hey el cerebro, have you tried both? I've never tried any of these new oil vapes, but I've had TI skillet/nail n dome. The thing I notice about using the skillet/nail n dome is that I don't like the hit as much if it doesn't get hot enough to vaporize all of the oil right away. I think the TI works great and tastes great but I have no basis of comparison other than to the flowers. Do you think vapeing the oil tastes better?
Yeah I started with omicron and picked up a TV with the dart and evolution heads. Dart kicks ass, way better than omicron but of course more of a "load as you go" device while omicron holds a whole gram of bho/wax. Dart can handle more varieties, but solvent-less hash will gunk it up quicker (very easy to clean and return to new, impossible with omicron although those can last a while if you don't fry them trying to get big hits). Battery life with the dart kicks-ass too. The Evo is a one-hitter for flowers, and works excellent with more-granular hash and kief, but you'll be changing batteries more often than dart. Their T1 head is a larger bowl that only works on the largest battery unit, too short of a battery life IMO if you're not near the charger, but people who have them really seem to like. TV has battery tubes ranging from ~0.5" to 1" in diameter depending on what size vs capacity trade-off you prefer. You can also find adapters to fit omicron carts on the tv battery, the best combo in my opinion.
If you can stand to sift through it, the huge threads on FC forums have all the details like battery time for each battery model, how many draws with each attachment, diy mods, etc. (I can summarize more here if anyone wants). I medicate more or less constantly lately for pain/nausea, and honestly the time it takes to mess with flowers has become very inconvenient, especially with my tolerance (capsules 4x per day too, and starting juice). Oil gives me a lot more freedom, less junk to carry around, much faster administration, ability to leave it alone for even a few hours instead of chain-vaping like with flowers, and much deeper medicinal effects of course. I can keep the tv in my pocket all day and medicate in like three seconds and get back to whatever, crucial for qol with as much time as symptoms can steal from our lives.
I'm not a fan of skillets/nails anymore after using a convection vaporizer (like vapbros) for a while, it really is much smoother, less harsh, better flavors, less oil-in-the-throat feel. Tv has a couple neat little ceramic moisturizer/filter attachments that don't seem like much but I really like (few drops of water inside and humidifies vapor). All their stuff is also easily compatible with several size glass fittings, built in on the Evo even. No know many folks will find these pen-vapes a little weak compared to torching a huge dab, but that's kind of the point really, smaller dosing options. The smaller/single omicron setup is most like this, a "sipping" device. The dart can blast a big dab if you want, but I go easier with it (maybe 1-2 hits on the tv = 10 on the omi, for me). You can get very small doses from both of them with some practice, although dart is much less fiddly and almost zero learning curve. Evo takes a bit more technique to master, but really no different than learning the nuances of joint or pipe methods.
