Or simply wait a little while (I hope) for W9 to release their own rebuild kits

Oh yeah, I was wondering, does anyone know of the size needed for whip tubing for the globe? Or a link to a website that sells that type of equipment? Figured since I had a bong, might as well use it for water filtration for bigger and more tasty hits!

KidneyPuncher.com is the way to go. Ceramic wicks like in the globe are called FC-2000 wicks. I use NiChrome 80 in 32awg for 7.4v KISS. Check my sig for link to rebuild instructions.

I greatly appreciate the suggestions MaxVapor & lockie. I believe I may have not been loading the carts with a proper amount of wax, and also keeping the button pressed far too long. I'll probably have to purchase new carts (I'll look into the globe) and try the suggested methods with them.

Hey I'm in business! My friend that turned me onto persei and encouraged me to pick up the herc came by for a training session. He looked at it, took it apart, reassembled it and couldn't get it to work. He took the black insulator off and tried the metal right into the top and it released a cloud. When he changed out his insulator for mine the unit worked perfectly. He said he had a replacement and left me his and it's been awesome. The frustration was worth it. Now I just need to contact gary about my insert for the core.
Thanks for all the help guys. It's nice to finally appreciate this thing in all of it's glory. I can't get over how great it tastes.

Yes, if you screw it on upside down it'll strip the threads. My original one had this problem and the mouthpiece would just spin endlessly as well as the whole tube pretty annoying. I ended up just buying another shield

A good trick I found for anyone whose letters have rubbers off or just can't see the letters cause they blend in... The threads are different. If you look at the threads the thicker threads that are spaced a little farther apart are for the mouthpiece and the thinner threads that's are closer together is where the bottom adapter goes... At least that's how it is with the sr71 I doubt it changed though

I took a razor blade and made a small flat spot on the black insulator on the end towards the battery. Just a little something I can see and feel. Also note the bejeweled button (for those of us with big fingers).:lol:
My double top has been brought up to the front lines because my Persei Top was KIA.

after grabbing a bunch more of the carts n such after some burnouts--- a few kiss carts n the kiss globe ( for a few reasons I feel the globe works so much netter -- imo - of course ) I wanted to try these along side -- with my new found luv for the hurc 74 ………..

even trying carts which also can be nice on a 3.7v run


question 1 -- ? does anyone n-joy the 7.4 kiss more or less than the 3.7 ? and just wondering reasons / maybe type of medicine 4 some ? I find it maybe too hot n too quick --


which brings me back to why I'm writing -- i remember back hearing peeps say the herc eats oil up ??

after sooo many side by side comparisons now -- n I'm gunna put it on video wen I got sum time 4 reference n fun :)
but it seems the carts eat up oil super fast imo ---

74x boom !:)

I feel the herc just keeps pumping up n out clouds like no tmro --- I find it lasting n of course TASTING AMAZING !
certainly I guess 2 totally different tools !


respect



@Beanporn so glad all gd !!!

I am aware you need the high drain aw imr batteries to run the herc but can you use the stock batteries at all ? I ask because I have two brand new sets and I was just wondering if I can get some use out of them for any amount of time if so how long would they run for thanks

Just got my herc + hammer top + core. I'm wondering about reloading, I see a lot of different advice about when and how to reload.

So I put in .3 and melt it in, then put in another .2 for vaporizing and go until there's no/weak vapor or I can taste coil. Then do I do the whole process over again? Melt in .3 and put in .2? Or do I just need to put in .2 more? Then clean it after 2 grams? I'm just not sure how priming/saturating the coil works with reloading, I need like a Herc life cycle diagram. Trying it for the first time this weekend after I put in the upgrade and 3.7 rod.

After the coil has it's buffer, all you have to do is throw in whatever amount you want for the session (.2 - .3 for me) & go at it. As far as cleaning goes, I've only cleaned mine 3 times in the 4 months that I've owned it. I'm a daily user & the only difference in performance as far as I can tell (other than taste) is the threads getting gunked up.

Edit: I go through almost 2gs a week.

Anything less than aw's are probably just gonna get hot oil in your mouth. I started with the standard imr not knowing the difference, and it barely made vapor. I have 3rd party equivalents of the aw's and they work okay. I went one step further and picked up some lg's that put out twice the amps. The lgs kick ass. lgdbhe2685

@Vape Dr. im on the other line while your talking to Naomi. Call me in 20 min.


As for an update the new Okeanos Tubes are coming along nicely.

@DaNi_DuB Mid September to late September it should be ready.

As for the 8 we are additional 5 days behind, but it is because of the engraving, each tube and unit takes about 30 mins to get done.

Please stay tuned for more information as we introduce more items this year.

Well, on the bright side (of my Persei top dying) I am using my Herc with a Double Top that I bought from @Sleepininca. Using it with the Core, there is no low battery voltage dead zones. Means I can run it at 6v. Hits like a freight train and I can ride the button forever.
My original Persei tops are the same way. I actually hadn't tried it with my double tops since I'm worried about cooking another one, but I'd tried my "V1" Persei top out (the one that came in the kit w/double top & box advertised 6V) and it has no voltage dead zones that I recall seeing w/my Core

im still trying to find out if my hammer top is mis-firing or if its my core

sometimes when I go to press the button I get nothing no power my core is on but my button wont glow
I have to unplug it some way either the bottom of the persei or unscrew the head and re screw it back on or unplug the power cords and plug them back in

it was doing this every 1/50 times now it seems like it does it 1/10 times this is really annoying to be showing someone my awesome vape pen "but wait sometimes it doesn't turn on you just have to unplug it really quick??" is anyone having this problem whats causing it

should I submit a ticket ... don't know if its the core or the insert or the head ?
You should submit a ticket- I have the same problem as you, but it happens Only with the Hammer top and Only with the SS "18350 length" tube- and I submitted a ticket- they said I could send my stuff in, and I was going to figure out how to have the time during the day to get that done, when I happened to chat with Naomi on the phone and she suggested swapping tubes from an SS kit over with the Top already attached to the Tube, and I thought about what that would really change: the way the "cup" on the terminal of the Core tube sits against the post on the Top has to be throwing off the Hammer tops drop protection, and in my case since the SS tube has a little more spring pressure the std. tube that's why I have issues?? My Hammer top is 100% solid with its drop-protection never false activating with batteries and my fix now is to unplug the power plug from the Core bottom cap, and unthread it nearly all the way & screw it back in- it seems to work for quite a while without shutting off after that! Usually good until the next session the next day.

Such an easy fix that I haven't sent my unit in but if it becomes an annoyance I sure will.

There's some marketing ploys with the availability of that tube (and the shorty insert that current comes with the small SS kit tube minus bottom as well).
I'm in the dark here, what do you mean by marketing ploy?

Thanks, that helps. I have one more question if someone can answer, though it feels like a stupid one.

So I put in the buffer, then more to vape, then use until weak/no vapor, and put in more over the buffer. But when you do eventually clean it what happens to what you used for the buffer? Does that eventually get vaporized? Do you reclaim it? I have a feeling I won't totally get it until I use it for the first time this weekend and see what happens. Besides feeling amazing (hopefully). If all else fails it seems like the w9 guys bend over backwards to help people. Made me feel much better about buying the herc.

What is left behind is going to be gunk that is no longer needed, after a while it will just vaporize the needed parts from the oil and just leave a black gooey mess that you can torch clean.
