharge the battery. Going below 3.2v may damage the battery. Once you "feel" what 3.5v is like, you'll pretty easily be able to intuitively tell when to charge. Performance drops off dramatically around that point, so it's fairly obvious!
After you get a few sessions in to get the hang of your draw speed, you can try those cooling beads! The cooling beads adds a little air restriction which I find helpful.
Here's a little example of how the beads are loaded into a glass stem. This image shows it half full, but there are enough beads to fill to the top in each set. You can adjust for the amount of cooling you like.

Goddamn, love hearing how long the battery lasts. Could you post a pic of your finished abv load, for reference @madhockeydad

I found one Imren battery that didn’t want to go in. I definitely didn’t force it. I’d recommend if the battery doesn’t drop in without any friction that’s ok but if any friction I’m hesitant to proceed.
The culprit is: Imren 3000 MaH 40A. Wrapped in a light yellow/gold. Green Imren’s are fitting fine.
Even if it hour cooling beads I’m not experiencing any harshness. Tomorrow I’ll give that a try but I’d like to explore it this way first.
Dan - I’m disappointed about the vacation and retirement thing. I’ll get over it though since I LOVE the NOMAD. Hopefully you get the point. (Cap locks - lololololol so not !!!)

Damn! I keep making these battery holes larger and larger... seems like these battery manufacturers keep making the wraps thicker and thicker too! haha. I personally use Molicel p26a cells, they're a bit on the large side compared to other cells I've tried. What I don't like is when the battery hole is so large that the battery fits too loose... so it's a balancing act I suppose.
We love to hear it!

Well good people of FC, I’m am officially on the waitlist for one Mr. Morrison‘s Nomad IIs working works of art! I must say I’m excited to know that possibly this time next year, I may have a Nomad II in my hands. I’m glad I came and checked out the FC subs. Thanks everyone for being supportive, I see the same folks form the TinyMight sub here too.

That’s because all the TM owners on this forum are addicted to awesome wooden vapes
I can’t wait to get my Nomad as well…. It’s going to be a long year…. Lol

One capsule into the high heater. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be my favorite. Noticeably hotter and faster than the low. Very cool. With the low it’s possible to really get every nuance out of the flower. That’s cool.
I tend not to have the patience for the slow roast. Totally the way I’m internally wired. It’s good but I prefer a bit more….. omphffff. The high heater is perfect for that. I’ll give an update tomorrow after a few more samples.
Dan - thank you for the weekend. Not sure how you arranged it but rock on. Take care and thank you ( seriously)!
