@Caligula the 5 ohm was my stand by cart, so that's why I went with the 5 on the kiss too

@THC SCIENTIFIC I'm pretty sure my girl may be killing them. They ALWAYS die on me after she hits it. Lol. Well except for the very first one. That one (that was replaced) was just defective I think. Idc I love the Damn things!

Someone teach me to rebuild them! Lol

Knowing the new ones are around the corner, I may just grin and bear it then buy double!

Love this ish

=)

@ataxian how do you hold that big bastard?! With my hands I'd drop it!

The OEM Persei batteries are no name generic IMR batteries, and are not rebranded AWs. They are not made with the same QC in regards to both materials and assembly/manufacturing.

They have been proven again and again not to be up to the task of providing continuous power levels over time, unlike AWs and to a lesser extent the Efest batteries. While this is a non issue with the OG Omicron and Persei carts, the stock generic IMRs just wont cut it when it comes to powering things like the Hercules SR71.

Furthermore, it is the Efest and AW brand batteries that have been rumored to be identical on the inside. NOT the OEM batteries UP Tech includes with the Persei.

Now I'm not going to sit here and find links to 3rd party testing that verifies all of this, but said reviews and tests can be found on numerous flash light and ecig enthusiast websites as well as FC it self.
Also, i dont think this was mentioned, but the efest batteries had a problem with knock offs being rewrapped as real efest batteries i believe and it affected quite a few retailers. Im not sure if its still an issue but i dont think that has happened with the aws, ever, possibly?

AW's do have knock off's and so do the Efests. The only way to make sure you get what you pay for is if you buy from reputable retailers.

Have the 2.4 ohm kiss carts been burning out as well?
Was just going to order a couple...

Edit: Will the current Kiss carts be able to have the new TI coils installed by the user?

Ordered a bunch of K.I.S.S. Carts for my persei,omicron, and got the 3.7 and 7.4 carts as well for the persei. I was curious how do you guys like them in comparison to each other ( the 3.7 and 7.4 k.i.s.s. carts)

Also what does K.I.S.S. stand for? :p

It stands for Keep It Simple Stupid.

Edit: Just to clarify, I am totally being serious and not trying to be a wise ass. I didn't know either until someone asked a while back.

:haw: I'm well aware of the Keep is Simple Stupid principle as well as "keep it short and simple", "keep it simple, sir", "keep it super simple", "keep it simple or be stupid", "keep it simple and stupid", "keep it simple and straightforward", "keep it simple and safe", "Keep it simple, student", "keep it simple, silly", "keep it simple and sincere", or "keep it simple and secular, but don't think that those relate to this Cart..... or do they? :freak:


Anyone have any feedback on the comparison of the 3.7 and 7.4 K.I.S.S. Carts?

Hello, long time lurker here! I received the Persei last week and the unit is excellent. However, I have been having some problems with what I believe are defective KISS cartridges. I used the "Messages" feature of the w9tech.com site to submit a request for help last week but have not heard back. Is this the correct place to be submitting a support request or am I missing something?

Thanks for the ongoing excellent source of info. Below is the message I sent in case anyone has any ideas:

I received the Persei yesterday which I've been using in 7.4v configuration with the 5ohm KISS carts. I was able to load and vaporize about 4 bowls using short 1-2 second presses (amazing results), but then the coil stopped heating up and no longer glows when the button is pressed.

I swapped it out for another cartridge, and that heated up fine for the first 2 bowls until I experienced the same issue. Is it possible that the carts are defective, or that I am mishandling it in some way?

I've had time to sit with both of them and I would recommend the 3.7v (2ohm) version 99% of the time unless you have VERY stable shatter and want immediate clouds.

Arent they all 3.7?

The 3.7v version is 2ohm and the 7.4v version is 5ohm. Technically, there is no difference in any versions of the kiss carts other than the resistance (ohms) unless I have no idea what I'm talking about which could also be very possible :)

Many people have had issues with the 5 ohm Kiss carts burning out. You have to be super careful.

I suggest try the 3.7v version as I have one and it heats up almost just as fast and is less likely to burn out.

When I first heard about this I checked out that Vapor Warehouse site, and in the description they say the carts are for persei and omicron's, but I ordered mine from w9tech since you had a few more options like the actual model of vape you have and different ohm carts. Is there an actual difference in the different model's of K.I.S.S. carts then I assume? Just want to make sure and don't want to say the wrong thing to people when they ask me. Hopefully THC can chime in on this bell :)

Sup gdiman, yeh the best and fastest way to get support on your issue is to make a support ticket on the site. Message feature, I don't they really even look at that much. Just make a support ticket and you'll be sorted, W9Tech Provides one of the best customer service I've dealt with and that's a big reason why I've been a loyal customer since the begining

Edit: sorry I didn't edit and made a reply instead. :(

Thanks for the input SOD! Looks like I'll use those 5ohms very sparingly and only on very stable shatter.

Sorry boss that's my fault. I'm currently the one doing the tickets ATM until new girl is trained. She's missed a few and I will catch up tomorrow for sure.

In fact they do, according to man himself, @THC SCIENTIFIC. He was the one who clarified the abbreviation the other day.

The 5ohm kiss cart seem to be as touchy as the 5ohm o.g. cart lots of power makes for a steep learning curve. Easily burnt out if not feathered correctly or enough. I have found that the 2 ohm kiss is a work horse and takes lots of abuse with virtually no learning curve truly living up to its kiss name !
Hope that helps !

Hey y'all just curious about something with my KISS cart. I Think I have broken it.

I have been twisting it down fairly hard on my Persei top, or leaving the bottom part with coil attached and re-screwing on the top piece which twists it into the Persei top even further.

I've noticed if I twist it down all the way it would fairly often give me a blinking light showing there was a short. Loosen it up a bit and it will be fine.

After a long night of hard KISS carting last night, it stopped working after a while, figured my batteries were low, but when I got home I couldn't get the multimeter to show anything other than a short.
