Thanks perseas! Really liking the flavor from the dripper so it is worth it, just happy to have some new GP gear.
Will the current top caps work with the Pro?

They won't work, the Pro is totally new design.

We had a change of plans regarding the releases of the GP Dripper Pro and GP Heron 3.0. The Pro will come out first and in a few days I will start posting photos and a video review will follow. The Heron will come out later, so I won't post photos yet, I hope you understand
Since the Heron v3 hasn't been released as I had hoped, I used the break to pickup even more fluff, another ptfe tip, and a couple of airflow reducers for my Heron v2.
I don't know if I'm doing it right but I installed the afr by inserting it from the top of the deck - meaning that I had to raise the level of my coil a bit. there is about 1mm gap, by eyeball, between my 2mm (inner diameter) coil and the raised lip of the afr. I didn't want to raise the coil anymore than that for fear of contact with the (single hole) lid. I hope that the heat from the coil doesn't blacken the afr.
So far, I don't notice much in the way of flavor difference, but I never expected to. The draw is a little tighter (which I like). My hope is that the raised lip of the afr might cure the intermittent leaking of liquid through the afc that I could never quite completely eliminate (but have learned to deal with).
What I have noticed in the first few minutes, after rebuilding, is that I no longer get vapor exiting directly from the afc while firing vertically without inhaling. Hopefully that means that it's harder for liquid to come directly from the coil and into the deck hole.
Additionally, I'm hoping the raised lip of the afr will help deter pooled liquid on the deck, or in the chamber, from pouring into the deck hole and eventually out of the afc.
Fingers crossed!
btw: I was without my HnP for a couple of days as it fell out of my pants pocket and onto my friend's car seat one night while out. I used my paps v3/heron v1 and my TiX/Odin dripper in the meantime. As good as those products are, the performance difference between my Paps v4/Heron v2 was night-and-day. I'm really glad to have it back in my hands again.

fwiw, I've been chain vaping for a few hours, now, and have yet to experience any major leaks!
unfortunately, I have noticed a flavor change for the worse. It could be build related (maybe too much wick) or possibly because I had to move the coil higher up. I'll rewick shortly and update after using the build over the weekend.
The results seem very promising though

I have a quick question about the finishes available on the Paps G4. I have two which are the natural brushed finish, and am going to pick up a 3rd. To my understanding the following finishes are available:
Many thanks.
- Natural Brushed (standard, what I have)
- Bead Blasted
- Mirror Polished
- Brushed & Polished
- Bead Blasted & Polished
Many thanks.
Hi all Just dropping by to report back.
I've gone through about 25ml of liquid after installing the afr on my Heron v2 and I'm happy to report that it is working wonderfully! The raised lip has stopped all leaks/floods and I am much happier.
Aside from the installation of the afr and the raising of the coil to accommodate the raised lip of the afr my build is identical to all of my other builds. It works wonderfully although I may try to adjust for the vaping difference from the raised coil (there's significantly more throat hit and a bit less richness in the flavor).
I did open up the afc because I guess I got used to the looser draw.
It's been a little over a year since I put my first build in the Heron v2. Even back then I had wished for the "cotton topper" (deck lid with single hole on top) and a raised lip on the deck hole. Now I have both and am extremely happy
Cheers, all, and wish you all a Merry Christmas!

I have this one, it is not PAPS v4 specific, but you can see the different kinds of polishing. It is very difficult to shoot the SS in different finishes without ruining the look of one over the other. Around January 10, the GP PAPS v4 will be available again.
Posting here b'coz I've used a Paps V4 in it
Beautiful, thanks very much. This one pic makes it much simpler to get a visual overview of what all the options are. A suggestion: you may want to include something similar on your website which shows up when the drop-down menu for finishing options appears. Maybe I'm differently-abled, but it's difficult for my brain to process the differences between, for instance: brushed and polished, bead-blasted & polished, etc., without actually seeing it.I have this one, it is not PAPS v4 specific, but you can see the different kinds of polishing.

Much appreciated and happy holidaze to everybody!
Good Lord - what is this? Are these created today or is this another special edition GP I missed because I'm always late to the party.

That's the GP Paps X with the sections unscrewed for visual effect. That's probably the SS version that was released almost three years ago and is still for sale from the Vapourart website.
cliffy; I apologize for "stolen" your picture. Somebody knows size of marked O-ring 18x1 or 15x1 ?! Thank you
