What about full melt bubble hash?
No wont work. too much particulate to clog the wick. needs to be a solvent hash that liquifies. Edit I see dubC answered the question.
Hey what Da Man just said. About the other Man no less.
Let me add to that, complete with a sad story on how to disregard this advice, trash a cart and waste more money than necessary......
Back when I was waiting for my Omicron, I visited my friends at Harborside (Oakland) in search of fodder for the soon to arrive wonder. My request for 'light colored Butane hash oils' was met with several suggestions. Amongst them "Silver Jack Taffy" (55% THC) and "Agent Orange oil" at 69%. Although both were quite dark, I was advised by my friendly Budtenderperson either (along with the two other recommended ones) 'will be great in that Omicron'. Cool. I got all 4 to try. $40 each for the first two.
The first was just like taffy. Solid, a bit sticky, hardly melted at all in the loading tool. I dug over .8 grams back out, lost some to cleanup with IPA, got very little in the cart. But it was enough. The otherwise thin oil that based on the experience I've had with similar oils since getting the unit should work just fine is plagued with feeding issues. I should have cut my losses and never put the oil in. Works for a bit a little then stalls out again. A ten dollar cart, fed recommended stuff costing another forty (although I have some to feed my Eclipse), followed by another forty in what turned out to be smelly but otherwise good oil I don't dare drain and feed to another cart. More stuff for the Eclipse I got the Omicron to avoid.
Lessons learned include sticking to *known* solvent refined oils (I'm sure the 'taffy' was water based looking back), no matter what the cute Budtenderperson tells you. Another is it's real easy to 'throw good money after bad' if you're not careful. I scrapped (basically) a ten dollar cart and $40 of otherwise good oil followed that bad decision. Deftly turning a $40 mistake into a ninety dollar one......not everyone can do that so quickly.
Take the lesson from (other's) history 'or be condemned to repeat their mistakes'.
