I notice on my new Herakles plus that there is a 2- 3 second delay when before it fires when you hit the fire button. Now keep in mind this doesnt happen with any of my other sub ohm tanks. I would guess maybe there is a problem with the coil? Reason i say this is because with my crown , arctic or TFV4 it fires right away. Bad coil right?

More than likely a bad coil, or too low of a wattage setting.

Herakles v1 was my favorite SOT, the v2 went alway from NICHROME, they pre installed kanthal and SS coils... Don't like kanthal and I'm not a SS TC guy..
The tri coil parallel will take some time to ramp up, u have to up the wattage, and use the OG 150 for safety

actually my bad, it was because i was using to low of a wattage, i was lazy trying to vape the herk plus at 60 watts, i have other tanks that i always vape at 60. I just noticed the plus will fire bettter at 75 watts and up, stupid mistake on my part. You never stop learning with this stuff. Now this thing is blowing clouds

Sounds like you figured it out, but yes lower wattage = less power = more time to fully heat the coil = ramp up issues = delay.

You can combat ramp up times with finishing your breath out as you start to hit the vape, once the vapor comes out the airholes you switch and take a breath in. It's not ideal though as you will end up with a hotter tank and draining your batteries much more rapidly.

At ~.4Ω 60w should do it, but the makeup of your coil matters. Kanthal heats up slowest of the common wires. I used to vape this triple twist kanthal build and it'd take a good couple seconds to get it up to par, once it kicked in it was beautiful, and with the slow ramp up it also holds it's heat better so chain vaping wasn't an issue once I countered the initial ramp up.

Anyways, if you encounter delays on the vapor you're either going to want to increase the wattage (can yield undesireable effects on longer pulls, basically burnt cotton) or you can do as I said before and breath out initially to warm up the coil and then take it in once it's all good to go.

I'd look for different coil optoins, specifically if possible wire options. SS has treated me well, Nichrome is supposed to be even faster, Nickel so fast that you want Temperature control options or basically don't use it.

I don't own one but sounds like the Herekles plus is a more "top of the line" tank, and with that they all demand a bit more power. The tanks are great, they give you ample clouds and good flavor, but there's a cost, and that is juice, both the juice in your tank and the juice in your batteries. Not that I really have to tell you that if you're using the TFv4 who's premade coils are probably the most demanding on that front.

you are 100% right. And regarding SS, I guess thats why i love the Crown because it has the SS coil. I may try the SS for the herk plus so i can compare that to the crowns SS coils. thanks for the input Jerus i do appreciate it, this is a journey for all us vapers and its cool to know we cant discuss our successes and frustrations in a forum like this. Peace out and happy holidays.
