Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

[Caligula]

Thats how it works, the oil liquifies and runs down the rod in the center, vaporizing the material. I top off once I no longer see material on top of the coil.

Hey guys,

I've had my persei for about a month and I love it! Started with the 2.4s, then moved on to the 1.5s. 2.4s were pretty good, 1.5s were great! I do love lung busting hits so i moved to the 5 ohm carts. Fast forward to now and I burnt out both 5 ohm carts i owned. I think i went a little overboard on the button. I usually use a 3 seconds on 5 seconds off technique but I guess it got too hot. I tried to have as much time between hits but this thing is just too good to just look at.

I am now looking at the hercules (as well as extra aw 18630's) because as much as I love these carts, i want something a little more reliable and consistent. Can these things take a lot of heat? Cause i really don't wanna fork over money every couple months replacing these parts.

Also, I live in Canada so where would be the best place to order?

Cheers!

The Herc is great because it can't be burnt out. If you ride the button too much, the oil might leak into the bottom chamber (where you can reclaim it), and/or the oil will taste funny. But there's no damage to the heating element. I dry burn the heck out of mine to get the rod clean. The thing really is bulletproof.

Definitely take you business to the Canadian vendor Planet Vape. They are awesome. Many of us in the US use them too.

@swanky you can use a cake icing fill tool on the old style W9 carts. In fact thats where the W9 fill tool idea came from. I believe @Vitolo was the guy to figure it out. The size he uses is in the vaporpedia entry for the Persei.

That being said, (IMO) the old style carts are garbage compared to the KISS and Hercules and I personally wouldn't bother with those.

@ataxian

A. Yes I know you like the old skool 2.4 carts. I still dislike them.

B. W9 offers the 7.4v KISS cart for cloud chasers. You sacrifice some flavor for more instant and larger clouds. You also sacrifice longtivity as the 7.4s seem to burn out much quicker.

I think the HERCULES is the most powerful without sacrificing flavor. In fact it's the strongest!
The K.I.S.S. I love and have found it cheap however effective.
I use the 2.4 carts because I have so many! Trying to use them up. In Fact I have my first PERSEI (CHROME) fitted with a 2.4 cart as I write. To go to sleep this puts me out! I like the K.I.S.S. cart a lot in fact it's being tuned up. Still the HERCULES hands down is powerful and flavorful! I'm in the process for tuning up my tools. I have too much stuff! That's the real problem.
2.4's are super easy. I have a couple of 5.0's that setup with a dual head that is nuts! However with the HERCULES you don't need to do this. I do it because I have it!
Works well anyway!

The Hercules is designed for the user to service it. Unlike other oil vapes where you have to send it in every few months to get it cleaned out and serviced the Hercules you just take it apart and clean it out and with the new tops specifically designed for Hercules duty the Persei will be a vape that cant be matched.

What do you do about oil that runs down into the cup? I seem to get a lot down in there.

Well thats easily fixed you just have to cool it down more and when your doing a 30 second hit do 15 with the button on and 15 off, the hercules still produces vapor long after you let go of the button. This is because of the surface area of the ceramic and the heat contained inside. You have to cool it down in order for the oil to stay up top. It is a design that we incorporated to save your oil from being vaporized from the residual heat.

I would love to order the Sr-74 from planetvape but I only see the Sr-71 on their site. Where do you usually order the Sr-74?

 

[syrupy]

I would love to order the Sr-74 from planetvape but I only see the Sr-71 on their site. Where do you usually order the Sr-74?

I would email them and ask. Sometimes they get new versions of things like the Herc without changing the web site first. If you are set on a SR-74, you can email them periodically to see when the old stock runs out and the 74 is being sold. Or buy directly from w9.

@THC SCIENTIFIC , thanks. I was actually asking that question in regards to the KISS cart. Maybe I was confused about what @Caligula was referring to when I replied.

So my question better phrased is, what do you do with oil that runs off the KISS coil and into the cup below? If this happens does it mean I'm overloading the cart?

I think @syrupy was talking about the kiss cart. Like I was...could be wrong though

But i keep loading it and it seems like every time
I check it, all the oil is run into the resvoir around the rod and coil. I load it, take a hit or two, and open it up and all the oil is surrounding the rod and coil but not on top of it. If i then press the button the oil liquifies and kind of covers the rod again.

Edit: looks like syrupy beat me to it

 

[syrupy]

Yes, @Mynameismud described the issue I'm talking about perfectly.

 

[Sleepin in CA]

Tip it horizontally while pressing button. Think tiny liquor bottle taking sips. That's how I roll...unless I'm using glass of course.

Ok guys heres is an update on the Iris v2.

The prototype model will not have the boost circuit as it is just simply not reliable in this form.

The Settings go from 3.5v to 7.4v ( final production numbers might be (3.0v - 7.4v)
Short circuit protection
Battery charge indicator




Current fixes needs to be what is displayed on the screen, alignments and a few other small issues.

As of right now one person has been approached to test it, then once he is done for the testing another will be approached.

Please do not ask to be a beta tester as we already have made our decision on who will test it.

 

[Sleepin in CA]

Woohoooo! Cant wait to finally be able to get my hands on an Iris! Make them test faster! Lol!

=)

Just recieved my Persei in two days from ebay seller vaporizerexpress. Sure is purdy:BLUE .I would have rather ordered from one of the primier venders or W9TECH.COM, but they were either out of stock or did not have the 2013 pak with the double head. I suppose I should have at least asked the manufaturer if there were any more of these in stock, but I saw no phone number or other contact info and did not realize all I had to do is ask a question here. I felt that lack of warranty was offset by the price and getting the part I wanted. I will have to buy the KISS cart separate, but they are cheap, so no big deal.
I believe all I need is a Persei Essential Oil Vaporizer SS Kit to enable both heads to be used as a separate unit.
I'm confused though. The kit came with two 5.0 ohm cartridges, 2 18350 3.7 v batteries, 18650 3.7v battery. The online instructions seem to indicate that the 5.0 ohm cartridges can only be used with the two 18350 batteries. Is that right? Is the extra battery included so that the user can buy cartridges with lower ohm rating or is there a way to use this battery with what is included in this kit? Is the only purpose of this battery to enable the priming process? I know all the answers are buried somewhere in this thread, but I've got a cart loaded(right I hope) and I want to fire this baby up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 18650 battery checks out at 3.7 volts, but the two 18350s are reading only 2.7 volts.
When I put them in the charger provided the indicator light is green indicating a full charge?
Are these batteries toast? Any help would be appreciated. I have read the manual and about 100 pages so far of this thread. I came from Solo Land, much simpler to operate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, so far, so good. Still using just the 18650 battery. The cartridge barely gets warm, no visable vapor(sigh); but I am getting high. So it is working........sort of. Besides the battery issue, it's is possible the oil is the problem-vaporizes,just no visable vapor. Or is the rig simply not getting hot enough????

Yea sorry. I was using MY Herc when I posted that, and well... assumptions were made regarding what cart you were talking about. Sorry.

Just yesterday I decided to wash my 3.7 KISS cart. I soaked it in ISO , rinsed it , let dry , press button for less than 2 seconds to dry wick. I tried using it after that and it just wouldn't produce the same amount of vapor anymore. It's producing very little vapor I was wondering if anyone knew why this happened and if I could do anything to fix it.

 

[GetToTheChoppa]

I could be wrong and very interested in the answer. But if the 18350s have been sitting at 2.7v for some time i would try to return them. You might not be the first person to do so with that exact set.

This is a ti cart right?

 

[SlinginPaint]

rinsed it , let dry

Rinsed it with what?

Are you sure it was dry…?

 

[Ricardooayee]

Yes

I rinsed it with water. Left it outside for about 20 mins. Then did a dry burn (less than 2 second on pulsing ) because the ceramic wick looked a bit wet still.


It's producing vapor but it's very wispy not like it did when it was brand new , also the cart gets a bit hot , something I never noticed before.

 

[Sleepin in CA]

First why in the world would you use water instead of iso? You need an immediate iso bath, then an air dry, and finally a quick burn off of residuals. If problem persists do another iso soak and LIGHTLY aggrivate ti with a toothbrush or herc tool.

@Caligula the ti wire I got did not work out. Still seeking a source with the right size and resistance for the kiss carts. Sorry my man, gonna have to wait a bit longer.

 

[THC SCIENTIFIC]

Or it could be that the ceramic bowl has moved a bit and it caused in issue with the connection. Could explain why the carts warming up but not the wire.

I suggest gently and slowly twisting the bowl the direction it does not have resistance.

 

[primeform]

I got my parts from oregonglassblower for my KISS whip for my bubbler. The female on the KISS is custom. (Was not listed on his iOffer! Site) Contacted him about what I wanted and he even gave me a 10% FC discount and free shipping. The silicone hose from @VaporWarehouse.

Just ordered the same setup from oregonglassblower. Thanks for the inspiration. Now Im on the hunt for a new Hitman sidecar for it.

 

[Dr. Soxhlet]

Crap!!!! One of the 18350s won't charge. So I'm stuck at least til tommorrow. Wal-Mart-No dice. Radio Shack-They call this an electronics store???? Used to be you could walk into that store and get what you want. Now it's just consumer electronics stuff. I'll go to a real(locally owned) electronics store when it opens tommorrow.
Course all I have to do is look at a battery and it will fail. It was out of last years stock, so I suppose this kind of thing could be expected.
As far as the Persei itself: what a beautiful little device. Has the look of quality. I like it when manufacturers use good materials for their products. For me plastic is a turn off. I would prefer something like this that is solid and durable. I saw a guy on you tube abuse his Persei to the extreme:dunked it in a water jar and tried to drive the cartridge through a cinder block with the persei attached. The cart broke, but the Persei still worked; I was impressed.
