Oh man, too soon too soon! I haven't recovered from the last purchases yet and I don't have enough time to save my lunch money! and here I was thinking of using my piggy bank to get another Heron...

The REALLY sad thing is that all of the above is literally true (well, I use a jar instead of a piggy bank)... no joke!

I'm calling for help from the spheroid experts in this group :) I have been trying to set the spheroid set up today ( only for the second time since purchase ) I have been using 2mm silica and .20 kanthal. The first few hits are perfect and then immediately after that all I get is dry hit after dry hit.

I don't believe I'm wrapping my coil too tight or too loose, and I know the wick is in contact with the filler so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here haha. I'm kinda new to using silica as I'm more of a genesis guy but I would love to get this thing running like it was when I received it!

How much fluff are you using ? Sometimes if your fluff is too dense it won't let the juice out of it fast enough to keep up with wicking.

Hi Perseas, count me in for a LUX X!! Will you be producing a LUX X Ring so the Heron can be used with it?

BTW, regarding the Heron and the gurgle problem...I have drilled out the center part of the bell using a 2.71 mm drill bit (slightly smaller than the suggested 2.95 mm) and the gurgle problem has vanished without sacrificing flavor or messing with the draw IMO. I am loving this atomizer and will provide a full review of both the Heron and PAPS V3 as soon as I get some time. Let me just say the combination of Heron / V3 is absolutely stunning...thank you Perseas for all your hard work, you and your team have raised the bar...again!!

I can't open my eyes when I come in here anymore. I had forgotten about these. Perseas is bringing out some awesome gear this year!

This is exactly what I was trying to say to the new guy last night. He is going to be in trouble with his wife for sure:laugh:

All she knows is that new mod stands keep popping up around the house and mods magically appear.

An expert I don't claim to be, I have several spheroids that all work flawlessly this is what I do. I use slightly less than some recommend for fluff as I use 100% vg. I use a piece 1.5 x 2.0 inches then trim to base of the bell.

28g wraped on 3/32 drill bit I do a 4/3 wrap comes in at 0.8 ohm. The coil sits just above the screws.

I then take a 2.75 inch piece of snc and remove 1 strand loop over and pull thru coil. The loop is about the diameter of the spheroid.
Looks something like this

I am not a big Ti fan. However, a Ti X is intriguing. Hmm.. How many will be made? :)
I can see a vision. This is going to be like your Super-T venture. You will be buying 1 of everything even if you don't ever use them:laugh:

I hear you buddy. I post bad news, Perseas posts worse news:facepalm:
100 units.
Depending on when these are ready, I may have to beg a buddy here to temporarily help me out.
Can you give us a rough hint of what the damage ($$$) will be on the ti?
Yes buddy.
This is good news! You have way too many must have items this year:toast: keep up the awesome work!
