Tomorrow we may have flat top caps for GP PAPS v2.1 without grooves available as spares for use with genesis atomizers.
Any idea when the Spheroid will be available again? Also do you know of any resellers of this product in or around Barcelona, Spain?
Welp guys and girls I'm lost. 
It worked perfect for a day, maybe two, after I got the spring in there. Since then its still hit or miss on firing.
I 100% sure found out maybe 20 mins ago when I was testing a new coil on this AGI I just received. Was getting it working on my natural, then popped it on my paps to see how awesome it looked and gave it a test fire with the cap still off, and the coils BARELY GLOWED.
The natural was firing them up instantly, so I tried again....same thing. Tried a diff battery, same thing. Tried disassembly and reassembly of my entire paps, same thing.
Its a .6 or .8 coil, so there's no questioning when its firing right.
I don't know what else to do! I want to take my paps out and show it off, but its been doing this hit or miss stuff for too long, and often enough where I'm afraid to have it out and about. I've tried diff batteries, diff devices on top, different lengths on the screws/nut inside all to no avail.
So please, who can help me?

Tonight! (11pm Pacific, but you may want to double-check my timezone conversion)
Flip the nut over that screws onto the button post. It's longer on one side and will increase the throw by a mm or so. As in take it off, flip it over, then screw it back on.Welp guys and girls I'm lost.

Tried it both ways...ill try it again but I noticed one side of the nut has a little raised part so I've def tried it already. I don't see what the crap is wrong, its such a simple device.........
hmm flat top caps, that is something i must have, glad I stopped by here today
perseas, I am out of town for work at the moment and my gf is having a bit of a problem with her spheroid, it seems to be leaking out of the base? this is a new thing as it was always dry so I'm not quite sure what she did to it when she took it completely apart, recoiled it, and added new everything... she's and experienced RBA user but i suppose can be quite clumsy at times... We have been using SS mesh #500 as per your suggestion in place of filler as she says she enjoys the taste better that way... we also set it up with kind of a burrito wick, it's german silica rope, folded over, then wrapped with mesh and coiled off the divice, then put back on the device and leads locked down and position]d over the airhole, witht the loops sticking upward to touch the mesh up above...
I had her skype me and take it all apart again and put it back together, the mesh seems to hold the liquid just fine as long as yhou dont try to overfill it, but the same is true for the filler material although I beleive the filler can hold a bit more juice without overflowing... anyways the same thing avter a few vapes, it leaks out of the bottom, not a whole lot, just a bit, but before, as she didnt know to look for it, she went to change the battery and the top of it was wet, it seems the juice leaked down through the piccolo's top cap... This has never happened previous to ths as I said before it was always pretty dry down there
The mesh doesnt seem to be, like, gushing or anything, its pretty much normal as it was with the filler, and when she tried it, today with the filler instead it was leaking as well, although she said not as much but she might not have vaped as much today...
the device is a piccolo v2.5/spheroid v2 and it is my gf's absolute favorite thing to take out of the house with her so i'd like to get it working again... we basically ruled out juice actually leaking down there so the only thing I can think of that it might be is, possibly, condensation? but I dont think that it would happen to this degree, thoughts? i can't get to it right now I just have to go by what she says, but I figured if anyone, maybe you could help, perseas?

Of course I will help you. At first, tell me if you regulated the telescopic post to make contact with the atomizer's pole. Then, check the negative pin, whether it is protruding enough above the level of the delrin insulator for a proper contact with the battery.
Push the insulator firmly to sit in its position.
The device is fully mechanical, so anything that makes it to be less conductive should be visible.
Check the delrin insulator if it is sitting in its place. The firing pin has to protrude slightly above the surface level of the delrin for a proper contact. Sand down lightly the pin, if it isn't completely smooth.

Leaking from the bottom of the base is a sign that the unit has been overfilled, because the interior of the base works as a collector tank. Blow from the 510 connection to push the excess liquid back to the chamber. Did she ever clean the base internally? There is a video tutorial in the other thread here in ECF how to open the base of GP Spheroid.

Hey buddy, Hope you are well. Do you have a time for the flat tops? Or did I miss them?
Question - What guage wire is the spheroid sent with?
Thank you Perseas and I just cant get over how well machined the spheroid is. Art.
We shall put them in 38 minutes from now to the store, I didn't find time yet to make photos, it was a request by many users and we are still polishing them.
I think it is 0,15 mm. If you make 3 turns for the coil and you have 1,5Ω resistance, it is definitely 0,15 mm.
I am glad you like it

I just grabbed another Spheroid -- that's two in one week! 
I'm absolutely loving how this atty performs!
I'm absolutely loving how this atty performs!
Just ordered a Paps with an extra 18500 tube but I forgot to get the flat cap... Any way I can pay for one without paying for shipping twice?
Either way I'm very excited! First high end mod (Best one I have is a natural...)
