I can definitely agree with many of those points. My original 3.7v hercules is essentially a paper weight, it shouldn't take 10-20 minutes of constant shaking to vape a couple pinches, not even worth it at that point. Thought about trying to sell it but really I don't wanna do that to anyone...
I'm no longer able to reproduce the dim light/blinking.
I am TEMPTED to say that it was the result of improper hercules assembly, but it worked fine on batteries other than a single 18350. But, i am not currently getting dimming on any top or battery. I guess I'll keep a look out
Only with the 3.7v herc. Double stacked and a 7.4v herc lights fine, and 3.7v KISS carts work/light up fine
EDIT: i think it's the top. i have a V2 numbered top that lights up fine with the 3.7v herc and an 18350, but my R numbered top does not
For some reason with ANY of the 18350's i have (AW or stock, and 7 batteries total), the blue light on my top is extremely dim when running the 3.7v SR71.
The same top lights up normally when using a single 18650.
is this typical?
I would say that the particular coil I was using came up just less than half way above the part of the rod that actually sticks through. Swapped to a TI coil and put a dollup of wax in and im getting visible (though not thick) exhales now, so its an improvement
I have 2 black rods. The cracked one does not get warm or produce vapor, but the other one does get warm and produces (whispy) hits so far. It has a resistance of about 0.9 ohm. I believe my coil is too short to be getting proper hits with this rod
This coil is definitely smaller than a TI coil. i have a pre-loaded TI coil at my girlfriends place so I'll try swapping coils and try that one when I get over there. I was able to get this other black rod in and tightened down without issue, and it's at least getting warm enough to produce...
fully assembled herc is reading about 2.8ohm
can't test the rod by its self as it broke trying to take it out.
*EDIT* the rod is cracked so that the central rod is showing, but theres still a little bit of the lead on the bottom, and the top one is undamaged. I don't get any reading on my...
I'm using a single fully charged AW 18350 on the shorty with probably .5-.7 loaoded in so far with a SS cut coil that's around 1/3 the length of a full one, with an SR71 black rod. I too, got this as a dedicated black rod unit
Got a nice little pool over my coil and rod and getting whisps at best when puffing after a 15 second heatup, and exhaling nothing after a *very* gentle pull Any chance it's cause I'm using a single coil with not enough total wax?
This seems like it's going to be a waste of time and battery...
Got my 3.7v rod in last night and it seemed like it was only getting hot enough to melt my wax but not vape it
recharged all my batteries we'll see what happens today
Same thing happened here. Except they told the owner to start carrying w9tech stuff and he didnt. But they all bought w9 gear.
So no not really same thing
If I purchased a new warranty for a double top does that warranty then last another year? Or do I have to buy it each time one gets serviced.
If I have to purchase the warranty each time the unit gets sent in, i'll be pretty upset that I didn't take the 3 kiss carts since those were being...
So the nibbler XL x hercules is probably the best way to consume period and I see no real reason to have an oil rig or bong with it.
I mean, I'm going to keep my pieces, but they're not necessary by any measure. it doesn't matter how medicated you're trying to get, the herc + nibbler will get...
