Hello All and a hearty good day!
Congrats Chad, I am elated you won the contest. Especially a part of the crew that hangs out on a regular! Good on you!
Yankeestud, I am hoping your day is fantastic. I know how old you are! Happy Birthday or as we say in my family, Happy Birthday.
Perseas the Gpin is quite genius and I cant get over the innovation that is in constant motion for us. Thanks Brother.
ooooh Jo! Hi JoJo!
Thanks bud. But you have no proof
She says hello, we are in the kitchen cooking. Was just showing her the pictures of the GPin. I tend to be the grill on the bbq guy.
Thanks bud. But you have no proof
D says Happy Birthday.
Been awhile since been on this thread,that version 3 upgrade kit looks nice for the spheroid. I have a few spheroids love them that has to make new wicks pretty easy. Anybody has a extra v3 upgrade kit they want to sell please send me a PM
Make sure you tell D thank you.
You just did I am her assistant right now. She tells me what to type and to stop screwing around the stove
Tell her to tell you to type potato. It is yankee's birthday he deserves it.
Happy birthday Yankee!
Happy birthday Yankee!

I would have to agree. Screwing around the stove can lead to accidents.
Does the GPin come with the new 1.5 top cap that can be bought as a spare or must it be purchased separately? Will the current X Ring work with the new 1.5 top cap?
That's hilarious. An assistant to an assistant. And I still often wonder who I'm talking to.You just did I am her assistant right now. She tells me what to type and to stop screwing around the stove
Thank you
Idaho ~ What's cookin's good lookin's
Now THEY are one dayam good lookin couple!!
Yes, but price is a bit steep, don't you think?
He was not willing to negotiate. I have had the x on my list and thought I might have a chance.
Does anyone know when the next batch will be available either on domo or vapourart? Also where is the best to buy for someone in the us? From vapourart or domo? I imagine it doesn't matter.
I missed out on the killer deal last week on an x too. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out in thr classies.
I believe I am going to have to start my own gp family.
After finding this thread by accident and reading many of the posts, I am definitely sold on GP. Looking forward to my first purchase, plus the upcoming new products and upgrades!
Welcome here and thank you for your appreciation
We believe to have another batch this month, I post prior notification always and we'll supply our resellers.
Yes and yes!
The GPin comes with the new 1.5 top cap that can be bought as a spare.
The current X Ring works with the new 1.5 top cap.
Loads of guides out there but i thought share this guide i made up:
Tools required:
1 x Tweezers
1 x Nail clippers
1 x Philips screwdriver or needle nose pliers (Depending on whether you have nuts or the new v3 kit with screws)
1 x Blowtorch or Lighter
1 x Paperclip or Pin
1 x Spheroid fork or a pair of needle nose pliers
1 x Ruler
1 x Scissors
1 x 0.2 Kanthal
1 x 3mm Silica wick
1 x Juwel Filter PolyPad Compact, it's what i use : Juwel Filter PolyPad Compact: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors
Preparation for the GP Spheroid:
Use the Spheroid fork or the end of the needle nose pliers tips to remove base and turn clockwise (it has reverse threading) to remove the base:
Clean all parts in warm water and thoroughly dry and re-assemble the lower base back onto the main base anti-clockwise (it has reverse threading) you should now have this:
Before starting make sure your hands are clean as anything on them like grease etc will be going onto the wire/wick and filler.....you don't want that.
Building the GP Spheroid:
Step 1: Cut a bit of Juwel filter polypad too the size of 2.5cm x 4.5cm, Cut a bit of 3mm silica wick at 5cm length, Cut some 0.2 Kanthal at 10cm length
Step 2: Get your tweezers and hold the wick and torch it using your blowtorch or lighter, this should burn of any impurities on the wick:
Step 3: Hold the 0.2 Kanthal and torch the coil with your blowtorch or lighter until glowing red, this will make the wire less springy and easier too handle:
Step 4: Fold the 3mm silica wick in half to make a lasso:
Step 5: Get a paperclip or pin and hold the wick against it (gives you a more secure holding of the wick and wire when coiling) :
Step 6: Wrap the 0.2 Kanthal around the wick four times (gives around 1.8ohms), Wires should end up under the wick and facing opposite from each other:
Step 7: Place the wick/coil between the two posts in a diagonal position:
Before step 8: Decide whether you want more throat hit or less throat hit, the higher the coil the more throat hit, the lower the coil between the posts the less throat hit (very marginal though)
Step 8: Position your coil where you want it to be (as per above) and hold in place then wrap the end of the legs around each screw/nut and tighten up to secure the wires in place:
Step 9: Once the wires are secured wiggle the end of each wire too give a clean snap from each screw/nut:
Step 10: Attach the base too a device to make sure all resistances are fine and do some dry burns to make sure each wrap of coil is heating up evenly, if they ain't adjust until they do:
Step 11: Take your spheroid bell top and wrap the 2.5cm x 4.5cm Juwel filter polypad around it, not tight and not too loose:
Step 12: Place the spheroid shell around the bell top and screw into place trying to make sure no Juwel filter is on the thread of the bell top:
Step 13: Make some adjustments of the Juwel filter to make sure it is nicely and equally fitted into the spheroid shell and nothing is blocking the center tube:
Step 14: Choose your chosen juice and fill up a syringe (i prefer syringe) and insert the syringe down the side of the Juwel filter right too the bottom and fill up (i get around 2.5 too 3ml of juice).....once you see the top of the Juwel filter full of juice stop filling, if you have over done it get some tissue and soak up the overfill:
Step 15: Put some of the chosen juice on your wick and make sure you have no hot spots and that all is looking good:
Step 16: Get your base and with your fingers hold the lasso upwards and screw the base into the top part so that the lasso touches the fully juiced Juwel filter:
Step 17: All done and you can now vape away on one of the best tasting attys:

Nice write up and great pictures. I find the loop on the wick can be much smaller and that if it's just barely touching the filler material that the wicking is better and there is no danger of restricting airflow. Next time you do a build try out holding your loop down flat so it's pointed straight out and adjust it so it's only protruding about 2mm past the edge of the base.

Will do, i do like trying all different versions what others do, also looking into doing a microcoil/cotton build.....was thinking of wrapping the cotton legs around some non res wire for stability so the cotton does not droop down.
