I use pure gold and have gone through 2 grams trying to get it to work properly. My hits are a longer duration, say 10-15 seconds. The cool down is at least 20 seconds, but usually several minutes. I also have Co2 wax that I use that got clogged and is leaking.

THC,
What is your take on using Noalox (or similar compound) on the threads to ease the process?
...and man am I glad I didn't start off yesterday with my rant about missing the USPS guy by five minutes...small potatoes around these parts.

I got my HVD upgrade on Saturday and just got to use it today. Overall I like the way it increases the hits and has the cool stealth tube, but......
First things that I noticed are cosmetic and not really a problem. When I screw the new HVD top on the long tube the Omicron logo no longer lines up with the button. (Personally I kind of like it hidden).
Also since the HVD top is slightly longer, when it is attached to the long tube, it no longer fits into the fitted slot in the Omicron V2 case. I don't know if I should just customize the case a little to make the fit?
But this last issue seems to be more of a problem to me:
I set it up with the 7.4v with the 2 small batteries and new HVD top and a newly loaded 5ohm cartridge and hit the button once....wow big hit....but the button is still lit and I am not holding it down
what ....huh......FIRE BAD! I have to hit the button again to turn it off? with no instructions or details about this very basic change. This is an accident waiting to happen.
I see that G has generously offered a refund for people that don't like this on/off "feature".
and I appreciate that, but what about giving people a choice of how the on/off button works? Or making a top that you can switch the on/off functions based on your wants or needs at the time. I also appreciate that you are taking care of the end cap issue.
I have to say that I got used to the way the on/off button works for 3.7 sessions with semi experienced users. But when I am running 7.4v on a 2.4ohm and trying to quickly tap the button, or trying to teach a new person how to get a hit...
I really like the HVD upgrade overall as the hits are great with 7.4 and have increase at 3.7 on both 2.4 and 1.5 cartridges and I like the mini tube.
My friend that I bought an upgrade kit for really likes that new on/off switch as he has MS and it is hard for him to hold the button down to take a hit. I like the button too mainly but in my first session over about a half hour, it was left on 3 times by mistake when passing it. Luckily no one was hurt and no cartridges, batteries, oil were destroyed but it could happen....pretty easily, these people are medicated after all
.
What about at least a 30 second safety deadman (medicated) timeout or something switchable on/off from momentary to hold switch?
Anyway sorry for the rant but I overall like the HVD upgrade and don't want to just get a refund, or a 4.2v upgrade but if that is my only option I may have to go that route. Plus I think the current on/off button is a potential problem and should be handled now instead of later. Thanks for your time and all your efforts to get the FC users a good deal on this upgrade. Hopefully this is something that you will consider correcting as I am willing to wait and use the current top but request that we can exchange it for a top that has the momentary on/off function at HVD volts.

1.5 ohm. Room temp over 80 degrees.
I must not have really gotten a good charge the first time around on the mini batteries, after another charge one of those little guys lasted through the late afternoon until I went to bed with a decent amount of use, better then I expected.
I did have an issue watching some TV last night with the HVD top, I must have bumped the button and not realized it, I did when I touched the cart and it was to hot to touch, no idea how long it was on for. Once all cooled the cart hit fine. This was enough to make me get in the habit of locking it once done hitting to prevent accidentally on's.
G, I am happy enough to keep the HVD kit as is for attachments that will come for it. Your offer for bottom caps is great and I would like to take you up on it but will gladly wait until the new unregulated top is available for the V2 and get them in the same package.

IMO from my extensive experience with PG in both 2.4 and 1.5 carts I would respectfully suggest cutting the time you press the button in half and I think you will find the leaks go away.
I would also respectfully suggest you try the persei which can provide the much larger hits you seem to be looking for....
Also once you've overcooked a cart and melted the seals there is no recovery from that. its gonna keep leaking so don't try refilling....

OK, guys, I just braved the PO to get my kit. I decided to be first in line, for all the good it did.
Anyway, here's the next wrinkle in this comic opera....the $35 discount that was on the original invoice has been removed??? Now it was six weeks back and they may have charged the card back then at $50, not the $85 shown on the invoice, but I suggest folks check their paperwork?
I'll open it up in a bit and see what's inside, but right now I'll go do something else for a bit....like look for the CC bill....

Only birdshit and fools
man, I paid full price for this upgrade 
I'm not very happy about what I am reading....G do you plan on offering the momentary button hvd head as an option to those of us that thought thats what we were getting? And when will the right end caps be shipped out? In the future you can send me any new ideas and I'll actually test the stuff for you (free of charge), so we dont run into this problem again.........

I have yet to receive my HVD, damn you PO
So this new HVD got me thinking about the pass-through
If I remember correctly, pictures of the pass through were released and it screwed in the bottom and filled the battery tube. This means it will only work with the Omi V2 battery tube, not the short HVD tube?
If the pass through instead was basically just a recepticle that the HVD / omi v2 top screwed onto, instead of needing the battery tube, it would be much more versatile, and I would bet more would be sold (for people who bought the HVD stand alone, or just want more configuration options)

So here is my problem so far ..... My HVD top does not thread on my V2 ?! Is this the problem we are having? Is it because i got the chrome HVD top and no the black that would match my v2 ? I mean really i have always been running 3.7 anyway and i like the short tube but im wondering because with
the new HVD top not threading on the v2 there is no 7.4
Also i think i got a bad battery ... The one works fine and the other there is nothing but again now on to this charger =/ Gonna need a new charger because these spacers and batteries just fell right out of my charger that came with my v2 and also CAN YOU JUST CHARGE ONE BATTERY AT A TIME ??? I put my batteries in the charger and the light is always green

Try and screw / unscrew it a few times, with a little force. Make sure the threads are clean. Maybe use a drop of oil as suggested, but I personally wouldn't want to add resistance, the threads are used to complete the circuit
My Black HVD top had issues screwing on the battery tube at first, but now it's perfect. Maybe the chrome has even less clearance?

if oil doesn't help, DO NOT FORCE IT! mine is a shredded mess from doing so.So here is my problem so far ..... My HVD top does not thread on my V2 ?! Is this the problem we are having?

Well im thinking so since ii wont even start to thread on the HVD on my black v2 tube and im not forcing shit fuck that im not breaking my HVD im happy with the 3.7 for now or until this gets fix
and waiting sucks so but it seems like a new v2 tube might need to be made now for this mistake

doubt it, will have to send the head back to get one where the threads aren't chromed instead. the tube is fine. the head is the prob. could be and have been wrong b4 tho.Well im thinking so since i cant even start the to thread on the HVD on my black v2 tube and im not forcing shit fuck that im not breaking my HVD im happy with the 3.7 for now or until this gets fix
Yeah that doesn't sound good, mine started threading so I could tell it wouldn't cross-thread before I had to give it a bit of force, then it got too stuck, so I pulled out out, then tried again and made it further, now it's totally fine.
If it won't even start threading that's a whole other story
Edit: Bob (love your name btw, Arrested Development rocks!) I'm pretty sure you are right. The issue is with the HVD top, not the omi tube. Try the Omi top on the HVD tube, it will work because the short tube has less tolerance, but the HVD top has issues screwing on to the long Omi tube.

Yes my v2 top screws right onto the chrome HVD tube =) none of the markings line up. Also i wont hurt the HVD tube or cap if i use the v2 top correct ? since the v2 head runs only 3.7

Terps Up, Temps Down
Picked up my Black HVD from the PO today and had no problems screwing it into the battery. So far, I've only used the standard 3.7v battery with the HVD top for unregulated hits and man, what a difference it makes in the way both the 1.5 ohm carts and the ego-w carts hit!
I still have a question about ohms and carts, though. With the regulated top, the 1.5 ohm carts produced the biggest clouds. With the HVD, what would be the equivalent and what would be the benefit of having a higher ohm cart as opposed to lower ohm one?
