Nice, I didn't think about the filter part and I have small pieces of coil in the reclaim. Thanks! How do I know if it's fully evaporated? After three days of sitting out, ventilated, there's no visible alcohol but the reclaim is really runny and unlike it's previous consistency.

Been experimenting with the one you cut for me, which I think is 25 or 30, and one I cut myself at 40. The worst experience is with the 40, using blonde flake that melts very easily. I loaded this in chamber, everything liquified and looked like it went in to the coil. Hits great the first five...

Been experiencing some issues with vapor production and flavor the last couple days. I'm starting to think that certain coils should never be loaded in the chamber. A few reasons being that they can cover the ceramic rod which seems to drop performance in my unit; since there are variations in...

Do yourself a favor if you ever feel a drop in performance, or if you can't get vapor: Check your ceramic rod. If it is blackened, clean the top chamber of the heater core, reassemble with your dirty ceramic rod, then attach your heater core to a bottom insulator. Do not add oil, a coil or use...

I think loading the coil in chamber is a source of problems. You can't see saturation occurring or not, and oil can easily run along the sides of the chamber to the air-holes. Try loading .4 while the coil is on a glass surface. Place wax on top, or the sides, use a torch lighter at a distance...

I meant to post last night about how devastatingly different my Hercules experience has become since meeting with G and Caligula, but Herc put me in a sleeper hold. On to the fun: I now have a completely functioning, completely bad-ass unit and it's only day one of it working at full capacity...

Alright, I believe G is on his way to SD today. We plan on getting two Herc units up and running. I don't know what Caligula's issues were, but for those of you who have a Herc that gets HOT with no vapor, whose outer shell doesn't quite fit, who gets oil consumption without equal vapor...

That's exactly what happens. Takes the rod quite a while to heat up most of the time, and wispy hits or else nothing. Although, I'm not sure if you are losing oil the way some of us are. Are you able to reclaim what you load, or notice a good vapor production to oil consumption ratio...

My experience with the Hercules thus far is directly in line with KindBeat's. You can't be crazy on that notion FriedBanana, but neither can two or more people who are experiencing the same issue (however, to think that your idea of conservatism in oil is going to be the same as another person...

Please do, G, this stuff is too expensive for some of us to be wasting. I normally appropriate wax purchases by the paycheck, and I just burned through two weeks of wax without two weeks of effect.

Yeah, that first part isn't something mentioned in the instruction or elsewhere besides wherever G told it to you. Second, I don't mean that they aren't cataloged officially, I just wanted someone or a group of people who have a consistently working device to break down how they personally put...

Before my tops fried I was in entirely the same position. Loads of oil, piteous amounts of vapor. To ensure it wasn't the seal being broken, I started trying to run the Herc without the outer shell and it started constantly producing (nothing amazing, just small wisps). I think one of the...

That's almost exactly what happened to me, only, without a cartridge my top did not blink but shined constantly when pressed. Then adding the Hercules I got blinking. Then after another try, smoke from the top itself. You should check your batteries and spring, and probably not use the...

I'm having a shit time, people. Tops are fried, 2G's of $$$ wax unaccounted for, and I'm down two AW IMR 18350's just after purchasing two new ones. There is some hope as G rather generously offered to drive down to San Diego and get me sorted out sometime this week. Hopefully I can scrounge...

PM'd, what's your info? Let's let the healing begin! Update, no longer heating up, again. I don't know if I should be constantly messing with the insulator contact screw to make it go again? I've got faith, too, man. Drove up to see you guys in LA and you set all my other gear right. Now...

Done and done. Still the same. If anything, slightly worse. I'm definitely feeling heat after about 40 seconds of having it on, but no vapor. I do get a very minty taste, so that's nice. Not quite what I'm looking for, though. This is my set up: 2 X stock Persei AW IMR 18350's, fresh...

Yeah, have the two stock 18350's and two new EFEST 18350's. Same on both. I notice vapor production after making the initial seal (pressing down the SS cap then adding the mouth piece), but after two hits this goes away. I notice the airflow is different as well, you can feel how tight the seal...

:bowdown: That made all the difference. I've been setting the heater on the insulator, then placing the SS cap on the heater, and then adding the outer shell and mouthpiece. Looked like it was a tight seal that way but apparently not. Edit: Nevermind. That worked for about two hits and now I'm...

I have this feeling my Herc isn't heating correctly. If I hold it down for the 30 second cycle, it doesn't get anywhere near even a slightly orange / red glow. It has to have at least 1.3 loaded as I've just been filling the sumbitch with no real vapor production that stands out from a dying...

THC Scientific, any chance you can get my ticket answered? 1489001 Been waiting near a week with no response. I've resorted to using a cheap variable volt battery unit the last month as both my Persei tops are not performing. The variable volt at 3.7 outperforms anything I've seen out of my...
