Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

Any old school double-top guys out there?

What is the best cart for a 3.7V setup? I have only used the double top at 7.4V with 5 ohm carts so far which I never really got the hang of. Even with good priming at 3.7V and then once on 7.4V, even with less than 1 second pulses I'd get pretty bad flavor. Maybe I was using "old" style carts still... Anyways, my experience leads me to believe the cart sockets are wired in parallel so the load is half of an individual cart's rating. Is this correct thinking? Is this why the 3.0ohm cart exists, to give a 1.5 ohm load for 3.7V? Help me out here... Pointers to any posts/pages where this has been discussed would be appreciated... I did try using the forum search tool.

So the arrival of my Persei is imminent. My xtar VP1 is set up and waiting to charge a bunch of various AW batteries too.

I have a series of questions I was hoping to get answered before my new vape tool arrives *bookmarks this post*:

1. How do I best go about loading up the herc sr74 with shatter and QWISO oil respectively at 3.7v? I have glass and titanium dab tools and will have the hammer top and several torch lighters at my disposal.
2. Can I load less than 1g in the bender attachment and get good results?
3. How long does a full 1g load of buds in the bender deplete (ie: does it spend your buds more quickly than other vapes)?
4. Am I able to rig up a connection between my herc/kiss carts and my bubbler using a 18mm-14mm reducer and some silicone sleeves from e-nano gongs? @Caligula I'm lookin' at you here!

Cheers :D
No bender so I'll answer 1 and 4 for you.
1) loading herc at 3.7V: a) don't get a torch near the chamber. SS is not meant to be torched. As for loading, if 1 coil take a large dab about 0.2G and drop it down. Press the button for a few seconds and give it a few puffs to melt it in
Repeat as necessary to get it to melt in. That's the buffer. Immediately do the same thing and you should be good to go. With the black rod you want to have a little pool of oil on top of the coil so maybe add a little more the second time...if using 2 coils just double the amount(or load 1 coil then the other)

4) I don't know about reducers, but the herc mouthpiece will fit nicely in a 14mm connection. I use my Pn WT a lot with it. If using a regular piece I'd suggest a whip adapter and some tubing
Does anyone use the Hercules SR-74 with the iris v1? Any advantages to this set up?
Tried it, not really worth it as has been mentioned several times already. I prefer to use my iris around 5.7V-6.0V depending on the material. This is equivalent to 7.0-7.2 with a sr74 white rod in the iris. So as you can see you don't have that much room to play with. And I'm in the minority. A lot of others have found their perfect setup at about 6.8V on the iris with the sr71 rod. The equivalent setting on a sr74 rod isn't even possible

@Mynameismud what have you found gives you the best results with the sr74 on 3.7v? Which kinds of concentrates work best (oil/wax/shatter/something else), how much of these concentrates/how many coils. How am I best to load it?

What was your technique when actually using the herc at 3.7v again? I know I asked this ages back but my Persei/Herc should arrive tomorrow, so I wanna make sure I know what I'm doing :)

Last week we only had 1 person working the whole office and that was me with a helper on Tuesday and Thursday. Now that the whole crew is back from our east coast show we can contact you tomorrow once we contact you for the price difference we will ship it out. If you do not want it please submit a ticket along with your order number and we will cancel the nibbler x for you. I do apologize for any delays but some situations our turn around time isn't 48 hours.

@ED421 I'll have the center posts up today.
Get with me today Gary if you can, I want to add to this order also, is there any way you can ship with no sig??! If I sign a waiver or something, no one will be here Friday or Saturday!

I haven't used the black rod since I got the Iris and Ti coils so all my experience comes from the SS coil. The size of the SS coil was equivalent to 2 Ti coils stacked though... And pretty much exclusively shatter. But I would say wax would only be easier...

1 coil about 0.4-0.5 total, 2 coils 0.8-1.0 total

Technique is basically what I just mentioned...load, preheat for a few seconds, puff a few times then inhale slowly...

Not sure if anyone answered my question, or not. I recently sent my single (I believe V2 top) in for repair, what I got back is a top with a protruding button, I got the impression from gary answering to one of caligulas question about tops that the new V3 are not out yet, did I mistakenly get a early version, if I did I'm not sure if others are having issues or not but I am using double stacked 18490 (mid-long w ss kit) fully charged aw, and the batteries are draining super quick, but when I go to recharge them, the batteries will also recharge at a quicker than normal timeframe, is this normal cause when using one 18350 in super short mode at 3.7v last way longer than double stacked 18490 with the new top, I know its not the batts cause using the same batteries in my provari mini or other e-cig mech mods I am having no issue, did I accidently get sent a protype v3 by mistake?

V3 has extruding button and on/off feature. I believe they did a small run, so you probably got one from that.

A few of them did have issues that caused them to just blink randomly instead of working, but that doesn't seem to be what your experiencing... Unless your mistaking the low battery blink for the 3-blink issue that some of the tops had

Maybe not the place for this, but does anybody have an SR71 herc for sale?
No longer made and sold out online... Your best bet would be classifieds section, or scouring local shops

@Mynameismud is correct the V3 tops have a button that stands out a bit but the final version of the tops are not these.

The new Persei tops will not have any v3 engraved on it, most likely it will have a new designation.

@itschad is this what you need?

I tried to look back to find info on this "Triton".

Does someone mind filling me in?

Is this a new vaporizer all together? New cartomizer?

Thanks!

New attachment all together. Something that's never been done I believe and is also intended to fix the clogging problem in the okeanos...No pics or anything yet but I'm imagining a kiss cart without the rod and wire...that could be completely off from what it will be though


yeaaaahhhh there we go thanks!!


Now I can ride the button and not burn oil on both my hercs

glorious sr74 master race
You can still burn the oil with the sr74 white rod. Just a heads up. Not as easily with the sr74 rod but still happens
if your not careful...

I would seriously consider just getting the sr74 rod. That way you can still go back to the sr71 rod should you choose and you don't have to worry about oil leaking and jamming up the spring...also you will 100% regret not having the sr71 center post and rod whenever the iris comes out. That you can dial in and really jam the button and not worry about even the slightest hint of burning.

I don't have enough oil to fill a buffer and then some, and the titanium cup didn't work out.

So here is my ceramic cup bufferless setup. A 15% ss coil, and the ceramic cup pulled from a cloud tornado atomizer. No buffer, and a chunk of shatter about 3x too big for the KISS cart seemed to work amazingly well.

I haven't hit a properly filled herc, but this is definitely better than a coil [atomizer] setup.
Sr-71 7.4v btw

@THC SCIENTIFIC ...Thanks so much for responding to my request and getting my order out....greatly appreciated! Your CS IS very good! On another note...after trying a 3.7V KISS on my Persei, I have come to the conclusion the 7.4V version tends to knock me around a little more....same product......maybe temp? plus I am partial to that nanosecond warmup.....BAM...there it is!:rockon::cool::tup:

@THC SCIENTIFIC when I got my persei herc combo I thought the threads felt a bit wrong. It always was tilted towards a side when on and would break free with the slightest pressure. The kiss I have threads fine. Is it possible to get a new threaded bottom for the sr-74? Thanks.
