i use this set up exclusively. very important to let it warm up from a cold start, prob about 15 secs or so. then just pull on it very very gently and consistently and you will get massive tasty clouds. also, dont over load with the 3.7 rod, less is more!!!!
that should work well. i dont pull on the unit during warm up. i do hold it basically level so a not to promote leaking into the lower chamber while heating and not pulling. also, you need fully charged cells or the core.
thanks once again @gudiss . Do you keep the button on during pulling of the unit? Or turn off/on technique? ThAnks again.
Since I got the first HERCULES (SR71)
i use a hammer top and typically have it on while pulling slowly! once it gets heated up you can toggle the switch. you will feel it-
I also have the hammer top. Thank you for the pointers!! Much appreciation!! I will try the BLACK rod setup after work. @Resinberg yes the white rod gets gunked up after a while. Normal stuff here. To simply return to brand new status do this, assemble your hercules back to normal EXCEPT your oil coil and mouth pieces. Smash that power button until it glows. About 15-20 seconds with SR74 white rod. U will see miracles!! The rod will self clean itself once it gets hot enough. Keep holding the button until it becomes white and no more residual smoke. Might want to do this in a well ventilated room or outside. Stuff smells burnt. Good luck!
go for it! take a look at my short vid, you tube hercules sr74 w 3.7 v rod. i am pulling so gently you can barley see movement in the nibbler xl, but look at the results!!
wow that's you?!? Lol I been watching this video for about 2 months!! Awesome video.
I haven't used mine since I got an iris but I had a slightly different technique (maybe a little more finicky than @gudiss though)
Indeed what you typed is the truth. Running a Hercules sr74 with no circuit protection is risky. When u become familiar with the Hercules you will never/rarely have shorts. For those new to SR74 and vapes it is bad idea to buy a 8. It is intended for the experienced people. Meaning if you mess up, you will pay for the damages because they are user error. Kinda like having a Super bike. They are the fastest state of the art machines on the planet. If you happen to crash that super bike....well it's your fault. Operator error. Same with the 8. To tell you the truth I still check resistance a lot on my Hercules line. When I receive my 8, my plan is to check resistance on my iris v1 and then transfer the hercules to my 8. I am sure many will check the resistance of the hercules before attaching it to the 8. Simply to avoid mishap. If you are new to vapes and not comfortable with the mechanics of it, the Persei is hard to beat. The 8 is for the hardcore enthusiast. As for iris compabality with 8 barell. I guess we won't know until we get our hands on them. The 8 is all stainless.
