G, if you overload the coil it's possible to suck liquefied concentrate into the MP. I've done it.
I understand its possible just making sure his coils are 30% so that we can rule out the coils being height being an issue.
I really do think its the bottom adapter. Somethings wrong with it as its making contact but not a strong contact to allow the larger current to get to the rod so it can heat up.
It just warms up with the current available.
I agree. I've had this issue on and off as well. Maybe a slight redesign of the adapter can solve this? Would running the Hercules without the bottom insulating adapter be okay to troubleshoot this?
What is the danger of running w/o the adapter? Overheating the top?
Correction!Also I might add that the persei has attachments for the herbs but it still does not function easily without a huge learning curve, I know vitolo has been successful but I and a few others have not gotten herb to work consistently in the persei.
Sorry I forgot to add I was talking about the sr-71, I know you are successful using pollen pellets.Correction!
The BENDER is the best tasting portable PERSEI attachment for FLOWERS (HERB as you call it).
When I have the time I prefer to vaporize with the BENDER set up.
Now remember the BENDER is for the CONNOISSEUR.
If you love cannabis more than the machine then try the BENDER PERSEI combination.
Just stir between rips and have you house slippers on.

What does it mean when your top flashes like a strobe light!!!! Then you unscrew put it back on and it's fine And every time I inhale the light flickers!!!

Thanks bro all info is good!!If it flashes 3 times then its the short circuit protection, it does this a a lot due to the battery rattling around & any slight movement or setting down will cause this. No need to be alarmed as its normal.
If your using the adjustable plate then you could slightly raise battery a bit to help this but do not raise it too much.
The SS kit You cant adjust and just eventually get used to it, sometimes it resets it self and I think I am getting power but then quickly realize I have to press button once again to activate.
Just read your above post, might be a short or bad top, maybe batteries not sure. Usually when light stays on like that it starts smoking and fry's out , but seems you got lucky on this one with the quick action.Thanks bro all info is good!!
Yes I had this happen with one top, it did not smoke but the light behaved oddly. Later the light seemed to work but the top was dead. If you click on the envelope icon on the w-9 website and tell them what happened they will get right back to you and get you squared away.Just read your above post, might be a short or bad top, maybe batteries not sure.

Hey jpdnkstr:Definitely agree, the bottom insulator needs redesigning to make better contact, I carry Herc, Persei separate in my pocket, assembly means sometimes disassembling the Herc... not convenient.
hey G, just got my black rod... was wondering if you could tell me what the resistance should be on a correctly assembled herc with the black rod set up? i'm still using the old tops, and don't want to blow one...
thanks to anyone else who might be able to help.

Hey jpdnkstr:
Your avatar is that a BENDER?
Yes it is! My go to flower vape until my HI arrives! I also have a Volcanoe and MFLB that don't get much action anymore. I agree with you on the best taste ever- you can also get huge clouds with good technique, even through water(I ran the bender on my mobius 60t recently, was quite surprised at the great performance! ) I also would like to thank you for the pollen pellet idea!
Are the Efest IMR 18350 800mah 3.7v High Drain Li-mn worthy of seeing action in the Persei? I know my current batts are 900 mah, didn't know how much I'd be giving up by dropping to 800. Thanks for any input
