    I had your problem when my coil would float up the tube. I cleaned 2 quarters and smooshed the coils super hard. Now they're kind of a PITA to put in or take out, but they don't move during use :) Ive seen 1 coil recommended for thick clouds with shatter, that works awesome... Personally I like...

    A little cheaper at http://www.kidneypuncher.com/sony-us18650vtc5-2600-mah/ You somehow missed both the "Titanium KISS" and "Cartridges" categories on their site, dude! http://www.w9tech.com/cartridges/ lists all the UP tech carts. Check that left column a little more closely to make sure you...

    @Vape Dr. my setup is the Black Persei. I went this route because of the stealth of the black SS kit in shorty mode with a KISS, is a great portable setup with a battery that lasts for a long time, I don't need to carry a spare all day. When I am at home in the evenings I use the Hercules and...

    I got my ProTank in today. Much more solid construction than the CE4 tank which has leaked occasionally for me since day 1. I wasn't really expecting instructions with this one until I did a few searches and found a "identifying Kanger protanks" youtube vid that told me these instructions...

    I'm getting ≈1.5Ω on a fairly well used 3.7V Ti KISS and my SR-74 white rod usually reads ≈2.5Ω. Don't have a Black rod...

    Unsure of how "good" this is, but it shows things working. I seem to be able to get way thicker, milkier hits with my SR-74. Maybe I'll try making a video. - Bob Loblaw

    Im not a UP Tech pro yet, like many on this thread, but if you already have a 71 or 74 I would buy a nibbler xl instead of an Okeanos 8 days a week. Just my $0.02 :D. This combo has been extemely reliable and super effective for me so far.

    I agree with some of what Fred said... personally I do find it slightly annoying to have spent over 30 hours reading hundreds of pages of this thread to learn how to use my pricey gear- if more info from this was easily searchable on Vapepedia that would go a ways, so would instructions in the...

    So this is what I was doing wrong causing the oil to run into the bottom chamber. Something in the instructions said something about a fifteen second button hold for a 30 second draw.. so I was just holding the crap out of it, and would begin inhaling after 3 seconds, and let off halfway...

    Forgive my ignorance but how would a mech top be different from the standard Persei top? The PTFE insulators are tiny! I'm not exactly sure where it went... just sort of walked away. I'm happy to report the XTAR XP4 has no problem charging 14250s with the spacers. I've just left the charger on...

    @nao12000 set me straight on a part I lost, and my SR-74 is back and running... so happy with the performance. Set up this morning with a mini SS tube stacked and a pair of 18490s. Hoping to have enough juice to not have to swap batteries until I get home this evening...

    The o-ring's tightness doesn't seal the bag. The bag is folded over the o-ring and then clamped with the fixation ring. This fold is probably the source of your leaks. The folds needs to be done with care and very evenly. You need to avoid ending up with 3, 4 layers sandwiched unevenly. The gaps...

    The amount of herb in the chamber has nothing to do with how the solid valve seals and that's why the liquid pad won't do anything. The seal is made with the top ring which sits on top of the metal chamber no matter how much herb is in the chamber, i.e. the distance the screened plunger goes...

    Not quite sure what you're talking about. I've never had to put in the oil pad to fix a leak in 5 years of use. The seal here is made between the top ring (the one that slides on the post) and the metal chamber on one side, and the top ring and the face of the spring circular tube in the valve...

    I have had awesome results on the shorty tube with 2.4 and 3 ohm carts, with or without Nibbler X, and both original and Ti KISS carts. It's probably my favorite setup for that Nibbler.

    I wish I had done the ticket thing initially. But In my quest to buy more UP tech gear at a great price I picked up a moonlighting gig part time working at a shop that carried their products and also let me buy gear at an even better deal than the forum special. When I broke the double top...

    You are correct that the control light is letting you know what the heater is doing You are incorrect that it is "stressing" the volcano by being on during filling. It should be on during most of the time the bag is filling- that's a properly functioning vape. The light is on the whole time the...

    Leaking at the bag seal here has a few possibilities. 99% of the time it's uneven folding of the bag around the o ring and under the retaining ring. IF you just scrunch up 4 or 5 layers here it's going to leak. You have to take a few minutes and carefully and evenly fold the bag over itself . I...

    Care to fill me in on what's better about the discontinued model? I had a first-gen chrome with the double top I bought the more expensive old model just so I could pair it with an SS kit and have two Persei's, but I have had bad issues with killing tops, and would like to know what I missed out...

    Great minds think alike, I asked the same question two pages ago. I was looking at the Nitecore i4 and xtar xp4, and although neither say they can do 14250s, I bet the included chargers weren't designed to charge them either, hence the spacers. I hope they work with the XP4 because I'm getting...
