Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

[derpetrie]

So, the Pers/Herc has become my tool of choice and I am loving it. Can it provide the same experience with flowers? I'm not sold on the Bender yet, based on this thread. How much odor does it give off? Is it the only viable flower alternative?

For flower vaping: Bender>Herc
It's too easy to overheat on the Herc for flowers

I've never had to be stealthy with odor around my house. But honestly the Bender is the best tasting herb vape I've ever tried, although you have to load a bit (around .5 to a gram) of herb. It can take a little time to get going and you have to dedicate a little time to vape the whole bowl if you like it fresh. It definitely gives off some odor, but grinding your herb would that anyways. I wouldn't call it a good portable option, but if you were just to medicate around the house, IMO the bender is hands down the best tasting, highly medicating , herb vape out. Especially when matched with the Iris or even better the Core.. because it's such an awesome powerful unit the Bender does eat away at your batteries!

Also W9Tech also sells the Imag, although i don't believe they manufacture it themselves.

All i gotta say fuck em, all of them.

We just did something to the Kiss carts no one else is able to do at this moment.

Wait for the news. Im about to go test these little guys out with a few testers.

Peace.

I'm still pretty new so I'm not sure about the iris tops. So you put in 2 18350's and then the iris let's you pick what voltage you want to pass to the cart? That sounds magical, like a portable core. Also seems like the internet is out of them.....

Edit: Yay, donut shipped. Fingers crossed it comes tomorrow.

more or less you're right. of course it is battery powered, not an infinite wall supply, but my iris lets me run anything from 3.5-7.4 volts. mind you i'm extremely cautious with my v1 iris because it has a nasty habit of firing at 7.4 for brief periods no matter what it is set too. it's part of why it was discontinued. mind you with the herc no harm done, but i wouldn't dare put much else on it until the v2 unit is finalized.
as i use the iris exclusively for the sr71 it's no issues for me. i tired a 1.8ohm bottom vertical coil on it once hoping to dial down from full 3.7 persei power. killed the coil on the test fire due to shooting 7.4 in it. lesson learned. i wouldn't recommend an iris to anyone except a connoisseur using a herc until the v2 is out. then, depending on the features the v2 sports i'd probably recommend it as a mandatory attachment to the system. i refused to buy a persei/herc until a found an iris abvailable, and though i don't use it all the time, i can't imagine owning this amazing modular unit without including this part, or the core which i NEED.

*edit @gary i'm really hoping the v2 goes lower than 3.5.....one of my favorite ranges for certain things is 5.1-5.2w which usually works out to around 3v-3.5v depending on the coil. i'm a cloud chasing huge vapor kinda guy but i never compromise flavor quality with flavor volume and some craft juices just seem to crave lower power. mind you this is one vaper's opinion. you're gear is customizable enough to sort just about any desire out, but in the vv/vw world it drives me nuts when i have no low power options just to get high power options. i want versatility. part of the reason i bought a persei after much research is that it really is hard to find another system capable of powering the herc. very few options and exist and none in the form factor i like. couple that with your innovation and customer service, along with the future proof design of your flagship system and i couldn't beat it. anywhere.

hate to double post but i'm going to because i used up my 15 minute edit period already and im really vaped out at the moment. some of you may remember my wanting to try the herc on an original evic? (not the new 30w evic supreme) as well as some other mods. well i got as far as trying it on the evic at least. the evic will push 15w.....enough to power the 3.7 rod according to my persei powered iris, when set to low voltage. mind you this was just to see if it can be done, and if it is better to invest in a herc on a different system with an adapter (that you already own) or keep buying short term coil/wick cups until you can afford a persei......it works. it doesn't work enough that i would recommend choosing it over a full persei. even on the same voltage and wattage the persei sports superior circuitry. it makes a huge difference guys. battery choice makes a difference as well as all vapers know.. i reference anyone that is tempted on a device comparable, or even a higher wattage device to consider my previous post though. regarding heat. nothing gets as hot and shields heat as capably as a herc. one of the biggest things in my world AFTER i bought it was how well the temps have been regulated throughout, both in where it resists heat, and where it holds and uses it. this is a stellar class bit of engineering. i'm sorry if my thoughts are incomplete, i'm multitasking. plan on doing a video review for that sweet additional 10% discount with w9tech.com. i had plans to do one anyway.

Anything to do with mini cartridges? I've been wondering about those, so many cool things going on over there. Also, I'd like buy one.

When will the Vaporizer be in stock? I really want one for my first oil pen

 

[Vapoholic420]

@THC SCIENTIFIC,
Hey G, does the Okeanos upgrade with the updated center post need the tiny o-ring that comes on this older center post, or does it come with another one? Bcuz I just opened my Okeanos and saw that the tiny o-ring is broke. If I need it with the upgrade and it doesn't come with the new center post, is it possible to get a new one from u guys? Or maybe get the size so I can order one from somewhere else, if not? Thanks in advance.

Te upgrade comes with the orings yes. I have to double check but they should come with it.

G, have you considered making a polished or brushed aluminum slip on heat shield cover for the 8?
I think that would look pretty sweet and compliment the 8 very nicely. Classy.

What do you mean? Do you mean the SR71/74? Would look nice indeed. Maybe gets too hot?

Any time boss man.

I'm with you but let me ask what he means with that question before we burn him for herassy.

Hmm

I don't think you the prime directive.

Never talk crazy unless you puff puff pass the the magical herb that will make the recipient of your message understand crazy.

In other words I want what you are smoking.

Got shipment notification for the 8 and okeanos upgrade


Can I give you money for a Triton yet

 

[notoriousLrg]

I am in the market for a Persei. Currently have a CERA EO. Just wondering if someone could summarize the pros and cons of using the Hercules SR-74 compared to the KISS or the older style EVC1 cartridge? thanks much

 

[TommydCat]

You need a heat shield for the SR-74 on an 8? Especially with 3x18350's in it? No one told me this...
And still hasn't!

SR74
Pros:
- Amazing Flavor
- User Serviceable
- Easily loaded
- No glue
- Great vapor production
- Efficient
- Portable

Cons:
- Learning Curve
- Cool down period
(depressed button inhales to cool down and solidify your oil to keep it from leaking into the reclaim chamber.. Which actually isn't bad just messy.)
- Power Hungry (buy extra batteries!)



Kiss cart (3.7v)
Pros:
- Simple concept
- No Glues
- Good Flavor (Especially compared to other companies coil carts.. )
- Safe materials
- Good cloud production
- Rebuildable
- Easy to clean
- low power consumption
- Cheap

Cons:
- not easily loaded on the go
(Coil vapes in general) which makes it less portable IMO
- Inferior when compared to Sr74


The Kiss cart is a great coil vape I wouldnt touch any other coil vape for the life of me.

Sr74 is the king of oil vapes

Just hit the SR71 for the first time. I decided since I was going to break it down and re-assemble it anyway, I'd replace the rod and try 3.7v to start with. I figured it might be a bit more idiot-proof that way, which is probably more my speed, heh.

Flavor was amazing. I expected it to be decent since that's usually the case with a virgin cart but I'm definitely happy with this.

I might put size in the "cons" category because it's relatively big. I personally don't mind it but it might not be something you can pocket in your skinny jeans or whatever. The size makes sense for something intended to do dual purpose as an herb chamber though.

Warm-up time is on the long side, which I expected just based on the amount of material it has to heat. Not a big deal though. Maybe 20 seconds, tops?

Looking forward to sipping on this for the rest of the weekend. It'll be interesting to see how things change after I switch back to 7.4v too.

Makes me wonder where have you been all my life.

I dunno if size is a problem in the pants but it could be a good ice breaker for women. Just saying many ways to interpret it.

Also the 3.7v takes a bit of time to heat up yes but @Mynameismud was a master of getting clouds with it.

Also the 7.4v should reduce heat up times on it dramatically.

Think of the Herc as the ultimate cartridge, it's only con is cool down and for some size.

You just have to have an open mind and be willing to change your technique you are used to with the Cera as they are totally two different beasts.

 

[TommydCat]

Hmmm... bottom spring in the base for the SR-74 heat shield seems not to be there, or at least the pin seems free floating and doesn't make good contact if at all when screwed in.

Wear n tear part? Is that spring short-a fuse-ish in a way?

(Not that I would add more SS kit sections and 18350's to that marvelous 8 vape. I mean, OSHA would fine me for even thinking about that, right?)

They already make a thing that could serve the same purpose...

The 8 is pretty awesome. It's super solid and I've been using it with my 601 protank and the shorty tube quite a bit. When I threw the Herc on, I realized the totally flat design of the bottom coupled with its weight makes the 8 a much more stable vape while standing on its own than the Persei. Time to go snag some 510 stuff for the first time...

I had a Facebook convo with Gary just as the "mech top pre order" was posted, asking about the possibility of a "raw" steel finish, as opposed to the polished shown in pics thus far. Something I could throw in my toolbox and it would hold up. And a few days later he told me theyd be offering the 8 in brushed and polished, added the option to the site, edited my order... I've said it before, and I'll say it again. UP tech excels at customer support and they really listen to their customers. I'm a happy one... All for the price of a "Persei mechanical top"...

 

[StormyPinkness]

@THC SCIENTIFIC how do you recommend using the donut? I put in some wax and ran it for awhile but didn't get any vapor or taste anything much. Do I need to use a lot of wax? Soak the wick? I'm just worried about using too much since the hole in the middle goes straight through it.
