Is there a splash guard for oil splatter? I heard something about that.

We are slowly phasing in deeper coils to help with a splash guard. The reason we don't add a physical splash guard is because it gets dirty with oil and gets stuck, just not worth it to have a splash guard you need to take off consistently to load. People who quickly use one will realize that it is a pain in the ass and not worth the benefit when better designs are out there.

Hello. I just ordered a Persei and Hercules from you. Sam was very helpful and they got here incredibly fast! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm doing something wrong because although the taste is very good, the clouds are extremely small. The KISS cartridges that come with the Persei put out significantly larger clouds.

I thoroughly read all instructions and watched the video of it being taken apart and put together about 5 times. Unfortunately I still seem to have messed something up. I would appreciate any tips anyone has! Thanks

I'm still excited about this thing. I'm sure it will live up to the hype once I get it figured out. The KISS cartridges are already a lot better than the Gentleman's vapes cartridges I used in the past.

There is definitely enough in there. At first I made a mess overloading it.

(That's a very cool stand btw. I would want one, but I can't afford to want one lol)

Ok thanks. I thought I read someone say something about a honeycomb glass barrier within the nibbler. I must have been mistamen. Thanks for responding so promptly!

@TelFiRE Assuming everything is assembled correctly etc, IMO you need to load a fair amount. i.e. 0.5g as a primer and then up to another 0.5g to get the clouds going.

i actually get the best results loading smaller amounts i prime my coils with .2-.3 and load maybe .1-.2 on top and get very nice clouds i originally loaded much more when i first got it and got wispy hits because the oil was taking too long to heat up

I will jump in here and second this.
I have better results with a smaller primer (.2-.3) and then I consider anything I put on top of that the material I am going to vape for the day.
You do not have to re load every day like I do but I find that it keeps the flavor top notch the longest and gives the biggest clouds

Sure, but isn't it a sign that something's wrong other than just amount loaded if I'm not getting herculean sized hits, regardless of load? Like in my assembly, or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I mean I get much much more from the KISS.

Can you check the resistance of the rod?
IF you really think your Herc is under performing then it could be either rod placement or batteries
Are you using the batteries that came with the persei? Because in order to get the best performance you need the AW IMR series batteries (not included with Persei kit)

Well I mean it's definitely underperforming, but it's most likely something I did wrong. Just trying to figure it out. I don't know how to check the resistance of the rod. I am not using the batteries that came with the Persei but the ones recommended for the Herc.

Could be a few things, Most commonly is the Rod placement inside the Hercules, second issue could be a bad battery. Please submit a ticket on our site and Sam our friendly neighborhood Technician will get you up and running asap.



And yet again another side note.


I wanted to say that we are working on a bigger version of the Bender, a stand along unit that is not like the current one that will work on the 2x18650 8 vaporizer.

We just received the one part that took us 1 year to perfect, and already have the other parts and now just waiting for the circuit board.

Man I introduced an old friend to my herc the other day and it's got me depressed a few months ago I started having a problem where any time I medicate I get really dizzy and feel like I'm having a panic attack and I have no idea why and I really miss my herc

Ok will do! Just didn't wanna bother you guys if it was a common problem. It's awesome how active you guys are responding to people! Thanks!

Picked up another 8 off oilvaporizer.com because woohoo $80


it's pretty night and day compared to my other 8 which, while working better, is still finicky and odd. Pretty much confirms something is up with my original. I wanna say its because of a threading issue cause the button contact is kind of cock eyed when screwed all the way in and as far as i can tell im not mis/crossthreading anything. Really glad to see how the 8 probably *should* be working and have an idea of how to resolve my issues and potentially have 2 great units

I think I'll grab 1 or 2 of the $30-ish ones. I just need to find/get a precise measurement for the persei diameter, the best I have is a ruler. I really like the style of them.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SentimetalKeepsakes?section_id=15045841
Snagged some calipers to measure for ya... My Persei measure from 23.97mm to 24.01mm if you want to be real specific. Chrome V2 is my thickest at 24.01 and my V4 unit is 23.97.

@TelFiRE I've asked about Nibbler XL availability. As soon as I hear back you'll know :)

well. It's working now. Soooo good. :rockon:Beats my dab rig for flavor and now the clouds are great!

Amazing work on the Hercules SR-74x. Thank you so much for help getting it working. This thing is godly. :clap:

Glad Sam was able to get you up and running.

On a side note on a desk far far away is sitting our Plans of opening up our new location, within the next three weeks we will be getting our answer if they are willing to accept us as a neighbor.

Walk in clients will be again welcomed. Hopefully.

If anyone is interested in rebuilding the dual coils for the AC, 7 wraps on each coil with 32 gauge NiChrome wire at 20 Watts is pure extacy.

Did you pinch the wires together so only one wire is heading to the supply?
