Spheroid v2 - Anyone Using This?

[Huffelpuff]

I've seen reviews that were done by Mac and Scott, but haven't heard much else about the Spheroid. Love it? Hate it? How does it compare to other rebuildables? I'm also curious if people are having a decent time finding the filler material at local stores.

pbusardo and grimmgreen have reviews on them.
i'm just not interested in filler material

As everyone already knows reviews are truly subjective and everyone is entitled to there opinion. As a 5 year vapor and owner of just about every APV and RBA out there I can say without a shadow of a doubt the Spheriod is one of the best RBA out right now. It's extremely easy to rebuild, absolutely never leaks and can be thrown in your pocket with absolute confidence that nothing will happen to it. The amount of vapor and flavor it delivers is absolutely head and shoulders above all of my other RBA's (Zenesis, DID, Penelope, etc...). I'm currently getting somewhere between 3 to 4 hours between refills and let me tell you the Spheriod uses every last drop of juice before the flavor starts to diminish .

Please I'm begging you don't get turned off by the fact that it uses filler material. The filler material does not alter the flavor in anyway and never comes in contact with the coil.

If you have the opportunity to purchase one, please do so you will not be disappointed.

i'm sold. when vapistvapourizers gets GP piccollos in stock i'm going to buy one of each.

 

[VaporHead512]

Where can you buy them?

Tried checking out vapourart but I keep getting 502 bad gateway

I tried to view that site last night and could only get to the home page.. Every time I tried to look at the GP products it would just never go!!! I am now also getting that error 502 bad gateway!!!

 

[Huffelpuff]

50 Spheroid v2s will be available every other night at 21:00 GMT (5:00EST). There will be a sale tomorrow.

Thank you so much esm, I ordered one but was a bit nervous when I saw that there was filler material involved. I do absolutely adore my GPaps (even though I thought I could never like a bottom button) so bought this. I'll be looking into a picollo or GPaps X next.

I can't get into the site either. Pbusardo did a review and he gave it a thumbs up. I too am a bit leary of getting something with filler material since that was what I was trying to get away from when I switched to the VN. They look simple to build. I don't want to mess with combining non-resistance wire with resistance wire and oxidizing mesh. He said these are similar to the steam machine but they don't leak. In his zap review, he pretty much said you don't have to spend $100 on an expensive rebuildable to get a good vape. I notice that most days, he's using his VN.

I also am noticing that many are really wanting the expensive, hard to get rebuildables. Just because they're expensive, exclusive and hard to get.. does that make them give a better vape than, say, a Vivi nova? Most people (myself included) are suckers for hard to get items. I have delivery devices that work very well for me but I do like to experiment and try different things if it's not too expensive (this is a hobby for me after all).. does anyone know how much the GP Spheroid costs?

 

[Huffelpuff]

85 euro - free shipping over 100 ($140 USD)

Would love to get one but in need of funds atm (lost job boohoohoo), wouldn't worry about the whole filler thing...it's not like the filler is being heated up or cooked with the juice it's just there to hold the juice.

The Spheroid is a fiberglass wick; that would be more of a concern than the filler, which does't touch the heating element at all vs. ie. a carotmizer does.
I take my chances with silica (fiberglass wick) for now ... i have a Spheroid V1 in the mail because of the reviews ( I LOVE FLAVOR - and VAPOR) and I have a Fatty V2 which is silica now too.
Traded a ZAP for the Spheroid just because they have been hard to get and should be that good.
What is the difference with the V1 and V2 Spheriod please?
I figure I will get a V2 if the difference is substantial...
with all the $dough$ I spend on vaping I MUST have the BEST!

 

[Huffelpuff]

Think that the difference is the size or shape of the bell. It's described on the vapourart.com site.

 

[ukeman]

Thanks Huffel, I'll have to check that out. Does the system allow for upgrade to V2 from V1?
Anyway, I won't get too excited (already am though) about it until V1 in my hand.
I see a SteamMachine on the classies tonight too...

[Huffelpuff]

I think that the v2 replacement bell is the upgrade part, but would post at the other place and see if Paps will confirm

 

[urquidezj]

v2 has no wires on the base, completely dissasembleable (word?) lol everything else the same

 

[ukeman]

I love my V1 got in trade yesterday. Yep. Traded for new ZAP sight unseen. Glad I did. Everything checks out as hoped. Draw, vapor, flavor, ease.

 

[ukeman]

If you ask me, when respected reviewer says best flavor (vapor plenty), I am all about it!
I look for a vendor. Problem is they are produced over there somewhere, and sold in small batches, and I hear GP owners get first dibs too.
If its because of the filler, or what, and not many seem to be talking about them, my chances are that much better.

I picked one off the classies, V1, and am so pleased that I've been stalking the site for V2.
Just got a line on a V2 in the classies; new.... ! Just waiting on the invoice.
I have a stash of hh357s, a dozen hybrid atomizers from Vapage new spec (which are fabulous, and for the price), a Fatty v2, some AVAs ... This GP Spheroid outdoes them all. It's everything I've been lookin for in spades.
I guess the only thing I don't have now is a good Gen.... Will give mesh another try. Didn't know how to nudge the coils before when I had a couple.

I just got through setting up my Spheroid V2, mated it with V2 Piccolo and filled it up wih some cinnamon cookies juice I got from the vapourart site. I really like it, ough I have only been vaping it for a few minutes. It is comparable to the GG Penelope, yet easier to setup. The only quibble I have with the setup is bending the coil/wick above the air hole, it took a few tries to sort it out. I love the filler material, it allows you to vape whilst holding your device at any or no angle, wicking in better than Penelope...I will post a picture in a few.

 

[ukeman]

I use a rather thick wire and leave enough room near the posts for hoisting it up and over; about 2-3mm.
It does wick well but I also drip into it - can't seem to flood it

Are you "supposed" to refill wicking filler from the top cap? I've been just injecting into the filler from the bottom where the wicking is exposed sort of like a reverse carto fill.
