Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

I would try wrapping a 5/4 for 7.4v and try it on the 3.7 first to see how it fires. The Ti is a bit different from the NiChrome so I'm not sure yet.

Yeah, I looked there first but AW IMR 18350 appears to be out of stock.

Hey guys another update on the 1701 Kiss cart mod. Using 4.6v on the kiss cart and I am getting better results. Thicker cloud but not huge by any means. Taste is still good at 4.6v. Faster warm up too. Using this on the Core. Still experimenting on the okeanos 1701 setup. Using the okeanos 1701 I can definitely taste and feel the oil but upon exhale I see little vapor. I do feel medicated after. Let u guys know how long this kiss cart lasts on the core at 4.6v.
Using the 1701 kiss cart mod I found out a technique to get bigger clouds. It's been pretty consistent so far. Been getting bigger clouds. I puff on it like a cigar. A la hercules SR style! After doing this the vapor get thicker. Increasing draw speed seems to favor this 1701 kiss cart mod. Once you are inhaling. Nice indeed. I like this little cart. Seems to go through oil a little quick. Too early to tell...anyone interested I will update later about my findings.

Honestly didn't know about the sr74 problems firsthand... been using my 8 to explore the low voltage potential of the SR71...

Dying to place an order but waiting on the sr74 to come back in stock. Hope it's soon!

if W9Tech is out of stock, try lighthound.com . They seem to be good people when I bought from them last year.

Thanks, great it will work with the Core! I'm on the list for a bottom adapter to fix the sr74 issue. Though I've only had it working sporadically, the 8/herc/nibbler combo is phenomenal! @THC SCIENTIFIC is the freakin' Thomas Edison of oil vapes!!!
Invention begats invention, and G you inspired me while I was fixing my 8 button, so... I humbly offer my Foot-Activated Vaporizer, over in the DIY thread!

This IS my happy face..
Had a bit of a problem with my new 1701 donut kiss cart......Ran it at 3.7 with AW 18350 and 18650 batteries....Got a few decent hits...then some oil ran out of the hole and then it died.. the cart read 9.9 ohms.....When will the 1701 donuts be available so I can give this puppy another go??? Thanks.
I am still having issues with my 8... I thought that it was doing well, but then I go back to back with my other devices.
It just doesn't get as hot, or heat up as fast as my other stuff.
I've disassembled and cleaned, adjusted the button in and out, tweaked the posts, mashed the button...
I am even having issues getting an E juice tank to produce clouds like normal... someone please tell me what I'm missing. I want it to work as well as my other devices soooooooooo badly.
Someone help me out. I'm sure I'm missing something dumb...

Hey buddy. Your symptoms of 8-itis are similar to everyone's problems. You are not alone. I suggest you read the last 2-4 pages of this thread. You will get the info you need to get you back to the clouds. Sounds like you might have to re adjust something. Maybe center button screw. I am still crossing my fingers hoping for new gold contact pins or something to make the 8 fire easier.
Yeah there's been a handful of 8 owners having the same problems. Its gonna be something with the button mechanism. But as far as not getting clouds, how long are you holding the button for? Mine takes a while to heat up from cold but after holding the button down and taking puffs it produces good clouds.
Kinda feel the doughnut was a ripoff, it clearly wasn't ready for release. Mine stopped working after I over tightened it. Came with no instructions

Is this a legitimate sr74? Does it come with a warranty?

Damn my big order just arrived but I got sent a Nibbler G instead of the GN I ordered. DOH!
@THC SCIENTIFIC Please have them check on ticket 2551474 when you get in the office. Thanks!
First impressions of the Omicron Lite.
Build quality on the Omicron Lite is top notch and what I've come to expect from UP tech. For such a small base the Omicron Lite has a nice heft to it and feels good in the hand. This is especially important when paired with the Okeanos as that cart weighs a ton. However, the Omicron Lite base ends up being beefy enough that it doesn't feel too top heavy in my hand. The head has the same great 5 button press on/off safety feature as my new Persei v3 head.
It came with a 3 inch USB charging cable and a nice carrying case. Unsurprisingly the carrying case is built to carry the Omicron Lite, 1 KISS cart, and the charging cable. Unfortunately even with a 3 inch charging cable this makes the carrying case large enough that I don't think I'd want to keep it in the pocket of my pants as I was out and about. My current plan is to just throw the whole assembled Omicron Lite plus cart in my pocket when I'm out and keep the charging cable in my car.
One negative is the choice of mini over micro USB. Mini USB has essentially been a deprecated connector type since 2007. This makes it very rare to see any device using it these days. Among my MP3 player, several cell phones and tablet, the Omicron Lite is the ONLY device using mini USB. This is annoying because if I forget or misplace the 3 inch charging cable that came with the Omicron Lite it is unlikely myself or a friend has a cable on hand that works. Serious bummer when you are on the road, the batteries die and you realize you've forgot your special charging cable.
Another negative is I'm not sure I really like the way the bottom cap must be unscrewed to reveal the mini USB port for charging. While this does function as a dust cap I'm not sure there is much value in that and the cap is small enough that it could be easily misplaced especially while charging in the car. I carry my cell phone around in my pocket all the time with no dust cap on its micro USB port and its never been a problem. Would love to see the next version of the Omicron Lite with a micro USB port that is exposed and flush with the bottom of the base.
As far as carts go I actually still have yet to try the included 3.7v KISS cart. Right now I am still messing with the Okeanos and the KISS Globe. Obviously it would have been cool to get a new Ti KISS cart rather than the legacy one that was included. The Okeanos v2 build quality is amazing. The instruction manual PDF available online is really well written and very easy to understand.
One thing that confuses me is the water deflector dish and water fill height. When my Okeanos came the water deflector dish was not screwed all the way up to the top of the outer air tube. However, reading the instructions it would appear this is how it should be. I did this and the deflector dish now sits very high of course. As the instructions said, I filled water to 1/4 of an inch below the deflector dish but even with gentle draws was getting a lot of water in my mouth. I then refilled just up to the bottom of the U in the UP image printed on the glass (the same way I fill my Nibbler XL). Now there is far too little water although taste is amazing. Way better than the EO cart on my old G-Pen. Going to experiment trial and error style with the water level till I get it right. This part of the instruction manual definitely needs some additional clarification.
Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase. Despite some minor kinks the Omicron Lite is an amazing vape for the price. For 55$ you get a solid base, KISS cart, carrying case and charging cable. Compare that to 70$ for a G-Pen plus EO cart and no case and I think the choice is a no brainer. With the Omicron Lite you're getting a higher build quality unit with a much more diverse set of carts available for it plus a carrying case for 15$ less. At this price point the Omicron Lite is my new go-to device to recommend to a friend wanting to enter the wonderful world of CO2 oil.

You might want to look at this place for a backup USB cable.
http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=102&cp_id=10303
They have all flavors and lengths of USB cables at cheap prices. IME the quality has been quite good. I've been using them as my source for years for all types of cables.

damn it, my father lost another Herc mouthpeice. this makes 3. I think it is the way he carries it in his pants pocket. Now that I set his up with the flat top MP that goes with the NXL, it shouldn't happen again.
that is where i get HDMI cables. i've been using them for years with no problems.

Need some help figuring out the 1701 donut.
Which carts is this donut compatible with? It obviously doesn't work with my KISS Globe. I also don't see any way to use it in a standard 3.7v KISS cart. It kind of screws in to my Okeanos v2 but its not a good fit and it feels like I am going to break something if I force it.
What am I missing here? Thanks!
