It’s here! Nomad 2 Compressor

[NoLandBeyond]

It was well packaged. Did not come with any silicone oil, which I assumed it would. It did come with an applicator bottle though. I ordered silicone oil for it on amazon. 

Look forward to using this. I really like how portable it is and feels like it weighs about 20 lbs. I will update this post as I begin to use it and let you know how it performs. 

By the way, my Yong Heng is still running strong a year later.

Looks great! If I was to spend a bit more for a compressor (when my vevor dies) this is what I would buy. Looking forward to your feedback on it.

Interesting is that a 12v ? just to fill your guns i presume.

It's for directly filling PCP's at home or in the field. Not for filling tanks. Set up to use 110V out of box but can be converted to 220V - instructions in manual. Also has car battery hookup in case you want to fill up in the field - cable included.

Nice!!

I went to order one yesterday and they we're already all sold from just three days ago. 

Maybe I'll catch it next time.

Nice carry case and the onboard power supply is nice. I enjoy my version 1. May it work out for you long time.

Looks like a nice package deal, let us know how you like it or dislike it,

Mine just arrived also and I love it. Easy to set up and use. Everything fits easily into the carrying case. It is pretty quiet. Topped off my Marauder from 2000 psi to 2800 psi in about 2 minutes.

NLB,

What kind of oil did you order?

Will you give a little update please?

Mine just came in today but I haven't unboxed it.

Hey Bob,

I bought this lube from Amazon for the compressor. It's pure silicone oil.

It's called Super Lube 56104 Silicone Oil for $7.50 a bottle (4 oz.)

I placed two drops of this oil in the compressor fill port prior to turning it on for the first time. Wasn't sure how lubed it was but the manual states 2-3 drops every 5 fills. Figured I'd start it off right.

I went ahead and followed the directions, plugged it in, plugged my rifle in to the hose, turned the power on, and then pushed the on/off button to start things up. I had already preset my fill pressure using the dial adjuster on the gauge. I watched it closely and my load indicator stayed in the 23-24 range throughout the pump cycle all the way up to 200 bar. Once it filled, the compressor pump turned off but the unit was still on with the fans blowing. I just went ahead and bled the line, then bled the water purge screw on the underneath of the unit, then powered the unit off afterwards. Then I unplugged it to turn it all off. Pretty simple. Worked like a charm.

Thank you! 

I saw that stuff on Amazon tonight but wasn't sure about it. I'll order up a bottle right now.



I just got finished with a short video of my first fill with the Nomad II. I'll make a new thread so as not to hijack yours.
