Although I have tested till now only with GP PAPS v1, v2, v2.1, v2.5 SS and LUX edition, I suppose any mod with M20x1 mm threads will do the job.

I've got a couple I think (just cheap china mechs, nothing nice) , but it doesn't change the fact that I need a Lux for it :p

GP PAPS X v1.5

GPin.jpg


Here is what is coming for the GP PAPS X v1.5 till the end of December 2013.

An insulator for the switch, which will be given for free to any of the owners of the GP PAPS X v1, in case they want to use batteries without a proper insulation at their bottom. In any of their future orders from Vapourart or from our resellers, they can leave a note in their order to include this insulator. These insulators will be in stock from next week.

Another thing is the GPin, a simple approach eliminating any need for adjusting the positive post in relation to the battery and the atomizer.

We designed the GPin on August 2013, but it wasn't ready until now, it is a spring loaded pin, a double ended pogo pin, a quite common solution in the industry and we thought to apply it to our mods.

We started on 2011 with a hot spring, back then people were experimenting with all kinds of batteries. On August 2012 we designed the telescopic post for the GP PAPS X, but we introduced it in the GP PAPS v2.1, because we couldn't find a CNC to follow our schematics for the precise switch of the X, which finally came out 13 months later. On August 2013 we designed the GPin, which will replace the telescopic centre post in our mods and the first mod with that kind of pin will be the GP PAPS X. The spring will be silver plated and the applied pressure onto the contacts will exceed 5 kg to ensure a proper conductivity. The GPin's insulator can be dismantled with the help of a fork or needle pliers.

For the current owners of the GP PAPS X v1:
Due to GPin's size, a new top cap is needed, which will be available as a spare at our store in a few days.

Also, will there be a option to purchase the top cap with the GP PAPS X Ring, standard AFC ring or without a ring?

Hmm, this is a good idea, let me think about it and we shall do something. A ring is definitely needed.

EDIT

Although the GPin costs more than the GP telescopic post of the GP PAPS X v1.5, we shall keep the same price for the GP PAPS X v1.5, because the new feature is related to the functionality and the X is not cheap for many people. An option to buy an X ring additionally will be put as this refers only to aesthetics.

Chadsmo, Great name dude, well happy for you!!!:toast:

So I am almost wetting myself with excitement for the Heron, any chance of more pics?;)

Do you have any update on release dates etc?

Thanks.

I've decided that I'm going to order the SS Paps to go with the Heron instead of a Lux. I think it will just make a cleaner hybrid look in the end. Hopefully I can snag one around the time the Heron is ready to go, if not before.

Tomorrow, I'll post more pictures. We hope to have Heron ready before Christmas, but this isn't sure yet.
