Yes!Does the double long configuration outperform having two small 3.7s in the regular tube? Or is it just for striking visual effects?

Oh no, this will ensure the ability to sustain maximum performance over a much longer period of time. Typically, I only get material leaking into the bottom core chamber when one of two things happen. Either I've sucked too hard and pulled the coil up off the chamber base, or my batteries are getting low (both of which royally piss me off). This is to help remedy the latter situation.
Also, its probably just a placebo effect but I feel that Im getting easier/thicker vapor production VS with two fully charged AW or EFEST 18350s.
Can anyone comment on that last part? @OF @THC SCIENTIFIC @Bob Loblaw ?
G, when did you say youd have nibbler xl's in stock again?
Also, are they going to be going on sale anytime?[/quote
They will be in on Monday ! I received shipping notification on Friday!
Now I Want A SS Kit And Hydratibe For My SoloNooooooooooooooooooooooo! That sucks so much.
In better news, I got my new 18650 batteries so can put my SS kit to good use. This thing is fucking huge (that's what she said)!

Question @THC SCIENTIFIC
What is the company name? I've seen Delta 9, Warp 9, Utopia Planitia.
Is W9 the whole company, whereas UP is your own brand of R&D?

@Atomsk,
I'm not the only one not having issues tho. I've been following this post right along, and it seems
to me that pretty much everyone is up and running now, except for only a couple people. To me, the ones that are still having issues means it's either user error or u got a faulty Herc! Which if that's the case, u should just fill out a ticket and trade it in for a whole new one! And u also met with G and he got it running for u, didn't he?? I'm just commenting from my observations. I'd like to see everyone up and running! And I haven't had the best of luck with everything either. I've had a few fried tops, faulty threading on both my tops and the threading breaking in half on my Herc, two faulty hammer carts for my bender, and a broken heating rod retaining sleeve so far in my venture with W9 Tech, so I've definitely had my fair share of bad luck! But they have always made it right for me. So I don't see why they wouldn't for u.
Edit: Sorry for posting so late to ur response, I've been busy and haven't had a chance to catch up.

NP man. I appreciate that you understand some people might have messed units and that you're hoping for the best for everyone. I just don't think it's always "obviously user error." And for people to categorically shoot down other peoples experiences as user error from the word go, that annoys me as someone who has spent hours daily on his Hercules and can practically declare it as a Minor.
I can understand how most people are just seeing user error, but diligent users who are careful and understand what should be happening, shouldn't. The fact that I met with G should say something. It wasn't my error the first time it wasn't working, I had the process down. My gripes were first with the inconsistencies I was facing.
If yesterday I hit the Hercules one way, shouldn't it be the same today? Looking at it as the equation X + Y = Vape, where X represents me and how I use, load, and maintain the Herc, and Y represents the Hercules itself, if it was working perfectly for a week and then Vape changes when X stays constant, doesn't that mean the other change is in Y, the Hercules?
Because, as I've expressed, before my Hercules was permanently out of commission, it was already seeing drops in performance when I was treating it the exact same way as the day G came to see me. Sure I experimented a little with different loading techniques at one point (two coils pancaking oil / loading outside the Herc), I returned to simply keeping the coil inside the Herc and loading from the top with pulses on the button to melt down concentrate, and that was great until it wasn't.
I know the problem is with my unit. I was never offered a new working Herc for this old, non-working one. I was just told that the problem lies with me and that I must drive to LA to prove my case. And I will when I have the time and resources, Mid-December.

This is pretty much exactly my method too. And I get awesome clouds that taste amazing! It takes a second or two longer to heat up and get vapor with the black rod so I puff in it like a cigar until I visibly see vapor, and then I start my hit. I only feather off the button maybe once and then hold it right back down. It won't burn your oil. I can try to help people too if u need it. Just pm me as well. I haven't used the white rod since I got the black on bcuz the flavor is amazing with the black one. Now I got the core too and I use the black rod at 4 volts and I think it's perfect! I love my Persei/Herc!! It's my main daily driver right now! And I've definitely put it to the test! ;-)
Edit:@Atomsk,
That sucks man! I'd drive up there too if ur not too far from him. And I am sorry if I came off as rude, I guess I was just trying to let u know that mine does the same thing when I buffer a new coil, until I get enough oil in there. Also, I find that after a while the coils get kinda gunked up or something bcuz it seems to start heating it less efficiently after alot of oil has been vaped thru it. That's when I switch them out for a new one and I save the used buffered coils to clean them and reclaim the oil from them eventually and reuse them. That's why I'm looking forward to the titanium coils that are coming out. But anyway, I wish u the best of luck in getting yours running, and if I can somehow help in any way, let me know.

To be fair didn't G offer to buy back/replace the unit if it's defective or alternately, get it running to your satisfaction if it's serviceable? I may have missed a detail or two though?

Yes, but that's only if I drive up.
I was responding to Vaporholic, who said that I could have just made a ticket and swapped out for a new one. Was never offered that option. Just that mine would be worked on.
Only time I've seen them give someone a new Hercules for a faulty one was when G came down and swapped out yours. Wish he could've done the same for me, might've circumvented all my troubles, but at the time he thought that my issue was just the rod, which was faulty.

I was hoping someone could clarify something for me.
I want to get a cart that makes the most clouds and has the strongest medication effect, i dont really care about the taste as much.
Im looking at the SR-71 and the KISS cart, i understand that sr-71 has really good flavor but other than that what are the advantages?
Also i saw the bubbler video that you guys posted should i wait for that product or will it be a while till its on the market?

@Atomsk the reason we want you to drive up is for use to eliminate user error 100%.
I want to personally see how you assemble and load your unit.
The way the Hercules is designed is if properly put together it should work 100% of the time unless the rods gone out.
Only reasons it won't work is because of user error and or Persei issue. The rod we replaced in San Diego was later tested and that worked as well in another Hercules. We are really perplexed as to why your Herc is having so much trouble.
We are simply lost and and willing to accept it's the Herc but I need to make sure that all possible causes by user error are eliminated when trying to fix the issue before we dig deep into the why your Herc never worked right.
Hope you can come up and we get you up and running completely.

@THC SCIENTIFIC,
Hey G, do u know if that new bottom connector for my Herc, that I spoke on the phone with u about, shipped out yet? I haven't received an email yet. I'm just wondering bcuz the threading completely broke in half now on my Herc and I got it all rigged up to keep it attached! Lol. So I could definitely use the new bottom connector asap! Thanks.

Not sure been super busy training new employee. I hope you can forgive me if I might have not pushed it out for shipment. Call in Monday if you can to make sure I do. Sorry for any issues. This is what happens when I answer phone calls. I should stay away from phones.

Ok, will do. Yea, I guess I can forgive ya! ;-) Just kidding. But PLEASE send it out as soon as possible! Thank you.
Cleaned the Hercules, reassembled it and just put the lower heater attached to the Persei.
Light goes on and stays on constantly as I press power.
I connect the top heater and attempt to press the button, it goes blue light three times again.
Don't have any clue as to what to do next.
Edit: Switched batteries to a set of fully charged batteries (both 18350) and now using the Persei alone, it just keeps blinking 3 times even when trying with the 1 3.7v battery. Think the top just burned out.

Hello FC Addicts,
Just a very noob question about the SS Kit : if i use the 'one single 18350' config (7,4V), can i use all the cartridges in these modes : (taken from the VaporPedia page)
And finally can i use this use this config with the SR-71 (black/white rod) ?
I apologize if this has been ever asked, i've tried to search the entire thread, but found nothing. Thanks for your help !

- 1.5 ohm, 4.9 amp --- 36.3 watts
- 2.4 ohm, 3 amps ----- 22.2 watts
- 3 ohm, 2.5 amps ----- 18.5 watts
- 4 ohm, 1.85 amps --- 13.7 watts
- 5 ohm, 1.5 amps ----- 11.1 watts
And finally can i use this use this config with the SR-71 (black/white rod) ?

The SS Kit would only work with the 1.5 and 2.4 ohm cartridges, along with the 3.7 KISS Cart I believe.
You would need to use 2 of the 18350 batteries for it to work the the Bender and Hercules SR-71.
Which the 3,4,5 ohm cartridges would need as well, though I think these cartridges would still work with 1 battery but they would be getting much weaker hits and not performing to their potential.
Basically the SS kit is just a shorter tube for both types of batteries for more portability, you need to purchase the Persei kit to be able to use the Bender and Hercules SR-71.
