When people say there's a learning curve with using the hercules for dry herbs, could someone give some examples? Does anyone have some experience trying to vape herbs from the herc? Thinking about trying it but seems that it's even more difficult than vaping waxes.

@lonelyhero consider making some oil. Isopropyl from the pharmacy, pyrex pie plate, a coffee filter.

I've been toying with the idea of making my own with everclear or ISO but I just moved into an apartment would it be safe?

While ISO, Everclear and KX, are all flammable liquids. There is much less danger than doing BHO indoors (not an option). If you are using these indoors be sure to have plenty of ventilation and a window open, if possible. SAFETY FIRST!

Sure! Just follow some simple common sense rules...use proper ventilation and place dish in a flame free zone. Now, I would never recommend use of butane indoors, but EC/ISO should be pretty safe. I think people run into trouble when impatience sets in and they get 'creative' with speeding up the process by applying unnecessary heat. If heat is applied...do so in an intelligent manner, but I warn you, there are additional risks and the smell can increase considerably.

Nice @DieHard

If you evap outside, put some sort of screen/cheesecloth over your dish to protect your gold. It's never any fun to find pet hair and insect parts in your oil = )

I personally evap my oil using the exhaust fan off my lovely ladies. EC is completely evaporated in several hours.

Picking up nibbler from usps this am for a road trip, lucky timing! As for the ethanol/iso wash, if you can find it, spirytus polish vodka is 192 to 196 proof and worked better than 99% iso. Difference is flavor, and ive had iso washes turn to clay(maybe someone else has the expertise to explain?) Bur really like ethanol. Freeze everything at the lowest setting in freezer before you try washing it to keep the chlorophyl from leaching, thats the hardest part of alc washes.

I have cheap easy access to everclear witch is 99% ethanol I've read about doing qwet runs and dehydrating and freezing the herb beforehand I'm just not sure how much everclear to use and how long it would take to evap

Fill equal with container... so mason jar full of leaf, fill around cracks just to top of leaf. At that point i dont agitate just put it back in the freezer checkin every couple min to watch it change colors... i let it get slightly, and i mean so slightly, green. Then wire strain, then coffee filter, then evap in pan in oven @ 120 to 150, shouldnt be more than 2 hours without a fan at mason jar amount.
Edit: let it sit in the sun initially for a few after filtering, sun will break down chlor that getsleeched. Will turn slightly red but no chlor taste

Got nibbler xl on the road! But fuck me if i didnt force water in right off the bat trying to pull it off... lol. Thanks w9!!!!!

Wait the ethanol won't ignite in the oven? I thought the danger if the solvents was their quick to flash ignite?

Never had issue with alc igniting in the oven... at least not in mason jar amount... if youre concered, boil the largest pot you have and just let your pan sit over it. After turning flame off. Theres a good vid on youtube thats about winterizing, but the finish is the same...

If you put the fan to blow over the pan and then out the window youll cut time down considerably.

Nibbler/herc users out there... do you go through oil faster with or without nibbler attached?

what are you guys using as a carry case for your Herc Persiei ?? i was thinking about this http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/26-Expandable-Baton-Sheath-p1115.htm

Anyone know how long the discount code "the original" will work for ?

I love me Herc so much I have been thinking about buying spare Herc and Persiei parts or a whole new Persiei and sr74. What do you guys suggest a whole backup unit or just a Persiei top and a backup rod and coil ?

I'd recommend looking into the 8 instead of the Persei. It should last you several lifetimes.... Plus it will allow you to experiment with different carts from different companies if you so desire. And it comes with a 18350 tube!

Hi, today I put my batteries in charger and after 2 hours charger was blinking, when I took the batteris they was hot, I can touch it but it was hot...I didn't saw any instructions about batteries, this thread is so huge but it seems that I made a mistake, I charged them cause clouds production was decreased but my top didn't blink....
