Our philosophy is to improve and always strive to go forward. We use the ceramic heaters instead of the more industry standard heating wire design for many reasons.
Theory:
We know that heating wire is the industry standard and because it’s the easiest type to research it is also the fastest way to make vapor clouds. It might be the easiest and fastest but it is not the best when it comes to vaporizing. Vaporization is best when the heat is applied equally to your material as to raise the temperature to the point of vaporization and not the point of combustion, With heating wires or coil designs flash vaporization is the process that instantly vaporizes the essential oil. This works wonders if you can control the temperature, but since this is not the case and that heating wires glow red hot within a second or two what this means is oil is also burning along with being vaporized, how you may ask, well hold the button long enough and it will get the burn't taste, well this is what is called a hybrid smoke/vapor. Many if not all herbal vaporizers use a heater that brings the temperature to a point of vaporization why can’t we use the same with essential oil vaporizers? Well like we said easiest way is on/off method with the heating wire type vaporizers or you can strive with us for something revolutionary that takes some getting used to, but it does provide you with better results.
Our Reasoning.
Almost all the herbal vaporizers increase the temperature steadily until it is where it needs to be for vaporizing herbs, why can’t we use it with oils? Well we can but we will get to that in a few, for now let’s talk about our cartridges, with our cartridge design we started an industry that is now populated with more knock offs and rebrands of the same device or design than any other industry, ok so moving on we noticed that while oil was being vaporized it was also slightly burning if pressed for too long and the residue left behind even on clean essential oils was that of oils being burned. That is why many manufacturers if not all will ask you to boil it, ISO baths, and even torch sessions to burn off everything the heater cant vaporize. This is the issue with pen style vaporizers they use heaters that are built for the ecig industry that are used for vaporizing liquid that is a lot more viscous easier to wick up and lower vaporizing temps. Users in the ecig industry do not use a 10-30 second pulls as the essential oil market does, this is the reason why these types of heaters don’t work well in the essential oil industry. Taking this into consideration we thought about it and decided what if we can build an essential oil vaporizer that is not the industry standard but the future of the industry. Well that is big dream from a little company because of many others going against evolution with their glass rods, better parts (polish a turd it’s still a turd we say) or claims of being the best bla bla bla bla bla bla. Well we are going to try at least. All units no matter what will leave residue some you can clean some you can try to clean. When this residue is left behind and its being cooked over and over again, this is creating smoke not vapor with many other harmful elements all mixed with your vapor aka hybrid vapor (smoke/vapor). Now why would anyone want to vaporize but settle for hybrid vapor?
Our Solution.
The solution is the Hercules Sr-71, with the Sr we have removed all heating wires, what this does is not just go against the industry standard and push the envelope but also increases performance, vapor quality, quantity, and best of all a device that is built from the ground up to vaporize oils and not a cross over from the electronic cigarette market.
1.We removed the ecig type heaters thus removing any hybrid vapor (temp is user controlled now)
2.We removed the silica wick and or glass rods ( for a small few who think it’s a glass rod )
3.We removed all solder
4.We removed all wires of any kind. ( No more ni-chrome 80 wire)
5.We removed all silicone
6.We also added an option for a Nibbler XL (no more drops of water to cool it down)
7.We use only quality parts that we sourced for the Hercules
8.Built tough to withstand daily use.
Simply put the Hercules Sr – 71 is everything that vapor enthusiast needs.
1.You can load as you go if you wish,
2.You can have pre - loaded tanks or coils,
3.You can load a gram easily
4.You can recover all your oil
5.You can boil it, or iso bath it.
6.You can service your own device so no more down time.
7.1 Year warranty against manufacturers defects ( including heater )
Now going to Bobs video at around 1:20 you will see the vapor double if not triple. This is a nice method we see Bob discovering.
I am not sure if this was explicitly stated by G (and I read through pages 418-422 when it was officially announced), but will the SR-71 work with the 7.4 HVD Omicron? Delta9 site only specifies the voltage required, I assume its Persei only but I wanted to double check since its not clearly stated on the product page.
Edit: what got me confused are the product reviews from the past on the Hercules SR-71 page. One of the reviews states:
Omicron V2 and HVD are the Bomb!!!

I just got the HVD kit for my Omicron. I love it. I now just have to get some higher resistance cartridges. May I ask if the hercules will work with the HVD now that it is the higher voltage? I do not want to order it if it will not work, but it soulds like exactly what i need.
You need a Persei to make the Herc work.
hey guys I dont have time to look through all the pages but I'm part of the original hercules order and I was wondering if the replacement ready yet? Thanks!
We will announce replacements in a few weeks or end of month the latest if all goes well.
For early adopters beta tests are valuable. Also, I think it makes a better and quicker product. If the business doesn't have that opportunity for beta testing it would take much longer and slow the development. WEe all loose.
Still, I am not unhappy with my Persei, and as you said, "the SR-71 is going to put this mess to bed!" So what's the difference if I don't know all of the "tech and science" involved? I'll just keep vapin' on!
