Thank you everyone for the help. I was indeed finally able to fully disassemble my herc. After 2x12hr soaks in iso and some scrubbing I next heated everything up with boiling water a few times and then used pliers to remove the retaining nut while everything was still hot. Next, I pushed the...

I am still unable to remove the ceramic rod from my Hercules sr 74x. Now additionally I am unable to remove the retaining nut. Everything is clean and I have never had big problems with leakage. Any more tips on how to remove the ceramic rod and retaining nut?

Any tips on how to remove a ceramic rod from a Hercules SR-74X? I can not get it to budge in either direction, even after soaking the entire assembly in ISO overnight prior to heating it with boiling water. Thanks for the help.

@SamuraiSam , is the Essential Oil Cartridge made of ceramic and steel, or nichrome and silica?

On w9tech.com the essential oil cartridge is described as "all stainless steel and ceramic" with "no parts to melt" (http://i.imgur.com/BqpaJy8.png). But in the aforementioned quote you say that it contains nichrome and silica. Please explain this discrepancy.

Brand new atomizers are catching on fire no matter what the battery. Mostly it is just the ones with the really bad builds that is why I thought it might be caused because of overlapping coils. Typically a package of 5 has at least 2 where the atomizer itself des not catch fire.

Why do these coils keep catching on fire? Does it happen because two coils touch? It happens at both low and high voltages and with multiple batteries.

Thank you, this is great advice. I was able to remove the ceramic rod by pushing it up instead of pulling it down.

I am having trouble removing the ceramic rod and the coil from my Hercules sr-74x. Do I need to use pliers for the rod and something pointy for the coil? I do not want to damage them, and applying heat did not make things any easier. Any advice?

Thank you, this is great advice, I have had much better luck getting the sticky threads to come loose after first heating up the Hercules SR-74x cartridge. I did this by turning on the Persei and heating up the Hercules SR-74x cartridge before attempting to loosen the threads.

I recently purchased a Hercules SR-74x and a Persei (2x AW18350). This unit has lived up to its reputation of being the best portable vape pen on the market (for concentrates). It tastes great. That being said, the product does have a very obvious weakness in that it has threaded contacts...

I use 10-20W, as high as I am able for the terra atomizer. Three of the atomizers in the image above start small fires if you turn them on at 3.3v with the orb top removed. Poor quality control and poor customer service should be expected when purchasing a source orb, but they are nice for...

M I have gone through 6 terra atomizers and 5 dual coil atomizers (v2). 1 of each died before being able to put 2g through it. For the rest, I quit using them after 2g because of reduced performance. I tried multiple cleaning methods multiple times but was unable to get them to perform...

I have been using the ceramic terra atomizer with high quality concentrates (70-80% THC). Unfortunately I have found that a black residue is left behind after vaporization. At first it surrounds the donut and then eventually the donut gets dirty and the performance suffers. I have gone...

I have had my Source Orb v2 for one week. I use an eleaf istick mini battery set to 3.7V for the dual coil atomizer and to 4.8V for the terra atomizer. In comparison with other small oil pens that I have used in the past, the dual coil atomizer gives much bigger and better hits. I prefer to...
