currently the v4 tops are for repairs only, and once we catch up with the repair department we will have them available for upgrades for anyone who wishes to get it.

So does that mean that if we send our top in for repair they'll come back a V4? If that's the case, I may have a few coming in

No the reason I asked about price protection was because I just made a purchase from w9tech last thursday, so if something goes on sale I am wondering if they will give me the credit, or something.

On black friday does the greeter at Best Buy hand out hundred dillar bills to all the customers who bought tvs the week prior?

Do you expect w9 to send out emails with free money to every customer who paid full price every time they have a sale? "Price protection" seriously?

No I do not expect an email, and no the greeter does not give you the money, customer service does.

@DieHard I called in about that and was told I could send it in with my single top and receive 3 kiss carts in addition to the standard persie upgrade. It was a while ago though, and given your situation I hope they can work something out for you.

@THC SCIENTIFIC is the core supposed to make the cart heat without pressing the button? Just spoke up for a wake and vape, realized I forgot to unplug everything, & noticed that the cart was hot. Took a puff and guess what? Some pretty gnarly vape. Further investigation revealed that nearly a 1/4 g (on top of the buffer) was BURNT. Not in the lower chamber, but straight up crispy/crunchy black shit all up in the top chamber. That was $25 worth of shatter.... Tested it just to make sure, but it's definitely producing vapor without hitting the blue light

Edit: After cleaning/reloading, I can barley get any vapor... pretty sure i just wasted damn near a gram of top shelf shatter ($90).

This has happen to me too. With the kiss,globe, and SR71. It keeps heating the cart even after button release. It's a core problem IMO. I tried the persei and omicron. Both do the same thing.

is sr-71 better than the sr-74?

Going to order the 8, should I order ss kit as well?
I have batteries and charger from my persei, which i gave to a friend

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a while because my Persei has been working great and I was staying happily medicated. I've had it about a year now, with the SR-74. The other day I broke it down and soaked everything (including the rod) in ISO overnight. After putting it back together, it simply doesn't work. I have done this several times, so I'm pretty certain I put it back correctly, yet no heat.

So, how should I go about trouble shooting this? I know there is a meter or something to check voltage, but beyond that I have no idea. Do the rods wear out? Should I have not soaked the rod? I usually don't, but it was pretty nasty.

I love my Herc and miss it already! Anyone have a starting point or any suggestions for me? Thanks!

If this is a core problem and not a defect, there needs to be a disclaimer (didn't see one in the instructions) saying that this thing will fire your persei even without hitting the button & is a fire hazard. Still don't know why it won't heat regularly after I cleaned up all the burnt shit. Trying not to be too critical until g chimes in is proving difficult....

@DaNi_DuB try plugging your Persei intro the Core without a cart attached. Then test the top with a meter to see if you have voltage at the contacts for the top with and without the button pressed.

Obviously I am not @DaNi_DuB but I can tell u that it does output voltage. Not full voltAge but enough to heat the cart and burn the concentrate if not careful. I noticed this first with a kiss cart. This is a intermittent problem for me. I can not always replicate this specific problem. There have been times where my Persei/Omicron cannot stop firing. The blue button light stay on!!! When this happens I unplug the core. I love the core but lately it has been sitting gathering dust. Always a hit or miss with my particular unit. I sure do miss it...

That is a strange problem indeed. I never leave anything plugged in to the Core so maybe I haven't seen this issue myself. Looks like I need to do some science-ing to see if mine does that.

sr-74 back in stock today, I called uptech and spoke to them, they said the 8 won't have a ss kit and they won't offer tech support on it. They also said there will be sale on friday but he couldn't tell me much except that some items will go on sale. I'm going to order the 8 oil vaporizer with sr-74 and sr-74x upgrade. I think I will order batteries from ebay, going to get 4 18350 since the sr-74 is 7.4v. Is there a better battery? Does this plan sound good, I don't wanna miss anything. I have nitecore charger and a bunch of 18650 already.

A wise precaution that I should've taken prior to this catastrophe. Happy I got it on sale, but I'm pretty disappointed that I lost like $75 worth of meds because of a skimpy instruction manual. Not to mention the fact that I can't get my herc to fire at full blast anymore. Thank god today is a half day otherwise my anxiety would be driving me crazy.

Hey guys just got my Sr71, and im having a little trouble using it the ohms were at 1.95 when i got it and after I reassembled it the rode came out at 1.8 ohms. When dry fired it the rod started to get red hot so i know its heating up. What's the correct technique I know its somewhere in the 900's but I really dont want to sift trough it all can someone help me out?

What I said is the people who purchase the 8 should have a concept of what the 8 is about, they should have some experience with mechanical mods, as our tech support on it will be limited for one reason.

And that reason is this.

Since the 8 is a full mech mod and can be rebuilt from the ground up we expect the end user to be able to diagnose it. If they can't only way for us to help is for you to send it in and pay for shipping to be returned.

This is why our tech support on the 8 is limited.


Now as far as the core heating things up when plugged in without the button being pressed is not how the core works.

If people are having issues with core the most likely cause is the top.

sounds very reasonable especially considering what uptech provides to our community. :tup:
