No one is answering under the Ask Fuck Combustion heading. What is the difference between the O-Phos and the Omicron Light. Is it purely the heat shield and cosmetics, or is there someway in which the Omicron Light is a meaningful upgrade from the O-Phos. I'm thinking of getting either an O-Phos or Omicron Light, and I kind of like the appearance of the O-Phos better.

light has better electronics, ophos has shield.

Does it really? I want aware of that, I thought the light was just a straight replacement for the o-phos. maybe a different shaped battery and without the heat shield, but both appear to be full flow voltage (no voltage regulation like you get with the v2) pass through battery

Ok that makes more sense to me

V2 is regulated? I sure don't recall that from my testing. If it was regulated you wouldn't get the power boost switching to the IMR 14500, right? Did something (else) get by me? Did D9 take a big old step backwards?
On the difference question, I have the Omicron Light but not O-Phos. I too am under the impression that it's using the latest (and strongest) circuitry available. One is also slightly longer than the other, but I'm not sure which way. FWIW, I think the OL is a great 'entry level' pen......it should serve you well. It's basically a fourth generation product, improved and refined for the task of driving Omicron carts easily and effectively. While perhaps not yet 'the last word', it's certainly a reliable and useful tool.....with excellent support behind it.

thanks OF I know I have read in this thread that it is regulated but I definitely trust your testing abd know better than to argue with you, sorry if I mislead anyone

No worries. I think Omicron V1 was regulated, but can't get to my notes on it and have given all my V1s away to folks that will use them some time back. V2 is not, which is why it performs better with better batteries.

Of I think he is talking about the first gen v2's with the 3.7v limit.

I must have been because I read it in this thread around the time the v2 was/just had been released
I'm still trying to make it through this massive thread

That's a voltage limit, not regulation. It's destructive, right? I think the discussion was about 'full battery voltage' being available, again a regulation issue?
For whatever reason, V2s all deliver full battery voltage (minus a little overhead) to the load. The output decays as the charge depletes. Regulated versions deliver a flat (usually lower) voltage throughout the cycle.
Because V2 doesn't 'artificially' lower the output, increased performance from improved batteries (like the IMR 14500s ) "is passed right along to the customer at the pumps".

Foil Method: Take a tiny amount of your concentrate and put it on a piece of foil. Use a lighter or a torch and heat it up until it turns to liquid and finally burns off completely. It should leave minimal residue. If you are left with alot of gunk or black residue, you DO NOT want to put it in the Omicron.
I would suggest a V2.5 because you will be able to replace the batteries, you have the OPTION of using 7.4v with an HVD kit and you can use the 3.7 Hercules which will vape herbs.

OHH nice! That method sounds like a GREAT way to test the wax. Do i burn the wax directly or indirectly (flame under the foil maybe ) ?
Oh great, im glad i bought the omicron than so i can buy extra attachments for other use. Does the 3.7 Hercules only intended to be used a certain amount of times like the regular cartridges that are only supposed to be used once? Also would using the HVD kit with the hercules damage any parts of the vape?
Also Does the V2.5 top work better and where can i buy it? I cannot find it on Delta 9

Yes, flame under the foil.
Hercs can be ISO soaked or boiled clean for travel and re-use. Not disposable.
I meant I would suggest a V2.5, my bad. Pretty sure they beefed up the internals on the 2.5 heads (among some other things I cant recall) so they can handle HVD and 7.4 volts to run the 5.0 Ohm carts.
Pretty sure you have to buy the V2.5 Omicron to get the V2.5 heads.
Oh ok, I was actually going to get the ophos but got a good deal on the Omicron V2 so i was just trying to compare those two. Ive never vaped before and thought the ophos would be a good start
What does the HVD do? I know it adds power so i suppose it gives fatter hits and uses more wax? Does it still give 400+ hits per cartridge if you use the HVD

HVD is meant for the 5.0 Ohms cartridges at the 7.4v setup using (2) 14350 batteries.
You will use much more oil, and likely burn it using the HVD kit. It is not necessary for a new user like yourself.
MASTER the 2.4 cartridge at 3.7v and progress from there.. LEARN the different battery setups, voltages and study the Cartridge Ohm chart here:

I was under the impression that the v2.5 Omicrons currently being sold are still only 3.7v but with beefed up internals. In order to handle 7.4v you have to purchase the HVD Kit ($80) which gives you a HVD top. You cannot use 7.4v on the 2.5 Omicron out of the box.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct sir. Sorry for confusion. I was not clear in my statement. Meds... Thhanks for clearing it up thevaf
