Optimus 510 Vaporizer Review
Quick Review
The Good:
This is one of the best looking oil vaporizers on the market. Totally transparent oil cartridge so you can see where your oil is. Also compatible with nicotine substitute e-liquids.The Bad:
Not compatible with waxes or dry herbs. Performance is underwhelming. Not huge clouds.This is a terrific starter vaporizer pen because it doesn’t require a whole lot of breathing control. Just slow deliberate breathing will do the trick. You won’t see huge clouds out of it, but it defintely does the job and conserves your oils. Really subtle e-cig design so you can take it anywhere and vape discreetly.
The Optimus 510 Vaporizer is a pretty sweet oil vaporizer made by Atmos. It’s not the most powerful vape on the planet, but the cartridge is compatible with essential oils as well as e-juices and it is a pretty efficient model. I would recommend this device for novice vaporists because users don’t have to finagle with the mouthpiece or battery. It attaches easily to the cartridge and it’s transparent so you can always see the amount of product that’s in the chamber.
Aesthetics really are the biggest selling point on the Optimus. It’s virtually identical to an e-cigarette, and functions as such. Even when vaporizing cannabis oils, you’re not going to get that distinctive weed smell like you would if you were burning herbs. That’s what I really love about this thing. It was one of the first oil vapes that I really enjoyed because my friends and I could get high at the bowling alley, movie theatre, wherever.
Although most vendors will tell you that the Optimus 510 is compatible with waxes, I would not recommend this combination because waxes can clog the cartridge, making future use with oils and liquids very difficult. It’s really best to keep the two separate. For the price, this is a terrific starting-out oil vaporizer at great value. You’ll end up saving money on your product as well as the delivery device.
We recommend this vaporizer store if you want to buy an Atmos Optimus 510. It’s where we got ours and they’ve always delivered a great experience.
This or the Atmos Nail?
They both seem pretty similar, any pros and cons comparing these two?
I’d get this one if you plan on using E-Juice, and the Nail if not.
Yea, I got one of each, the 510 for juice and the Nail for cannabis. I noticed that the 510 pen has really good flavor compared to some of the other vape pens I have tried like the Kanger. Since I have made the switch to vapor I have really been feeling a lot better. Thank you Vaporizer Review staff for help spreading the good word about vaporization and teaching us about all the different vapes.
Someone told me that I could still use this wax if I heated up the wax first and melted it in there. That kind of sounds like a lot of work and you might as well just grab a different pen. I guess you could get a few different tanks so switching them out would be pretty easy.
I was looking at getting the Vaporite Sapphire, they look pretty comparable but the Sapphire has better colors IMO.
I think the best thing about this vaporizer is the price. It is really cheap and you don’t have to worry about losing it or breaking it because you can always just replace it for a few bucks. All the pen vaporizers that are this style are relatively equal performance wise, so it is a good idea to go with a brand you trust and a website with a warranty / reputation. That way if the pen is DOA (dead on arrival), which happens more than you think, you wont have to worry about losing your money.
The Optimus is the perfect vape pen for beginners, it couldn’t be easier to use and maintain. Once I finally started vaping full time I could not believe it took me so long to make the switch. I have moved on to bigger and better vapes now but if you are just looking to get started vaping I would go with one of these.
These kind of pens are a dime a dozen, but you are right they are good for beginners. If you are going continue vaping after a while you are going to want to upgrade to something nice.
