I think that cleaning method will work for most coil carts and yes I have been drooling over putting some donuts on my dual coils as soon as they arrive, try it out and let us know what you think?
 
Dual coil and can i put my black donut on top of the dual coil to hold more oil?
Yes, but I find dropping a bb on the dual coil at 6V and up is a good way to get a huge load with minimal loss. With the donut on the coils, the oil between the coils and donut heats faster than the top (thermodynamics, rite? Can't be fixed; a rod wick with a coil around it is heated a lot more thoroughly than a donut on top of 2 coils). You have to load a lot between the coils and donut to keep from burning your oil near the wire, if you want the oil on top to melt into the wick; I find that I can often get a large enough rip from just the "bare" coils using short pulses in the 6-8V range.

DISCLAIMER: DANGEROUS...potentially
I boil a 1/4 cup of iso in pyrex cup in the microwave for 15 sec. Drop cart in immediately. Watch crap boil off. Pour out, repeat with fresh iso. Repeat until no more boils off. Clean cup and fill 3/4 with well filtered water. Boil in microwave for 4 min. Drop cart in. Wait for crap to boil off if necessary. Pull out amd dry. For the kiss cart i let it dry on its own after shaking out and putting upside down. Ive never had success with the donut on top.

I dunno if this is an acceptable method for you, but i can clean my herc entirely and have back in order in 10 minutes if i have to in similar fashion.

Definitely dangerous. Led to a melted microwave when my roommate did it back in college. The only way I would consider is it you have a electric stove, and even then, ISO vapor is a fucker.

How long did he leave it in??? Ive definitely tested it and went up to a minute without anything worse than some more fumes. 99% boils in 15 sec in my microwave and has never failed me yet. However, incedents like your friends are why i tagged it dangerous.

can anyone vouch for the 3.7 rod? specifically wondering about leaking issues
Sorry this is a bit late, but I've been really enjoying the 3.7v rod. It seems to have helped most leaking problems my wife and I were having learning the herc. If your herc is clean you can also use this rod with dry herb and no coil, it won't combust even with the core at 4.2v IME.

I also just realized my ophos evo d works great with oil at 3.7v in the herc, not using passthru or anything. I know this is the Persei thread but if you have an ophos evo d it will even fire up the Persei-threaded dual coil kiss gen 3. If you don't, try unscrewing the kiss gen 3 from the Persei just a little - this at least was a workaround to not flash red on my omicron HVD v2 + the Core before sending it in for an upgrade.

Possible to get a bottom adapter for the SR71 that has oring spots for the nibbler?
Yeah for sure, just add $10.00 worth of, "misc warranty / repair" under parts and service. Then include in the notes, "1x Hercules SR-71 bottom insulator with O-ring grooves".

@DaNi_DuB the 3.7 rod works very well, just make sure your concentrate is very stable at room temp. My technique is to hold the button while inhaling slowly the whole time testing for vapor, which usually appears around 7 seconds in. Then while still holding the button I inhale at a slow to medium speed, and occasionally let go of the button for about a second.

I repeat this until I am where I need to be, and then proceed with the cool down inhales.

Couple of questions about the Okeanos Upgrade. When will it be released and will it be available from a Canadian vendor?

RIP
confirmed

@THC SCIENTIFIC

Just was about to make a purchase and it looks like the 8's are out of stock?

we no longer sell the 8 and www.oilvaporizer.com has purchased the rights to it and currently manufacturing it for them, it should be available next week.

If i missed anyones questions please re ask.

The momentum is finally on our side. Carpe diem!
Has anyone tried to rebuild a KISS mini cart?

All this talk of the new Kiss carts not working with the Persei has really soured me and I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I don't understand why QC cannot be done, and out of spec carts be rejected by W9 at their facility rather than be sent to a customer. I have one good working top for my Persei. Other top, button that touches battery is totally mashed in. The good one is pretty beat up and the push button is starting to go out. Both tops are V2. They've had a lot of use, and reckon I've got my moneys worth, but I cannot see myself shelling out $65 more for V4 tops since it seems the entire vaporizer is already being phased out for some new model. I have zero desire to buy an 8 because I don't feel like working on my vape all the time like some redneck on his Ford, the way I do with the Hercules. My friend dropped his Persei in the Gulf of Mexico and ended up getting a Vamo V10. Probably where I'm headed. :disgust:

If you think we have left anyone behind before and will do it again then please go ahead and move. Im sure other manufacturers will treat you as we have treated our clients


But what is coming wont leave anyone behind.
 
So a week ago, we managed to actually burn some oil in my KISS G3 dual coil cart amongst a group of friends. Well, that leads to gross black buildup that's tough to get rid of, so after a week of use while dirty I could handle it no longer. I did some cotton swabbing with alcohol and some soaking in alcohol, as well as a boil. After it dried, I got the coils warm to pull out anything still in the ceramic wick, and then repeated the cleaning process. Seems to be no worse for the wear, made some fresh tasty clouds after a second burn-off. Boiled the whole body, not the mp, though.

try it with out the circuit board and lets see how it does, it could be a malfunctioning board thats not allowing it. Also do you have a ohm tester?
I did a bunch of testing again and it seems it makes no difference. The 8 does not produce huge clouds. It seems to not get as hot as the Persei. I can move the SR-71 back and forth between the 8 and the Persei and huge clouds quickly with the Persei and just little puffs with the 8. I am pressing down the 8 button very hard as it seems it needs quite a bit of effort.

What else can I test or adjust. It consistently fires so I don't think it is the gold nut/post at top now it just doesn't perform like the Persei. Thoughts?

Also I just saw that you no longer sell the 8. Who will be supporting and selling the parts and stuff for the 8 now?

Thanks G!

Button assembly probably needs tinkering.

I may not be understanding you correctly but the Okeanos upgrade kit came out forever ago. If you buy a new Okeanos now it comes pre upgraded.

I looked at W9 Tech's website and it's under their pre order section. Didn't know it was already out.

How can you tell which version you have? I got mine from Planet Vape yesterday.
