Received my Oura yesterday. Very good packaging and the unit is super slick. The whole thing kinda smelled like brand new tennis shoes out of the box though. Hope that this odor fades now that it’s separated from the foam packaging.
Easy to set up. Put some water in the glass and it snaps in just like the peak. Touch button operations are super simple, already have every function down. Five presses to turn unit on, three presses to select temperature(don’t need to do every time, previous temp is saved) and then two presses to engage/disengage heater. Hold sensor for battery level light. Heater auto disengages after one minute, while unit auto turns off after four minutes.
I took a handful of dabs last night and the unit is still showing 70%+ battery level lighting.
There are four temperature settings. So far I’m liking the 3rd highest setting, which is the color red. It does heat up in about 5 seconds as advertised but I find even with red it can take a few moments for clouds to really form. I bumped it up to the highest temperature, blue, for a dab or two but it was too hot and created hot and not very good tasting vapor. I kinda wish there was a temperature setting between 3 and 4 but 3 is working fine for me.
The atomizer is a quartz bucket sitting on top of a SS? pancake/skillet coil. It doesn’t seem as efficient at heating the quartz bucket as some of he donut/pancake coils but it does the job. The vapor path does go through some of whatever the outer shell is made of, zinc alloy?, so there was a little tennis shoe flavor at first but it went away after a few dabs. I unscrewed the atomizer from the base to see what it’s all about. It’s a 510 connection like the peak. The vapor path looks like it should be easy to clean if the time comes. I swabbed the quartz bucket clean with a q tip after each dab. The instructions say the whole atomizer disassembles and you can remove the quartz bucket for deep cleaning but I haven’t messed around with that yet. I do notice when swabbing the quartz bucket that it does slightly move around so it’s not snug in the trench that it sits in. It’s held in but it just slightly moves side to side when swabbing. My only concern with this is if concentrate or moisture sneaks in around the bucket and down onto the actual coil, but we’ll just have to wait and see if that happens.
Overall, I’m pleased with my Oura. Quartz brings out the best flavor in concentrate, to me, so this is an ideal erig for that. Now I have something to compliment my brothers Peak and bring some functionality and beauty to the dab seshes.
