if the oil is inside the unit, you can heat it out. Take the 2 tubes and throw into a pyrex dish and into the oven at low temp ~t 170. Wait a 10-15 mins. Remove, cool. Stand the tubes up in the dish, but have them apart. The retainer and rod can be left in the bottom & top. The coil can be done too.

Then scrape the oil out of the dish with a razor blade. I use an exacto knife with a wide flat blade on the end.

Thanks PR for the good advice! I'm educated about extraction and reclaim but think i might do this just a little differently. if I can't get out all the oil from tube I'm going to put a slick pad on one of those coffee warming pads and put the tube on the slick pad. That's how I usually get out all my meds from vials :) I think i'll leave the coil alone until I finally get the piece I need from w9tech.

Yes, I have a heat pad and a baking pad - its a slick pad, but large enough for cookies etc. Made for baking. I like the oven because the temp is controlled more and no direct heat :)

Course the min temp is a bit high. Water bath works also :)

Just put my leads of my multimeter together.

and what was the value?

Yes it does read 2.5ohms by itself

and the leads by themselves?


I will say this, I just loaded the SR-71 with herb and added 0.25G of wax. On my 4th hit and I am done for a while. OMG - using in my Persei UP bubbler so I can see the vape. Talk about milk... I have no issue getting air through the rod area for sure. This is my method for now. Whoa.

or new leads. Your rod is fine, assemble the sr-71. Then retest the ohms before putting it into the Persei head. Make sure it still reads 2.5 ohm.

The point is it will either be shorted or read 2.5 which is enough to assemble correctly.

Your setup just has an offset error which you can subtract in your head :) just subtract 0.7ohms from the meter readings. Maybe your battery in the meter is low... replace and retry. Ohm meters require power to operate - a low value current source and a voltmeter. The current source uses a battery... Also if its an anlog meter there is an offset adjustment(thumb wheel on unit to adj to 0). Digital typically self cal

It reads 2.5 ohms when assembled or just the rod it blew my double top at that reading. Single head won't light up with herc installed but will light without the Hercules installed what gives ?

The issue has been located and its a 50/50 thats why some of you are able to use it and some are not.


Given the tolerance levels of the Hercules and the #10 washer given both together and heat it causes the air flow to go bad after a few seconds warm up time.


I have tried all i can and the real fix is the Stainless Steel top.

We have begun manufacturing of these pcs.

What are you anticipating as an expected release date / shipping date on these? Will people who have already received their hercules just be sent an invoice like via paypal or something for the shipping costs?

Unsure, does the top work with another cart?
If the SR-71 measures 2.5 ohm (really 1.5 ohm) when assembled, it will not blow the top. It is made for that.
Test the tops first with another cart like the 5ohms ones using 3.7V, maybe in the process the SR-71 was shorted and took the tops out before you realized it... Or the batteries are dead now.... replace them.

Tried that works fine 5ohms at 3.7 volts

how do we go about replacing tops? i just shorted my hammer top, so thats 2 out of the 4 tops i have. Im debating trying my single top... hmmm....

Awesome! How long do you think until they're ready to be shipped out? I'm dying to make this thing work correctly but until then, it's back to the nail and dome.

OK how about the 5 ohm at 7.4V?

Have you verified the resistance after assembly?
Click to expand...

yes its 1.6ohmers. i check it on my recently acquired IRIS.

EDIT: i just checked my rod placement and it moved down somehow. i went ahead and fixed the rod position and gave it a try on my semi working dual top and it now its a non working dual top. I also had a little bit of oil dripping down to the bottom chamber from the rod incase these helps in diagnosing.

Well if the resistance is OK and your top went - I don't know why. I can only guess that the top blew under the SR-71 load... Maybe it was harmed before this try.

This is a G question. If the IRIS meaures 1.6 ohms then the SR-71 is OK.
If I am messing with the SR-71 aka something that messes with the rod, I double check with meter before proceeding. Its easy to introduce an issue after resistance verification, but you think everything is OK, not saying that is happening here, just could be.

If the rod is moving, clean the unit and retighten the retaineer nut with a wretch, but only a little. Don't crank it down. It shouldn't move.

Im going to have to wait a while to try again. i dont want to risk my single top or IRIS top.
How do i go about replacing the tops? Can i just call them and tell them about it?

my herc read 1.4 on my iris. put it onto my double top. put .2 of shatter which was the size of a gummy bear in there. I see the red rod, but get no vapor. I will let it cool and try again.

Hi folks. I've been reading the thread and I'm wondering if I should try not to use my SR-71 until receiving the AAF washer. Is it possible for it to work the way it comes? I purchased the 3.7 rod/coil kit, too. Does herb work better currently (no melting into other areas of the device, etc.) than oil? I am aware that I can get a #10 washer at the hardware store, so no need to cover that. Thanks.

Is everyone having issues still using the original bottom connector from the Hercules

I need the version for dummies. What is the "tolerance issue" and how can I avoid it? I'm hoping to learn how to proceed when I receive my SR-71. I don't want to damage it! I've marked the first forum page where talk about experiences with the new Hercules began, so I can re-read it and absorb. But even after reading it all, there are still a few things I don't understand. I'm guessing that I'm supposed to get the #10 washer, and then if I'm in the lucky 50% my Herc v2 might work - is this correct? I appreciate what G did to help me get my SR-71. I'm trying to honor that and do my best to use it well.
