That's weird. I thought it was the opposite! Mine works good with it all the way in too, but I just backed the contact screw out a little and I do have to push the button in alot more, but I don't have to push it as hard, and I haven't had a misfire yet. But I've only been able to use it with my e-juice tank since I adjusted it like G said to. Hopefully it's the same with the Herc. I'll test it out asap. Thanks G.
@THC SCIENTIFIC I just received my 8 and I am also getting misfires and very slow heat up. I noticed that on the bottom adapter of the sr74 only the top gold pin is spring loaded. the bottom pin that actually makes contact with the 8 is not spring loaded. Is that supposed to be like that?

Both have to be spring loaded for best connection. U can remove the bottom insulator and screw the stainless steel cylinders directly into the 8 to see if the bottom insulator is causing problems.
that's definitely the problem. just tried without the insulator and its working good. Dang well that sucks

I put the o-rings back on after I cleaned the gold pieces. Adjusted the gold screw in the button assembly and moved the collar nuts much higher up. I'm getting instant heat up now. Working perfectly.
My herc bottom adapter is faulty as well. Doesn't work with the 8. I have to use the cartridge straight in. Eliminates my nibbler though! How much for a replacement? Not listed on the site.

I just got the new Okeanos update kit today and it is huge improvement! My one concern is that in the product description it says it comes with "the new white O-Rings for the Okeanos Glass". Instead I got a little baggie with these orange o-rings that don't seem to work for anything let alone the glass. They are a little too thin to seal the glass. I really needed better o-rings for the bottom part of the Okeanos! Did any one else get these o-rings in their Okeanos update? They aren't even round, a cross section of the rubber would be square.

I purchased a okeanos v2. Came with these o rings you describe. They seal up my okeanos glass nicely. I also purchased a spare glass too. Seals that one nicely too but requires a little bit more tightening. These O rings Are mounted on top and bottom glass. Between the glass and the top/bottom stainless steel bases. The glass does not touch the stainless steel top and bottom bases. The "square " o ring is sandwiched in between.

As usual , as soon as I posted I figured it out. I just had to actually think about it for a minute.
Thanks!
Hey @THC SCIENTIFIC can you guys consider listing **JUST** the o-rings for each piece (SR71, okeanos, 8) as a separate part listing?
i know my nibbler XL wrecks my o rings

You probably need to downsize your o rings if your nibbler fits tight enough to wear them out.
Get a slightly skinnier size. Try a good hardware store.

I got the 8 firing my herc 74 consistently now, thanks guys! The frustration of reassembling this thing dozens of times finally paid off. I tightened the gold contact screw all the way, then backed it off a bit, but either way it was still tough to get the button to always fire the herc. So I actually cut down the button spring by 1.5 turns, and now it's very easy to push and always fires. Be careful doing this cuz it would be easy to make the spring too short to push the button out. My button now has a light touch and short travel distance, just how I like it! It was super annoying to adjust, but hopefully I hit the sweet spot.
The herc is purring like a kitten—what an amazing machine! At first, I would get oil in the lower chamber, but has improved between putting in the 2nd coil (even with very stable shatter) and more cool down hits. Not like it matters too much since I can reclaim it!

Right now I'm running 7.4v kiss cart on my persei. I want to step up to the Sr74. I think my persei is rather old. The number on the mod is 3210. Will the Sr74 work on it?
I noticed the Sr74 is out of as stock. Could I get an Sr71 and upgrade parts to make it an Sr74 essentially?

No I don't recommend this. You are pushing the batteries and the device to dangerous levels. The 3.7 black rod is about .6-.8 ohm. At 7.4v this is advised against. The white rod is plenty powerful once you get the hang of it.
@chronickiller7 it sounds like you have a older version persei. You can use this on the SR74 however you don't have short circuit protection. This means once you screw up once and cause a short circuit , your Persei top will more than likely be toast. The latest versions have circuit protection. As far as upgrading a sr71 to a 74, it is possible but IMO this is not common practice. If you want a Sr74, wait for it to be back in stock. A Sr71 is just as good if not better. It has a hotter rod and is 100% serviceable at home. The only downside is you have to assemble the sr71 110% correctly or you will have problems. More for the experienced w9 enthusiast

But the white rod seems to take a veryyyy long time to get to temperature. It barely gets warm

The white rod should warm up pretty quick. Do you have a voltmeter to measure the resistance of the hercules assembled using the white rod?
yea how do i do that?

Once you have the hercules assembled with the white rod do the following;
- put the voltmeter on the ohm setting.
-touch the leads together to see if you get a reading. If you do get a reading of let's say .5 ohm, keep that in mind. Write it down.
-this requires a steady hand. Grab the red + lead and contact the center gold pin securely. With your other hand grab the black - lead And contact the metal threads securely. This should give you a reading of about 2.2-2.4 ohm if the sr74 is assembled correctly. Remember step 2? Subtract your reading (ex. .5ohm)from the hercules sr74 ohm reading. More expensive voltmeters do this for you automatically. For example a Fluke
