I haven’t tried a Nichrome heater yet, but I have a Nomad *and* Toad coming so I’m really hoping that it doesn’t bother me.
I’ve heard that some people are sensitive to the taste while most are not, so I’m optimistic.
Other than that, while Shit Snacks is not wrong about the differences, especially with the newer heaters the learning curve is supposed to be low and once you have it down you should be able to adjust your draw speed and pre-heat time (and/or swap the heater) for a wide range of results.
If you use it enough that should become second nature, but if you want to just set a temp and hit it the TM will do that with no thought required.
I personally prefer just about everything about the Nomad and Toad on paper, but the TM is the closest I’ve seen in a convection device with a larger production capacity, and with a larger heater and stem it should pump out even more vapor if that’s what you want.
I should say I haven’t had a chance to try any of them yet (although I‘ve read all of the Nomad and Toad and most of the TM thread), but since your Nomad isn’t far off, personally I would wait for the it and see if you still have any reason to want the TM or not. Unless you need it now, in which case a TM would fill the gap, or something cheaper you’d worry less about like an XMax V3 Pro might hold you over too. Plenty of ways to go!
…but not the Plenty. Too big and tethered to the wall.
…also I may have just hit the FlowerPot too many times.
