So My hercules is out of commision at the moment...i have some omicron cartridges but have never used them. What would be easier for a first timer, 1.5ohm or the 5ohms
Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

I know they recommend the 2.4, but in this case 1.5's might be the least hottest vs the 5.0 ohm.
1.5 ohm @ 3.7v is 2.46667 amps & 9.12667 watts as opposed to 5.0 ohm @ 7.4v is 1.48 amps & 10.952 watts.
Very similar but the 1.5 should get you started , just be easy on the button till you find your sweet spot.
I would use .6 max use the 1.5 on a 3.7v battery.
Please let me know what consistency your oil is and ill guide you.
Okay thanks. Yeah I had one 2.4 ohm cartridge but i accidentally burnt it out when i was trying to get the hercules working initially
I dont plan on using the omi cartridges for long, just figured id give it a try while i wait for a piece to the hercules im missing
Okay cool. And hard shatter

You might want to wait to see if they handle hard shatters ok, I think it should.Okay thanks. Yeah I had one 2.4 ohm cartridge but i accidentally burnt it out when i was trying to get the hercules working initially

Yeah its not even a big deal, i should be getting my lost parts early next week, i just figured if i was ever going to try these cartridges now would be the time

I've got to agree here, hard shatter is getting thrown into the deep end of the pool.....and still being in the sack.....not a good way to learn. It takes some skill to get the reservoir up to temperature without roasting the dry wicks and seals. And that can happen with any hit from cold if you're not sharp enough.
2.4s and oils or waxes will give you better odds IMO. As a first timer with 1.5s and shatter expect to loose a few loads costing you a cart and about .2 grams of shatter each?
Your call, but.....

What's your backup? Can always melt shatter into a nug, let cool then do with as you please. Hits hard and tastes great no matter how you use it, even with combustion.

I used shatter in the 5.0 carts first because I wanted the potential for huge hits. I followed the instructions in the thread and the manual and everything worked out fine. Are you guys worried he won't get the shatter down to the bottom before it solidifies and then burn out the cart?

Oh my gosh.
I just used my Omicron for the first time.
WOW!
This device hits hard!!
It only took me about 10 minutes to load my first cart. I was nervous about it, but I picked up some durbin poison C02 oil in a syringe. I would highly recommend that newbies try to spend the money to get the C02 oil. It barely needs to melt & makes for an easy intro.
I propped a hair dryer with a concentrator on a towel, squeezed the C02 oil into the filling tool & used the dryer to heat the oil into the cart.
No heat-up time when using it. Amazing.
Only took 2 small hits & I'm very medicated!
Keep making products like this, THC, and I'll keep throwing cash monies at you!!

Yes, loading (while always a challenge and a traditional place for new guys to goof up) is more critical with the harder stuff. But, just to make it all the more fun every time it cools off it sets you up for another sort of problem the next time you fire it up. Until you melt the goods enough to flow well through the wicks you run the risk of using up all the remaining shatter in the heater area making vapor to run it dry there since the feed from the reservoir is blocked. Before the bulk heater can heat the (quite large) reservoir enough to feed the vaporization heater (same value) roasts what's left there and overheats the seals inviting leaks and killing the cart. Then you loose about .2 grams you can't recover and the cart. Every time you start up from cold you have a fresh chance to push it a little too hard and goof it up.
Handing a new guy perfectly loaded shatter in a high power cart is setting him up for making a mess IMO.
With experience and skills you learn how to deal with this automatically much like driving teaches you to "hit someone else's big metal thing with your big metal thing" (as George Carlin was fond of saying) automatically. In driving you learned to deal with traffic in slow steps, you didn't jump on the freeway your first day behind the wheel?
The advice remains to master the Omicron system with 24 Ohm carts (at 3.7 Volts) using 'medium weight' concentrates that pass the foil test easily before moving on to higher powers and thicker goods.

Ive got plenty of backups. I actually got the persei/herc as a back up for my Cera but the black rod quickly changed that scenario around.
But when i got the persei it came with a bunch of omicron carts that i never used, and probably will never use so i figured id try it out but i guess ill hold off and keep them around or give em away
Ya compared to the Herc the Carts are bla. In fact i would say use your Cera for shatter until you get the Hercs parts.

Still in awe of my little Omicron!! Now I want one in purple, too, lol! 
The C02 oil is so easy to use & I will likely keep going that route. However, been noticing your chat about shatter.
I have some absolutely divine Afghan Kush shatter that I adore. I don't know if it qualifies as "hard" shatter, since it more of a tough, sticky taffy. It doesn't really "break off", just forms a gooey clump. It melts into a liquid in my Pinnacle Pro.
Does anyone know if I would have good luck with this in a cart? I'd love to have it available in my Omicron, but don't want to do something dumb & crash a cart with this.
Thanks for this board. I learn so much!!

Thanks! That's what I figured. It's pretty thick & goopy.
I see the KISS cart on W9Tech website, but no purchase button, so I guess this means it's coming soon? Would love to use my Afghan shatter with this little device!!

Currently the coloring process isn't perfect matching the colors of all the Omicrons that have been produced to date is a little bit difficult since it's anodized process.
What this means is you can ISO wash it the coloring won't run like the other devices on the market, but the colors arnt going to match 100%.

Will the cart for the Ophos fit the V1 Omicron?

I want one ... yesterday .
questions ;
Why is the LAyG for the Omicron Light smaller ?
What kind of mouthpiece will attach to the top part for better inhaling ?
