Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

[tharealmclovin]

Anyone have tips for 5ohms. I thought I did everything normally filling and priming but after my first hit, it fried and wont warm up

 

[OF]

I believe the features were added for use with the Hammer, not the nail cart.

Thank you, you're right, having neither the distinction gets lost. The one that looks like a nail and gets hot.....

Then again, the nail cart isn't out yet, right? I could be right in the future? Naw.......

hallo all, haven't posted in awhile on the hvd issue, just wanted to say that, as always, THC Sci went above and beyond fixing my shredded hvd top and v2 tube. replaced both in their entirety. also have a v2.5 head with my new v2 as well as all my bottom caps. prefer the hvd top on the hvd unit as it seems to sag a little in power compared w/ 14-500&650. means it usually needs a little warm up time so it's nice not having to hold the button down. also like using it w/ the long tube and a 14500, spring cap, and dart. dart usually needs that warm up time as well and needs that higher power.

EDiT -

We might have a few used ones, but in mint condition, next time you place an order drop a note in it, let me see what i can do.

done, and done. needed another wf-188 for my friend who i sold one of my extra hvds to. forgot i needed that for the 3v batts, duh. thanks again!

We would like to announce that we have hired a Third Engineer that has been working in the vaporizer industry for the past 5 years. He is local and in house. He is going to help us out with some of the issues we are having and help produce some of the best vaporizers out their.


Also There are now knock off's of our our cartridges floating around, make sure that it has the W9 Tech Printed on it. Dont let knock off companies put another tax paying business out of business, we employ over 12+ people and continue to research and develop. Thanks for your support.

Bob, the "warm up" is just what I needed! I tried this with the V2 but it still didn't do the trick for me but a big WOW using the V2.5 or the HVD.

 

[Silvercloud538]

Heads up to O_PHOS players since it's easy to bypass battery maintenance ( cleaning)

since one can take steady voltage (hi-capacity/current) for granted ,thus having more

*'ooze capability' than V2.0,V2.5 w/wo HVD ~ Psst* only infrequent cleaning necessary

Cart started to under warm ,bringing expiration to mind since it's a veteran ; but iso/swab

said dif ,bringing cloud cover once again

So this weekend was the last straw for my hvd top, I like it in lv with a long tube for battery life, but it decided to come on in my pocket once again, I look down and see vape coming from my pocket and am uncomfortable burning feeling on the leg and said thats it, I'm done with this thing! I got a 510 to m601 adapter and a variable voltage passthrough battery for an ecig. I'll never use a omicron head again. This thing puts out 4.15v or you can switch it to 3.7 it is allot smaller in diameter, batterys last for a long ass time, it functions as a passthrough with a usb cable, hits waaay harder than either v2 or hvd, its only $25.00, and it is an ecig, so its more stealth. Ill put up some pics shortly. and G, I still have not recieved my new cap for the hvd

 

[vishus650]

^ why wouldn't you just take the battery out of the unit until you use it? makes sense to me if you dont want it to turn on unexpectedly. and its not like a huge deal to take and put a battery in, maybe 20 seconds tops lol

and WHEN that e-cig doesnt work too well in a couple months, email the company and get it fixed or replaced. good luck n even getting a response from them lol

have you looked at the o-phos? basically the same thing, but warrantied and larger= more battery life. just a suggestion

HVD Lock Fix

It blinks whenever the battery is disconnected and reconnected.

I did however, just discover a fix.


For the 7.4v do this:

Unscrew the (extended) bottom cap from the body a couple times
Drop a metal battery charging spacer in from the top (plus side up, shake it if you need)
Drop your two tiny batteries in
Compress the batteries by screwing the top down the whole way
Now screw down your bottom cap until you feel it snug up on the batteries inside


The fix for the 3.7v long is a bit trickier:

Since the battery charging spacer is too thick
We need to find washers that fit around the bottom cap's center post
I found some great ones that were labeled 10-32 that measure 5.2mm ID and 12mm OD
But anything with a center hole larger than 5mm and a diameter of less than 14mm should work
Now stack them on the center post so the tip sticks out like the charging spacer tip (5 washers for me)
Load batteries from the bottom this time, screw the cap down until it snugs up
If the cap screws down all the way add more washers, you want it nice and snug on the battery itself


Your hvd lock function will now work

haha perhaps the most quoted post in this thread?

no o-pos for me, I'm done.... I have over $200 in omicron tops, tubes, and caps. And still waiting on the small one for hvd
they are all weak compared to the hits you get at 4.2 with the $20piece of chinese crap. Not to mention no pocket scares, built in time out, PASSTHROUGH, working lock mode, variable voltage by button click/not fussing with batteries and spacers to get the desired voltage, and its usb charged.

 

[kushcabbage]

looks like a gentleman's brand vape, I use one occasionally for a dart, but these things do get very hot. I couldn't ever get my on off function to work though. but even still I'd still recommend an o-phos to this, looks like your still using omi carts though

 

[jambandphan03]

I read a few pages back that the HVD tops are going to be recalled, so I ordered the $10 v2.5 top. I don't know why there is delay on having us send them back though, if there is a hazard present (i.e. pocket burns) or other possible hazardous situations. I would be calling them back ASAP so more problems didn't sneak in. Either way we will be sending them in at some point, there will be some delay in being able to properly use the HVD top. Why wait and leave room for mishaps? Also wondering how the customers who possibly don't read this forum often will be notified?

 

[kushcabbage]

lol or what if I don't want to send it back?

Some times the Omicron is not for everyone. I would suggest you contact support to see if we sent out a cap to you.

As far as us replacing the tops its going to happen but takes time to redo the IC and manufacture it.

Majority of people who have the HVD are people who got it on the discount and on FC. The others will be notified through their retail outlets.

 

[jambandphan03]

thanks for the quick reply G! I'll have the purple V2.5 very soon...

 

[tharealmclovin]

Anyone have any issues with 5 ohms on the HVD???

Dont get me wrong G, I love the omicron, its a keeper.... Just not a keeper in my pocket. And I have opened tickets and pmd you on here too. I tried to order the v2.5 replacment top last week, but got a weird email from you saying my purchase was refunded, because you were having problems with your website. on top of that you wanted $13 just to ship the new top. I paid $130 for my regulated v2, another $80 for the hvd, and now another $20 for a head. Sorry man, I can spend $10 on a cart and $25 for the complete vv pasthrough and have a superior set up for under $40. I will buy the herc carts once they are out. I really like what you have done for the vape community, but please for your businesses sake just try one of these batteries out, they really do kick ass. And I'll hit up customer service again about the cap.

 

[tharealmclovin]

how is your setup Variable Voltage???

Im not sure if you understand what that term means

 

[OF]

I really like what you have done for the vape community, but please for your businesses sake just try one of these batteries out, they really do kick ass.

I hope it doesn't surprise you too much that this has been done a lot, starting several years back. Many of us (I've tried 5 different models myself) have some good luck with them in some cases, most have found low end units like you suggest not up to the heavy service needed. Their lifetime is short, they often seem to die on the owners without warning. The V1 was built to address some of this. V2 to address some of the remaining weaknesses and respond to customer requests over time.

Notice a key feature of the V2 and Persei is not found on 'better' e-cig supplies, no time out. The typical 8 or so second time out to protect e-cigs and against law suits is just not a good thing with Omicron carts, guys with V1s complained bitterly about this. While I wasn't all that vocal about that problem, it is the main reason I bought a V2 (owning several V1s and a few others already). That and being able to switch batteries when it dies (always when not convenient....). "To each his own" as they say?

Good luck with your unit, but please don't be concerned about to obvious being overlooked. Not only has it been noticed, it's been tried to death.....literally.

The eGo-t has a selectable output voltage. Either 3.3 3.7 or 4.2v
Depending on how much voltage you want. So eGo-t has roughly .5v higher output,
this is the same difference between the v2 and the unregulated top(v2.5 or hvd at 3.7)
It is very obvious

So, have you actually measure this under load? I haven't but V2.5 and HVD put out 4.2 Volts with no load and both are over 3.8 driving 2.4 Ohm loads and measure 3.65 and 3.67 driving 1.5s. I'm not sure it leaves many guys wanting.

And you answered TRM's question without answering it, this is not a variable voltage unit (as they are defined in this industry) but (quoting you) "has a selectable output voltage. Either 3.3 3.7 or 4.2v" For instance the VV heads I'm using right now go from 3.0 to 6.0 from either a single 18650 or 18350 depending on model. Selectable output is nice, but not the same as variable.

Really? Ok..... So your omicron output with a fresh battery is 3.7 volts right?

No worries, the difference being variable voltage, I prefer the timeout when using it at 4.2v,
you dont need to hold the button anywhere near that long, the main reason I prefer it over the omicron, plus if you hand it off to a friend you can rest at ease, knowing they arent gonna leave it on and put it down, ruining your cart and killing the battery for the eve in one shot

 

[kushcabbage]

Hey G, are the 2.4 for 3.7 volt carts coming back to the site anytime soon? it's either those or the hercules/nail carts
