I am interested in an omicron, and i have read that you should put about 0.5 of oil in the cart when you fill it. My concern is that i will not use the the entire 0.5 in one night. It may take me a week to go through 0.5. Is it ok for the oil to sit in the cart for that long and use it a few times a day for about 7 days or will i be losing material.
Also about how many pulls would you say you get off of 0.5 (or one fill) and how many fills does each last before you cannot use them anymore.
Thanks
No problem leaving it loaded, I've got carts loaded for 6 months or more, provided the concentrate is stable, it's still stable.
Your usage will depend on how big a hit you're taking and on the concentrate. Thin stuff like PG goes fast, hard stuff like shatters go more slowly. For most 200 to 400 hits per gram is a good number to use IMO. I did a careful test a while ago with nice CO2 oil ('medium thick'), taking timed 10 second hits as full as I could make them ran just about 5 mg per over many dozens. So 100 hits to your half a gram minimum would be my guess?
Cart life depends on not being abused (dry burns, overheating while loading) and concentrate quality. Some are so full of plant material they don't work at all. Some go a very long time (6 or 8 grams), but 2 or 3 grams is probably a good number for planning purposes. I load half grams at a time and retire the cart when it gets too slow rather than by volume of use.
