If you want to self-fill, Omicron is the ticket. Pre-filled cartridges, unless the Omicron, are all glycerin-based as well, which is just nasty imo.
I'm thinking that if you don't live near easy-access cannabis, Omicron is your best bet, as long as you have some means to make or access concentrates. Any other vapor pen will be hard to get cartridges for anyway in your case, I'd think. That's just my assumption though. If I was in your situation, I'd choose the Omicron, then visit an area that has easy access to high quality concentrates and stock up.
Hmm, filling steps.. I used a guide on another forum, f***combustion.com's site. It's around page 8 on the Omicron post by a guy named Daelic. All credit goes to him, he setup the pictures and instructions. Lemme post some of his links:

I prefer wax or putty concentrates, which I just use a dental pick to scrape into the frosting tip, then melt into the cartridge. Super, SUPER easy. I also added another step to his process: I keep a wet cloth around the bottom of the cartridge. In the case I mess up and heat the cartridge too much, this allows the heat to dissipate and saves me from creating a leak. When I'm done loading, I give the outside of the cartridge a quick rub-down (careful not to get water on the bottom or top, I don't know what that'd do lol) to cool it off.
And yes, this thing can be POTENT, depending on your concentrates. I've passed my Omicron around a table to watch 4 people each take 1 puff and call it quits haha. Light-weights, but still!
If you have more questions, lemme know. My AIM screen name is the same as my profile name, too, so you can message me there.
