Am looking at the Nomad compressor from PA. Looks like over the year they have gotten a couple shipments in and quickly sold out. I have been thinking about getting one of these, but waiting to hear some experience from those that have already received them. So far it seems to be pretty quiet. Anybody have one? Godd? Bad? Let's hear some reviews.
Nomad Compressor - Any experience yet?
- Thread starter Bam86
- Start date
There has been a couple of reports with one saying that it malfunctioned. I am also looking at it because it's quieter than my Yong Heng.

I have one, only used it once so far. I’m waiting for the corn next to my house to be cut so I can have my shooting range back. It did good airing up my streamline

I've had mine a couple of months now...filled several bottles, 13 ci and .38 ml to 2900 psi...works great - no trouble...noise level is individual...relatively quite for some, loud for others, hard to make that determination...it's in my computer room and it doesn't bother me while it's filling as I surf or work the computer. Haven't gone above 3 Kpsi
I recommend it...
Good Hunting.

Some kind of clones are already available in the China market :

Normal working temperature 90 deg C !!!
No addition of lubricant needed !!!

Probably will be available on ebay in the near future.

I ordered a Nomad this past weekend from PA. It's being delivered tomorrow. On their website it says that they won't be available til 11/5. I'm a little worried I'm getting a returned one. We'll see... I'm going to inspect every inch of it !! Lol

The company that make them makes the "clones" also.. The :clone" has been on the market for a bit of time before the nomad was introduced..

Received my Nomad yesterday. Definitely not a return like I anticipated. Came crazy packed from Pyramydair. I filled my Impact and P15 both in less than 5 minutes from around 160 bar to 250 bar. Like others have stated the manual doesn't say how long you should run it without load and just the fan on after fill has been completed. I let it run about 3 minutes and no part of it felt even warm. I wonder if I should attempt to top off my 88cuft cf scba to 4500 psi . It has around 3200 psi in it.

Yes but I've only used it literally 4 times. Filled my .25 Impact and .22 P15 directly. Just really busy this week to play with it further. I am so tempted to top off my cf 4500 psi 88 cuft scba. It currently has approx 3200 psi in it. I'm not sure I should chance it even if I do it in short time segments. Any opinions ??

Had mine a couple months. Filled the Wildcat 20 times From 150 to 250 bar takes under 3 minutes. Just reading on PA Q&A for the Nomad they talked of filling a small bottle like a Benji 90 cu.in in no more 5min &1000psi intervals at a time and not to exceed load and drain,the person giving that answer stated they contacted Air Venturi. But I’ve heard a lot of thing in forums and Q&A’s so like all things on the WWW verify and then verify again.

Hi.
I just got the Nomad II. What silicone oil is recommended for it?
Used if a few times on a FX Wildcat Compact and Benjamin Marauder Pistol.
