What kind of wire do you guys recommend for rebuilding KISS carts? I want to rebuild both 3.7v and 7.4v carts. Ti vs nichrome vs kanthal? What gauge? Where do you guys order this stuff from? @vjt324 Don't forget to only twist the Nibbler clockwise as you put it on and take it off the Herc...

Chances are you're not getting a good seal on the top O-ring on the mouthpiece. Try swapping that O-ring with the other ones you got and see if you can get a better seal. Same thing happened to me!

I already sent mine back to be replaced so no pics. I wasn't sure if I could soak the base completely but I did try and clean all the contacts with ISO but it didn't help.

Thank Jebus! My V4 top and replacement Okeanos base are waiting for me at home. It's been almost 3 weeks! @StormyPinkness My Okeanos eventually stopped providing any power to the carts at all. If I screwed the cart straight into the Persei it would work fine. I'm not sure what the problem was...

I've been delinquent in getting a multi-meter but I think I really need to get one. I don't plan on using it for anything other than checking the SR74 and KISS carts. Should I get the simple one from W9 or a standard one (with the probes) from Amazon? If you guys think I should get one from...

I'm putting in as much wax as I put in the last 20-30 kiss carts I've used. There was just enough wax droplets that floated up to seal the cup to the cap. I'm not sure why this is happening with these new carts and never before. Maybe the cups don't fit as tightly in the housing as they used to...

3 out of the last 4 KISS carts I bought from W9 have broken after the second time using them. I use them once and then when I go to unscrew the cap to add more for a second time, the ceramic cup sticks to the cap. This means the entire cup and wick gets torn out of the housing and stays stuck...

My V3 top has started acting buggy. It constantly turns itself off while I'm using it, mostly with KISS carts but also with my Herc. Is this something anyone else has experienced? My batteries are adjusted well, so it's not losing that connection. Is this enough to qualify me for a V4 top...

@stimp_420 Ok, the tip about using a wooden skewer to wind the coil sounds very useful. How do you transfer from the skewer to the wick without letting the coil unwind? Any other tips or tricks you can share with the group?

Has anyone successfully use the repair kit to make a new KISS cart? How do you wind the wire around the wick without it unwinding like crazy as soon as you let go? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I've wasted almost a whole $30 kit without making a single cart. I'm going out of town this...

So, I've read this thread for quite a while now and I don't remember anyone else with my current issue. It seems that the very bottom of my Okeanos (the plate that the kiss cart screws into) is not working. I have three different kiss carts that work perfectly when screwed directly into my...

I'm pretty unsatisfied with the complete lack of directions or help with the rebuild kits. I have pretty much wasted all of the material and haven't made a good cart yet. Trial and error sucks. I can tell you theoretically how it is supposed to work. The wire on the spool is the part you...

1) Yes, disassemble and clean the Sr74 before using. This will remove any thing left on it from when it was manufactured, and it will get you familiar with the Herc. 2) 7.4v all the way! 3.7v takes a lot of technique. 3) Drop the wax into the Herc, hold the button for 2-4 seconds at a time and...

Thanks @DieHard ! I'm not sure what gauge this Ti wire is but it supposedly works for both 3.7v and 7.4v. I was going to try 5/4 for the 7.4v but I'm not sure about the 3.7v. Do you think I should try 4/3 or 3/2?

So, I guess I was hoping the KISS rebuild kit would come with some sort of instructions but no such luck. Anybody use one of these official kits to rebuild a cart? I've installed pre-made wick and wire setups that I got from SleepinginCA but this kit looks different. For example I have no...

That's what I've been doing so far, but the problem is I managed to get oil down in the threading where the KISS cart screws in. I could use a Q-Tip and ISO but just soaking the whole thing would be much easier. @DieHard Since you are our resident expert, I have a rebuild question for you. My...

Okeanos question, gentlemen. How do I go about cleaning the very bottom plate? I mean the part that the kiss cart screws into and that screws into the Persei? Can I soak the whole thing In ISO?

G As usual , as soon as I posted I figured it out. I just had to actually think about it for a minute. Thanks!

I just got the new Okeanos update kit today and it is huge improvement! My one concern is that in the product description it says it comes with "the new white O-Rings for the Okeanos Glass". Instead I got a little baggie with these orange o-rings that don't seem to work for anything let alone...

I ordered the Okeanos the day it came out but I always had so many clogging issues that I just put it away until the upgrade became available. I was super excited to see the Okeanos upgrade had finally shipped to my house today, but when I opened the package instead of the upgrade it had what I...
