What is the best option when using the Persi for some full melt?
Thanks, I'll check that out and also give tightening my wraps a try. Where did you get your kanthal of you dont mind me asking?Normally @itschad I'd say the same thing that @OB said. A compressed coil is like a ribbed pipe, and has a much lower resistance than the same number of wraps when wires don't touch. But for some reason, you've got some really high resistance wire in your hands. This might be a way to make the best of it. You might find this calculator useful for your coils.
I get my Kanthal from a local ecig store. They buy theirs from TEMCO. Many ecig users buy the same wire in large spools on ebay. My resistance measurements always seem to be close to that calculator. It is possible kidney puncher mismarked your wire or that you have a poor connection somewhere. If the legs of your coil aren't making a good connections to the shell and the positive pin, you'll get a high resistance reading.
If you're loading .5 to prime and then another .5 on top of it, and you're using a single TI coil, then the issue is you're vastly overloading. A single TI coil takes about 0.25 to prime, and you should be able to vape happily from there.
to prime: Drop about 0.3 onto a brand new clean coil and put the mouth piece on. hold the button for 3 seconds then gently start pulling and release the battery for 3 seconds
repeat this 2 or 3 times then add another .2 or .3 to hit on. I find if you add more than .3 and your stuff isn't really stable, you have to be much more careful about cooling off
Okay. I understand thanks! But I need another favor for help. What's the best loading tool for the herc? And does adding two coils to the chamber increase load? I literally just got my Hercules 2 days ago....sooooo many questions.
So, can I clean the kiss globe the same way I clean the original kiss cart? Disassemble it, soak all the parts in alcohol, dry them off, and reassemble?
1 coil, load .3 to get the coil going, and another .2 and your good to go, load from the top after taking out the mouth piece and the top ss cap.
To get the oil back out of the lower chamber I usually stand the upper tank upright with the rod in place (with the aid of a dabber with a round eye on the end). Then gently heat the lower chamber with a lighter or torch on low, and pour the oil back into the upper chamber. ( kind of reminds me of loading the Omicron EO carts). Just be careful when pouring back not to pour through the air holes in the side of the lower tank.Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I use a small but thick needle to scrape up wax from my well and I try to cool the wax in my fridge before dropping either a snake looking cool or just a ball of wax down. Is there any method that is better or a tool that can simplify the loading of viscous substances?

This topic has come up a few times in the history of this thread: The Herc chambers are made of stainless steel, not titanium, and should not be torched. Not "even with a small torch, low flame, held far away". This will damage the Herc over time. It could also potentially off gas nasties into your oil. Which goes into your lungs. I wouldn't do it.I agree with @DieHard. I think a torch lighter is a must have.
I use the torch lighter to heat the outside of my KISS and Hercules cart to get it "fluidic" so I can scrape the insides down with my spatula tipped dab tool.
Just be careful. If you heat up the outside of the kiss cart too hot, oil will leak out of the side holes.
If you heat up the walls of the Hercules too hot, you risk oil leaking down into the reclaim chamber.
1st off only use that much if you are priming 2 coils. Use a quarter gram if priming 1 coil. And make sure to draw while priming don't just push the button. If it is still leaking then you aren't cooling down properly. Cool down has been discussed a lot just in the last few pages....Hey. Have you ever gotten the solution for this? I literally recollected .25g almost of wax. Just from the metal casing leaking out wax to the plastic. I'm using the 7.4v rod and a single coil sponge. Questions....when I add .5g to prime the herc after let's say boiling/cleaning it....just to prime it.....where does it go. And then I understand the concept of the oil pool on the sponge...but if you add .5 in the beginning....and you use it...doesn't it vape it? I'm just confused on the way to prime and load wax....and to stop the leaking. The reclaim is nuts. Also. I would like to ask if anyone knows how to perfectly reclaim all your wax from the herc? what steps do I clean this herc with to have it all reclaimed.... I was thinking an ever clear wash? Ziplock and ever clear and shake shake shake?
I am trying to figure out how your top cap is staying in there. Are you using it without the outer heat shield? Sometimes the o-rings get misplaced when installing/removing. A little water (or spit, sorry) on the O-rings helps when installing.I think I need new orings for my nibbler. Most of my thick ones that seal well are starting to rip
And I have terrible luck with pulling my top cap off in the nibbler. Thinking of just leaving it stuck in the end and screwing the her into it from there.
I was having the three flash issue as well. Called G and he had me send him my Persei top. Got a call back from W9 a couple days ago and they said there was not any issues they could find. They gave me an option of either sending them the rest of my Persei for testing or they could send me back my top. I am sending them the rest of my Persei.I, too had the three flash-no fire tango a few times...Has not acted up in a week or two..Seems Ok now..
Peace

They said 90 percent of these problems are from user error. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong to cause this, I'm all ears.
I really miss my Persei. I guess I need a spare.
