I wish they would list retailers on their website...and educate their retailers.

True story:

Last week I walked into a shop that carried the omicron and persei but the shop didn't even know what they were. The guy said the omicron is the same as everything else but it costed more and told me I should buy a G-pen. I laughed. It was almost like they were using the omicron as a way to push their lower end stuff out the door...I told the guy he was out of bounds saying that and he should really take the time to learn the product.

Whats up guys? Noob here, trying to figure out the best tank to get for my ophos. I'd like something I can rebuild and take apart fully to clean. Was looking at the aerotank by kranger but not sure if it will work for the ophos. I'm kinda confused about the EGO, 601, 510 threading compatibility. Any suggestions?

If it's for essential oils we would recommend the kiss cart or the essential oil cartridge. The kanger is for ejuice .

Thanks for the quick reply. I am referring to use with e juice. I understand what tanks are for. I need to know which one works best with the ophos that can be rebuilt and easily cleaned.

thanks again. :)

i really want to know if the kanger aerotank mini or protank mini will fit properly on a Ophos. sorry, i forgot to mention this before. the one listed is a 3.5 and i would really like a 1.5

They have a smaller one and it's 2.5 voltage which I think should work...just look on their site

Hi @wakeboard3584

Of the ecig tanks that Delta9 sells, I would suggest the newest tank, the Kanger Protank 2. Delta9 had Kanger manufacture a special run with a 610 threaded base, which will mate directly to your Ophos. You can break down this tank and clean it, and replace its atomizer heads with Kanger-produced replacements.

As for the Kanger Aerotank Mini, like most ecig hardware it is available only with a 510 threaded base. You will need a 601-510 adapter to mate it to your Ophos.

Perfect! This is what I was looking for, thanks so much!

Now, on a side note;

Do you guys prefer using a glycol based e juice with refillable tanks or just using wax with the essential oil carts that Delta9 sells?

That's kinda apples to oranges. We get ejuice with nicotine in it, not cannabinoids. We get wax with cannabinoids in it, not nicotine. The technology for getting thc rich ejuice is still in its infancy, so very few people really get to choose between thc juice vs thc wax.

I guess I should explain where all the questions are coming from. I have an ophos with the kiss cart but it is a pain and messy to load it every time I want a puff. The fragile ceramic rod broke after less than 2 weeks of use and although its still working, I don't really want to spend another $25 on a fragile cart. I had been considering picking up a tank and making my own e juice by diluting the wax with propylene glycol for convenience once it is loaded and ready to go. I could mix up a big batch and just use a dropper to load the tank. Obviously, each hit would be more diluted since most of the thc e juices are 1 to 1, oil/wax to glycol but I can deal with that if its the more convenient option. I prefer to get a pure hit of wax and have heard good things about the W9 essential oil carts buuuut the big carts concern me because they say to store in 50-80F and my pen gets left in my car occasionally, which is often hotter than 80. Does getting the pen too warm while not in use cause sticky leaky mess with the bigger cartridges? I'm trying to understand why they need to be kept under 80. I would prefer them if they will work for my situation. Thanks for the help!

@wakeboard3584 i don't use it, but check out EJmix. You will find a lot of people who use it to thin out their concentrates for use in standard e-cigs. (also used in making med-ible candies)

IIRC the OPHOS uses 601 treading as well. It has an outer skirt with different threading to fit the ego style stuff but that's just for looks for function. You'd still need a 601 threaded cart to be able to plug it into any W9 battery.

I feel your pain on the KISS. I have had two snap in less two months...

First off, you can't mix PG and wax and end up with THC juice. It mixes when both liquids are hot, and soon separate from each other. It stays together long enough to inject into a traditional cartomizer, where it gels up in the polyfill batting. But, it is not stable enough to load into a tank. EJMix is a blend of PG76/PEG200/PEG300/PEG400 and is touted to mix with wax resulting in a shelf-stable blend. Skunkpharm has had success with mechanical homogenization, buts its a pricey set up for home use.

I too like large hits of pure concentrate, and I have found the Hercules to be my daily driver. It is more like a giant cartomizer than a tank setup, but it holds more than enough concentrate for me. It is easy to clean and reassemble, with no disposable parts.

I sent this pic to an Ophos friend, pointing out it comes with a non-stick jar.
she tells me that her Ophos came with a LEGO style jar.
WTF is a "lego style jar"?

Maybe meant the stackable jars that connect to one another?

My friend, for whom English is her third language, always calls my KISS a "LEGO kart". I yell, "LAYGO", but it is close enough!

Awesome info, thank you! The Hercules looks awesome but man, that's a steep price tag haha. I guess it's back to the drawing board. Maybe I will have to re-evaluate and consider the essential oils cartridge.
