Omega RDA thoughts and pics

[cghildreth]

I picked up an omega atty from refined vapor in round rock, Texas today. I've got a build going on it and wanted to post some of my thoughts on it.

The atty's fit and finish is absolutely top notch. It's got a flawless brushed finish on it that looks really nice (I think) with the vanilla mod. The AFC is simple but super effective. There are three air holes in the top cap that look to be about 2.5 mm. The holes are spaced 90 degrees from each other. The deck of the atty has a very deep well with two holes of identical size spaced at 180 degrees. This makes it so that you can run single or dual coils without having to worry about having too many or too few draw holes. To restrict air flow, just turn the cap slightly. Same deal to open up the air flow. With both holes wide open, air flow is so loose that it's almost like breathing normally. You can also tighten down the draw so much that it becomes very difficult to draw.

My build on the atty is a dual 6/7 28 g micro coil with cotton ball wick. Ohms out at a shade over 0.4 ohms. My sweet spot with AFC on this build is a shade less than half closed. It still absolutely pours out the clouds.

I have two gripes with the atty. Because of the raised well for AFC, it is very difficult to install a micro coil. I like to leave my bit or needle in place as I am attaching the leads on the coil. With the raised well this is very difficult. I ended up shoving the end of my bit through the AFC hole to be able to get the coil in the proper place. This means my coil is sitting at a bit of angle, but that's not a terrible thing. My other gripe is that there is no hole in the posts. You've got to catch your resistance wire at the screw head. If you've built dual coils before you know that trying to fasten more than one wire under the same screw head can be a pita.

Besides these two gripes, I really like this atty. it's very flexible in setup terms, and is a looker. Properly setup, vapor productions is phenomenal. Flavor is also very good.

great take on the omega I've been looking at this one for some time

That looks like a cross between the Nimbus and Igo-W RDA's.I do like the way the AFC is set up though.

Just ordered on last night can't wait.

You are so right about the screws took me an hour to get it right, but when I did man this thing is a beast! Flavor is outstanding. I used 3mm silica and 32g wire around 1.1.When I tried to build it lower it was too hot for me may have had a short don't know. Will try cotton next time. Why don't you add more cotton in the well of yours it would hold more liquid.

I was hesitant about the Omega because it doesn't have holes in the posts. Building coils on it was a bit of a hassle the first time. After I figured out how to wrap the wire on it, it's easy to build now. The airflow is amazing, with the rotating top cap it makes it easily adjustable too. I also like how the top cap covers the entire atomizer, it makes it look much better, it looks much cleaner sitting on top of my Nemesis without the extra ring from the bottom of an atomizer.

Looks great!! I'm waiting for mine in the mail right now, hopefully be here tomorrow. I've been asking around about the post issues (lack of holes). From what I gather the tobeco one has holes in the post but the quality isn't that great and the air holes don't line up. The Hcigar is spot on but lacks the holes in the post. Oh well, I've been wrapping wires around post for a while now (stupid IGO L...). Again looks great man!

Thanks so much for this post, exactly what I was looking for. Man it's a beautiful rda but that drip well , I also don't like the idea of the "fastening type". I was an inch away from wasting some mula, and you strode in on your white horse, I tip my hat to thee sir. lol

 

[Cearamm]

My fave rda by far.

My microcoil method may help you guys out:

1. Lay your drill bit with coil horizontally across the top of the deck walls. Bit should be parallel with the 3 center posts.

2. Wrap your leads around screws, making sure they are on the left side of each post so when you tighten thescrews they dont pop your leads out.

3. Lightly tighten the leads, and carefully remove the bit. Proceed to other coil.

4. Once both coils are lightly installed, your coils will be about level with the top of the deck walls. Tweak your coils and pulse them till they glow proper. Tighten fully down. Trim leads

5. Install cotton wicks. Trim. Tuck cotton into the deck, avoiding packing it under the coil. Less is more.

6. Using a pair of tweezers, grip each coil carefully on the sides and slide them down in front of the airflow holes. I use crazy long legs for my coils and try to get them right in front of the holes.

Boom your done just juice 'er up and vape.

To recap, just use the high walls to ur advantage and rest your bit on there for leverage and support. Once you have everything installed, simply slide the coils down into the drip well towards the deck to your desired height and vape happy!

Also, are there any other Rdas out there that use a similar AFC setup? I havent been able to find one but its literally my favorite style. Also i wish Loki Lab would come out with a genny style or vacuum style tank atty. thatd be sick as heck

My go to drippers are a Trident v2, patriot, or my omega v2 by ehpro. My omega has holes in the post tho...and its still a PITA to build so it definitely gets less love.

I highly suggest checking out a trident v2.

I run my Omega with dual coils, wrapped around a #43 drill bit. This size is just right for pulling a doubled piece of P&C cotton yarn through the coil. I build the coil with the drill bit sitting on the rim of the well. After pulling the yarn through, I gently push the coils down, until the top of the coil is about even with the top of the rim.
