I just go the omni titanium on Friday. I enjoyed it all weekend so far. Just cleaned it for the first time.
Pluses:
- Smooth, creamy, and potent vapor. I feel like one or two well-packed loads gets me more, or as, medicated than one well-packed Pax 2. The flavor is better than Pax, and the last third of the load does not linger on and on and on and on (like crappy burnt popcorn) like a Pax. The omni offers 3 or 4 nice tasty draws then 2 or 3 more and the material is well spent.
- Easy to clean.
- quality feel. It feels like a cross between a piece of jewelry and and a small precision handtool.
- waterproof (water won't ruin the unit).
- heat it many ways from flame to induction.
- very small and light. Hard to damage.
- nostalgic. It really feels like pulling on a tightly rolled joint.
- the stash box is great. Everything you need and the zippo looking torch sticks to the stash when not using. Ground material in one compartment and the omni in the other. Just "stab" the compartment with ground material once or twice and your loaded up.
Minuses:
- not stealth. At least not with a lighter/flame/torch. I don't feel comfortable heating with a flame in open sight in my back yard. As this is in Washinton State. On the other hand, I'll use a pax in front of my neighbors. The flame just can be too easily associated with other drugs.
- I don't find the omni's adjustable air flow helpful or that it really does much. The carb is easy to use, on the other hand, and I just roll with the adjustable air flow all the way closed.
- I get one hit per heat up, unless I rush.
- Can't always hear the click. Bluetooth ear protection or headphones blocks the sound while working outside on the lawn.
- vapor is warm. Definitely soar spot on back of my throat from the heat of the vapor.
- two handed operation, mostly.
- zippo looking lighter uses fuel really quickly because the flame doesnt get very small and fuel tank is tiny. Problem is I think it's the classiest looking and most comfortable in my pocket lighter.
Things to improve, maybe:
- Have a thicker (or just really thick) cap that stays hot for a long time?
- integrate a longer vapor path and heat sink into the stem to help cooling. Hard because need to be able to clean. But I was thinking add another tube within a tube to channel the vapor back and forth from the cap end to the mouthpiece end a couple times before it enters your mouth. Then add some fins for cooling on the stem that double a grips for your fingers.
- sell small portable induction heaters. I like the idea of the heater being separate from the device. This allows some users to marry the non mechanical device with electronics. At the same time, those who don't want electronics and want a simple mechanical device don't have to marry up with an electoral cord.
- a visual clue that the temperature is right. My Springfield 45 (handgun) has a small metal notch pop out when a round is in the chamber. It's a really nice, simple, feature.
Similarly, could the cap on the omni have a small metal piece pop out when it's hot and up to temp?
@Summer, just curious, can you take out the mouthpiece assembly on your MV1 and use the MV1's heater to heat up your Vapcap? My MV1 isn't working but I was thinking the MV1 heater is pretty beefy!
