Kamikaze in a Hopeless World
Quick question...I am about to fire up the SR-74 for the first time, but I am unclear on which battery(s) to use. Do I go with 1x18650 or 2x18350? I am cloud-chasing, if it makes a difference...
So there is our stolen Gen 4 top.
How's it going?
What's your feedback on it?
So jealous right now..Whats going on with image posting in this thread? I keep getting broken links and I want to share some gold!
Fuck it, i dont have patience to figure it out. I'll just have to build some suspense with a link.

So jealous right now..
Would blow 50 hobos in a line for one.. Jokes.. But really my V3 and V1 back up just died so I'm Herc/Persei deprived. RIP.
Does the button stick out?
Does the Herc fit snug to the unit?
Still 5on/5off power feature?
Fill us in bud!
Thx!
Red LED?
beanpornI'm struggling with the Hercules again. I've taken this thing apart so many times I've become an expert on its design. My problems are all over the board, sometimes it won't heat, sometimes it does heat but produces no vapor, most of the time it yields a pull about half the size of a kiss cart but with much better taste. Every once in a while I get a huge draw and it gives me hope.
My ceramic rod is in a good spot, I don't really understand how to properly adjust the gold pin. I really want to figure this out.
7.4 and I've got the recommended aw's. Gary has been on to help dial me in I'm just getting inconsistent results. I'm certain it's user error and I'll love this thing when I get the hang of it.beanporn
what rod are you using? 7.4 or 3.7? are you using the correct batteries for the rod you are using?
@Silicon Advisor If you are using the stock white rod that comes in the SR-74 you use (2) 18350 batteries. It is a 7.4 rod. If you are using the optional black rod you use (1) 18350 (if you have the SS kit) or you can use (1) 18650 with the stock battery holder for 3.7 volts.Quick question...I am about to fire up the SR-74 for the first time, but I am unclear on which battery(s) to use.

I've noticed my coil above the rod many times. I push it down with a toothpick and its works better. Can I use two coils to keep it from sliding?If you're using one coil, be aware that it tends to slide within the upper chamber. Check to make sure that the coil is at the bottom of the chamber, if it looks like it's sitting above the rod push it down with a tool. This is usually my issue when my herc heats up, but gives no vapor. The only fix for this that I've seen is to squish the coil between two coins, so it becomes wide enough to not slide up and down.

What angle of use produces best results?re - nibbler / xl -- etc … and possible future releases … what is the recommended one 2 grab 4 persei thx friends ?
@ Beanporn -- did you take apart completely and run reclaim through again ? it seemed to get u going last time .. I recommend continuing to do that with slight changes in the rod placement & angle of use ---- and run it through again just adding a drop extra ---
I would recommend unless u did already ? just gives u a fresh start each time ---imo
gd luck -- any pics will help too ??
Yeah I figured that out. Anything I can do as far as repair?Dont leave batteries on the charger overnight.
Ok, late last night I made a Kiss Globe/Nibbler-GN video and here it is...
But first a little setup, for this hit the cart was totally cold, I had last used it 4 hours earlier at which point I had put a fairly large (around .1 probably) dab of shatter into the cart and taken a couple of hits. This was my before bed time anti-insomnia hit. You can see that the first several seconds of button press there is no vapor flowing although I am drawing. The cart was clogged a bit likely to do with the amount I loaded, the type of material, and not pre-heating at all before hitting. This was a longer button press than I usually do at around 20 seconds plus the heat up time.
The Nibbler-GN is really nice, the only thing I wish it came with a "tube" style mouthpiece rather than the
"trumpet" style it has. Not a big deal by any measure though.
Got to sleep in no time!
