Which w9 pen to buy????

Stringer

Member
have been reading for hours. there is no information on these anywhere.

how do I know what pen to buy, and what attachments will fit? I just want to order a pen today and need help. cant find any useful info out there anywhere. there is no way to email the manufacturer. there is no way to message the manufacturer here. nobody responds to my other thread. this should be easier.

Let me see if I can help you out. I have just about every W9 product. Everything is compatible (thread wise) in the W9 line, EXCEPT voltage requirements. Meaning all 3.7v carts can be threaded and operate on 3.7v W9 batteries such as the Ophos, Omicron, Minicron, Minicron Lite, and the Persei set up with a single 18650 battery.

W9 also offers some 7.4v carts such as the Hercules SR-74x and 7.4v kiss carts.

If you have deep pockets, get a Persei, Hercules SR-74x and some AW IMR 18650 and 18350 batteries.

If you want economic clouds, go for a Minicron with some Kiss 3.7v carts.

I highly suggest you read through the Persei thread. Its over 1100 pages long so tons of info, but too much to read, I know: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-persei-vaporizer-for-herbs-and-concentrates.4873/

You should post your questions in The Persei thread. Folks over there will be happy to get you up and running, including W9 themselves, known here on FC as THC SCIENTIFIC. Hoped that helped. Good luck.

would you recommend the minicron over the ophos? is so, why? trying to decide.

its confusing because I can only get attachments made for ophos on their website such as the ti kiss. and globe. cant find anything like that for the minicron. also can these batteries be changed? don't see any ophos batteries. thanks

there are no youtube videoes oor anything helpful out there I can find at all

just want to choose the best inexpensive pen and attachments for wax right now and its really hard.

The Ophos has a ego thread (skirt) that why you see carts specifically for it. However you can thread any kiss cart on it, just doesn't look as nice.

No, the batteries are not replaceable in the Ophos and Minicrons. Only the Omicron and Persei have user replaceable batteries.

Like I said before, all W9 carts are threaded the same (601), therefore everything is compatible as long as its 3.7v. Regarding batteries: The bigger the battery, there better the performance.

For a no brainer, buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UP-TECH-Min...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3f4ab9d233

Or buy from the W9 website, which I prefer.

Buy some extra 3.7v Kiss's soon so your not held hostage to one cart. Things happen.

Its important to browse the Persei thread.

Ok, I will state it a 3rd time. All W9 threads are compatible across the entire product line (601 threads).

In the drop down menu (w9's site), you would choose omicron/persei if your planning on using it with ANY w9 battery except Ophos (which it would work anyway). 510 threads would be for standard ecig batteries (non w9).

ok so based on the information here, which is very difficult to discern, how does this shopping cart look?? Is this ideal or do I make revisions? Everything fit together perfect? Thanks.

I understand the OP's concerns. Every time I start to look into w9 stuff I get a headache within minutes, trying to figure out if the v3 hammer top needs a lock button to interface with the sr71 or maybe it's the 74.

Seriously, if you're not already initiated into w9tech, those threads are seriously confusing as heck. I feel like w9 (who definitely has a presence on the forum) could really benefit from buckling down and curating themselves a best-of thread, or putting some kind of walkthrough or starter kits in an easily viewable place on their site.

I definitely agree, so I called w9 and G helped me. For entry level, ophos, omicron lite (I own) and minicron lite are excellent.

Stringer, I enjoy the 3.7v much more than 7.4v. It gives less clouds than 7.4v but flavor is on point. You can get bigger clouds if you ride the button. I would start with the globe and attach the tigr2 atomizer you bought. Stand in front of a mirror and practice, watching the vapor. It will teach you how to properly hit the atomizer and you can use a similar strategy with the kiss cart. I use 2-3 second pulses (4 or 5 times per draw)

mixchu! I've been seeing your posts all over the place and it looks like you've done a ton of research on wax/oil pens. What would you recommend for:

a) o.penvape style 'walk down the street, take a puff, put back in pocket'

b) decent oiltank vape for end-of-day hotel-room big hitting?

A) I just bought "the vaporizer" from w9 ($29.99). Size of a pen and has the kiss mini with dark ceramic. New so learning to use it but like it for discretion. I use omicron lite daily when needed with both kiss and globe gr2 ti carts, if discretion is not important.

B) I use the Persei with herc 74x, using the core (their plug in system). I don't like worrying about batteries, so the core is perfect and allows me to change voltage. Herc provides the best tasting vapor. Better than my enail off a Quartz nail. You can put in .5 gram or more and get a lot of puffs without reloading. The pens above are more lay as you go.

If I'm not using my enail, I like the herc. Hope that helps. Tried a lot of pens out there.

@Stringer Sorry I hadn't seen this post, I don't monitor much on FC outside of our product threads.

I would be more than happy to help you out if you get a hold of us. We try to make it easy - it shouldn't be hard at all:

We publish all our contact information on our website: www.w9tech.com . Our phone number is at the top of the page, on the right.

If you click the blue contact button you'll see our phone number there too. 818-849-6133. Call that number Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm PST and I'll pick up and do my best to guide you towards devices and cartridges that will fit your needs!

You can also open a support ticket if you prefer to not chat on the phone! Either way will get you in touch with me! I am here to help.

Sam

I think it's awesome that you guys are so available, but is there any particular reason the information is held back until someone contacts you? Think of how many people look at that site, get lost and give up without ever knowing that 'filing a ticket' is pretty much an advanced-level FAQ.
The forums are great for addressing specific questions, but it's really easy to get bogged down in all the weird scary-looking technical details that the posts seem to devolve into.

exactly. and all filing a ticket ever got me was a response to call, which isn't convenient for a few reasons. I respond back with a question, and never heard back.

glad I got the order figured out and submitted though. im sure I made the right choice. thanks for the help everyone.

@jim-bob , what type of information are you looking for that doesn't exist? I'd be happy to write something up if you give me an idea of what you need to know. My job is to provide information, and if you aren't finding the info about our products that you need on their respective pages, I can certainly try to improve our product descriptions.

Or, if you're after information of a different type, what info could I write up and provide that would help someone new UP Tech products out? We offer a wider variety of products than most other oil vaporizer companies, and I'm sure our high end items can be a bit intimidating.

However, we do also have four vaporizers that are extremely user friendly, the Vaporizer, Minicron Lite, Minicron, and O-Phos, and the only performance difference between them is how large the battery is (both its physical size and how long you want the battery to last.) They all have 601 threading and will work with all of our 3.7V carts. They come as a complete kit for maximum ease, so there's no need to worry about compatibility between a "battery" and a cartridge.

and all filing a ticket ever got me was a response to call, which isn't convenient for a few reasons. I respond back with a question, and never heard back
I asked you to call in since you asked very broad questions and I can tell you needed a lot of information. Phone calls are by far the best way to fill in a newbie to the vaping world :)

I'm looking at your support ticket right now, and it was never responded to, so I had no idea a phone call wouldn't work for you, my apologies!

Any email you received should tell you it's from an automatically generated email and is just a notification that the ticket's been updated, and you need to click the link provided in the email to come into the ticket system. If you "replied" to the email, no one ever saw that response. I'd love to help you out further if you can find that email, click the link in it.

Did you try PMing any of our staff members during your inability to contact us while choosing not to call? I never got a PM from ya asking for help, and I'm our only Customer Service rep on FC.

In the end, with the community's help, you pieced together an awesome setup with a few cool options. More than enough to get you started! If you have questions going forward, well, at least you know of a few other ways to get help if you don't want to call. I'd highly recommend posting in the http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/ophos-omicron-lite-oil-vaporizers.11223/ thread with any further questions! If you post asking for help with UP tech products outside of our product threads, it's much less likely that any one from our company will see your post and be able to assist.

You made the right choice. I think you will be very satisfied. I would have saved hundreds of dollars if that was my first purchase. A tip that has worked with me: I use a glass dabber and pick up the size of your normal dab. I would place the dab on the coils and pulse the button so the ceramic soaks up your concentrate. Sometimes it soaks it right up. When I initially dropped a fat ball of shatter, about .3, I didn't have a great experience and it made a mess. Using the dabber, you won't get a lot of leaks to the sides and conserve your material. But I emphasize glass dabber over stainless steel or ti so you won't short the cart.

You should taste the concentrate only (no metallic taste, which I find with most pens). If you taste metallic, you are doing something wrong. Don't ride the button too long, I would rather do more pulses. I rec 2-3 secs. Please remember that I just started using concentrates about a year ago, and sharing my experiences. A lot of ppl may disagree. Start with the globe and watch yourself in the mirror. That will teach you everything. I find w9 products to help me stay medicated when I'm away from my enail or Persei/herc, which I never take out to the public.
