I'd like to ask for a moment of silence as my nibbler-X went to the great glass dome in the sky just now. It served me well and was my primary water tool daily every day. Although it was outdated as I no longer use the old style carts it deserved better than high velocity collision with the bathroom sink. I will need to go back the Okeanos which has been gathering dust as I can't seem to not clog it.
Anyway thanks, you can put your hats back on.
Awaiting e-nail....

It is 1.6 on the Iris

sorry for your loss. My Nibbler xl died from a sudden unexplained breakage of the interior glass. My life is a little less bearable.
Good advise but I don't think that was an issue with the SS coils especially since @tharealmclovin cut his. Just sounds like it needs to be made a little smaller
That's about right. My sr71 rod reads 1.5 on the iris. I've experienced what you are going through right now. Actually pretty recently when I cleaned it out. I can't give a definite cause and a definite solution because i do not know what or how it was fixed on mine I kind of just worked through it.
If I had to guess, I would say that you have too big of a coil in there for shatter And you also have too much oil in there. It seems like.

I will trim it down a bit more so that the rod pokes a little bit
just for you.
presumably, my next W9 order will include a triton, an 8 top, and a core
PS my birthday is july 2 so thats a good release date to aim for <3
First thing to do is take out the bottom adapter and Hook the Herc up to the Persei without it and see if it works, If not then take the coil out and see if it the rod glows with in 20 seconds. If not the issue could be two things a faulty rod, or bad placement.
I'm very interested in picking up a Persei and a Hercules but i've seen a lot of posts similar to this saying rod placement can cause issues.
Is there way to eliminate the adjustment maybe adding a collet or small ring around the rod so it always goes back to the correct hight?
I've had smiliar questions about the coil lots of people saying they had to modify them to fit better would it be possible to use a snap ring or similar spring steel ring to hold the coils in place?

The SR74 has an adjustable center spring which makes proper rod placement automatic.
oh well that eliminates the last of my real concerns with that im a bit ocd and would have constantly worried about if i had the correct placement
@lonelyhero
If a bump is added to the rod this means it can be removed from one side only, this will cause an issue if there is gunk buildup on the rod as you won't be able to remove it at all.
As for the coils modifying them is not everyone, only a few people modify it so that it does not slide up. This is done by pressing the coil between two quarters.

thank you very much this sets my mind at ease now i just have to save the funds and place an order might wait for the iris v2 and sr74x tho
seems to me it would be well worth the wait

I removed all the black pieces and still no luck. The iris is timing out before it gets red. But the metal is very hot and i cannot touch it

checked in a dark room and it starts to get red around 15 seconds
That's about normal, especially if you have gunk build up. I think a clean rod is about 5-10 secs to glow and you don't need the glow to get vapor (black rod)
I had the same or a similar issue your having(I think)
Had herc loaded up, but it would only produce vapor occasionally. And sometimes if hold the button and wouldn't get anything then release the button and after I stopped powering is hear a sizzle and a huge cloud would come out of the Hercules...I was using 2 Ti coils (about the same height as SS coil you used)... Cleaned it out and switched to one coil and it solved my problem

This is a brand new herc being used for the first time. I have now cut the coil to exact height of the rod. it is exactly as you say, i never get a hit until its way too hot, then i need 5 too cool it off
Can you show me your rod placement?

WTF is JP Tech?
I'm not worried about that, we are going to introduce American Boro soon.
