Discontinued Minicron, Minicron Lite and Ophos Oil Vaporizers

[Sleepin in CA]

You would be correct my friend, and as always thank you for the mention @Caligula. You really should place an order one day so I can send you some free shit! Lol.

Seriously though, I am still all about rebuilding. I even have like two new wick options.... the Vapin Donut (triton-esque) and the xc-116 braided ceramic. Though I have not tested them thoroughly yet, hence why they are unlisted at this time.

Always playing with something. Just been busy playing with VVPS's and other vapes to properly test them.


=)

 

[Caligula]

Im down with the donut. Let me know how it works out.

@Sleepin in CA

 

[Sleepin in CA]

Will do!

 

[215z]

Hey @Sleepin in CA I rebuilt my KISS cart with an 0.8ohm vapin donut and have been vaping oil off the donut. Do you use some sort of wick material, either below or above your donut?

 

[Sleepin in CA]

@215z

No I have not. Yet. I have not really gone into test mode yet. Just built, verified working, used once and set aside for more pressing matters.

What does the resistance measure on the rebuilt cart?

 

[Caligula]

@Sleepin in CA does the donut require a wick material? I made a SR71 style "puck" out of part of a volcano concentrate pad as per @OF's suggestion for mt E Nano gong. Works well. Maybe something like that would work? Or even a healthstone?

BTW your buddies over at Rumpwax are pissing me off. They keep posting awesome runs that are "for homeies only" and not for sale. Killin' me over here Smalls!

 

[Sleepin in CA]

Yeah I need to play with it more. I built it to play with so I am gonna need to start looking into wicking. I am not super happy with the 1.0 -1.5 VD yet. Time will tell if this is going to be the money resistance like I thought.

We shall see.

Also omicron. Now we are back on topic. Heh.

My wax situation looks to have improved drastically, tomorrow will tell for sure. Gonna meet a new friend from the forum IRL. No naming names though.

Should make for a very good time!

=)

 

[Caligula]

Good.... good.

I'd love to be updated on how the VDs work compared to kanthal and FC-2000.

Edit...once you've thoroughly tested them of course thanks!!

 

[Sleepin in CA]

I have actually abandoned the testing. I am going to continue to rebuild kiss carts, but have sold ALL my UPTech gear at this point. So no handle to test with. Though I have plenty left and could happily include one for a small fee in a rebuild if someone asked.

Personally though, I dont think its an area worth exploring. At least not in this design configuration.

=)

 

[215z]

@Sleepin in CA I ordered the "0.75ohm - 1.00ohm" bundle intending to use it on a mech mod. The "legs" of the donut are non-resistance wire, so the first one I used measured at 0.8ohms, and the built up KISS cart measured the same 0.8ohms. I am going to rebuild it with braided ceramic wick coiled UNDER the donut, to see if I can then load more oil. I use it with the Okeanos because the smoke-free vapor doesn't clog it up the same way smokey vapor does.

 

[Sleepin in CA]

It is a solid idea. For the Okeanos though, the only real improvement I ever saw via cart assembly was through voltage. Using one of my 7.4v rebuilds in the Okeanos was a HUGE improvement. The stock ones still underperform (IMO) in it unfortunately. The rapid vaping of my extra hot builds was beneficial in reducing clogs.

Interested to see how your "cooler" build will do!

I've been enjoying my ophos for a few weeks now using the essential oil cartridge but I'm not getting the performance most people describe saying they only need 3 hits to feel pretty well medicated I usually end up having to take 10-15 double hits to start feeling good

I guess my question would be is there anything I may be doing wrong or maybe I got the wrong type of wax?

I also have the ti kiss cart but wanted the older cart so I could load 1g and be good for a long period of time would I get better results with the kiss?

 

[215z]

If you have the kiss you owe it to yourself to try it. For real.

 

[lonelyhero]

Is it a big enough difference to make it worth abandoning the old cartridge? I really like that it's always ready but I do think I got the wrong oil for it

 

[Caligula]

If the hits are the same size as before but the effect is less, it's the oil or your tolerance.

 

[lonelyhero]

It's definitely not a tolerance I haven't smoked in 4 years prior to buying the ophos mostly due to having to relocate unexpectedly and taking care of my wife who's disabled

Also oddly enough the past few days I've been getting a much better result than the past 3 weeks so now I'm wondering if I overloaded it or hadn't primed it right but I think the wax I loaded was an ice water extract but it's been working nicely for a couple days now so I'm still totally confused

 

[Caligula]

IWEs still have plant matter which can cake up and kill the heater coils. Maybe that's happening here?

 

[bubbha ho-tep]

Hi fc just droping in after 2 months of owning the ophos, just like everyone else said its a game changer, definatly the future of smoking lol, kiss carts are my shit, i abused the first one i had and overloaded it way to much lol but i got another one from vapor warehouse and ive had this one for over a month with no clogging issues other than the "pop" when it clears on the first hit. Witch is normal. The fist kiss cart i was filling the bowl all the way to the top submerging the coil i also like a moron blew back into it... She dident wanna kiss me anymore after that lol.
Now i jus put a little bb size drop on the coil and use a tooth pick to carfully drag the oil across the length of the coil. Then i hit the botton for 1 sec and just when i see it start to melt i hold it upside down and try to make the oil soak on the coil and not get into the bowl,
Then after that i put another small drop of oil on the coil a tiny bit smaller than the first one.
This method seems to give me a good 20-25 hits everytime with zero clogging and minimal puddling in the bowl.

Also had a quick question to ask,
the second kiss cart i ordered from vapor warehouse since the day it arrived has had a slight wiggle to it while on the ophos. Its on tight and all the way threaded but if you push on it it rocks in place. The other kiss cart i have does notdo this though. Any ideas? Kiss cart funtions fine just a slight rock?? Lol its a wonderful device overall.

 

[215z]

@bubbha ho-tep that is how I hit the KISS cart. I don't burn concentrate layed on top of the coil. I prime the wick with melted concentrate, just like you, and vape off the oil in the wick. Nice tasty hits of vapor without smoke!

Greetings! This being my first post on this forum I'd just like to say that I really like what you have got going here! Seems like one of the friendlier and more informative forums out there.

That being said, I have a question I hope to get an answer to, before getting an O-phos pen and this seems like the perfect thread to ask.

The thing is, I'm from Denmark and over here the wax/concentrates we get aren't named in the same way as you Americans seem to name it. We pretty much just go by price to know what we are buying. And oils/shatter/BHO's are really only something people who can afford to make it themselves seem to have.
So as you might imagine, I get very confused as to whether or not I would be able to actually use my local wax in a vape pen, and since vape pens haven't caught on over here, I can't get any local answers.

From what I've been able to gather, the term for it should be pressed, since it comes in nice little blocks. And I just can't find any answers as to whether or not it would liquefy the same way as full melt would.
I can say that the more expensive the product, the softer it gets when it gets in contact with heat (going from a solid block state to a little bit squishy just by having it in your pocket for awhile), I guess it's a sign of a purer product/the way it's made.
I also know that it does melt when you mix it with heated butter or other fats, but from my knowledge that might just be because of the fat itself.
I have pictures I can post of the wax in question so you can see if it looks like something you know that works, but I don't want to break any rules so I will only do so if requested.

It might seem a bit redundant to ask, but I just want to be 100% sure before I order it, because getting it shipped over here costs around the same as the device itself and then there's up to 25% import taxes + the price of getting it out of the post offices hands. Im not too keen on paying that much for something I won't be able to use.
Sorry for the long post for such a simple question, I'm really bad at keeping things brief.

Cheers and thanks in advance!

I love hash pix and look forward to seeing yours. But, by your description, it sounds like a mechanically extracted concentrate, rather than a solvent extracted concentrates.

Pressed hash has plant matter in it that will burn when in contact with heating elements, rather than turn into vapor. You could use the KISS cart to burn hash, but it will need a thorough cleaning after each hit.

Short answer @Frosty Pat I don't think you'll get much use out of it.

That said, the pressed hash you have can be further refined into the wax/oil that Ophos/Omicron owners use. You would use an organic solvent to strip the oils from the hash, and then you would have to remove the solvent used from the resulting concentrate. Ask around in the concentrate forums to see if it is viable for you. You could also email info@propaganja.info and see if they can pair you with an experienced wax maker.

@THC SCIENTIFIC I was just in the process of placing a order and I input the coupon in your signature 'ILIKEUPTECH' and I received the message "The coupon code you entered has been disabled so it can't be used." Any chance the coupon code is going to be re-enabled? I did a dry run purchase about two weeks ago and used the coupon successfully in order to figure out how much funds I would need for the order and was disappointed to see it was no longer working today

I do apologize but the coupon code is no longer available.

Thank you for the answer, went ahead and placed an order for a Omicron Lite because of all the good things being said about it in this thread.
