After a full month of pulling in the Omni exclusively, I keep telling myself I should put it away for awhile and pull the new ‘20 M back out, as it’s gotten no attention since that first ~36 hours…but I keep pulling on the Omni instead. I’ll have to take sterner measures….

My tricky vision has renamed this the Onion…it’s stuck now, there’s no going back Mine did…it said in the description that it would include the captive cap UPDATE…there’s a date on the back of the cap tongue, says 2021, so my mistake: ‘not a ‘20 captive cap’. There is another number as well...

No idea what you mean by “flooded” - ? What if they ran out of ‘20 tips and sent you a ‘21, ‘cause production runs and demand and response time? Your description of your original ‘20 tip suggests it acts more like my ‘17 M than my new ‘20 M, and who knows, they might have silently upgraded my...

I have my own OCD traits, but ‘cleaning’ a raw wood surface with anything more than a stiff brush and a burst of compressed air just isn’t going to work out well: there’s nothing to clean out but any residual dust from the boring, and raw wood soaks up liquid like crazy. At most, wiping down...

I see and hear George indicating that there’s a taper there...and yet...I’m kinda in the habit of believing my own lying eyes, so I’ll sit mute on the subject.

Not sure what taper you’re talking about. I just examined the throats of 3 Ti tips - a 5-fin, a 7-fin, and the ‘21. NONE of them show any taper at all at the point where the condenser comes nearest to the tip...or at any point in the throat. The throats and tip-insert sections of the three...

I think you’re right: the current carving on the tips is nothing like the spiraling of tips previous. It suggests to me a different plan to achieve the tip’s purpose from that behind the old tip design(s). I don’t mean to read too much into it, but it’s SO different, and DV is so...

After 5 days with the new hotness, it/I/we has/have settled down. Consistent bowl browning after 3 bowls: save after three, discard after 4+. This seems unaffected by airport use, and one hit = one long inhale (m-l) from click to click. I have not swapped any parts around. I don’t care...

👍 Hanging out with my Omni this weekend, I drained the batteries in my Flux TWICE...and maybe a gram+ gone as a result? I know you’ll enjoy your new toy!

The more I use this new Omni, the better I like it...so much so that I’ve really done no quantitative analysis. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I get distracted by the seemingly endless hits off any given bowl...this is as much about how comfortable I am holding this thing. For years, I’ve...

A hammer works splendidly to flatten a bent CCD. Simple and quick - just don’t get carried away by your Hulk self

FIRST time I hearing any of this: in four years I’ve never had a CCD ‘shrink’, never read or heard a report of such a thing. OTOH, CCDs are tricky to install, require patience and practice, AND ARE EASY TO BEND DURING INSTALLATION. The CCD in my ‘17 Omni has been in place for more than three...

I’m willing to have no opinion for a while. Familiarity can take the edge off many things, I think the captive caps are no different. I’m not 100% sure I know what folks are pointing at when they talk about loose space, to be honest, but it would be in keeping with all the other developments...

I have 4 original / regular caps, and now 2 captive caps. On first encounter, I wasn’t crazy about the captive caps, but after so much bowl-checking during testing, it seems I was right: they seem to be becoming less annoying with use. Once they’re broken in, I’m sure they won’t be an issue...

Received my ‘21 Omni this morning, along with a ‘20 M. Both really beautiful, no loads run thru yet, just an alcohol-dipped pipe cleaner run up through the condensers. I can see the complaint with the captive caps...but they get easier to remove over time, so I’ll wait and see. ‘21 TI tip has...

Pkg is now in my metro: excellent chance of delivery tomorrow ❤️ Anticipation has spurred a general inspection, inventory, and cleaning: after mentioning how my ‘caps never gunk up, my Omni gunked up. “Collection” so far: Omni (01/17), original M (‘17?), sandblast M; Omni cubic stem, one...

I remove the o-rings as seldom as possible...because they can stretch, and then must be replaced. All the o-rings I’ve replaced were due to being stretched, unintentionally, by me. Keeping them greased up is a real good idea; I’m not real good at remembering to do it, but $5 to oringsandmore...

I’m excited by the idea of a half-bowl in an M: sounds like the road to max single-pull extraction. Since this will involve playing with CCD installation, I’ll see if I can’t put together a brief vid look at Doc’s machine-screw solution. Wish me luck...

I thought the point was for the cap to heat and transfer that heat to the tip, which then held the heat until cooldown, providing the temps required to vape the Bud with that heat. I have no idea what to say about the role of magnetism in your scenario: for one thing, you suggest you’re...

I see the conversation has come back around to bowl size, and setting CCDs in place, so here’s a terrific post from @Dynalowrider on how to do that: ...or just use your condenser to push up / out on your screens This is a good trick, easy to use, and a lot less nerve-wracking than other...
