I have also stopped heat soaking my bowls, but I can totally understand people who want it as part of their ritual.
Sorry, I disagree, the difference being the 1-2 seconds at the beginning of the hit when the vapor is whispery on a cold bowl. I know it's not much but it greatly matters to me. Also, I am using an Auber B PID from around 2020, never had any issues with it. Curious how long you heat soak the head between bowls.
Less than five minutes. It’s always ready to go. And no wispy hits. You are killing your thermal load by heat soaking.
nice setup bro,New little straight fab piece I just got from DHGate is a perfect pair with the Zeal
Hey thanks alot for the link bro, just pulled the trigger on it!
It's this one and yep it's 14mm. He also makes one that's ~13" tall, but not sure if that one is 14mm.
Thank you for the suggestion, that makes total sense. I will see if it improves my experience and report back in a bit.
Do you notice much of a difference using the Omega with the flat-bottom coil compared to the standard barrel coil?
Seems like the consensus has been that the temp needs to be increased when using the axial (flat bottom) coil. I started with an increase of +80 but have dialed back to +55
Auber is simply a brand but it is also referenced as a wiring type since Auber and most American makers sell PIDs wired the same.
The coil in the picture is from Vgoodiez by crossing tech. It was tighter around the omega and I never got around to really stretch it out properly so it snagged each removal. It ran at a lower temp, but not by much. Other than temp difference, no I notice no real difference.
I tried this technique last night and had much better results getting instant vapor, I started at 620 (way too hot) and settled on 580. I believe the wireless option is especially useful when you are sharing a bong with other people. I normally find it awkward when I take my bong setup to someone's house and share with a few people who normally sit on a couch where you clumsily pass this thing around and hope the cord is long enough and people don't burn themselves. When I am just vaping at my desk, I don't see much of an advantage, plus the wireless heads are heavier and need to flipped every time you put them on the bowl.
Do you mean the bowl temperature?
The Omega will work with a shovelhead with the 22mm attachment. Will also work with 18mm but not hands free
Omega folks, who aren't on Discord, might be interested in the new Armor coil:
It's still a preorder, but I know it has been in development for a long time. Basically it should be the best coil for a cordless Omega. It should make great contact while heating and then be easy to remove when it's hot.
Anyway I preordered one and I'll report back how it works.
