For those of us in process of upgrading that haven't shipped yet, will they be the replaced/upgraded battery? Do you have the fixes in house?

If it has not shipped it will be shipped with the newer batteries. It's not something we can do in house, so we have to wait a few for our manufacturing to get done as all our machines and tools are set up there.

Hope it makes sense and all the orders that are delayed because of this will also get the 5 coils

Thanks THC. I am excited for the ACv2. It will be worth the wait.
 
Well my first impressions of the Omicron V4 2100mah have been pretty positive overall. I got mine Tuesday afternoon, proceeded to charge it up, and enjoyed it thoroughly over the next few days. Unfortunately, starting Friday I began running into some issues with my Omicron, namely with being able to use it at all. I am curious if it has something to do with the battery issues. Now I really wish I had a back up vape! lol oh well, at least I've got alternative options for helping with my back. I sent in a support ticket already, and I know W9 will take care of it, they always do! Just providing my personal experience so far.

Overall though, I really like the feel of the unit, very solid feel in the hand, I appreciate the change to steel for sure over the old aluminum bodies Omis! The KISS AC has been awesome, taking a bit of time to learn how to use it exactly as I want. The dual coil been leaking a small amount of oil down into the base of the AC, but nothing a little scrub with 99% Iso can't fix! I noticed it after I was pushing it pretty hard, so it seems like running it for too long certainly makes the oils too runny and leak through the unit. But that is simple physics there given air flow channels, though it does seem slightly counterintuitive given the extra size of the cup, even with cool down hits. I was interested to see if I could load a large amount in once earlier in the day and just keep using it, but I'll likely go back to my old pattern and just load small amounts at a time.

As a side note, a quick shoutout to @THC SCIENTIFIC for the extra goodies that were sent with my upgrade! And to @SamuraiSam for his quick responses to my questions over the holiday weekend. You certainly have a loyal customer with me, between the innovative products and excellent customer service, I can't imagine needing to use a different brands product! Even with my issues, I'd highly recommend the V4 to those who are thinking about it, when mine was working it hit like a beast!

I'm sorry for missing your question, @530rasta
The essential oil cartridge is loaded by placing a fill tool into the top. This tool has a bridge to cover the air tube so you can melt oils inside the cartridge and they feed down along the outer walls. They will encounter a bulk oil heater which is a nichrome heating wire wrapped around a ceramic base. This heats the oils and walls of the cart to promote oils feeding down into the vaporization element. Located beneath the bulk heater is a second nichrome wire heating element wrapped around a silica wick, which wicks the warmed oils from the bulk heater into the main heater. When you apply power, both heaters activate and vaporize your oil, sending the vapor up the center air tube.
Interesting, so two heating elements eh? Sounds good. Thanks for the reply

I'm stunned at how tiny my small omicron v4 is! It's like a roll of quarters or something! Feels super solid, too. Still not sure how I feel about the pull-off top versus the AC's screw-off top..

Is there a thread for the Alpha Centauri itself? I use mine with a non-w9 power source at the moment..

just saw an older omicron at the LHS in the city I am visiting. Tempted, the first one I have seen in person.

After so many rave reviews of the v4, I'm thinking of picking it up instead of the KandyPens Galaxy.

So do ALL v4s have battery issues or only some? I was wondering if I should order from w9tech now or wait.

There isn't an issue its just we have found a way to make it better and are replacing all the batteries now instead of waiting and seeing which one fails.

We have decided to offer the best from the start that is all.

One more question for you guys. Once a kiss cart is loaded can there be any "leakage" issues? I plan on loading a cart and tossing it in my pocket for a concert, would this cause any problems when I go to vape?

I just got my v4 in the mail. I plugged it in to charge but no light came on. Is this normal?

Also, do I contact Puff It Up or Up Tech about the battery replacement?

This might not be helpful, but yes and no. If the cart is pretty clean I think you can get away with putting a giant glob on the coils and keeping it in your pocket. The dirtier it is and the more you do that the more likely the heat in your pocket will be enough to start making it leak.

I use a dual coil kiss gen3 at hockey games. I would overload it to get 2 sessions out of it and it was fine for awhile. For me my pocket got too warm and eventually enough leaked into the bottom to start coming out of the air intake holes. It wasn't much of a leak, I mostly noticed because it restricted my draw and I saw the hole was plugged. I'm probably just going to stick to the same setup and try to keep it cleaner.

The consistency of your concentrate makes a HUGE difference in my experience. Also, removing the KISS from the battery and keeping it in a small container alongside the battery will help keep it insulated from body heat. I would say this cart is more leak resistant than most due to it's design. But a goopy concentrate outside on a Texas summer day hanging around in your pocket will leak. I seriously suggest keeping the KISS in a little plastic container when you're not actively vaping off of it. Film canister is juuuust too small, but containers are easy to find.

Fill a KISS cart with stable extracts and as long as you cool it down after use so the oil doesn't stay super hot and runny, it should resolidify inside the cart & be ready for your next hit! I usually don't advocate more than a big grain of rice or else the last hits will not taste too great & leave behind that off taste for the next load... But use it as you wish.

What's the spec differences?

If i already own a persei and 2 8's what sorta compelling reasons might I have to upgrade?
