I see where you're coming from and understand the message, but I do have an Omicron V2 and the full Persei line of toys and was planning on using this as a stealth travel alternative. I've been using the poofy caps D9V sells online (much better than the tiny white caps IMO) while storing, but there is still quite the odor that lingers, depending on the freshness and quality of the BHO. Using a tube actually makes it worse since it stores up and gives off a very strong whiff when opened. For short trips, I'm finding this O.Pen Vape much more preferable because even the vapor itself doesn't smell nearly as strong, and while I have my legal status and all, I prefer not to advertise. So, for me at least, this has been working out better, while perhaps not as fun
I got a CE4 cartridge as well as the quad-coil cartomizers from D9V (same form factor as the normal extract carts - Nibbler X works with it too, lol) so try to "legitimize" my Persei and been seen using it around work to get people used to seeing that device (though I might use it to different ends off work hours), but I'd say 3/5 people who notice it who are smoking outside flat out ask if you can smoke pot out of it -- quite a disturbing trend especially when one of those asking runs your entire company unit. Time to back down a little (though I would have raised the battle standard earlier in life, not so much when my paycheck is involved anymore).
Organlabs lists no businesses partners or contacts in Washington, but locally, Sound CO2 is cranking out the cartridges which I've found in at least three locations. Each cartridge shows the name of the donating garden, so if I'm overly fond of something, I can usually track down the same flowers it came from. (They claim a high percentage of popcorn nuglets in addition to sugar trim - extraction is typically done with wet trim, so by the time this hits the shelf, the flowers themselves usually have a couple more weeks cure time before they hit the shelves).
This is true of the higher quality BHO which usually come from the direct source as well, but I found this concept of garden-to-product much more meaningful to me than using the Pure Gold product, which seems like the Kroger Cost-Cutter brand of concentrates at caviar prices (BHO being Coca-Cola and CO2 extracts being like RC Cola... disclaimer: I do like RC Cola). (Though I haven't tried doing this, I do have a friend that swears by topping off with PG in none-piney strain cartridges to give it longevity and kick, which imo makes it an expensive cartridge indeed!)
I'm not sure what type thread (not 510 or 601) this vape is using, but I know it's a standard as a co-worker's ejuice cartridge plugged right in to the O.Pen battery and looked and worked the same (except his battery had a button), so I am getting a "legit" cartridge to complete the "cover" (with non-nicotine ejuice), as it
really is just an e-cig, given that it's an e-cig with an up-and-coming high volume cartridge distribution system.
So a niche product? I'm split as to whether or not I would recommend this a primary vape. I'm hesistant about PG-anything (as in not Pure Gold but the ejuice mixer), but this truly is a "clean" vape with almost zero learning curve. If dosage is just occasional, it just works. If used only for travel, it just works. Zero mess - you don't touch the actual load. At all. No buttons to learn a flute method with - you just.. breathe. Metered dose? It turns off after a few seconds automatically. What do you have to do? Occasionally charge the battery or change the cartridge. And you can use as an e-cig. An e-cig with a stylus tip for my tablet and smart phone.
Personally, even though the technology is piggy-backing and not even evolutionary, the usability aspects and stealthiness are what have my interest. So though it's boring in almost every possible aspect, it's still a great solution for certain problems.
Even if the supply dries up tomorrow, I basically got the battery for free, so I'll just shrug and move on. Currently it is providing some value to me, so I'll just take it as it comes
and will be picking up this pen, it is made by Organalabs out of CO. They produce a disposable cart full of their own strain specific c02 oil which fit only on their pens.
