That is different than the one posted by @Flight of Fists. This one seems to be the one:

Anyone try the o.pen cart? I wonder if these http://www.openvape.com/shop/vaporizers/o-pen/single-empty-cartridge-5ml.html work any better than the gotvaphes sapphire.

Just wanted to post an update, I decided to order a Aspire K1 a few weeks ago. After looking at a few promising smaller "disposable" styles I felt like for my situation this was a bit better fit. My first impressions are pretty good, a lot better than the Kanger mpt3. I've only run 2 fills thru it so far, but no leaking or clogging issues yet. I'm using a fairly safe 1:1 mix and it seems to flow nicely, may try a bit stronger mix at some point if I feel the need. Right now I'm just happy to have a working option lol.

I know it's not the same style as the GotVapes bud, but worth lookin at if it works for you, and pretty reasonable at $8.50

Have you tried the pure gold in the K1? if so what was the result??? K1 looks like it might be just the right mix of disposable and rebuildable for the casual vaper to use for Pure Gold...

Honestly no, I haven't used Pure Gold in it, but I'm sure it would work. I mainly use co2 oil mixed with EJMix these days, and for some reason the co2 (even at 2:1 mix) stays pretty thick but seems to wick fine. I do find I need to saturate the coil's inner wick before use, then the process of vaping that oil off will warm and feed the tank oil. If I put in a clean coil, then fill the tank and assemble, there's about a 50/50 chance the oil won't fully wick just sitting.
I use a syringe to pull up my mix, then before filling the tank I poke the blunt tip into the 4 holes in the coil (careful not to damage it) and just squeeze a drop into each. Then I squeeze 1-2 more drops down the top hole, off to the side but careful not to get caught up in the actual coil element inside. This and some gentle priming gets the coil hot enough to warm the oil and feed it into the inner wick.

So really I can't see a reason why PG wouldn't work, I'm sure it's not thicker than my mix. If my tank has been sitting unused the oil barely moves when I tip it over lol.

Be sure to post back if you try, we're all adding to the public database ;)

Cool I'll let you know. I actually can't do your trick with the 4 holes because i get my pure gold in the ampule, not a syringe (not sure if tetra sells syringes), so i don't have the precision to drop them into the holes. But I will definitely do the push-button-priming of a couple soft pulses just to get it heated up and flowing. Maybe even put a hair dryer on it upon first fill and let it sit for a half hour or so...figure that should do the trick, or at least I hope. Thanks for info/feedback guys!

Why is it so hard to find a good cart that gives nice clouds with uncut oil? I know eurekas come with those little red carts that have the hard plastic. Those hit really good but I CANT find them anywhere? Any advice? I get ganja gold in syringes and other brands but finding a good empty cart is next to impossible. If anyone can tell me what carts golden xtrx and euerka use? That's what I'm looking for but all dhgate and everyone has are those softer plastic cloudy carts! Hellllllppppp

I can vouch for the K1's. I rarely if ever have a leak or gurgle. I use it with oil slightly thinned with a terpene solution. I've also used it with thinner oil mixes using PEG. Still no issues. I only wish I could find something glass, reliable, with a smaller capacity. Carrying 1.3 ml everywhere seems unnecessary.

Ok so I see what k1s are but does this cart require a thinner like PG? I don't see anyone saying they use pure co2 uncut.

I suspect it would, but don't know for sure. Some mixes I ran through it were so thick the stuff wouldn't move in the tank even when turned upside down.

I also was curious so I picked up a K1 (BVC 1.8ohm) and Tuesday ordered a gram of Golddrops (Gold Drop -- Applicators -- Sour Jilly hybrid 86% THC - this is not gfarma nor tretra). Loaded it uncut and I have been blown away at how well this package works. I've got Carts from Uptech, Gentlemens, VAPED, Gotvapes Saphire, o,pen and although these carts still have their use, for me, all of those carts are going to find a place on the shelf for now. For me, the K1 provides a consistent delivery, great flavor and vapor, no leak, glass tank and the percentage of remaining oil is completely visible. soo many pluses.

Next step is to start playing w other thicker concentrates - I've got CC on hand just in case.

My only question now is what obstacles there might be to rewrap a fresh BVC with Ti2 instead of nichrome. Might take longer to heat up but my understanding is that Ti2 is a healthier alternative. Anyone tried this?

Nice to know. I'll have to pick one up to try it out. Aspire K1 BVC huh? So no leaks at all? :D CAN THIS BE THE HOLY GRAIL WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR?

Please keep us posted on any issues.

So you think the K1 is better then gentlemans saboteur? I've had the best results with that so far, super big clouds.

My bad. I didn't know golddrops is cut. It indicates solvent free anyway and is hi-potency. But I could not find anything on the internet about what the additives are, if any.

Are you talking about Herbsmith essence from Harborside? if so, I don't think its co2. But I have successfully used it in a gotvapes sapphire clearomizer. Loading was a pain, and I can't imagine it will load any easier into the K1. I'll probably try that eventually cuz its quality oil. But next I am going to try gfarma Liquid gold Co2 uncut into a k1 that I have on order. I've got a gram of the liquid gold on hand.

Thanks man I was referring to "the clear" from harborside. It seems to be a highly purged bho as it's definitely not co2 even though they claim solventless because it's so clean. The ganja gold I have is made from hexane and is the same gooey honey oil consistency. I get nice hits from a 1.8ohm gentleman cart so I don't see why this wouldn't work unless the ceramic vertical wick doesn't absorb it enough. Please let me know ASAP how the k1 works with uncut oils and how well it wicks. I really am looking for a good ceramic based cart since the gentleman has a wick. FYI the gold drops are apparently cut with a few types of oils such as coconut and almond according to sticky guide when I simply googled "gold drops thc". So of course, the oil is going to make it perfectly runny and wick really well as I have tried a bhang cart with coconut oil and while it hits amazingly hard the oil ruins the taste IMO. I am sure it's healthier then PG/VG but the taste isn't worth it. Such low ohms on the K1 and a ceramic based wick, I don't see why it wouldn't absorb a thick uncut oil. But if the holes aren't big enough I guess it has a chance of not wicking. I read online somewhere for thicker "juices" the K1 doesn't wick well and oil is beyond juice when it comes to thickness so that scared me away from ordering the K1 until someone can confirm it works and hits hard with uncut oil. I live in NY so the prices I pay for these oils are way too much to experiment beyond the point I already have with burned out cartridges. Please let me know ASAP how the K1 does with an uncut oil. Thanks!

Yeah I am in same boat. Very curious how the K1 handles Pure Gold from Tetra labs specifically which is the exact same consistency as honey... heck we're in the pure gold thread lol.... so if anybody here can confirm a k1 has the ability to wick these super thick honey oils it would be incredibly helpful, especially since gotvapes can no longer stock these sapphires consistently... and @DMPesso I feel your pain brother (or sister) I am out here in NY also and experimenting is just too expensive with the prices we pay out here. It's crazy to think I've been so dependent on a 2.50 piece of equipment (the sapphire) for so long, but it sounds like the k1 could be an upgrade. Would just be a very expensive loss if it didn't work... Also just so you know the gotvapes sapphire are the carts that eureka etc. uses (though branded differently, but same red base). Cheap, but effective, but always sold out....

fyi the gold drops info you found (https://www.stickyguide.com/dispens...ollective/products/gold-drops™-500-mg-thc-oil) is not the one I am vaping. The stuff you found is a tincture and is made to ingest, not vape. This is the one I'm referring to:

Yup I figured they were the same the eurekas hit amazing and I tested them at 1.8 ohms which would explain the dense clouds. It seems we need 1.8 or lower ohms for uncut oil. Hence why the gentleman has been working for me, you should try it. But I'm gonna pull the trigger on the k1 after what notorious just confirmed because the gold drop he put in uncut is the same as what we get. Makes sense it would work, 1.8 ohms and ceramic should wick perfectly ! By the way I'm a guy lol. And out of curiousity if you don't mind sharing what are you paying for a gram of pure gold? I'm getting the ganja gold right now for $80 but I want a different brand already. For what it's worth even though it's different absolute xtracts was one of the strongest brands I ever tried and that was going for 60 for .5 cart out here! On a side note I put some of the honey oil in a source orb double ceramic coil and the ceramic soaked it up very nicely and I got dab sized clouds. I'm gonna make the assumption and say ceramic should be a win since it absorbs the oil. I'm gonna order a few k1s and report back

btw you can get 1.6 ohm BVC carts for the K1. The K1s do come standard w 1.8. I picked up (5) 1.6ohm atomizers for ~$8! just for the reason you mention.

Yea I'm gonna get the 1.6 and start with that just to be sure. I didn't know about that site I usually use vapor authority because they have good customer service but WOV seems to be a dollar or two less. How are they with shipping ?

Can anyone confirm if the K1 has cotton in it? That's a big turn off for me and I read online it has cotton inside not only ceramic!

Edit: I checked online and it seems the k1 DOES have cotton inside. Not sure how good cotton is for thick oils but the gentleman saboteur gives amazing clouds at 4.0 because it uses what I believe is a standard silica wick like the sapphire cart but wrapped in an alloy. If it's cold you need to take a few puffs before you get a cloud to get the oil warmed but with cotton I can imagine this gets worse.

Notorious - have you ever tried the saboteur from gentleman or only the v2? I would love to see how it compares to cotton as I can only imagine cotton is used to save money and not for a better experience, but would love to know before I put any oil in cotton!
