Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

[kertong]

sorry for all the confusion, guys. what makes this confusing is that the batts act like theyre completely healthy. they charge, turn green.. i put it in the omiv2, it blinks 3 times when it connects, button glows and fades as the button is pressed, even after the cart is screwed in. however, there is zero vapor no matter what cart i try. i put the cart on my one good omi v1 batt and it works...

oh and in this case when I am talking about the omi v2 "battery" i am talking about the red 14650 power cell, not the housing unit. The housing unit seems to work fine, the button works as expected. As does the power cell it seems... its just that it puts out no juice for vape, though it charges to full supposedly and lights up the LED accordingly.. maybe if I take it over to TV in a jiffy, the kind folks will be nice enough to test it for me?

Great call, please do so and report back? TIA. My head is spinning on this, I might have to actually hold stuff to 'get my arms around it' at this point. How are you sure the electroincs isn't in trouble? Did you run an Omicron cart on it with the second cell before it met death head on (which is still a mystery since the charger seems to think it's OK......). Help, Mister Wizard....

Just how you kill one of these IMR guys I don't know. Shoot it? Throw it in the Bay? There's no electronics inside to kill (it doesn't need protection, it's that tough on it's own). Lock horns with it and you're going to loose, these guys are used in electric helos. Very few batteries have power enough to lift themselves into the air, let alone scream around like they were jet powered, which is, of course, why they're used here. Push comes to shove, other stuff will likely melt. Bad little mothers in their own right.

FYI TV uses the shorter 14500 cell in the Ultralite, they have boxes of them there for you to destroy in front of them. All that's needed is a spacer 15 cm long (a wad of aluminum foil would probably work for a test). Not to mention they know their Volts and Amps there and no doubt want to get their hands on the LR cart of death.

That is what tells me OF is right, if the light comes on that means the cells are charged and working... I'm actually a bit surprised that the v2 doesn't have protection like the v1?

With ya there, Joe, but right now I'm not sure of my real name.......

I'm sure it will unravel in the end, but right now it's a big old knot for sure. Hopefully that's light up ahead, but keep listening for trains.

Doobies- The taste is the heating element oxidizing and setting into the wick. With the high power carts( I.e. every cart but 2.4 ohm), you need to dry fire them for 3 sec 5-15 times with 30 secs in between each before you fill it the first time. The cleaning process was fixed a while back, and shouldn't be an issue. As for eBay, purchases will not be under warranty(carts aren't anyway). With that known, Delta9Vapes has been good to me, usually on my doorstep in the Midwest in 2 days(cheap shipping), strait from the source, and great customer service. BTW, I had a lot of taste issues, but have had none since THC figured out the pre-fire deal-e-o. Also, he is working on a way to implement it(pre-fire, or pre-oxidize) into production so we don't have to deal with it.
With the cart u filled, when u add more, or empty and add fresh, it should be better.
Best of luck.

Thank you for the info =)

So my question is what omicron and cart do you not need to worry about clogging,over flow, and heating up to much i just wanna blast it ??! i have the omicron v1 and want the omi v2 or the persei but just wondering what one i should buy so im not just buying every omi on the market lol But i love supporting Gary and the THC crew!

That unit doesn't exist yet. all these units require some level of finesse and are not idiot proof.

Yes i have it figured out but i was just wondering and im waiting for the nail and flower carts

With my version 2, when I charge one of my batteries, half way through the charge the red light starts flashing quickly. What does this mean?

 

[kertong]

Ok, just wanted to clarify!

Got back from the the great folks at TV (tim@TV especially). We were stumped for a good 30 minutes!

Turns out, the battery cells themselves are charged, showing voltage, and are totally fine. It's the electronic top of the omicron v2 that's busted. i believe it may have been user error, either me or the person at fatty zone showing the thermovape LV adapter working with the v2, might have overtightened it, and it must've pushed that pin (the + contact inside the omi v2 top) down into the body of the top where it must be grounding out somewhere given enough presure. If you turn on the light, the LED glows normally, but the instant you use say, a wooden chopstick and press down on the + contact in the top, the light immediately starts to blink and turns off after 3 blinks.

So, I'm on the hook vape money wise until I get my apple itunes check this friday, then I'm buying myself a new omi v2. Not expecting THC sci to do a warranty swap since it was user error. Besides they've done so much for me already

I don't agree with you here, I think THC will be happy to replace it under warranty. Well not happy, of course, but I bet they'll consider some defect let that pin get pushed in. You weren't abusing it after all. It's part of the risk that's spread out over all through the warranty system, IMO you should be covered.

What news of the V1 that seemed like it wasn't working? Is it OK now? How about the Atmos unit. You said the only hard fault found was the V2, all else is OK? I'm worried that the other units might not be short circuit protected, but it sounds like the short circuit was inside the V2?

Thanks again for clearing the air.

Oh, I don't doubt G will do that at all! I just don't want to take advantage of him. Trust me, he's done enough for me as it is, what's another $130 or so to support a business I truly believe in? I am one that believes in "voting" with dollars and not dog and pony show ballots.

As for the V1, the center pin was starting to get a little loose from all the iso cleanings and qtippings I"ve been doing, and it was shorting on the edges when pressure was applied. Some carts would work fine, some would not, which made troubleshooting much more difficult. But once I got home I re-insulatd that pin and everything is just dandy now.

And the atmos battery, still no go. I chucked it in the traash - tim checked it with his multimeter and it was dead as a doornail. Ah well, they're cheap to replace. (don't get me wrong, i value my money and don't just throw it away on things like this, but i have an ios program or two that pretty much takes care of all my medication and gear costs so when something breaks.. it is easier for me to let it go).

 

[THC SCIENTIFIC]

Kertong send the unit back let me take a look at it, If its manufactured defect we will replace it.

Im guessing most likely it is.

 

[kertong]

Will do, boss! Will get it wrapped up and sent in this week. Thank you.

Thanks for the update, it's all falling into place now. You had (or at least ended up with) two basic failures, one chronic (the V2) one intermittent (the V1), both showing the same symptoms? No wonder it got so confusing. Finding one fault is usually fairly easy and often follows logic, add a random second failure with the same clues and you can be really up against it. Nasty coincidence to have hit you. I'm real glad the good folks at TV were there to help....good show they won't be sending you a bill. You didn't use your real name or anything dumb like that did you?

Anyway, the 'two failures' solution makes it make sense again.

Thanks again, and congratulations.

Do you guys think there is a need to buy the V2 if I already own the Persei?
I want it anyways.....is it any smaller than the Persei?

Wait a couple of weeks for the O-PHOS

When I get mine I'll do a comparison pic with v2 and the Persei, but yes it is smaller... how much smaller I don't know though.

Wait a couple of weeks for the O-PHOS

The o-phos/v1 is only a little smaller than the v2 but yeah it is the smallest:

I'm having an issue with my Omicron v1.x. It still has a charge, and I can take small rips, but I know the battery is losing its charge. So, I screw it onto the charger, and the light remains solid green. I clean the battery each time, prior to charging. I'm hoping it's my charger that went bad, and hoping its not the battery.

Any suggestions on how to test which is bad, without me possessing a voltmeter?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you're not making contact with the center pin. Some time back somebody reported that his was doing the same thing until he noticed the center pin seemed a little lower than before. He gently pried a bit on the side of it (more wiggling it around than prying it up) and that did the trick. Remember, if you screw it one then plug it in the blue light should flash when it 'sees' the charger, you don't need to depend on the red/green light to see it connect.

Good luck.

Say, if do end up buying a new one why not get a cheap 510 thread charger for e-cigs (four bucks and change last I saw) and the converter THC, TV and others sell? Some guys already have those chargers with 'the wrong threads'.

Thanks, I just pried the pin out a bit, at various lengths, no go. I've got a few friends that I've introduced to the Omi, I'll have to snag a charger and test mine out. If worse comes to worst, I won a 'G-Pen' on twitter the other day, would that charger work with a converter?

hello everyone. anyone have experiences with hearing popping.crackling sounds? is it normal to hear the oil/budder heating up? and i was trying to hearing the sound so i held to button down a bit and a plume of vapor come of from the bottom of the cart where it screws in. did i mess up anything? lol.

Well the sounds are from your oil, smoke coming out the bottom? that can happen if you blow into the cart, or not inhale.

yea thc, i didnt inhale because the sounds startled me so i was listening for it. as long as its normal and not harmal for the cart, im vaping away fine.

the cart was giving me a real hard time all day, but once i took a torch to the cart to heat it up a bit, the cart starting to hit a bit better. is there anywhere i can pick up 1.5 carts at a shop in the west los angeles area?

 

[THC SCIENTIFIC]

West Los Angeles i am not sure.
