Well that's no good. I never saw the lo ohm warning until I started wrapping the kiss myself. I wonder what was different. Maybe our iris reads different. My fluke dmm reads 2.2 ohms on my self wrapped kiss, but the iris says 3.3 when screwed all the way down and 1.8 when unscrewed back slightly from all the way down

most likely your not using non resistance wire to connect to the coil.

what could be an issue is when you screw it in, the center pin moves and bends the wire enough to touch the shell of the kiss cart, causing the resistance to change.

I am not. I'm using nichrome 80 wire. How does that make the resistance reading between my iris and dmm? How do u get the resistance up with non reisitance wire?

Edit: I have been pretty rough on my iris so I'm sure it could have something to do with that as well...

Kidneypuncher is a great site. I got 30 guage nichrome and the thinner of the two types of ceramic wick. You will have to cut/break it down to the size of the cup. I put about 6 wraps for 1.8 ohms. I'll use that between 3.7v and 4.6v depending what's inside. They have little positive contact rubber insulator things if the stock one got burnt or somethin. If you have an iris or another way to check the resistance I'd say its worth getting different kinds to play with. But if that doesn't seem like your type of playing I'm sure there's a few guys who know the specifics of what to get and what to do with it. I know its also buried in this thread somewhere. I think @DieHard was involved?

Thank you so much @OB I found everything I need there.
@DieHard thank you so much too. I ordered exactly what you guys said.
I can't wait to start rebuilding carts. You guys rock!

That's my question are you using non resistance wire when you are rebuilding?

I'm on the verge of giving up on the herc. It is a constant problem and I have not been able to get it to properly function. Now my fully charged battery just fades out and doesn't heat the herc. Ill stick to the kiss carts and look forward to the okeanos but the Hercules is not for me.

Please call the office let me see what's going on and trouble shoot it for you. Get you up and running ASAP.

@OB you need to use non resistance wire when connecting to the positive and negative of the coil.

When resistance wire touches the body of the kiss it changes. This could be your issue.


That is why real titanium grade 2 carts are clamped on the bottom of the bowl and not welded as titanium gr2 isn't great for welding.

If you have a Ti cart from another manufacturer and you pop it open and it's welded with with another piece of wire then that's not gr2

Yes its all coming together now. I have found ti gr 1 28g wire. Can I use gr 1? Also clamp rings u guys use just regular brass ones? That is my main problem with my rebuilt kiss. No matter how tight I try and make it the ceramic cup always ends up getting a little loose from scraping reclaim our of it.

What problems are you encountering again ? I was having some troubles with my herc a few weeks ago and feel I got it down pretty good maybe I can help by sharing my experience

Inconsistent heating and small draws when it does heat have been my main problems. Gary has been helpful. I'm sure I'm still in the learning curve and I'll get the hang of it.

I just put those batteries on the charger and they are dead. They're recharging now let me see what happens after they charge again. Maybe it's been the batteries all along?

What I notice about the herc is it may be difficult to get going but once it does heat it's going to heat until you take it apart again or it leaks so bad it coats your pin and rod

Once it heats I leave it and don't mess with it

And when I get small draws it's the coil ridding up above the rod every single time this was a huge problem for me or I'm out of oil those are the only two times my draws are small I use the core as we'll so no batteries @Beanporn

@Beanporn i had the same issues initially using efest 18350s that were supposed to be as hot as the aw's and lesser 18650s. I still have never used 18650 aws to compare to my current lg 18650s(38A), , but the lgs are studs! They will produce vapor until almost completely dead. Im sure others are sick of seeing all my posts on these lgdbhe21865, and yes they are imrs. And get a nitecore charger. I just refuse to believe anyone should go through life without loving their herc. Im on a mission from god... a much more peaceful mission from god than has ever been attempted before!

@THC SCIENTIFIC usps is awesome and all, but if im only 3 hours north pf the warehouse should i expect delivery today or tomorrow if it shipped yesterday? Usps hasnt updated yet and im wondering if i should have my neighbors on the lookout to sign?

Does anyone know if it's still possible to use the herc to vape dry herb ?

Had a horrible day today lost a years worth of work/effort and my oil ran out last night ... Very frustrated
