The Omni condenser is threaded to the ti mp. They are meant to be threaded together to create one cohesive piece.Anyone have any tips for a new Omni user
The adjustment of airflow lies in the degree with which the mouthpiece threads onto the condenser. If you remove the mp/condenser from the midsection, you will notice that when the mp is fully threaded tight all the way onto the condenser, it's overall length is shorter than if you thread it on to the condenser only enough for it to grab the first thread end of it.
The length to which you adjust you condenser determines the airflow.
You may also notice that the end of the condenser that sits closest to the tip is beveled. As that beveled end mates with the tip, it restricts air from coming into the condenser from the air intake. As the condenser pushes farther into the neck of the tip it further restricts air from the intake until it cuts it off all together.
So, when you adjust the condenser/motor to it's longest length, you will have full restriction. Adjustment to the shortest length creates a fully open airpath. These are the two extremes and you can thread the mp to your desired restriction.
The Omni is meant to be set to your desired restriction and then left. It's not meant to be adjusted as you toke, for example. A new Omni condenser may stick a bit and it may be worth your while to lubricate the orings for a smooth adjustment while it's assembled. However, I suggest that you adjust the condenser before placing it into the midsection.
It's meant to stay mated to the stem. The mouthpiece is meant to fit up tight to the midsection. If you unscrew your mp a bit while it is assembled inside your midsection and it pushes itself away from the midsection, just push it back in until the mp is snug up against it.I guess I’m trying to see if I’m adjusting it right. I see some videos online where the mouthpiece comes out a bit from the stem, and others where it stays mated to the stem,
Try removing the condenser/mp from the midsection and unthread the mp from the condenser as much as possible without the two coming apart. Then push the condenser into the midsection as far as it will go so that the mp sits tight up against the midsection.no matter what way I rotate it, I can’t get 100% air cutoff as if I were fully plugging the carb.
