Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

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.

Look at our Okeanos and see if it looks the same with two red orings on the middle base and adjustable water deflector.

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!

Submit a ticket and ask for it to be forwarded to me directly I'll fix it and you will be happy I promise.

Only one o-ring, one top, one bottom on the glass tank.

How is the water deflector adjustable? Mine rotates on the threading to move up and down.

I'm not too concerned. I saw the video with two water deflectors, when I was looking for info on the amount of water to use and the placement of the water deflector. Thought it might work a little better. At least until I learn to get the amount of water right.

What else does the kit upgrade?

Has anyone successfully taken out the screen off the nibbler xl top adapter of the Hercules?

I'm having a lot more trouble than the screen in the mouthpiece.

Yes, the first thing I did when I got the nibbler xl was remove the screen. Same thing when I got the Herc. Just seems unnecessary and gets clogged easily/wastes oil IMO.

Dont try to pry it out or anything. There is a plastic thumbscrew that holds it in (but a little to big for a thumb, use a coin).

What are the tricks for getting the button set up properly?
I also have trouble on a weekly basis.
Thanks for any input.

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.
Will it work with a 7.4 Hercules?

currently testing a entry level variable wattage with temp control in a 601 thread for oilvaporizer.com


once thats done it will be ready for retail on their side that will run everything we have.
Any idea when this might be getting sold? I was tempted by the one ov has, but couldn't find a 510 ego to 601 mod adapter. I've kind of changed my mind since then and don't want to do adapters. I'm way more interested in the 7.4 one coming later, but if the price is good I'd probably pick up and entry level one in the meantime.

Adapters are a pain and look ugly, in my experience. Of course, I use one daily with my 3G KISS cart, and while it looks like garbage, it works fine. It's more of a desperation measure, IMO. Clearly if it's for home use, aesthetics are a personal choice. But if you wanted to take it out, it looks janky enough to draw some looks.

If you can get away with waiting for the 601 mod, I'll bet you'll be a lot happier. Also, it will be released on OV, so hopefully the price will be competitive with those other mods they sell :)

Plus, who wants to be limited to the 3.7v rod?

@THC SCIENTIFIC will the mod that works with 7.4v rod also work with 3.7, or will I need separate low resistance and high resistance mods for each rod?

Hi every one, I am a new owner of a Herculese sr-74x and persei and am wondering how it performs at 3.7 and how it preforms with only one coil.

@sethhobrin the 8 will be sold at Oilvaporizer.com

It's likely that a rebuild of the 8 and correctly made adjustments will get the SR-71 firing well on the 8. I would be happy to assist with a rebuild of your 8 over Skype if you would like. Several FC'ers have gotten a lot better functionality of their 8's after a few minutes playing on webcam. We can go over things like best way to seat the pins in the discs properly, and how to adjust the top pin perfectly against the SR-71. Add me @samuraisam33 if I can help!

Only one o-ring, one top, one bottom on the glass tank.

I made that video of two water deflectors. A second upgrade kit for $15 would get you two deflectors. I saw a slight increase in performance with 2 deflectors, the bottom one acts as an anchor for the meniscus of the water, and the top one deflects water away from the airflow holes.

The biggest thing the upgrade kit does its the 2 piece upper tube. Its design eliminates the leaking of the original Okeanos and actually makes it so you can take apart the oke without flooding the lower chamber. The additional flat sealing rings ensure no leaking glass!

I'm having a lot more trouble than the screen in the mouthpiece.
This will make the Nibbler XL get dirty quickly, but it can help with airflow. The other thing to pay attention to here is your draw strength- how hard are you pulling? You may need to relax your lungs just a tad if you are pulling up a TON of oil, your technique might need adjusting....

Hi every one, I am a new owner of a Herculese sr-74x and persei and am wondering how it performs at 3.7 and how it preforms with only one coil.
I prefer 7.4 but many like 3.7V with the Black rod! It has a longer heat up time than the white rod but can produce really flavorful vapor with a more relaxed technique than 7.4V. Make sure you use a good battery like an AW 18650. I think the SR-74x works best with only one coil; I don't use my SR-74x with 2 coils, ever.

So I would need to buy two upgrade kits, to have the double water deflector, right?

My 8 is still weak with kiss ac dual cool. I am sick of adjusting the copper top:(. I have been adjusting and adjusting but it work randomly

The issue seams to be in the button some where, constant adjustment isn't needed.

Now let me ask you a question, when you say it is weak with the kiss Ac dual is it at 7.4v?

And are you pressing the button and applying pressure ?

Yes 7.4 and Yes My finger hurts pressing the button

then something is def not right, contact sam, hes gonna give you instructions and how to send it in, i will have to check tolerance levels on this and see if this is a fluke. At the same time i will make a video of your unit and show it to you with proper operations if there is nothing wrong with it.

The videos you guys have made it me definitely helped. I don't normally think of video conferencing as something I'd like, but for tech support it's truly genius.

I bought an istick 50w and my dual coil at 7v starts to glow in a second but my 8 doesn't even glow at all :(
