I believe the standard response is that the Omicron Light has "better electronics" but the two are basically the same? Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
What is the difference between the ophos or the omicron light? I thought the light used the same type of batteries as the omicron, but I was reading the description online and it said it had an usb charger?
I've never tried concentrates before, so I'm looking to pick up an Omicron Light to get my feet wet.
In comparison to the Solo, what can I expect in terms of vapor harshness, density, and draw resistance?
How does the Nibbler X or Okeanos compare with a standalone bubbler like the D020? Portability isn't a huge concern.
As was stated above, the Omicron-Lite and O-Phos are very similar. Main differences being form factor, and the addition of 510 outer threading. Both units (IIRC) use the same non-removable battery and are charged via a standard USB (not micro USB like most non iPhones have) port.

IMO, unless you own e-juice stuff you want to use on the O-Phos, Im thinking the Omicron-Lite is the better buy. Its a tad bit shorter, and you can use almost any of the 3.7v Omicron or Persei carts without having a big gap of exposed outer threading, like with the O-Phos. Only way to avoid that is to buy O-Phos specific carts.
Of course, I'd still rather carry a standard Omicron v2.x with the SS kit (shorter tube and battery for a much shorter overall profile). That way you have the expandability of the beefier Omicron unit as well as removable batteries which is a big bonus IMO... however that's a more pricey option.
Maybe one of these would be the middle ground, assuming you dont need to use it all day between charges?

It even comes with an HVD top and a KISS cart which is pretty badass.
Anyway, the obvious trade off here is much reduced battery life, but the KISS carts sip juice anyway AND it uses removable batteries, so you can have two and hot swap them.
The Solo is mainly a flower vape, so you cant really compare the two. Id say competition for the Omicron Lite would be something like the Dr Dabber, VB Dabbler, BHOLT, etc... Also draw resistance isnt usually a factor with these style carts. That should be about equal across the board.
As for the Nibbler and Okeanos, Ive yet to use them so Ill have to defer to someone like @Sleepin in CA who's the resident pro. I can tell you that using my W9 products through my bubbler is a very pleasing experience though. However, if portability isnt an issue and you already have the bubbler, thats your cheapest and best bet IMO.
Whats the difference between the regular omicron to vs hvd?
the hvd top that comes with that mini, is that click on click off? or hold down button to take hit, then release.
Yes ,you can purchase the different bottom cap from vaporwarehouse. We don't have them up. The longer or standard tube not at this point. I will say this one of the issues the 2.0 version is the tube is kinda finicky and doesn't always thread to other pieces so the 2.0 head seems to work with its tube and that's it . In most of the units not all.can you buy the longer tube separetely as well as the different bottom cap?

Also I only recommend using 2.4 standard carts on them it's when you drop down to 1.5 ohm they have issues. The 2 .0 doesn't like lower ohms.
so I wouldn't be able to thread a 2.0 to a HVD top?
is the hvd top that comes with the mini setup a click on click off or a hold and click while you hit and let go to power off? thanksYou may be able to but some of the v2 tubes didnt thread well with other units. I just want to give you a heads up .
