Aluminium bronze v4 tubes. Very nice indeed. Into the basket!
Would have ordered another GP UAS drip tip without hesitation, nice match with a bronze mod, great mouth feel too, but no stock..
In for a second v4. What spare parts should I be ordering to go along with v4s so I'm set for a long long long time?
Springs, and maybe a set of insulators? I have not had to replace them, but being soft material.....
I LOVE those tubes....
I just ordered another v4 (mostly because mine is a little beat up).
As far as spares go, you don't really need any. maybe a spare spring for the gpin?
I would've loved to have ordered more Teflon drip tips and gp single holsters but I'm not sure when they'll be available again.if ever...

I wonder if the listed GP PAPS LUX 18650 Tubes version 4 are truly version 3 tubes that include the aeolipile / Heron engine logo or if they are new and without it.
Exactly, I was and still am a bit confused as to what they are, V3 or V4. Im assuming V4 because that is what it says in description. I remember those photos used to be labelled V2.5 and V3.
I use most of my gear in 18500 mode. Its just more comfortable in hand than the long 18650 for my small hands.
I got that 2.5 LUX tube a long time ago, used. It was very used, not dinged nor dented, lots of scuffs, so I gave a brush finish and its just wonderful as it oxidizes.
v3 tube is about 2mm longer than v4, I get battery rattle when combined with my standard v4 top cap and button, didn't try a longer GPin though.
Yes the photos are from v2.5 and v3 series tubes. I guess they are just to illustrate how beautiful the material is, but that this new v4 tube will be identical to the SS v4 tubes (apart from the gorgeous metal of course) and without the aeolipile engraving. I can imagine that Perseas still has some raw rods of his aluminium bronze laying around..

Not only more comfortable, but I also prefer my GP 18500 mods aesthetically, especially with short atomizers.
My v2.5 LUX 18500 tube has a beautiful deep patina, but still bright in colour, from light usage over the years. Functionally I prefer my X's and v4's on a daily basis (the X LUX is polished every few months).
The brushed v2.5 tube on your photo is gorgeous! You don't have battery rattle when combined with that v4 switch?
No rattle what so ever. I do a wide variety of Gpin lengths and am not sure what configuration I have, but I dont think there has ever been a problem with any battery or any atty. I use the PAPs V3 top cap, wish I had a V4 top cap
but as long as its the fantastic Gpin, Im happy
I will try the longer GPin on the v4 top cap, good call!
A while ago I got on a buying spree of older PAPs and Spheriods and ended up with baggies full of 510 connections, various Gpin sections etc. I even have different lengths of the Gpin parts that actually make the contact with your atomizers. I hold on to those treasures. They've come in handy with some of the oddball combos I put together.
Owning at least 1 of each GP model containing a GPin I have lots of spares too.
Looks like there are 5 different GPin lengths:
Looks like there are 5 different GPin lengths:
- no1 pin for GP PAPS v4
- no2 pin for GP PAPS v3 & v4
- no3 pin for GP Piccolo v4, GP PAPS v3, GP Heron v1, v1.5 & v2
- no4 pin pin GP Heron v1, v1.5 & v2
- no5 pin exclusively for GP Heron in hybrid connection with GP PAPS v3 tube, using a v4 switch and AW 18490 battery.
So glad you got it gone !!!!
I have a set of silver plated set that was put out a couple years ago? Dont know if its still being offered. I got a couple sets and have never used them. But I know if I need them they are there.
I have quite a few older brass 2.5 adj pins around. Not sure if all the bits were OEM GP parts but I have some that have slightly longer and slightly thicker parts.
Yeah, having a stock of different GPin lengths is more than just spares. In addition to the many bags of stuff provided standard with all my GP gear, I recently added an additional set of GPins just to be certain.
Yeah, another VaporDay on the 23rd. Gives me time to save up for a PAPs V4, yes...... finally.....
