will try that when i get home from work tomorrow. My new kiss cart should be here today so i may justfully clean then put the sr74x away & order all the spare parts so i have extras when the kiss breaks again.warm some iso in the microwave for 15 seconds, dunk the gold spring piece. After it stops leaching, pull it out torch it lightly, wipe down inside where the connection is with cotton swabs andn clean iso. Shouod be perfect after
very interested in doing this as a temp. fix did you just squeeze down in the middle w. the rod extended fully ?If neither of those methods work I pulled the spring loaded pin out and crimped it fully extended with pliers so it can't retract that worked pretty well until I got my replacement
Everyone asks about the Hercules black vs white rods with oil, who's tried a comparison between the rods with flower? Anyone use a screen for flower or just take the coils out and roll with it?

<- Fully enjoying non-spring loaded SR-71. Added Bonus IMO!
For $8.99, it seems like a good idea to have a spare post/pin in your kit. I actually have 2 spares, ready to rock at a moments notice. I NEVER want to experience a "dry-docked" Herc again.
Speaking of "spare" parts, I have an SR-71 White Rod that I have no purpose for, as I employ the SR-74. The rod has never been used. I would like to find it a good home and would be glad to give it away to the first interested party for just the cost of shipping.
EDIT: The Rod is spoken for.
I tried that but I didn't work properly still. Ended up just crimping it which I must say broke it immediately. But I just ripped the spring out (it wasn't seared properly it turns out and was all mangled up) then put the post back in & now it's flat enough that it gets stuck at the top of the tube which allows the rod to make a solid connectionBefore you crimp it, you can try lowering your ceramic heating rod to compress the spring completely, leaving no room for oil between connections, save for that one friend who knows how to drown your shit. My gold connector is discolored from being torched, spring doesnt return, still fires just like new.
That didn't work for me. I ended up just breaking it & putting it together my way. Works now & should hold up until I decide to get a new gold piece. My kiss cart cane in today though so I plan on mainly using that for now.Please heed @bdmonkeyj3w words of wisdom; adjust the rod down further instead of intentionally damaging your parts. I've had my SR74 had been drowned in a pool of oil, center pin not springing up, 6 weeks since I cleaned it, and it still worked fine since the rod position had been set by a test-fit (leave the rod out further then it should be, leave the retaining collar slightly loose so the rod can slide, assemble the herc. The rod slides up as much as it has to, but no more. Take it apart, tighten it up, reassemble)

Never tried herb in my Herc. Herc for me also, gets made into shatter. Although I still like to vape a load in my Solo.So first thing i did with my black rod 74 was flower with no ti. Gross. Had to clean and reassemble immediately. Tried 1 ti with oil and some herb on top, was ok, got more flower flavor but still didnt vape herb well. Realized i no longer like herb. all herb turns to concentrates in my possession now. i really wanted the herc to run herb and oil, but i came to a point where herb was unappealing and stopped messing with it in herc.

I can't wait to read all about the details☺Not sure if I mentioned this but the Kiss Alpha Centauri will go into production in 2 weeks. Stay tuned for more information like price and other things. The final version is not going to be what the price is listed on the site because of what the finished product is but I'm confident you guys are going to love it.
All in due time but the donuts are in production.
