Hi all, I've been viewing the forums for a while now and finally became a member because I have some questions/opinions/reviews regarding the omicron v2.5.
I have had the unit for almost a year now. It was a learning curve for a month or so but I seem to have mastered out all the kinks. I don't know if anyone is having the same issues, but you can hopefully aid me. So some back story.
I've noticed the omicron's peak voltage is at 4.24v when fully charged. Once the voltage reaches about 3.9 volts, there is almost no visible vapor, and a battery change is necessary (before the unit blinks and tells you low battery). So I've had to invest in a few additional batteries to keep handy while on trips. (has anyone else experienced this as well?) I've also had to use the 1.5 ohm carts. because with the 2.4 ohm, I haven't got much visible vapor. I've had played around with various consistencies ex. wax, oil, taffy, etc. and I've noticed the wax works the best (melts nice and easy into the cart) but sill need to use the 1.5 ohm. My only issues with the carts is omicron doesn't recommend cleaning them out. What is the issue for this? So many other carts on the market allow you to soak in ISO. I've read here and on the wiki site that users also refill the carts more than once with no known issues. I myself have refilled carts, but after the 2nd or 3rd refill, it starts to get clogged and not user friendly (I can fix it by playing around with it, but it is no fun especially when you need it working at a critical moment and you can't fuss with it) . I find myself after over a year, have gone through 12 carts. Being ten bucks a pop, it is not so economical for me. ( I also make sure the cart typically has no more than .6 in at a time, cart typically weighing a total 8.3 + or - .1 based on cart weight variances.
I have used other carts on my omicron before (ex. pre bought e-cig with 810 thread and liquid e-cig with the 510 thread). Works great.
I am looking for a cart that would work well on the omicron where I would not have to keep buying cart after cart. For example, the top dart loader from thermovape:
Seems like that would work great with the omicron but I am not positive. I've already invested a good amount of money into this device (spare batteries, special mouth pieces, chargers, carts, etc.) and really don't want to change to a new device. Rather just figure out a better cart OR
has anyone had success soaking the cart in ISO, then refilling. OR any other comments to help me out would with my device would be great! Thanks!
