Thanks. I've looking for one of these for a while now and with the rate those guys move, I didn't think I'd ever get one. They produce something like 50 every two months
I mean the last list (50 spots among two FB group, ~5000 people altogether) ended over a month ago and people are just now receiving them.
So does Nareg make the P1 also? Seems to have about the same availability!!! Is he even making the NarDa anymore also?Thanks. I've looking for one of these for a while now and with the rate those guys move, I didn't think I'd ever get one. They produce something like 50 every two months

No, this is made by Lochness mods and Mystic atmos; this sort of availability is very common actually.
And yes, the NarDA is still being made, they release a fair amount each month. Lately, they've been posting them randomly on the site in batches of 10-70 at a time and then they announce it in the group.
Worst distribution model ever. Artificial scarcity rarely ends well. Meet demand or geeteefo imo
It's not that they don't want to meet demands, they just don't have the means to. Okay, some things like the M-Atty, that was designed to be a hype atty; i.e. only produce 700 and call it quits.
Nar mods on the other hand, they have produced 1500 NarDAs and are still going. He is doing his best to meet demands but he is a one man shop pretty much. He has a full-time job on top of producing these as well. About the only way he's going to up his production enough to meet demand is to outsource to China, which he refuses to do (and I don't blame him for making that decision).
I definitely respect that he keeps manufacturing locally. I could be wrong, but wasn't it the narda that was only available through a waitlist on a private facebook group? Which as a result caused people to buy them just to jack up the price and resell them?
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure the NarDA has always been either a list (more of an instant list, get on it and you get to buy with within a few days, not a waitlist) or a random release on the site. Yes, they are flipped, but it's just like almost every other high-end piece of gear; the lack of availability drives that. I mean M-Attys flip for around $850 on average and literally EVERYone I have talked to about them says the NarDA is way better and that I shouldn't even bother.
Fair enough I'm probably mixing them up with another fairly scarce rda. Just sucks that I, like many others, are forced to buy a clone because the producer can't put out enough of the product to meet demand.
Love the atty, hate the model.
The good news is my five Narda clones perform just as good as my authentic.

My bad, my sarcasm just doesn't seem to come off as noticeable lately!!!
I thought the clone was released to meet demand? (sarcasm again)
Originally I think he released them on FB and it was 1st come, 1st served with no minimum buy either...
The word on the street is the comparison is just too close to call... I actually thought he stopped making them after the clone was released. Can't remember the last time anyone here on ECF posted about getting a brand new one. There have been a couple that have been sold or traded in the classies in the past few months though.
I can understand that, it's been nearly impossible for me to obtain a P1 and a few others that I've been lucky enough to get. I never thought I'd get one but fortunately for me, someone wanted a NarDA bad enough to trade me.
Could be, I wasn't a part of the group in the beginning so I can't really say. @jhhollier and @Mr.Mann might know because they were there before I was.
He didn't stop making them, he just changed his approach a little. And yes, the clones are extremely similar to point where buying them aftermarket is a little sketchy unless you know who you're getting it from. I was able to get four of them (three now since I traded one) but I didn't think anyone here wanted to hear about it haha.
I can see that, it is a fantastic atty, but it's definitely not for everybody. I just love it because it produces fantastic flavor (best I've ever had on a RDA) under 30 watts and is very leak resistant.
I remember in the beginning when I first got added about 6 months or longer ago, it was super easy to get one. I got one my first try with a list. But since then it hasn't been so easy since the group has exploded in number. Hell I can't even get a deck lol since I traded my NarDA I haven't been able to get one again. Which really all I need is the deck since I saved my ultem top cap for that exact reason thinking it would be easy to snag those decks, but it hasn't. But I'm holding hope that I'll at least get one back again. I do love that rda personally but I don't regret trading it either cause I also love what I got.

@muzichead - Did Nareg beat you up in school and take your lunch money or something? Every time the guy or his atty is mentioned you have to crap all over it/him. We get it, you don't like his (and like kformeck posted - MANY other modders') distribution method. I think that horse is beyond dead at this point you can stop flogging it.
I take it you didn't get that it was a sarcastic remark. Its all good man. Not everyone can read "every" post here, maybe you missed that one!!! Take your time when reading the forum and try not to let your hatred keep you from reading the important posts!!!
I keep checking narmods for an ultem cap but can't find it in stock. If they go up and it's announce can someone post here por favor?
thanks!
He hasn't personally made the ultem caps in a long time. They just recently ran a buy on the Facebook page from some company called odis, but imo they were kinda over priced compared to what I paid for my cap and tip.

Yep, Odis Collection and Design. Cap fits the Drifter and the NarDA. Not sure if it is ever in stock or not.
