The Nomad From Morwood

[letter never sent]

I just hope we see them before the end of the calendar year. I’ll be honest, so much time has passed since I paid for this thing that I’m not even super excited for it anymore. I kinda just forget it exists for the most part.

If I were Dan, I would probably stop doing the Nomads. It clearly takes way too long to make these things. Waiting four years after paying for something is just not very tenable IMO.

Paid 3.5 years ago and in Batch 3… still hoping he keeps building a little bit longer… just saying’

I hold out hope still that Dan decides to work more exclusively on the Nomad II for a while to at least take care of waiting customers who have paid. Can’t say I have an idea of how long it would take… but I have to think it would be a huge relief to finish those and start fresh

Really, we’ve waited this long, it’s not like I want it right now. I do wish that we would occasionally get an heads up at least, even just a “hi.” As things stand now, with Feb being the last completion date we had heard having come and gone, and Toads seeming to be in active production, it’s the silence that bothers me. I don’t think some communication, even telling us it’s going to take even longer, is too much to ask. I’ve been very supportive of Dan.

I paid back in June 2021 for a batch three unit. Number 123 . I know for a fact that the block of woo is sitting on his shop. I know for a fact that this piece will get made and I think I'm the very last nomad ii order that paid. That being said, I received an update in March saying he was finishing up with batch 2 etc. I do agree that it seems unfair that toads keep coming out but the mama gotta make money. And the raids don't have convex sides making it MUCH easier to machine both the metal and wood parts. He's said countess times how much easier the toad design is to make. So that explains the consistency of toad production.

As for us nomads, I think he bit off more than he can chew and that's ok. If you paid, don't worry. I believe you are getting your vape. Maybe in 2028 but you'll get it. If you haven't paid, consider a toad before complaining about the expected wait times. It's functionally the same, much more available, and cheaper too. I wouldn't be surprised if he transitions to only working on toads once he clears out his backlog.

I’m not upset about wait times. I’m not even upset about continued Toad production, which, however easier to produce it may be, of necessity takes time that could be spent finishing batch 2. And I understand, as people have said, he’s got to eat. I also understand that the Toads are more fun to make. What I am upset about is the lack of transparency and communication regarding the status of Nomad production. Dates are missed in silence, email updates are few and far between, and maybe the device needs to be renamed the Albatross.

If I were to start making an artisan vape, I'd call it the Godot
