I think I'm ready for the Killer:)
Spent the last two days devouring all the YT vids on it, liked Todd's and George's. Which makes me believe that here's an answer to my failure/s with Diver. And finally my SnP might come out of the shadows. Anyone knows which is a better site to get one from in this part of the world? Or must it be from the House of Mods? Classies here doesn't seem to sport one for some time.

I have what you need brudda. Brand new with stock wick and extra long tube. :)

I had sent you a PM yesterday 09:09pm, pls check IdBro:D

Ah! and replied sir.

Is that a block of cheese???

This is funnier than you know. It is not, it is a leftover piece of natural stone that I cut for the border of muh pizza oven. So many people ask me that! Although, My wife and I do have a small dairy that we lease out and he makes specialty cheese.
So, funny.

@q & @idaho - you all need to get a room together... i can feel the man love oozing through the interwebs ;)

seriously though, i hope to here good/bad things about the killer vs diver first hand. i'm on my 4th fix attempt on my leaky diver and am almost ready to throw in the towel :(

although, if a 22/23mm spheroid announcement comes out, i may ignore tanks forever!

I'm not familiar with the Piccolo switch; is it the same as the Paps?

Stick around, someone will supply you with the info you need.

Probably you have to take apart the switch and flip the rectangle nut from the other side in order to permit you to push the firing button.

Take apart the whole switch and clean it, above are all the parts from version 2.5 & v3. In v2.6 & v3.1 there is no spring but the internals of the switch base are the same.

Clean the switch locking rectangle and its base.

The locking rectangle can be seen in your photos, you have to unscrew it, it is inside the button :D

Perseas,

My Piccolo has been sitting quietly in my wooden mod holder since early March since the switch doesn't work properly. I contacted you on this thread a few times and at the time you told me that I would need to wait until you finish production on the Paps series since it doesn't make sense to change the CNC machinery to build a replace switch or switch parts. Ok, I can agree with that and I've been patiently waiting. However, it appears to me that you now have built the Piccolos again, sold them and here I still sit waiting for my switch parts.

On August 1st you said :
>>Hello buddy,

>>In a few days, we shall send the replacement parts for free via registered mail or with DHL for 10€.

>>Kindly,

>>Perseas

I opted for the registered mail since I had already waited for over 4 months but really didn't understand why I would need to pay the 10 euros anyway for a parts to replace defective parts. Well, I have now waited another 24 days without any email saying it was shipped or seeing the parts. What gives???

Please let me know if the parts have been shipped or not. My patience is now exhausted..

The option for fast shipping was given as a choice, it isn't obligatory.

Miro my associate in Sofia simply forgot you, there is no excuse and I am truly sorry for that. The best I can do is to bring him in the office on Monday morning to send it to you.

Hi guys well after many hours messing with the switch I discovered the Spring wasnt Springing the button back and there was no tension ! Floppy switch syndrome lol
Looking at it there was a tiny break in one of the coils of the Spring ? Weird
Anyway I have utilised a spring off something else which is enabling me to use the Picollo till I order a new Spring
Thanks for everyones help :)

PS how do i go about getting a new spring the item is not available in store
