The Nomad From Morwood

I remember when he demonstrated his wood finish using your chunk of wood. This thing turned out so pretty. Out of curiosity, are you the one who ordered Koa to match your instrument? I could've sworn someone ordered koa to match their ukelele or guitar or something like that.

On an unrelated side note, what does the brass look like once it's patina has developed?
That was me with the Ukulele inspired Nomad.
Dan did 2 Koa units and both were amazing looking.

Here's some button plate patina on #001that could use a polishing.

NICE, is that brand new becasue I follow the Troy and Jerry show on Youtube and they haven't covered the Nomad on their yet so maybe that's coming as well.
On YouTube, I’ve seen that Troy has the Troy and Jerry show as well as Troy 420, which he’s been posting daily live sessions. This was from his Troy 420 stream, yesterday. Honestly, I also watch it on YouTube, but on the stream, Troy mentioned that he’s trying to move to Twitch, which I why I shared that link instead of YouTube. That said, I think you are right and we’ll see Troy show off his new masterpiece on the Troy and Jerry show tomorrow.

They covered the Nomad 1 and Okin with actual physical units of both and discussed the Nomad 2 using Dan's mockup in this video:

Attached is a link to Troy’s review of the Nomad II. I won’t share a summary of his review because I think he should get paid for his work. That said, I figured this would interest you all.

I got too distracted by the repetitive mispronunciation of the word "lichen"...LOL. I think it was a good intro vid for the uninitiated but confused by the comparison to the TinyMight and I also disagree with the statement that the Nomad 2 is more of an art piece. The Nomad 2 definitely benefits from the aesthetics for sure but saying that disregards its performance which is extremely good once your technique is nailed down and based on Troy's comments, it doesn't seem like his unit has been used enough to dial in technique...his seems more of a shelf unit that a daily driver (which is what mine is). Beyond the performance, the device is made exceptionally well and I truly believe that it will last until 18650s are no longer made. It is a very solid device and hard to truly appreciate the details until you have one in your hand.

I do concur that the Nomad 2 operates similarly to the Milaana but refined in every way imaginable including performance.

@flammy you have a fantastic collection of Morwood devices (shown on your Instagram). Wow, is all I can think of to say... Any chance you'd be willing to post the same photo in this thread? I'm sure others would enjoy seeing your collection.

Absolutely stunning. My jaw drops looking at all of the vapes Dan creates. Just scrolling throw his Instagram is awe inspiring. I definitely love myself some wood vapes :lol:

Thanks, I think I did see that video before.

I 100% agree with your sentiments on Troy's opinion and video of the Nomad II.

I don't quite think he's the best person to get a "review" of the Nomad through - admittedly only using it a couple times throughout a whole year one thing.

Besides that, he's more of a heavy hitter type of guy and although can appreciate the art of the Nomad, from what I've gathered, it's not really his cup of tea type of vape so I guess I actually wasn't expecting anything other than what he said.

*Not saying the Nomad II can't be a heavy hitter but from what I can tell, this style of vape just isn't ever going to be his daily driver.

As far as the comparison to the milaana, is the nomad able to one hit a bowl with some practice in the same way my milaana was able to? I generally prefer short sessions like what the nomad seems to give but I occasionally will do the one and done type of rip as well so I'm hoping I'll have that versatility

I agree as well. I do hope he does a longer more focused review of it though, after some time of use of course. I think it would be hard to appreciate any vape when basically just opening it up and using it for the second / third time.

Yea. I like that punch you get from a bigger hit sometimes but I'd mostly do those short sessions

In my experience it’s not difficult to clear a bowl in one hit with the nomad high heater once you dial in technique. You can’t clear a bowl as quickly as you would with a milaana but if you wanted to, you could clear a bowl in under 30 seconds including preheat. Hope that helps.

The wait was tough at times but so worth it.

Super sick! What's the sort of matching stem right on top of the Nomad?

The Nomad is the one vape that doesn't need a "review" at all. Considering the microscopic number of Nomads in the wild I would say anyone who makes a Nomad YouTube video isn't doing a review, they're just showing off. :D

:peace:
Ha true that, fair enough.
