Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

[dilvish]

I am a little unclear on what exactly I need, I guess.

My main objectives for all of this are:
1)Have the ability to use an Omicron/SR-74 combo run off of the Core at home @ 7.4v
2)Have the ability to go mobile with the Omicron @ 3.7v

Could I just get this?: http://www.planetvape.ca/omicron-hvd.html

It looks to have everything I would need to hook up to The Core as well as go mobile. Or would I need this in addition to a Omicron v2.5 in order to hit the streets?

Thanks for your patience and guidance, I appreciate it!

i use the sr74x on my omicron with the core every day. works flawlessly. that should work fine for that purpose. as far as going with battery power, the kit in the link you posted only comes with a short tube and 14250s, so your battery life is going to be really short. the one w9 sells (http://www.w9tech.com/omicron-hash-oil-vaporizer-vape-pen-dabber/) comes with the regular tube and two 14650s, which will have much more reasonable battery life than the 14250s.

Can that one do 7.4v through the core? I thought only the hvd version of the omicron top could? Oh, or are you talking about with the 3.7v rod?

the omicron i bought at w9's website (if that is what you're referring to), does do 7.4, and is the hvd version. i usually use the 7.4 rod at 7 volts, and i've never had a problem.

edit: what is hvd anyway? are all omicron v2.x hvd?

So...if I just want to run the Omicron off The Core @ 7.4v and NOT go portable with it, that HVD kit alone would work? Looks like that kit comes with the 7.4v top that I would need for The Core.

Yes all you would need is a HVD top.

Word from the Man himself. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Looks like more of my $$$ is inbound to Granada Hills, lol. Seems to really like it there....

I recently loaded some shatter in my 1.5 ohm cartridge. Was hitting great the first day, but after that its gotten a lot harder to hit. I have to heat it up for a good minute or more to get the vapor production going(Every time.). Also it seems the super hot cartridge is not good for my lungs. Been having worse lung problems then I have had in months after sessions with this shatter.

Are you using the Essential Oil cart? If so, toss it and get yourself some Kiss carts.

That's not really helpful advice...
The EO carts have their place. As nice as the KISS carts are, sometimes having to load every hit or 3 is incredibly inconvenient...

@Lifeisgood
The only thing I can think of is that you managed to vape a majority of your oil that first day? How much did you load up into the cart and how long would that usually last you?
Back when I used them, I noticed that the EO carts would have a 0.1g(ish) buffer zone of oil that would be hard to vape, maybe that is getting vaped off when you're doing the long heatups?

 

[THC SCIENTIFIC]

@Lifeisgood the experianced @Frederick McGuire is right but also some things to consider.

Load .5 - .6 grams no more

Always start inhaling before you start pressing the hit, and keep inhaling a few seconds after you let go, and try to do a few pulls without the button pressed to solidify the oil in their.

The more you use the cartridge of this type the same amount of time might be needed to cool down.

 

[Nube Scrutator]

All that sounds good but I'm done with EO carts. Just too much of a hassle IMO. I manage to get .4g of shatter in a Kiss Mini, tastes great every time too. Also @Lifeisgood mentioned his EO cart is getting fairly hot and messing with his lungs. For that I use the human bubbler method, but thats a whole other story. If your utilizing the EO carts, perhaps moving to a 2.4 ohm would cool things down a bit?

Looking inside the EO carts, the material must flow down and feed the wick on either side. Great for lower viscosity concentrates but not so great for higher like shatter IMO.



Kiss Mini with .4g and size comparisons:

 

[StormyPinkness]

I say switch from the eo carts to the kiss mini. Easier to load, easier to use, and better taste in my opinion. Also easy to iso clean so it's not useless after a certain amount of wax like the eo carts.

When are the new carts flowing out?

Which new carts?

On the w9 site..the alpha c..or is it a joke?

No just wondering which cart ridge you are referring too.

 

[530rasta]

The alpha c...for 59$

Also if I call and order direct from your site is it possible to get a minicron lite with kiss gr2 to carts instead of the basic kiss?

The Kiss Alpha Centauri is designed to run on the Persei and 8, in theory the Omicron can run it but for best performance you need a 18650 battery.

Let me know what exactly is that you want to accomplish and get and I can better help you and explain the differences.

Given that, why is a 601 ego thread included with the Kiss Alpha Centari?

Can't imagine the Ophos would be recommended. Perhaps a matching diameter battery coming to the W9 line? The Kiss (a Cen) appears to be 19-22mm.

The Kiss Alpha Centauri is designed for future needs, given that we rather have it from the beginning saves the end user hassle of purchasing more parts of we ever decide to introduce a new line.

 

[530rasta]

Are the ceramic rods you use in the KISS carts porous?

@THC SCIENTIFIC, I have an Omicron HVD top that is operational, but no longer firing my carts (depressed center pin too far). Do you have an ETA for the next generation of Omicron HVD tops...the ones designed based on the Persei-styled V4 top?

Any advice for pulling out the pin? I seem to be doing more damage than repair at the moment.

Damn...wrong thread, I intended this comment for the Omicron thread. Mods, can you please move?

mod note: As you wish

All you have to do is pull the center pin up maybe 1/2 mm use a small pic to wiggle it up.

As for the next gen Omicron Tops there is no ETA yet, but as always it will go into repair department first then into new units.

I will find out more next week on this project.

Hi All,

I have a Omicron V2.5 I bought about November. I ran only about 3gm shatter through the Kiss cartridge in all that time.

The kiss cartridge stopped making vapor. Ok...these things have a finite lifetime.

So...I bought one of the cartridges you can fill with a gram. That didn't work. Filling it went well, but Very wispy vapor.

OK.. Perhaps I screwed up this cart. So, I bought a new Ti 3.7V Kiss cart. Loaded some shatter, and again, wispy vapor. The concentrate melts, but not enough heat to produce vapor. The coils do not get red hot.

I cleaned all electrical contacts with ISO on a q-tip. That didn't help.

Both my batteries seem OK. One measures 3.7V, the other is 4.0V.

Then, I removed the cartridge from the head unit and measured the voltage at the terminals that contact the cartridge. That voltage was the same as the battery when the button is pressed, as expected.

Can anyone please help a brother out?

Thanks,
D

the voltage of the battery should be the same when in the unit with very minimal loss.

Now what you can do is check the resistance of the cartridge, are you able to do that?



On a side note did prelim testing of Kiss Alpha Centauri with the Omicron HVD with half charged batteries it seemed ok does produce vapor but need to test on fully charged batteries. Now charging batteries and doing the final stage of certification for the Omicron.
