I was curious about the Omega after reading so many good things so I scraped together some cash, grit my teeth and ordered one. Well I got to say this thing is nice. I have been useing it now for 3 days and I am very satisfied. Tried it at 6 volts,I know I know it was not designed for stacked batteries, but I had to try. In my opinion the 18650 with an Lr atty is at least just as good if not better, and lasts way longer. This thing is solid. If you are mulling it over do yourself a favor just order one you will not be disappointed. I also would save the money and don't bother with batts and charger for 6v. The 18650 is a beast. I am already seriously thinking about getting an SB thats how much I like this mod.

Yes the Omega is a one of a kind mod for sure, I always liked 6v with a HV atty on it myself but does great with a LR and a 18650 in it.
Try some of the redilast 18650 2900 mAh Batts in that beast, there really great 18650's and ya the Omega is a nice Mod its one of my few tube Mods that I've kept these days. I also like it with 2 x 3v AW's a lot too
I'm sorry if I missed your saying already but where did you lay hands on 3 volt AWs? I've only been able to find 3.7v AWs.
woo hoo! Thank you! Okay...I see 500 mAh...what's the battery life on them? And, are these AWs are magically consistent as the chemistry is touted to be?
NOPE I buy my 3.0v AW'S from Ikenvape.com, use his coupon and get an extra 5% off too But Lighthound is good too

Specifications :
Nominal Voltage : 3.2V
Capacity : 500mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.0V
Standard Charge : CC 250mA CV 3.6V
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Note: Do not discharge below 2V. Cells will be damaged when discharged below 2V.
That doesn't answer the question right?
What is the manufacturer's specified Maximum Discharge Rate?
6v with a 3.0Ω atty/carto will draw 2A
6v with a 2.2Ω atty/carto will draw 2.73A
I don't know, they may be rated well over that.
But if the batteries aren't spec'd for a Maximum Discharge Rate at or over that then they may not be well suited for our application. It just might just result in decreased performance, decreased longevity or you might damage the batteries. I don't know that either but it seems like pertinent information.

The CR123 LiFePo4 3v(3.2v) batteries have a output current of .5A each that is 1/2Amp
I asked the guys at Lighthound, they said the AW LiFePO4 3v max discharge was 700mA. Slightly better than the Tenergy batts at 500mA, but still way low for vaping. So if I were dead set on getting 6v vaping that way, I would still prefer AW over Tenergy, just for quality issues, but I would not expect any of these batteries to have a very long lifespan.
