Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

Its posts like these that sell the product , in THC we trust!

Ain't it the truth?

What a huge difference between here and the Atmos Raw adventure? That exact same 'I love this product' post over there does not mean what this one does it seems. Every time things slow up or turn south and some guy with 3 posts comes on to sing their praises it seem to have less and less effect. Here, OTOH, it's seen as the plain truth because I think it fits in with folks' experiences?

But for whatever reason I agree, THC is in it for the long haul and plans to continue to make their business supplying gear to folks that does well what is needed....and backing that up each and every time. Easy to have confidence in such an outfit to do it again and again on new products (when they are ready.....).

i would like to see a picture of battery charger and battery position in charger. The one I received on Friday has no markings etc.. positive negative. Hard to know how to recharge battery.

Let's try it with words first?

I assume you have the same unit I have two of from THC (or the photo would be useless....). Hold it with the swing out plug at the back, single LED upward and the logo isn't upside down. This will put the sliding contacts down in the slots. Positive is up. The sliding contact is the negative.

If you look in the bottom of the slots, you'll see they're numbered 1 and 2. Actually either will do, they are the same and connected together inside. At the top of the slot (above that number) you'll find the positive (+) mark.

That do it?

Thanks I don't have any numbered slots or positive Marks but at least i know positive goes to top near light. thanks. Anyone ever weight empty cartridge? I think it was 7.3 g . Also I got the 2.4 cartridge. If I dont feel I am getting large enough hits doing 4-5 8 second rips should i go for the 1.2? Also I read on wiki light is to blink after 7 seconds but mine does not do that. Also is there a way to prevent button turning on when carrying in pocket? Or just take battery out>
Thanks

we are waiting for out webguy to update the manuals online, hes currently on vacation.

We will take a look on the Omicron and figure this out, currently our warranty issue on the Omicron is about 0.8%, not bad for a first edition. Looking to drop this to 0.4% when upgraded omicrons kick into gear.
So if i bought omicron last week I dont have the upgraded one??

does anyone know if the standard omicron mouthpiece (the black "sleek looking"one) is the same one on delta9...the 6 pack drip tip ones?
it is not. had a conversation a few pages back on this. D9 will be selling the same mouthpieces (metal, sleek) as the omi v2 in 5 packs in the next few weeks. waiting for them to come back from production. the ones currently on the site are a heat resistant plastic. they work well as well

Funny no markings, they're faint but definitely there under good light? No matter.

I weigh most of my empties when loading (to control load weight). I've never seen one that low. The one I'm loading right now is 7.689 grams a bit under average? The one before 7.780. These are 2.4 Ohms.

Sorry you're not happy with 'the rips'. IMO you should master the 2.4 first, but I suspect that's not what you want to hear. Yes 1.5 (note the correct value) will product more vapor per unit time by something like 50% IIRC but it's also 'harder to fly well' IMO. It's easier to trash a 1.5 cart as well. Your call, and your drugs for that matter.

You might want to read the wiki page again. After seven seconds it times out (assuming we're talking V1, V2 doesn't time out), the light goes out and is locked out for several seconds. No blinking. Blinking lights in use mean dead battery. You get several such warnings then it locks out until recharged. None blink after 7 seconds AFAIK.

If you have a very late production V1 or V2 it should disable with five rapid button presses, it answers back with 3 flashes and is dead to the world until another five rapid presses.

What model do you have, your question is really spanning simple answers......

ok thanks. ive got one of these and never use it. ive got an UltraFire WF-188 that gets used almost exclusively and an TrustFire TR-001 of which seems very finicky when it comes to connections.

My bad, at a closer look, I think its the exact one.

yeah i was looking at it again and was starting to wonder. i was going to not use it because it just seems cheap compared to my other chargers. but if users are having good experiences with it then maybe ill keep it in my vehicle so im never w/out a charger.

Thanks I did reread wiki and see there is no seven second flash on V2. As far as models go it is as recent as u can get ordeing it last week. My cartridge is at 7.9g I am wondering when u add more or if u try to drain completely (hoping to get more out of one cartridge. Are u weighing with mouth piece on?
Also I am having to take 5 -10 second draws to get nice vape so do u tinc the 1.4 would be right.
I assume if u do 5 button pushes that means a gram would give u 40-80 hits vs 200-400 if u did a single push.

positive would be up top... or towards the LED

thats what i would think. in fact i have charged 2 18350s when i first got it. they charged fine. the positive is fixed contacts and the negative is the spring loaded contacts... make sense?

That is what mine looks like and there are no positive negative markings. So would positive go to the logo side?

Check the model number in on the back of your unit. Mine is HG 1206W. The one in the web page is AG 126. In either case it looks like the positive is toward the LED, negative on the sliding part.

Well it's either the same, or they haven't updated their picture:

But this makes me wonder... I'll have to open mine up and see:
New updated version. Has two independent charging channels for Li-Ion batteries

Yes, thanks for the additonal info. More pieces falling into place. That model is as up to date as possible. The prototypes for the update haven't been made AFAIK. That model is the same as everyone else (including me) has. The connector at the top is being strengthened (at least one failed) which is what brought on all this stabbing of things G has been doing.....seems there's a new 'ice pick standard' being developed. There's also a design issue you should be aware of. The new heads will raise the allowed output voltage. Right now it's limited to 3.3 Volts for the 2.4 Ohm carts, but 'only' 3.0 for the 1.5s (again, please note the correct value). The 1.5s will 'hit harder' than 2.4s today, but even harder when the upgraded tops come out. BTW, keep an eye open, G promised a brief discount on the upgrade for early adopters on the forum, but it's only for like a week when it happens.

If your cart is down to 7.9 grams it's most likely empty. You can't get the last few tenths out at all and the few before that can be getting weak. In general, when I get under 8.0 I put another half gram in. Overfilling is bad (I tried it.....good if you like leaks....) but running it low isn't good for you or the cart. Absent other data, I think it might be time to buy more and put it in? I assume it worked better before?

How many hits is a subjective area, very hard to tie down. PG, for instance, seems to go about 3 times as fast as some of the harder stuff I've tried. Hit for hit. To really tell you're going to need a scale a couple of of orders of magnitude better I think. For sure you need to accurately read ..01 gram steps, better still .001. There are a lot of 10 gram range (plenty for this) scales around for under $20, I'd add one to the list if you really want to get into the fine points.

So no, I don't advise draining the cart, you likely will get very little out if you're down to your last few hundred mg. Likewise, I still recommend mastering the 2.4 ohm carts first........ Fell free to ask again if you want?

hey check out this charger

http://www.batteryjunction.com/smx-intellicharge-i4.html

looks solid. i love the charge levels for each channel.

thoughts?

Yes, the lack of two indicators on the factory charger is a tip off there's only one channel.

I looked at this one, but I can't recall what the reported problem was.....trouble deciding if it had NiCds in it? I know I was looking for something that also did 3.2 Volts for the LiFePO4s but something 'scared me away' from the four channel unit here...

I ended up with the 188 to replace my older unit.

Sorry to not have specifics, but you might want to look into some reviews before sending money?

Good luck.

will do. thanks for the heads up. im also looking into the XTAR charger seen here.

http://www.orbtronic.com/batteries-...-18650-14500-cr123-3.7v-batteries-xtar-wp2-II

as for the other charger discussed above... i looked at mine it is also the HG-1206W. so i suppose i do have the same one that ships with the Omi V2 kit. i wasnt using it because i thought it may have been junk, but if V2 owners are getting good results then ill likely start to use it.
