Thank you all for all the responses. Never owned a log (although I do have my eye on a woodscents), but am familiar with their concept. Do like the not having to ride the button. Was my one pet peeve with the Milaana, have a coupla drinks and suddenly it's combustion city cos of distorted time perception!

ahhhh @KeroZen
very happy that you are posting again on a thread that I am watching carefully!
I wanted to sincerely and warmly thank you for sharing your experience regarding your way of vaping...
I don't like to suck 15-20 seconds to get a satisfying puff...yet that's what I was doing...
and for 10-15 days, I have halved my suction time and... I have doubled the number of my puffs... it looks a lot more like what I was originally looking for!! !
I need a little time for my brain to get used to it, but I hope to reduce the suction time a little more, and increase the number of draws...
I don't have Dan's device yet (but it shouldn't be long...) and I hope that his heating will help me to go in this direction...
in short.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Right. And I use both exclusively dry. Joint-puffing like, or sipping some would say.
If you do water filtration and/or elephant rips, I'm convinced you could create sufficient airflow to counteract the heater power and get a constant temperature while holding the trigger all the way long.
But you see that's an aspect I wanted to discuss for some time, and it would definitely benefit from having a dedicated thread: we would spare ourselves a lot of confusion if we always precised our way of consumption. In the e-cig world they distinguish between MTL and DTL vapes and we have clearly a similar distinction between our usage patterns in practice.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of unregulated vapes. You are able to customize your hit so much better. It's kind of like why I enjoy driving vehicles with a standard transmission.
Yeah, The performance is identical, as far as I can tell.
I have both the toad and the anvil.

I know theyre almost opposite in almost every way, but which wins your reach test and why? For me the anvil won but I'm still waiting on my nomad to be made so I'm curious if it'll win me over or be a more occasional thing
This thread isn't the place for these types of comparison questions. Feel free to continue via PMs or make a thread in Ask FC if you like.
Thank you.
The only thing I miss from other vapes when using this Nomad II is that I have no battery indicator, so I'm always swapping batteries every few days to prevent them from accidentally getting too low. Beyond that, I prefer unregulated for the same reasons as @Ramahs does. I wouldn't want any electronics in this vape.

It didn't take me long to figure out the battery. In my experience, the vapor production becomes obviously reduced before the battery gets too low.
But at first it was helpful to have a multimeter to test the batteries charge and make sure I wasn't draining it too low. I found consistently that I was feeling ready to recharge long before the battery gets anywhere close to low enough to cause any damage. You can get a cheap multimeter for less than twenty bucks on Amazon.

I would agree that you will experience a noticeable drop-off in performance before the battery gets too low. This said, the Toad and Nomad 2 uses a much more user-friendly battery protection method. Previously on the Nomad 1, you needed to swing the connection bridge to disable contact from the battery. Now, you just remove the bottom plate and reinsert with contacts flipped. Personally I think its a good idea to do this after each session for safety sake.

Yes indeed. Much better. It's the same system Dan used in my/the Toad.

The Afzalia and Cocobolo are my favorite combo. How long is the wait list again? BTW The handwork on the bottom is gorgeous--I noticed it right away, and thought, "This is a high-end maker. I probably can't afford this."African blackwood and lignum vitae.
Afzelia xylay and cocobolo.
Padauk and pear.
Here's a close up look of the spring loaded brass connector inside of the pear wood bottom. I really like how the springs are totally hidden, giving a clean look.
A closer look at the bottom carving. I carve the concave surface on the bottom by hand with a power carving bit, followed up by a lot of hand scraping and sanding. Each bottom carving takes me anywhere from 1 hr - 1.5 hrs to complete (depending on wood species). That's at least a week a non-stop carving for a batch. Unfortunately I have not figured out a faster method for this process yet....
I thought about getting rid of this feature, since it's only aesthetic after-all, but it's just such an integral part of the over-all design, I just couldn't imagine the Nomad II without this little detail!

Joined WL June '19; paid June '20 for a slot in N2 batch 2. Maybe I see it this year, given the process improvements?
Maybe...

That’s just insane. Going to be over 2 years since you paid by the time it’s in your hands. I don’t care how beautiful Dans work is, or how much time he puts into each one, that’s pretty unacceptable.
