Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!
Just wanted to check in before the new year with my experience so far with my OmniVap now that I've had it for about 2 weeks. First off. I'd like to thank George (
@VapCap ) for giving us such an awesome device, and Matt and the other guys over there for working so hard to make sure we all received our orders. There was a couple of mishaps, but Matt has sorted out everything so far, and now I await just my DynaStashER from Black Friday that I'm dying to use! Would have loved to get it before Christmas, but the OmniVap kept me good company until it arrives. Patience.... patience.
My OmniVap came assembled in the cocobolo body with the old logo which looks amazing btw, but the new logo on it would have made it perfect IMO as I love how sleek/modern it looks.
First thing I did was to take it a part and see how beautiful the other bodies looked! I'm not sure if this was what other people experienced but trying to take a part everything and reassemble it was way harder than I thought it would be. It took quite a bit of force to remove the mouth piece, condenser and tip. The condenser was especially hard as it literally felt stuck in the body, but it came out eventually along with a few shavings of the cocobolo body as the O-Ring on the condenser wore thin causing the metal part of the condenser to carve against the inside as it was being removed.
I then tried to assemble everything with the blackwood body and it was just as difficult trying to assemble and disassemble that as well. Surprisingly though, the titanium body was a different story. Assembling and disassembling with the TI body was a breeze. Everything went together and came a part as smooth as butter!
Eager to try out this beauty, I loaded it, heated it, and before I knew it.... clouds everywhere! Coming from a MagicFlight Launchbox as my daily driver, my sessions would usually take 3 to 4 draws with me waiting usually 10 minutes between draws to make sure I don't over medicate. But with the OmniVap it usually takes me just 1 or 2 with me stopping midway into a draw sometimes as the vapor generation is ridiculous!
Such a pleasure to use, but one thing I noticed was that the CCD lets through quite a bit of flower with a fine grind, but i didn't have this problem when I just used small chunks without grinding, following in
@Squiby 's footsetps. However, it seemed to me that a fine grind gave a more even and thorough toast, but maybe that's just my imagination. In any case, once I received my order of extra CCDs I took another cue from
@Squiby and made a degummed hemp filter sandwich! (Thanks
@Squiby!) This worked perfectly with a bubbler using the fat mouthpiece on the Omni (need to find a better solution as it's kind of tricky to remove the fat mouth piece sometimes to clear my glass) as the added airflow resistance wasn't too much of a bother, but when used natively however I'm afraid I might pass out as the airflow resistance is just too much when doing mouth to lung pulls. Doing just a mouth pull works, but takes a bit of getting used to though.
Needless to say, overall I'm very happy! Everything looks beautiful and works marvelously and met all my high expectations. I've already packed up my Launchbox gear and will probably try to find it a new home soon, which I'm glad as I hated dealing with recharging batteries. As of now though, I don't believe I'll be switching bodies from the titanium one anytime soon as I don't want to have to change out O-Rings all the time from having them fall a part during assembly/disassembly or maybe I'm just missing something totally obvious. Now I just need to find the perfect lighter to pair with my Omni!
I need that 510 heater mod that
@Pipes was working on!
