Welcome to the fun of sharing! It beats a friend knocking over an expensive bong and never getting payment...
Do you have the 750* or 1200* hammer? I wasn't impressed myself while using the 750* for oil but the 1200* gets the job done. I wouldn't say it replaces a torch in normal situations but it does a good job when you run out of fuel after store hours. I also find it to give a tastier hit since its not as hot as a torched nail preserving terpenes.
Here is front and back photos of the three generations of tops. If yours looks like the one on the left side in either photo you should follow the instructions in the post you quoted.
