I'm also wondering about the 3 types of carts I see now, and wanted to know if the higher the ohm, the higher the power, meaning the highest volt/ohm carts will produce the biggest hits since it's more power?
The three different resistance (ohm) carts are for three different voltages. The current Omicron cart (2.5 ohms) at 3.7 Volts delivers about 6 Watts total (half to the vaporizer, half to the bulk heater). The 6 Volt version delivers about 12 Watts, assuming the power is still equally divided, this should deliver twice the vapor rate. The 7.4 Volt version (4 ohms) delivers still more, close to 14 Watts. For reference, Revolution is about 15 Watts. Persei can do parallel carts, so those numbers could be doubled that way.
Harder hits with Persei (and Revolution) are also possible because they don't 'time out', you can take longer tokes.
The ohm values are chosen to deliver correct power with the specified battery. For the same voltage,
lower resistance (ohms) delivers more power, not less. Using other than the specified voltage is probably not a good idea.

Thanks, edited, meant to say Revolution.
'nothing beats my Omicron for portable potency'
Probably should have prefaced with "IMHO", but here are some of my reasons. The key word is portable.
-The Rev is great, and undoubtably delivers bigger hits than the Omicron(although not as big as the Persei), but the sticky concentrate on the door gathers pocket fuzz, winds up on my phone, wallet, and fingers. That hinders the portability a bit for me.
-Having to bring concentrate to reload the Rev(and the mess that accompanies loading). Load an Omicron cart and you're good for a couple of days. Think you'll need more, or want a variety, load two or three carts and toss them in your pocket.
-Pocket full of batteries. True you will have to take more draws off the Omicron to match the hitting power of the Revolution, but the Omicron's battery charge is days as opposed to the Rev's minutes/hours. On one Omicron battery charge a number of people can be medicated for days.
-and of course the Omicron's a bit smaller than the Revolution.
OK, makes more sense now. Thanks.
IMO, the IMO part is understood, no real need to state it?
However, I guess I still disagree with the general idea. Most guys would consider both units as portables I'd think? You pull it out of your pocket, hit it a while, and quickly put it back. Like MFLB, VG, Iolite, Solo or the others, trade offs in capacity and service intervals exist.
As an opinion, of course, like what you like for your own reasons. But I think most guys would call Omicron, Revolution and (for practical purposes if they're being delivered) Persei as all being portable oil vapes and when you rank them for potency Omicron belongs at the bottom of the list, not the top. Just my opinion of course.
