any quick solutions from veterans --- how do I get the darn ceramic outa the herc 74 ?? let alone the titanium ?
I do not want to break it ???? it seems soaking / heat ... it just won't budge ?
any advice or trix my friends
Same here. I have to really JAM the button. To the point where it feels like I am forcing parts to bind.Well i'm getting hits with the 8 now. they arent weak but they are definitely not as strong or quick to heat up as my persei, and i have to JAM the button for consistency
m i doin this rite
Use it. Get it warm. Take off the shields. When its cooled enough to touch comfortably, take it apart. Unscrew the knurled nut pull off the airflow washer if you use it, and push the rod inside the herc. Use a tooth pick to push it through. Sometimes a toothpick wil get the coil out, sometimes a dental pick like tool helps. Hook inside where the rod used to sit, and gently pull. If it doesnt unseat easily try another place or method. Its not too hard....any quick solutions from veterans --- how do I get the darn ceramic outa the herc 74 ?? let alone the titanium ?

Try ISO soaking it then pushing the coil out with a small paperclip through the 3 air holes on the bottom. Just keep going around, poking all 3 air flow holes.any quick solutions from veterans --- how do I get the darn ceramic outa the herc 74 ?? let alone the titanium ?

I have BENDER and flavor wise it' blows away most vaporizers!I have had the most no-fires with the Core using my Hammer top. For some reason my Top is incredibly sensitive when used on the core. I think the issue for me is with the different shaped contact the Core inserts have that touches the center post on the Top. The fix for me is to unscrew the bottom DC plug adapter out of the tube, and then thread it back in gently... This seems to re-seat the spring loaded contact on the core with the top a little better. If it doesn't fix it then I unscrew it and screw it back in partially. It's sort of accomplishing the same thing that @Patrick Hughes said, but I personally have much better luck unscrewing the core insert, rather than the Top.
Your mileage may vary

Do you think the core is the right pairing for a BENDER?
I have 18350's how ever I'm sick of batteries!
The CORE makes sense!
The core is nearly a must have and particulalry for the Bender. The Bender by nature kills batteries. Stacked 18350s don't last long, two 18500s is nearly manageable and provides good power, and two 18650s provides good power but the baton is stupid long.I have BENDER and flavor wise it' blows away most vaporizers!

What tube set up do you use for x2 18500?The core is nearly a must have and particulalry for the Bender. The Bender by nature kills batteries. Stacked 18350s don't last long, two 18500s is nearly manageable and provides good power, and two 18650s provides good power but the baton is stupid long.
I like the Hammer top for the Bender and use it with the 18350 core insert to make it a little shorter, easier to hold, and with unlimited adjustable power. I like turning down the voltage after starting a session so far, but am very much still learning how to use the Bending unit.
This ^same. when the 8 and the herc are paired, i get very light hits. slow heat up. couldn't burn the oil if i held the button down for an hour. if i change the head back to the Persei on the same battery/tube set up, the herc fires like a dragon. 3-4seconds to full heat up. i have taken the 8 apart and cleaned and set up 20 times. if i push the button hard i'll get a slow heat up. the 8 can handle my Kanger ProTank only. essentially it makes the 74 white rod operate like the black one. so back to the persei for me until someone figures out why only half the power is being delivered. my 8 will be a baller ass ecig for now.
i love the 74x upgrade. if anyone is debating it, stop. just get it. makes the herc so much better, which i thought was impossible.

I'm about to order either the persei or the 8. I was set on getting the 8, but seems like people are having problems with it. . Are there any people who's new 8 worked flawlessly? I may just go back to the initial plan of getting the persei if this is a common problem.
i'm sure the issues some of us are having is a simple fix that we are not seeing. the 8 feels so awesome to hold. it's really solid. it's a brand new product gotta expect some hiccups. my persei has been through hell and back and it's always fired up when i wanted. that being said, i'd wait for Gary to investigate and resolve the issue and get the 8.I'm about to order either the persei or the 8.

If I do buy the 8. I'll also have to get batteries and a charger correct? I am planning on getting the sr74 as well, so what else would I need to get that to work good. I see other people running this same setup.
Yeah, I'm going to get a spare set also. What's the difference between the 18650's and the 18350? I read the the 18650 were needed so you could use the Herc sr74. Is this not the case with the new 8?the 8 + 2x 18350's (4x if you want a spare set, similar if you want 18650's) + the nitecore charger i4 or whatever
