Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils
- Thread starter THC SCIENTIFIC
- Start date
i haven't bought either but have been researching both and was basically wondering the same thing
Only reason we are not releasing the Hercules 3.7v Version is because we are waiting on one part to make it work with oi. Otherwise its ready to get pre ordered.
Also Pass through for the Omicron is in the works, 1701's are still live and kicking, we have a few other parts for the Omicron coming along fine. We are not leaving the unit that help start this industry and become to go to pen vape out there. Just need some time to figure out whats going on with the 3.7v.
Edit because i wanted to try something. UpDate.
But i got oil to vape on 3.7v and thats at 3.7v with pass through on a Persei. I would say about the same as a 2.4 ohm cart. We shall see more testing needed on batteries. Charging up the 3.7v AW 18650 now.

Buy the Persei. It will satisfy all your medicating needs.
If I had it all to do over, I would have saved the money spent for the Omicron, the v2 upgrade, the HVD upgrade and the v2.5 upgrade and purchased the Persei. Oh well, live and learn.
Please dont count out the Omicron v2 just yet.

I guess that depends on the owner. For myself, Omicron gets a lot more use than Persei. The only thing I get Persei out for is the Bender right now. Otherwise Persei does just fine in a much more handy package.

seriously, the HVD replacement is in effect for the black ones, he's trying to make the cart work on the omicron, if it's that big of an issue for ya, then trade in for the persei? personally, i am tired of the whole "we've been left out in the cold, us omicron users." it's not true, your omicron does everything it's supposed to, new stuff is being worked on. the iris is just being released and that was announced almost a year ago. shit takes time. my two cents

I would if trade ins were an option, which they aren't. The only trade in offers were for NON D9V products only.
NO the Omicron does not do everything it's supposed to (or that it was promised to do).Bob Loblaw said:
If the Omicron was indeed hailed as the beginnings of the 'high end Gpen' revolution, it should be on par with the Persei's evolution right now and it isn't. D9V blew their load all over the 7.4v research which increased Perei's sales while the groundbreaking Omicron sat like the ugly redheaded stepchild in the corner waiting for news shoes.

first, it does exactly what it promised to do, if you don't like it go suck on a gpen.
your expectations are just that. ones that don't match up to everyone else's.
second as G JUST SAID, the 1701's are almost to production. those are for the omicron.
third, as G also JUST SAID, he is still working on getting the herc cart to work for oils at 3.7v.
here's he's most recent update from the persei thread.
how is all of that equal "ugly redheaded stepchild"? which i actually take some offense to as i am ugly, redheaded and have 2 stepfathers. none of them mistreated me.
also found this from cheese sandwich in the persei thread.
Indeed! I emailed planetvape.ca (as im in canada)the other day to see if they had an upgrade program similar to Delta9's...
They sure do. I paid $140 for a persei because i had purchased my ophos there earlier this year!So i ordered myself a persei and pre-ordered the Herc, cant wait
If you're in canada they are great to deal with because of the faster shipping times.
even if this still doesn't apply to you, you can't say that the whole world is against you.
i would say that if that isn't enough perspective to satisfy you that the problem may be on ur end. regardless, we have all heard your opinion. and counter-argument, so if you have nothing actually new to add, can we please move on?
thanks

I'm sorry, I guess I missed the 'missed promises', which were those please? TIA.
I also kinda got lost following the logic. Didn't we customers demand more power from Omicron carts, prompting Persei with 7.4 batteries to drive them? Then didn't THC (now D9) update Omicron with new electronics and a different tube and battery set up so it too could drive the high output carts? I don't recall that part being part of the deal when I bought my Omicrons (either V1 or V2). I see expansion in the product line. Perhaps some hopes for future stuff (like say Universe) didn't pan out, I have to agree with Bob (no surprise there I guess) I got what I paid for.....at least I think I did. What did I miss?

Hey guys,
My town was just destroyed by Hurricane Sandy and we have been left without electricity, water, and sewers for at least the next two weeks. My house flooded and my drum room and drums (my means of making a living) are destroyed. The National Guard has evacuated the island and I am currently staying with family in Brooklyn. I just wanted to say that my Omicron v2 has been helping me conserve the little oil I have and maintain my sanity while being stuck in one of the shittiest moments of my entire life. Thanks for your amazing innovation, G. Truly a life saver and I can't wait to move onto the Persei in a few weeks. I hope the rest of you that were in the path of the storm are safe and sound.

Sending you positive vibes from Cali! I hope you are able to get home (or make a new one) soon. These events are awful and I can only try and imagine what you are going through. I hope you at least get to enjoy NYC some.
Sorry to hear brotha, let me know if i can help in any way man.
Been there done that it is no fun recovering from a hurricane. Be safe and hope u can get some FEMA cash to replace drums. Flooding is worse loss as they dont cover much.
It takes years for areas to rebuild and get back to normal. If you can move to another area might be best thing to do for a few months till life returns to normal.
Feeling your pain and hope everyone effected can find calm after the storm....

Yes, in this case, we are very lucky the storm was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it made landfall and didnt remain a CAT 1 hurricane. Not many people have flood/hurricane insurance, and there is no such thing as tropical storm insurance, so many lucked out (not the insurance co) and are covered. I know a lot of people on LBI that at least have that going for them, my girls family for one.
Major damage around my parts too, mostly from more trees than ive ever seen laying on their sides, and power lines... word on the street is some places won't have power till mid Nov.
KB, stay in there man, good always comes around, and things always get better, good luck
I charged up batteries for days for my Omi at my buddies place with a generator on monday
keepin me sane too

Thanks man. It's going to be a rough time, but I truly believe that my town will rebuild stronger than ever. Long Beach NY is a special place.
The latest update is that Long Beach will be uninhabitable for up to a month. My world is upside down right now. I'm just fortunate enough to have family in Brooklyn to stay with, so I can charge my Omicron batteries and laptop.
I appreciate the offer, G. I'm going to have a next to impossible time making and purging oil for the next month. If you could help me out on a Bender for flower, I would be forever in your debt. If not, I completely understand. I'm just eager for my Persei to get here (ordered it to be sent along with the Hercules and Iris pre-orders once they're ready) so I can start vaping flower asap. Stress is heavy and the stash is light!
Thanks to everyone here for the positive vibes. Much love and vapor!

You can say that again, it's where I met my wife! At the Malibu nightclub right on the beach in 1992 (long gone, long before the storm). Now that we are in LA we go to Malibu beach and think about Long Beach NY. I'm a Hofstra grad so I have a special place in my heart for LI and NYC. You'll get through this and be stronger for it.
Peace.

Thank you for putting my own level of purchasing in perspective!
You have a serious collection there!

Must be nice to have a disposable income to afford this.

Bob, I worry about you.....and I'm sure I'm not alone....
Yes, it is. I hope some day you will have worked hard and spent wisely so you can enjoy such freedom as well. IMO it's the way it should be, really. Gives stuff real value.
FWIW IMO "disposable income" is a BS idea. Nobody throws money away (well some do....). One of the traditional views of economy is 'scarcity and allocation'. Money is always scarce (non existent if you have kids...), it's how you allocate that scarce resource that's the rub. I don't really begrudge the guy with the flashy new car, rather I enjoy what I buy instead of that. I have money for all the toys I want because I didn't waste it on foolishness like food and rent.....and because my dreams don't exceed my reach. To some extent I think we all have that, should we care for it?
Long ago I decided I'll never have 'enough' money, but will always have plenty? It's mostly an attitude.
And not to forget the timeless advice of Freewheelin' Franklin, "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope'". Words to live by.

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what type of wax I should be looking for so I get the most efficiency out of the Omicron v2. I used to get what was called Green Train Amber Hash Oil for a good couple of months but the club I went to in Oakland no longer has them in stock. I'm mainly looking for sativa types so is there a certain type of density and/or color I should be looking out for in waxes/oils that would flow nicely and wouldn't cause too much clogging/leaking if possible?
he with the most toys when they die win.........
I just wondering if you use each one daily. If so u might have a problem.....

Thank you for putting my own level of purchasing in perspective!
glad i could help. actually i have bought 2 more persei, 4 more o-phos, another HVD and 2 omicrons. those all went to loving homes. some of these will probably go the same way it is. after living at the poverty line and on the edge of if not completely homeless from 15 to 25, i figured out how to live within my means. 2 yrs. ago this thanksgiving my mom passed from cancer. when she passed she left me some money with her life insurance. some went to bills, some went for school and some went for vapes. so while it is NICE being able to afford this stuff, it isn't NICE that i had to lose my mom and would trade all of them and everything else to have her back. one of those situations where she was the only family member who understood me. if it makes you feel better to take the jealous route, that is of course your choice, but passive/aggressively trying to call me an elitist or 1% makes you both wrong and (if you knew me) laughable. i am a class warrior. i grew up w/ nothing but the countries richest douche's so i know what money does to a person. also living w/out it for so long i know also what poverty does, so i take your bitterness with that grain of sand. i hope you too find all that you need here.
agreed, agreed, and agreed. i thank you for ur concern and will add it to the pile
love the quote
you are best using a stable, clearer wax. the cleaner, the better. too liquid, like pure gold, and you want to stick with the 2.4 or 3 ohm carts and if it's really hard, like shatter go w/ the 1.5 ohm. hope that helps!
he with the most toys when they die win.........
I just wondering if you use each one daily. If so u might have a problem.....
lol, if you have more oil vapes than fingers, you might have VAS. nah, they don't all get used daily, but they do all get used. EDiT - oh, and yea, i do have problems, more than a few, and intake is on that list, but not too high
that is a long tube SS w/ two adapters and darts. the smaller piece in that black box on the left is a normal Revolution battery from thermovape.
glad you all enjoy! if you don't watch the persei thread (i have a video of this pic there) you can link to my youtube and watch a tour of these pieces from there!
EDiT-
also a big shout out to D9, THC SCi, W9, and/or UP. i got my HVDs back as well as two broke O-PHOS and 3 faulty persei heads back and in tip top shape. got all my gear back so it was time for a family photo!

Really???? I worked very hard for 48 years every day to be sidelined by a permanent disability. My 401Ks, IRAs and other investments literally vanished in 2006. I sold my house and exhausted my savings to pay my medical bills and I've lived the last 3 years on $1264. a month from Social Security. My days of having a disposable income have passed.
It took me 6 months of stashing a dollar here and a 5 there to buy a v1 Omicron. My daughter bought me the HVD upgrade for my birthday. My son supplies me with the product to put in the Omi for free.
I don't want anybody's pity, but I also don't want to be talked down to either.
