The OMeGa - The first mod I've ever purchased...

[doots]

man I'm really thinking about getting one.... I've got 16340 AW IMR High drain for my other mod and they perform very well especially with LR 510 atties. I am curious as to how the AW 18650 batteries perform in the Omega. Can anyone shed some light on the this?

Grimmer, they work very well all day and most of the next day too..

but it's just not anywhere near the BB. There is that very distinct line between "small" mod and "full size" mod. The SB always feels LARGE. I think it's in part due to the weight and in part due to the fact that your fingers don't contact your palm when you hold it in your fist. The Omega is smaller and lighter. Your fingers do touch the heel of your palm. It just feels normal after you get used to it and you don't notice it any more.

The BB is in a different class. It's very small and very light (relatively speaking). You don't hold it in your fist so much as in your fingers. It fits in a shirt pocket (and doesn't make it sag off your neck). You can put it in your pants pocket and it's not much more than a set of keys.

I've been using my Omega (and SB before that) at work to break them in and get familiar with them. I find myself carrying them in my hand more than putting them in my pants pocket. I drop my BB into my pants or shirt pocket without thinking.

I want both.
BB size for work, going to the store, etc.
Omega (current) size for the golf course, long outdoor activities, car trips, at home. Golf, outdoor stuff, I'm usually carrying it in a belt loop flashlight case.

Definitely a distinction worth making. Well put. The OMeGa feels smaller and lighter only when compared to the SB. It is definitely still a big battery mod.

Well, got mine today. here is my honest review. I love how light it is and how shiny it is.
As far as performance, it works just like my other 2 silver bullets-flawless, not sure I like the switch since its easy activated in the pocket, wish there was a way to do like half a twist and lock it when not in use.

I like it as much as I like anything else Chad makes, hopefully the next version will have a lock option and it will be perfect.

i was thinking of that the other day and maybe chad can put something in between the switch (outside) that can screw upward to lock and down to unlock it....
