I know you all know this but I am in that kind mood. This is the best thread hand down. All of you are super special, kind & caring.

Perseas you are very lucky to have such a wonderful group. Keep up the good work my friend.

Sam, you are part of the family. A big part. I specifically remember OUR conversation about this thread and the great family and how others can not compete. In fact, you just described yourself as well.
There is no you our I in our family, it is us.
We are lucky to have Perseas. Love him.
Just had this conversation with Yankeebobo and his wife Jojo last night, they will be joining us shortly from GG.

 

[Idaholandho]

We should all have Team GP t-shirts. Looking now for quality cotton T's. I'll be back.
You in King P?

Seeing our friend having to go though his ordeal is what spurred me on. Our friend Yankee is never to busy and constantly reaching out and giving up of his time to help all those that frequent the GG thread. It's hard to believe what is happening and no one is taking responsibility to fix it. When I joined ECF I started mostly at GG and Yankee from the beginning was always so helpful ~ I had so many questions. I don't say this to bore you but to have an appreciation for Perseas. He is a man that stands behind his products. He does not tell you it's not a problem and get a bigger o-ring or some other BS.

Thank you all for listening ~ Where do I order a T-Shirt?

Count me in buddy... pending Perseas' approval.

Hope everyone is well today for the sale and got everything they wanted or needed. I was able to get a few items but was a bit distracted as last night we had to put our best friend down. Dogs=Family. Last 2-3 days have been a bit tough.
On a happier note, I have many PAPS buddies that got their fix of GP today!

My condolences.

 

[curisu]

Yankee is a solid fellow, offered lots of insightful advice on the Sophia, and general knowledge in coils. Reminds me of Idaho and Q here

Can't believe I was just able to nab a SS SnP tube and Spheroid base and pin parts so many hours after today's scheduled VapourArt Pamplona Run. Just in time, too, I am down to my last Pyrex tube.

I cannot wait for the new Piccolo!

Spheroid question here (after a lot of rambling): my v2 has a tight draw and I was reasonably certain that's designed into the system. What I'm pretty certain is not part of the design is the hum/whistle I get when inhaling harder than a light, slow intake. That bothered me, so i took it apart to clean and maintain.

I noticed that the base intake holes were drilled out, one side completely, the other had some flashing still in the hole. I have a few wire-gauge bits here from 1.05mm to 1.15mm. With the smallest, i cleaned out the passage without changing the character of the draw. It seems the original holes were 1mm or slightly less. I had to remove a bit of material to get the bit to pass through to the other side.

Cleaning the flashing out didn't quite resolve my whistling issue, so i next took a closer look at the air chimney. From below, my 1.15mm bit would feed until it encountered what I guess is the chroming of the top. I didn't even chuck up the bit, i just employed it as a file and shaved at the sides until it could pass through without issue.

Joy! No more, or very much reduced hum/whistle. At this point I recoiled and vaped all day on it today.

On the way home, I stopped at the local hardware store and sourced a few more wire-gauge bits. I now have a bit that's just a hair under 1.2mm.

I still find the draw on the spheroid a bit too tight and am currently thinking of expanding the chimney hole to 1.2mm or so. If i do this, will i be ruining the spheroid?

I'm in... but only if they can be used for wicking in a pinch.

I was going to bring that up buddy. As I own a few GG's, they are shadowed by the number of GP I proudly own. I have been selling as you may know a bit of my GG. For no particular reason. When I pick up my PAPS mod or my Spheroid I smile.
This may sound a bit off but, my entire life I have an issue with seeing people, numbers and my surroundings in color. Synesthesia.
When I was a young lad I tried to explain it to everyone and I was thought to be touched a bit. Now, there are scientific studies with many people coming forward. I have proved it. Since my "accident" my head/brain has been studied for almost 2 years with this included. Not going into the story or living with it but,
GP is a blue wave to me.
I like Imeo enough but, between the devices, how Perseas accepts us and serves everyone, the friendship here, again GG can't compete all around in my world. And Perseas is a true friend of mine.
I am reluctant to talk about vaping as it is on a pedestal in life but, face it, it has brought many good people together, made us healthier, saved many lives and will continue doing so. And, who brought us here to the thread? Perseas.

I feel a bit goofy about this post and am looking forward to moving on to the next page

 

[Idaholandho]

AJ has a potential guy. I am on this with Perseas approval and will just order and pay. I'll prob get the tab except for shipping.

I'm thinking the Aeolipile in the center(Genius, Perseas) with GP PAPS with incorperating the X in the old school engraving font. With Vapourart and the resellers websites on the back. We can all toss ideas around with King P's approval. We could give back by a monthly contest. Tons we could do.

 

[Idaholandho]

Can someone explain the to do with the King Mod? Any owners here?

 

[perseas]

Perseas, we also need some 'super shorty' drip-tips for our Spheroids. Any plans?

If somebody is unshaved more than a few days, a super short drip on the Spheroid may pinch his facial hair around his upper lip during the use. I have felt it and I didn't like it.

Perseas you are very lucky to have such a wonderful group. Keep up the good work my friend.

People here are amazing and I consider myself very lucky indeed for having them and I feel obliged to improve our products and services further due to their kindness and great support.

The air hole between the post should be 1,20-1,25 mm, anything smaller isn't right and it will cause whistling and tight draw.
The air inlets of the 510 connection, should be 1 mm, anything less or a chip of metal there affects the draw.

I will send you a new base with your order #11294, but I need to know the finish of your Spheroid. Polished or brushed?

 

[Idaholandho]

Perseas, so, if we put together a design and you approve the design, it will be ok?

I'm Asian ... I don't have much body hair.

DISCLAIMER: I'm a dude so get that filthy image out of your head (not specific to perseas).

Bro, I like what you are talking about, nice idea, though I have to grasp the whole concept from the beginning.
Please elaborate your thoughts as you would explain them to a completely newbie, especially the contest part.

 

[digitals]

Hey Digitals, loved your drip-tip on the other thread. Ohman, is it?

Q, indeed my friend

Was you able to score one of these beauty's?
