Hey boss, it's been a few since I've been able to find the time to figure this beast of an SR-71 out and have finally had a couple days to really sit with it and try to figure it out.
After catching up a bit with what's been going on here, I am kind of confused as to what the problem is with the Persei heads and its issues regarding the power button not wanting to work.
I received the newest generation of Persei heads with my SR-71's as part of the non serial numbered Persei update and am unfortunately affected by this issue as well. It happened a few times in the beginning but is happening more and more frequently the more use it gets.
Anyways, I eventually got my last coil cut to ~40% so that the rod sticks out just a bit above it. All put together properly, I primed the coil and added a nice dab to the top, loaded it up and the thing ran like a damn beast, especially when connected to a micro rig. You can take ridiculously huge rips as long as you're easy on the power. I find I start getting a pretty decent amount vapor at about the 5 second mark and then let off at around 8 seconds and feather the power button after that to maintain a steady stream of vapor. I Always cool it down as much as I can at the end of my hit and then continue after exhaling for a half minute at a time depending on the size/duration of the session.
I've gone through about 7g of shatter in the past couple days and I can't seem to keep it from leaking oil from around the rod no matter how long I cool it down or how I store it. It always seems to eventually creep down between the splits in the threaded portion where the nut tightens the rod. The oil seems to then go down through those slits and the little crevice that runs down the side of the rod into the bottom chamber coating the connection at the bottom which seems to (maybe?) disrupt the said connection as performance begins to deteriorate once a couple/few grams of meds have been run through it. Taste also seems to be affected as well after heavy use until it is cleaned.
No matter how hard I try, it doesn't seem like the center nut is able to be completely tighetend down properly. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the centre section doesn't seem to be completely level/centered once the center nut is tightened down and I'm wondering if this could be the cause of some of the leaking?
As I was cleaning my SR-71 this morning, I managed to be awesome and drop one of the damn PTFE bushings down the sink. Naomi was nice enough to add one to my order once we fixed it. So until I receive my replacement bushing and figure the SR-71 and the leak out, I'm holding off on the Core. Instead, I ordered an SS kit and a few KISS carts to try.

, but i have damn near 100% success with it
i personally was surprised by how long it can keep going.
