I was fortunate to get pulled in the drawing for this unit a couple years ago, and received it last summer! I’ve been on the nomad list for a while, and had been really wanting to check out something from Dan. The Toad is a minimal, beautiful design that really shines in the finer details. All the wood is sanded to where it’s incredibly smooth to the touch, even the feeling of sliding the stem into the body feels satisfying, and I absolutely love the lichen button.

This is a really pretty device
That’s so cool. How much bud does this hold and does it have temp control?
It’s a manual, unregulated vape, so it doesn’t have temp control. It’s similar to the Milaana, if you’re familiar with that.
The stem is just a straight tube, so you can adjust the screen for the bowl to hold whatever quantity you prefer. I keep the load pretty small in the Toad so that I can extract the full bowl in a couple hits, since stirring isn’t really convenient with it.
The maker of the Toad & Nomad is Dan Morrison, he’s up in Canada. He makes every single piece of his vapes by hand. Turns his own screws, goes out to the forest and harvests the lichen for his buttons, it’s truly something else.
One thing I’ve noticed about the dry herb vape community is that there are many sellers who that. I haven’t really seen all too many other communities have these type of sellers. I’m sure you could find em but it seems like vaporents take more pride in it
The dry herb vape world definitely appreciates the artisans, which I am very happy to see. One of my other hobbies of the past was custom knives, which similarly has a strong appreciation for artisan makers.
