Forgot to grab the X ring while I was shopping VapourArt.
Perseas, any chance of an edit to order 11359?
Tapd from the iPad.
No. You should be able to use the Gus switches on the Lux AFAIK... both have the same M20/1 threading. However, Digitals is right ~ The Paps v2.5 Switches are beyond compare - they are the best money can buy. Which is why today many M20/1 owners have actually shelved their switches and use the Paps bottom instead.
sweet!
believe me its next on the list now.
Just glad to have a real center post coming instead of my 10-32 brass screw.

My opinion:
Each switch is unique in its function. I would say they are in the same field, and unable to compete with each other. I favor the Lux switch just as I favor the X switch. Very smooth in action. Both do not require locking to stand upright with atty mounted, but locking features are present.
The Lux switch is comparable to a touch action switch. The X switch is just WOW.
Again, I haven't used a switch from GP that I didn't like.
I never post on here, but read every comment since acquiring a 2.5lux, & lurk daily on this thread alone. I had contacted Qorax about 2 months ago, & he literally made me source one out of his passion for the device & Perseas. I had some questions, & his reply was enormous. I am so grateful to you Qorax, as I am a very proud owner & now go broke each Vapourday because of you - seriously.
Idaholandho:
I am sorry for your loss. in other news to leave a sensitive topic alone, I have long awaited your full response to the Paps X. I had asked the day you posted about receiving the X . . . please brag already - the switch, machining, airflow, & how it differs from a 2.5lux. I really care to hear what Qorax & yourself have to say. also, I want in on this Team GP t-shirt if any proud owner is able to purchase - are you looking for any ideas on design, or already have your mind set on what to create?
Qorax:
what is this about a Piccolo Lux version coming out? I remember you posting a photo about 5wks. ago with a rendering you designed yourself, but is this actually going to make production? will these be the classic straight tube or new designed ones; both? also, how well does the SnP 23mm tank match with a Paps X in machining?
Perseas:
if my question above to Qorax is true, there should be an option to buy with a Spheroid as a full device for those of us that know we'd want both, but own neither due to wanting them @ the same time. clicking on 2 separate items would take additional time & may lose out on getting both in cart successfully. I think a bronzed aluminum drip tip with embossed GP logo instead of the laser etching or neither @ all would be create an exotic look in fluid design for the 2.5lux to pair almost any atty. out there with perfection. would the bronzing be harmful to do this as an SnP tank? you mentioned for Q4 you'll be working on a simplified hybrid adapter - awesome!, but this leads me to . . . how about a bottom SnP cap with it's own hybrid 20x1 threading & airflow for the ultimate in flush fitting beauty. the bronzed aluminum is trademark to me for the GP highest end & for as much passion as has been devoted to the Paps X, it would seem easy enough to make bronzed aluminum AFC rings like you did in brushed & polished, as well as a bottom switch, &/ or small GP insert in same metal with vinyl backing? just some ideas that may have no value.

Fabel, thank you very much for your support!
I have read and heard about the antimicrobial properties of copper and copper alloys, but I remain reluctant to use them for parts that come to close proximity with our mouth or the liquid, because I am still not convinced.
I mentioned earlier, that we are working on a proprietary connection for an upcoming product, nothing fancy though and I wrote that we don't find any usefulness to a separate hybrid adaptor.
A GP SnP with a hybrid look is an interesting idea, it's noted for further thought. Aluminium bronze AFC rings? Hmm, it needs and something else for symmetry and I don't know what, the top cap switch and its internals is out of the equation, only 316 SS in the moving parts can withstand any abuse.

It is very interesting. Instead of just the look, maybe create a SnP base that will serve as a hybrid connector. It my be a pain in the ... but, the look will win over the must own hybrid members.
I would love to see this on my Piccolo/Spheroid combos. A 17mm hybrid intrigues me. The Spheroid/Picollo combination is so popular now that a Sphroid hybrid with a Telescopic post would be a seamless look. The Spheroid as you know is incredible and members are talking about it constantly. It is tough, easy set up, best vapor/flavour set up and we all know it. Hence the reason my KF 2.1's sit.
On the redesigned Piccolo - WOW!
I honestly
Maybe on Monday, though I cannot predict when your parcel via BG post shall arrive to Canada, it could take a week or three weeks.
Open your pm.

By saying hybrid look I meant that when a device consists of a mod and an atty connected via a proprietary connection instead of 510, it is a not a real hybrid, like when the atty-mod combination is one part solely (Orion, Zen etc).
The Piccolo Spheroid hybrid project is not set for the near future, we have other more interesting plans for this year

Hi Fabel, Welcome aboard my friend! Nice of you indeed to post your thoughts finally.
LOL, seriously?
I love my LUX, reason why it's usually in my hands. And thus, a Piccolo Classic (straight version) in LUX model is my dream device. There are hardly any quality brass 14500 mods out there, thus when the Chi SLEEK was announced ~ I was stoked. However, my love for GP got the better of me and I started querying Perseas. Which is when I was made aware that indeed there was a Piccolo LUX version in the pipeline.
And I went Wow! B'coz, an Alu-Bronze amalgamate anyday is a better option than plain brass. It's yet in the planning/designing stage AKAIK. And I believe Team-GP shall be rendering it late this year, once the new variant of the Piccolo/s come by. Which is expected around mid/end-November. Whatever, whenever it is ~ I remain in deep anticipation!

We are 2 months behind our schedule, CNC facilities relocation, new updated versions in planning, etc, so I don't think we shall be able to keep the November date for the new GP Piccolo and its LUX edition.
No issues Perseas. Like I said, "Whatever, whenever ~ I'm sure it'd be the best".
the support isn't really my choice when I see how genuine you treat everyone in here. your passion in these devices & pride in the community that appreciates them truly shows repeatedly. lol, I almost wish I had an issue or struggle with something so I could have you come to my rescue as well.
I figured not knowing the true properties in close proximity to mouth or inhale was why you've been reluctant to make such a tip or tank, but just wanted to throw that out there because of how graceful the entire Lux series will have faded out with a commerative idea like this.
yes, there is no reason to use a separate hybrid adapter, nor be forced to go backwards in time to when different size pins were used instead of the dual telescoping types.
I'm overwhelmed you like my SnP hybrid type adapter tank. I was worried you'd take insult as I'd never be able to devise something of your quality, but constantly having your devices in my hand bring forth ideas that I would have never thought of vaping from anything else. easiest way I can describe what I am saying is . . . if you made cross ridges on the bottom side of the lower tank endcap & had the threads machined into the entire lower cap of the SnP tank, you'd be making a hybrid with air flow control while removing an extra layer from the separate topcap for a simpler & more refined look. just some initial thoughts towards furthering your excellence.
I've just remained in the shadows because I'm too busy vaping from my GP setups to type anything, lol. thank you for welcoming me, & thank you for encouraging me to have faith in the GP team. I am truly proud to own a 2.5lux, & haven't stopped bragging about it to anyone that will listen. surely I come off crazy as I don't have any vaping friends, but have still gotten plenty of my buddies to start understanding the quality & innovation behind the products.
because of you, I also was on the 1st batch of the Paps X. to be honest, it's too nice for me. sadly, I haven't even vaped from it. I was shaking when I opened my DHL package & immediately sat on the bed because I was scared it would fall out of my hands. I seriously was shaking @ it's marvel. I took everything apart, stared & inspected, then re-assembled before tucking it away where it still remains because I'm a fool who doesn't feel I deserve such an incredible piece of art.
I really can't afford this level of quality, but knowing how much I love my Lux, I just had to be the owner of the Paps X. I knew minimal about it, but blindly had enough love & faith in the company to bite the bullet. I stayed up to 4am out of fear that I would miss the sale & told myself that when I got it in, I'd have to decide on which GP MOD I would have to put up for sale (2.5lux or Paps X). well, damn!, they're so different & of equal quality, that I became somewhat depressed. I felt like I wasn't being a humble vaper with a handful of devices @ my disposal, & questioned whether I am living in excess with more material goods than necessary. yes, I am quite religious. but the truth of the matter is, I just can't help it when it comes to seeing anything on VapourArt. I've gone even further by ordering an SnP 22mm tank, SS tank replacement, brushed AFC ring, spare Lux bottom button, vase drip tip, etc.
just so proud of everything I know to be GP, & that is why I'm gettin' a bit silly already in regards to this Piccolo. so, you guys are sure to see me ask questions as time goes on if I see others aren't already asking. otherwise, I'll be back in the shadows with a huge smile on my face & a GP imprinted on my palm from constant use of what Perseas has brought into my life.
THANK YOU ALL MANY TIMES OVER. now!, when's the next Vapourday? lol.
I just had a thought that I need a pipe for my Spheroid. Now to find a 16mm pipe and start saving. Anyone know of one?
Edit ; these are 14mm and look nice. http://limelightmechanics.com

No problem for us. Your schedule keeps us and many on their toes as it is. Builders of other devices take up to 6 months to release an inferior product just to race time.
No builder can keep up with Team GP as, your device release dates come more often with many surprises to follow with.
Your delay allows us to keep up with you. Just when we are comfortable with a device from you, BAM another device or upgrade comes in harmonious time so we have time to enjoy your creations.
