sr74 w/ black (3.7v) rod and the nib-
my favorite combo!

i think i need a thicker oring for the stubby top that fits

Are you using the bigger oring on the top of your Herc?

what bigger oring? the ones it came with all look the same

My nibbler xl came with two different size o-rings, which I did not know at first. The smaller was not big enough for mine, although I think there is some size range. The big ones fit (a little too tight).

mine that just arrived came with 7 orange orings. all the same size

I had this same issue. The o-rings look the same but there is some minor variance. I had to find the thickest one they sent and then it actually sealed the herc/nibbler properly. There is also some variance on the glass itself so it's best to just play around until you get a nice seal. Good Luck!

i tried them all, there is still enough room to rattle. if i hold it centered, the oring doesn't even touch the glass

@Sleepin in CA May be able to help if hes around today.

@StickyShisha mine is the same way. It is for one of two reasons......

1. Your inner glass tube is slightly wider (like mine). I use a 906 s70 o ring... on the top only....from

http://www.theoringstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=367_104_103&products_id=4496

I also lube slightly with vaseline before putting on. Finally I twist it on and off to the right so I dont accidently unthread my hercules cap. Also PROTIP....remove the screen from the NXL mouthpiece just in case it ever gets stuck (IT WILL AT SOME POINT) and you have to pop it out.

2. The other reason could be your inner tube is a little short (also like mine). Try sliding the herc up about 1/8th of an inch up so the orange oring is within the glass tube instead of sitting on the top.

If these don't solve it, I would be VERY suprised. I think these issues arise from SLIGHT variation in the tube blanks used to blow the NXL.

=)

 

[StickyShisha2]

@Sleepin in CA the tube length is ok, but it is too wide. neither the top or bottom orings really contact the glass.


i'm headed out for O rings.

 

[Sleepin in CA]

The bottom rings are for show.....to prevent rattle methinks. I have fully removed them w/o affecting draw.

So if you have a single & double top and get the repair, they send you back one upgraded top and three 7.4 carts (that I didn't want). Wish that this was made clearer before I gave it to them.

PS: Why would I want three rebuildable 7.4 kiss carts if I ordered a herc (that I am still waiting on)?

 

[StickyShisha2]

whats that about? I too have a single and double top to send in.

Man that is really weak. Should have sent you another single top IMHO.

Sent in my tops for repair and got this in return

[THE KISS FREAK]

Hello Everyone, Good Day to all! I hope everyone is happily medicating. LOL I'm a newer member here, but trolled for 6-8 months before finally joining. I slowly over time read all pages from the beginning and must say that I Love the forum and this thread especially! I've only posted a few times, But today I felt Compelled to let everyone here know about my experience with UP TECH/ W9. I think that the customer service is Great, when I've had a problem, they've quickly corrected, ex. when i got my bender and there was no orings and no mcfinns cotton, they quickly sent out replacements. That's just one example. When I place an order it has usually shipped out quickly and arrived safely. I recently purchased a 2nd Persei from Vapor Wharehouse, and when the top Blew after my first session, I filed a ticket on W9, over next few days we communicated,they sent me a link with all the return info, followed the easy return instructions, sent the bad head out last saturday 1st class sig req. only cost me like $5 and Bam just like that yesterday my new Replacement top arrived at my door in less than a week. Way to Go W9!! I know that some of you here have not had the Great Experience that I've had, Just felt like I had to share my experiences with W9 with you all.

Finally, a shout out to Gary @THC SCIENTIFIC keep up all the Great Work and thanks for the Great Customer Experience that I have had, and I Love all my W9 gear, I have almost all of it and some in double, ha ha LOL

Just a few minor Bender mods... mouthpieces mostly. I was having trouble with the glass holding to the connection at the bottom of the bender, the O ring just doesn't hold it securely, so I took some black 1" high temp silicone tubing and secured it to the top of the Perei with that, seems to work well, no fear of it popping loose, and its not wobbly anymore, just enough to hold it, but not cover the air holes around the bottom of the bender. I inserted a 3-4mm thick orange O ring (big size O ring from Thermovape) under the base of the Bender to lift it up a bit higher so the hottest part of the heat rod is now more ideally placed where the load goes. I also took some of that same black tubing and used it (instead of tape) to secure the Okeanos to a reducer so I could use it in line with the bender. I know I posted earlier about doing that, but had used silver tape to hold it, which wasn't really safe or secure, and looked horrible. I didn't want the tubing putting pressure on the glass so I connected it to the SS piece which allows me to add a screen under the bubbler chamber as well as makes for easier maintenance. There is also a screen suspended at the bottom of the reducer to keep herb from pulling up inside of it.

I had too much herb being sucked into the bottom of the standard mouthpiece, so I took one of my bent 14/18 glass adapters, modded a VXL ELB screen by removing the metal ring at the top, and inserted that into the glass adapter making a spacer screen that keeps the herbs down closer to the heat and prevents bits from traveling into my air path. There is also a screen suspended half way inside the adapter. This adapter has a bit lower profile than the original mouthpiece, and a bit thicker glass. I inserted a section of paperclip in along with the screen, so I now can just twist the mouthpiece and stir the load, or poke around as needed. Seems to be working well enough. I have noticed Bender is a hungry beast...

I would contact customer support immediately. Even pm @THC SCIENTIFIC and/or @nao12000 . I cant see this not being insured. Either way I am SURE they will help get it resolved man.

In the mean time....I am really bummed for you bro. Fucking USPS has screwed me a time or two as well, but losing the NXL is a hard hit. I feel for ya.

=/

@jambandphan03 niiiiiice. Holy what the fuck at first glance, but niiiiice. Macguyveresque even.

=)

 

[jambandphan03]

I tell ya, it was a real bitch getting that tubing on there, but seems to hold well and looks nicer than anything else I could come up with on the fly... I do enjoy tinkering...

@DaNi_DuB the ticket system indicates that we should be receiving a single top only, we have stopped supporting the double tops for over 6 months now. Our standing policy is to replace all double tops with three kiss cartridges. If you would like please send back the three kiss carts and we will ship back your double top.


@itschad our shipping system is automatic what ever you entered as your shipping and billing address is what the system ships too. There is no human interaction with imputing a shipping address other then slapping a shipping label on the box. I do feel for you and well try to look into it. If it was a manual order then we have to see what address you provided and what was shipped.

Remind me on Monday ill look into it.

That's bullshit. Nowhere was it mentioned that this is what I would receive. How about I keep what I have and you give me a refund for the $120 worth of product that you still have not sent me.

 

[itschad]

@THC SCIENTIFIC I actually ordered through vaporwarehouse, not you guys.

Anyway, I received a call from my girlfriend who had called the post office. The package was still there, undelivered, and they sent it out to her and she has since received it.


But why they marked it as delivered 4 hours earlier, the world may never know

What's your Order number for the Hercules?
