Checking in to say hello!
I've owned a volcano, SSV, VaporBrothers Cannon, and Purple Days - they're all gone now, but I still currently own an MFLB and the Arizer Solo.
I didn't think it could get better than the arizer solo. In my opinion and experience (ymmv), the solo hit almost like the SSV did, but it was portable like the MFLB (just not *as* stealthy but still very useable). With a dab of hash oil, or some kief mixed in with the ground flower in the solo, it was a fantastic way to sit on the couch sipping away to medicate throughout the day.
Oh man. So when I came across the omicron, I was very skeptical when it offered me *both* economy as well as potency. Portable and sneaky, on top of the already outrageous claims? AND on top of it all, the carts are user refillable, with straight oil/wax/bho, no weird flavor or glycol solution?
This thing was promising me the heavens and the stars, there was no way it could be true!
Well, picked one up today from my local collective in san jose. They even took my 2 new carts and filled it with my choice of hash oil / full melts (one with a sativa, ice cream strain, another with a good indica, girl scout cookies). I was *instantly* impressed when I hit the button, took a fast puff, and saw such thick tendrils of vapor clouds, without the warm up time I was so used to on the solo.
I'm only on day 1 so I can't speak for its long term economy use, but I've taken about 20-25 hits from it from the moment I got it (around 12pm), and it has gotten me high again like I am a newbie smoker. I'm a daily mmj user, so 3-4 times a day I'd sit down and power through about 5 or 6 elbows of top shelf flowers and kief. After all that the effects would be slight, the high would last less than 30 minutes, and I'd end up just lazy and slow feeling. I've been a long time cannabis enthusiast for my age (it's been about a decade), so I guess my tolerance has built up pretty high (trying to quit the wake and bake sessions as I've read it'll crank up your tolerance quickly). Because of this, about 50% of the time I was enjoying a session, I was busy grinding flowers, dumping ABV, filling the elbows with a dental pick from the grinder, heating up the batts, etc. I love that the omicron is ready to go and you can go so long between refills. I went through about $400/mo on flowers and kindcaps, and it was getting so expensive and prohibitive. This has been a godsend. Even if I got 200 hits per gram, I'd be amazed.
I'm ready to sell my MFLB and Solo now once my supply of flowers are gone. This thing has changed my life. I almost feel .... empowered. I'll spend less, be more high, and I can have the security of having the high just seconds away in case an anxiety attack comes on while I'm out and about (which is when they happen most frequently).
THANKS, thc scientific. Btw, *love* the futurama references.
Remember that episode about the Popplers, where Lrrr eats that hippie and gets all stoned? "Uhhh... I think there was something in that hippie. Wow, my hands, they're so big. They can touch anything but themselves...... oh."
I'm also a san jose 215 patient, so any other fellow omicron owners out here, a big hello from a happy omicronite! I usually go to elemental or leaf lab, but if you guys have any recommendations on places to get prefilled carts or just some quality oil/wax, tips are appreciated!
