Got my Omega in today!

WOW! This thing is perfect! So comfortable, wonderful vapor! I can't imagine ever needing anything else.

BTW. 17670 bats also work fine in the Omega. I have some of these for my Thermo and am using them while the 18650s are charging.

Thanks for this excellent product!

Also, the AW flat top 2900 mAh batteries work perfectly without spacers

And I just got mine today! I just got the 18650 which is good with a LR atty, but I'm use to my GLV at 5v so I have Tenergy's on the way. The device itself is great. Much smaller than I expected which is a good thing. It's actually the same size as my glv. I love it!! I ordered Tenergy 4 Pack RCR123A 3V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with Smart Charger I hope they are the right ones.

Those might be the wrong ones. Note the description under the "CR123A Features". No mention of PCB in the battery.
Compare with this description:
Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

Or this one from All-battery.com
Rechargeable Batteries & Battery Chargers - 4 RCR123A 3.0V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Protected Batteries with a Smart Charger

While it may be the exact same battery and maybe they just screwed up the description, I sort of remember Tenergy makes both, protected and unprotected. You might want to call battery junction and tenergy (all-battery.com) to verify.

Thanks for the heads up, I hope they are. I'll call them tomorrow hopefully before they ship them to make sure.

I bought this for my Thermo before buying my Omega:
Amazon.com: Kits: 6 RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh LiFePO4 Rechargeable Batteries with a Smart Charger: Electronics

They work fine but I am happy with 3.7v with LR atty. Probably won't use these with the Omega

Problem with these is

* Maximum discharging rate:< 550 mA *

Problem with these is

I just got those to try, they are the ones that come with the Thermo 6v kit. They work ok, and the LiFePO4 chemistry makes them safe without protection. I'm not that interested in 6v vaping so they are just sitting in a box right now.

 

[jmanning]

If I was going to get into 6v vaping, I would get the AW LiFePO4 RCR123 batteries.

I called Batteryjunction and they said they are protected. I really hate all the different crap with the batteries out there. Makes something that should be very simple overly complicated. I ordered the ones I did from a recommendation on another thread. I had to look everywhere to find someone that posted a link to the right ones to use. I saw the LifepO ones as well somewhere also. I almost ordered them but didn't because the wanted to charge me $12 for shipping. The Omega works very well with the 3.7v battery, and I may ultimately use it that way.

On a side note, the only complaint I have with the chrome is that my hands tend to sweat and make it slippery to hold on to. However thats not the Omega's problem lol, it's my darn sweaty hands I may have to get another one in silver vein at some point lol.

I have the same problem, I usually use my Black or BlueIce OMEGA

Whoops... did this just slip out?

BlueIce OMEGA

YEP!! OH!!!! DAMN....Hecknaw

I'm thinking about buying some plasti-dip to try and coat the bottom part of the Omega. It looks like it will work like a charm. I'll let you know. Best part is, if I don't like the result, it can be easily removed .

That sounds interesting. I don't have a problem with sweaty hands and grip, but it does tend to get a lot of fingerprints.
