I think I need new batteries?
I use to use this stuff alot!What's wrong? What is it doing?
Do you have a meter? Does it work with a KISS cart? When my stock (not AW) batteries are discharged the top will blink or it will light then rapidly fade if the batteries are really dead.I use to use this stuff alot!
I burnt myself dabbing with my torch.
Pissed me off.
It's like driving a PINTO when I have a luxury car?
My lights are flashing?
I got a new charger.
However my batteries may be fried?
My goal is to get my W9 Tech stuff working again in rotation. (I'll try)
If you can help me I would appreciate it!
I read the charger manual now!
That is not what @Fredster951 said, nor is it the case. A Hercules will only fry your original Persei top if you assemble it incorrectly, so they are in fact compatible. Being compatible doesn't exempt items from user error (this same exact thing has happened to me too). It simply means that two items do in fact work together, which the v1 tops and Hercules do.
I do agree with you, however, that much of the information is simply not out there for the average customer to find. The only slight I have against UP Tech is that they don't have a blog or section on their site where they explain upcoming/new releases/features. Hence, a person is often basically buying blindly unless they are aware of this thread here at FC (which is not officially affiliated with UP Tech).
To be fair, however, the only reason UP Tech releases updated and improved versions of things is because they listen to customers and figure out ways to improve their products and fix any issues that may arise. The perfect example is the v2 top. The reason they were needed was because the original tops were built before the Hercules was even a thought (though the Herc was built and designed to be used with the v1 tops. So when people were frying the original tops due to user error, UP Tech chose to create a top with circuit protection to prevent that from happening.
I say go for the warranty and just try to keep up with the thread every once in a while to see if there are any new developments. That way, you will be aware of any problems, changes, upgrades, and improvements, that may occur.
The KISS cart worked for a rip. Then the head started flashing? I changed batteries and they flash as well?Do you have a meter? Does it work with a KISS cart? When my stock (not AW) batteries are discharged the top will blink or it will light then rapidly fade if the batteries are really dead.
What no Core! Could be the batteries. Charge them and try again or try a different set.The KISS cart worked for a rip. Then the head started flashing? I changed batteries and they flash as well?
Should I just buy some new batteries?
I guess I can keep dabbing until I get this all sorted out.
I can't even use my BENDER with the weather so perfect!
A CORE would be the answer?What no Core! Could be the batteries. Charge them and try again or try a different set.
OK bad joke! (sorry)The core solves all battery issues.
I don't know any Quakers.
Thank you so much!Sometimes I have to hold the button down and screw the cart on with the button depressed to get it to work. @Caligula is probably right. You may have screwed the cart too tight and cracked or chipped the white insulator on the top.
I found some really tiny O-rings I put on my carts so I don't over tighten them.
They work like a champ and keep you from over tightening any of the carts (make sure they're hi-temp)
ataxian man youve been a part of this thread way longer than i have

I've been a cheap skate.ataxian man youve been a part of this thread way longer than i have
save all your battery money and get a core man
you NEED a core
its like owning your first turntable
I found a place where I can get a new persei really cheap so instead of the warranty I think im gonna upgrade to a whole new unit iv always wanted black anyways ..
so I was thinking are there any chances my Hercules is screwed up after what happened to the head.
i don't want to buy a new persei then turns out my herc is messed up also anyway i can test it without a head?
i have a multimeter
should i buy one of those voltage and ohm testers is it necessary now that i will have a head with short circuit protection
I've been a cheap skate.
That maybe next!
Last session K.I.S.S. wow!
Love it!

Lol you must not know about
The thing is virtually indestructible.
THIS...
...is a very good idea. What size washers are those?
can I use the core with my OMICRON?fit at a minimum the core, herc, nibbler xp, persei, some oil, and a bottle of water to fill the nibbler (like 6-10ml per fil)
Can I be your friend too?I am not sure of the size.
I will find out the size for you though my friend.
What's your secrete?I almost never run to a dead battery is this just overkill?

MIND READER!Anyone else get the feeling that Ataxian already has the answers and is just having fun with us?
