@SleepinginCA @thcscientific and anyone else that this may apply to, I am a long time lurker and finally made an account to have a few of my questions answered before I press the checkout button.
Let me say, that I have read nearly all the pages in this thread, and most of THC's other threads on here as well, albeit not always in the proper flow of order. Many of my questions have been answered, and google searching with FC prefacing the search seemed to be quite helpful as well. However, I am still left with a few questions.Currently I have one of the older Persei models, Matte black in the original black packaging, with both the dual and single tops. I have been quite successful thanks to this excellent thread and taking the time to read it, in terms of my 5ohm carts. I am ready to take that next step and enter into the Hercules domain. Now on to my questions so I can order this thing and take advantage of this discount code.
Take my money already!
1. Will the top on my unit have any problems with either the SR71 or the SR74
2. Aside from ease of assembly, are there any other options that make the 74 a better purchase?
3. The 71 has more power potential/wattage (correct?), does this make it the more capable hercules model due to a greater usage potential/performance (maybe for hash or flower?)
4. Considering the 71 is the older (outdated) model, why is it 30 bucks more expensive (as seen on planet vape)? It seems like a lot of the guys on here with more UPTECH experience use the 71, is this because on a performance level its slightly more capable or is this because they got them when they were first released and stuck with them?
Here is what I am ordering for the above mentioned Persei:
-SS Kit (anyone have pictures of a black top matched with either the red or matte silver SS kit? or should I just go with black?)
-3.7 Ti Kiss (black, depending on the SS color chosen)
-2x AW IMR 18650 2000mah
-2x AW IMR 18350 3.7v
(will be purchasing the better charger listed from amazon)
-SR 71 or 74, need help deciding?
-Nibbler XL....because, apparently its a must have
-3.7 black rod
Basically, all factors aside, I am a connoisseur and a highly technical kind of person. I am fine with a learning curve and would like the highest performing hercules model recommended no matter how difficult it may appear to assemble or disassemble at first glance. If only one could exist until the end of time, and only one...for the people that have lots of experience with both, which would you choose if it where the only one you could keep, the 71 or 74? which ever set up, Id like to get both the 3.7 tasty black rod mentioned and the 7.4 body incinerating white rod.
5. How often would one typically need to replace TI coils? and Rods?
I really appreciate the expedient and insightful recommendations from those with experience in advance and look forward to joining the bandwagon.
6. also, whats the story on the 8 essential oil vape for $199? The woman I talked to when I called the number, stated she could not discuss anything about it. It seems that I remember this being on the site for quite a while (6 months - a year maybe??) Why would one choose this over the persei? possibly in relation to the Vection/Duction discussed in the other thread? I thought i read that the 8 was an abandoned idea or was that the Leela? Lol but it was spoken about on the phone like it would be released soon and was in progress
Thanks guys! I wont be a stranger!
