Good morning my friend!
No, at least for the SS Edition and I don't know, if we make a LUX Edition yet.

I've no idea about this pen, does it work for silver plated posts?
A home made electrolysis can be used every one or two months to reverse the chemical reaction that causes the tarnishing on silver, leaving the silver intact. Place the silver plated posts in a glass bowl lined with aluminium foil and fill it with 1/2 litre of boiled water to accelerate the chemical reaction. Add 1/2-1 tablespoon of baking soda and let sit for 10-20 minutes.
I'm American. I have no idea what a litre is...just kidding.
The pen seems to work fine, but I'm always looking for something more efficient. I shall give your method a try in the future. A few vapers in the SoCal area use similar products. Its original purpose was to clean optical cables.
I prefer rhodium plating. Plating is thin enough that the average conductivity of the rhodium itself should have no bearing on performance.
Good morning my friend!

Ahh, I was just being raunchyIt's a gr8 morning in here... the chill has set in, while the fall colors are yet going strong... lookin' heavenly - get's into you! I'm enjoying my vista with my 'X' in one hand - while a Tim Hortons in the other!
No, the 'X' is splendid the way it is. Looks gr8 ~ feels right. That 15+ microns of Silver is definitely a force-multiplier ~ I can feel the raw power in its steel. B'coz my attys are firing like never before - as if there'll be no tomorrow! This thing is a beastly beauty of a mod!
You have surpassed the bar in every department with the 'X' dear Perseas!
I have deliberately 'chosen' to go 'mechanical', right? I intend staying that way. To me an/y 'electronics' inside my mech-mod would mar the purpose. If I had to ~ I'd've gone the Provari way, wouldn't I?
Perseas, your method of cleaning the contacts in the X could not have come at a better time! While cleaning my 2.5 switch last night and adjusting my X for a battery change I was thinking how I'm going to keep that silver looking fresh. I really do notice better hits from the X than the 2.5. Maybe it's placebo effect but it just HITS!!!!! Both are so stunning. I get so many compliments on both if them. And it makes me smile knowing I own something so gorgeous. I'm generally pretty lazy but will stay on top of keeping these things looking sharp. I keep a clear J wrap on my 2.5 and have been in correspondence with Alon about getting a wrap made for the X. He said he was picking one up at Domo so he can get the measurements.
Perseas, I wanted to say thank you for creating the wonderfully amazing switch on my PAPS 2.5 & Lux! I have used a certain makers mods for quite awhile now & use to wake up with pain in my hand & wrist from firing the button so much the day before. But since using my GP mods, I no longer have that problem. Very happy to be able to say that & even more happy to own your amazing mods!!![]()
Although I am a Mech guy myself, (I love LR/SLR vaping) I do see a place for the kick. For those who would rock higher res micro builds, love cardo's in tanks, maybe don't rebuild a all, (can't imagine..lol) and don't want to go the "Provari way", but want the beauty and elegance of our beloved GP Paps, I say Kick it and enjoy...
May I ask why flat? It should be called squaroid then.

Redhat, the wrap would be made in sections so the seams still work. He has them for the nemesis as well which is similar in build. Different sections for different batteries.
You said it, Redhatpat. Every atty with which I am happy today sucked on the first 10-20 builds. Now, I get every Diver, every Ithaka, every Spheroid just right.
I never got the hang of the KFs, so I sold or traded them, but most folks do get them, so that's on me.
