Yes the Sale took place yesterday at 1800 Greek Time ! The Lux pretty much sold out in a couple of minutes ! But most of the other stuff was available and it looks like most folks got what they were after !

My only gripe is an occasional "minor" seize of the lock ring. Is Noalox my only hope? Again, minor gripe, just wondering if anyone has a good fix for this? I love how it is an easy spin, don't want to lose that with grease. (So wish it was reverse thread).

I'm considering using some mild Loctite on the bottom cap, I keep unscrewing it to lock it.
Arggh. I wish I had known. I would definitely have been waiting on the computer to place an order. I think that the nemesis and the lux are one of the most beautiful mech mods.
No, don't do it. As u correctly opined, u'd lose that easy - finger spin to lock - with the grease.
I'd disassemble the whole mechanism, give a thorough wash with dish detergent liquid and reassemble it again. That is most likely to fix the issue. At max, after the wash I'd put a tiny, smallest of, one drop of machine oil on the threads (let me repeat: one small drop).

BTW, the Lux's lock-mechanism is NOT required to be tightened at it's ends (lock or unlock)... it's meant for just a flick
My order shipped today, now that's what I call excellent customer service. Time to do some postman stalking I think
Please don't!
#1... Even the "mild" Locktite is pretty damn strong. You won't be removing it without pliers and a lot of force.
#2... It's not conductive.
Basically, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a better way to destroy a tube and switch.
If you're having issues with the lock ring sticking, just add a drop if machine oil to the lock ring threads and to the flat side of the lock ring.
Leaking STOPPED √
All I did was click some pictures yesterday
Diver Update: Kept empty tanked since the last few days in sheer displeasure. Y'day topped it up for pictures, vaped a li'l (b'coz the bloody thing doles out good VTF), took pictures and left it atop the Lux. It remained likewise overnight. T'day morning removed the tank - lo and behold! - not a drop anywhere!
Miracle? I guess so! Or, did it need acclimatization, time to settle down? I'll be watchin' you baby...

NR-R-NR, 30g Kanthal, 30g Nickel, 2 x 2mm Silica, Strands cut & built exactly as per Atmistique's vid. 1.2Ω.
Top-up technique:
Plugged Cartodriver, removed SnP's bottom cap, pushed the Diver down till it's air-hole was out of the tank. Loosened SnP's top cap to align its fill-holes. Syringed thru one of the fill-holes. Stopped when the juice was just touching the brim of the top-cap (yes, didn't fill it full). Pushed the Diver back inside. Now tightened the top-cap -- and then removed the Cartodriver. Kept it to to settle down for a minute - then vaped. No gurgle, no flooding, no dry-hits. Nice, clean vape!

I bought a Lux 2.5 from the classified section. I am having issues with the 18500 tube. Either its me or the 18500 tube wont accept a 18490 battery? I am using a AW IMR 18490 and even if i unscrew the center pin on the top cap to its furthest point ( before it falls out ) it wont reach the top/positive on the 18490 battery.
I am using a small magnet on top of the battery and it fits and works fine now.
This is my first GP, So that is why i am asking. Normally all my other mods that accept a 18500 will also fit a 18490.
Am i correct that the 2.5 lux 18500 tube will only work with a 18500 battery?

No, It came with 1 male pin and 1 male/female pin ( not the 2 male pins ) ..
Comes to find out the guy who sold it to me told me it was a 2.1 pin assembly AFTER i already received it..
He said that he bought the 2.5 lux BEFORE they were shipping with the new 2.5 pin assembly..
So i emailed vapourart and they cannot help me. I guess the only way is to purchased a upgraded pin assembly or start using 18500 batteries ( though all my other mods are 18490/18650 )
So not sure what i plan on doing.

Sorry to hear that. It's a great device and i'm sure you will like it once you get it going!
So, there's a center post and a telescoping screw. What if you unscrew the center post a bit (so your atomizer still makes a connection) and also unscrew the telescoping screw a lot - does that help? You might also consider a mechanical fuse to add some height to the battery (I always use one, even though it leaves a little gap in 18350 mode).
I was thinking about a fuse i just have to grab one, The fuse might do the trick!
Since i cannot find any 18650 lux tubes anywhere, I might get a 18650 SS tube.
Are the SS tubes just as solid/strong/thick as the lux tubes? or is the metal thiner?
Thats another nice thing i like about the GP is the battery tube metal, Is thick! very solid feeling... I am just wondering if the SS is the same way?

Gauge wise they are identical... the Alu-Bronze Tube and the SS Tube.
