GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 1

...And the Piccolo-LUX? Pls don't forget that (in "Classic" version)!
__________________________________________________________
*Two mods which I use the most, always at hand when outdoors ~ Paps-LUX and
Piccolo Classic (though I've a problematic switch). I can't live without these two

I have it in my mind all the time, I wish we had more CNC available, after GP PAPS v3, the GP Piccolo v4 will come out, no ETA yet.

Uh oh. I am going to have to hide in 2014. V3?

We constantly improve our mods. Between every batch small upgrades occur. When we gather more, we create a new version. This doesn't mean that the previous ones aren't working well, but for us, change is the inherited nature of modding. We try to keep a compatibility factor between versions, this is not always feasible for all the parts. Relax and watch, no need to upgrade, what you have in your hands is well done and working as it should.

Oh I have ZERO doubts about what's working in my hands my friend.
I couldn't put the LUX down. Had the lux in one hand, the X in another and the SS in my lap as an emergency in case my tank went dry. All as I stared at a table that had orings all over it wondering what to do with them all.

GP Heron (prototype) on a GP PAPS Lux 18650 v2.5.

WOW!! Perseas, absolutely gorgeous!! I haven't been this excited about an atomizer....well since getting my first Spheroid, LOL. Although I was dissapointed about losing the name game, lol, I think the name fits this atomizer perfectly...GP HERON, what great choice!!

Thank you very much, I think too that the name is spot on for this atomizer
Your candidate name, atmosphere was a pretty smart idea too

Thank you Perseas

The AFC is an excellent addition, I am one who prefers the draw feel of a 1/16 hole...I drilled out the Spheroid holes to that dimension and the vape flavor was not sacrificed in the slightest (any plans to bring AFC to the Spheroid?) I have many high end atomizer's, the Aqua, 2 Kayfun 3.1's, a Squape, Origen dripper, 3 DID's from mmvapors, Trident, Nemesis, just to name a few, and the Spheroid is by far the most flavorful vape of them all. So far, how does the Heron compare to the Spheroid when it comes to Vapor production, TH and flavor?

We have many plans for the Spheroid and a few CNC, so one step at a time. In matters of throat hit and vapour production, Heron hits the Spheroid, the taste is quite subjective, it behaves differently from Spheroid, by intensifying the sweet notes of a flavour. The AFC ring influences the whole experience.

I am trying photo bucket for the first time for larger pics, hopefully this works

The only problem with this setup is that I don't have a GP Piccolo The Ba Gua is ok, but not near the quality of GP Products! I can't wait for the Piccolo V4

 

[Kataphraktos]

Yes, we are going to have available top caps compatible with the previous versions. The switch v3 embodies now the vent holes. Changes have been made to the button, to the housing of the switch and it'll have a reverse locking ring. We're working to make the switches compatible with the previous versions for the time being, while we've increased the precision of the machining.

I doubt I need to say this to you of all people, but... compatibility with older versions should be at the bottom of any list of priorities, and should be sacrificed immediately in favor of progress. Microsoft crippled its operating system for decades in order to maintain compatibility with ancient hardware that few used.

I own a 2.5 Lux, if I want the new design, I'll buy the new Lux.

A tribute to Perseas and his works of art...I love my GP products!!

Has anyone ever told you you're way too organized...just kidding, of course...I'm envious.

I talked a bit to him also for a couple for buddies.
Honestly buddy, it is easier and faster just to spin one on a bit, toothpick or whatever after one gets the hang of it. My index finger also hold tension. The coils stroll won't be perfectly together and still need to be torched and crushed after to alleviate spring. Grab a metal coat hanger and cut the long part out and bang out 15 or so after you figure out wraps + or - 1 for preferred ohms and you have enough to last 6 months. I bet the ones that stick to micro won't really use the device after a month(especially when you doggy finds it buddy and chews it up )
This is all said in respect as I still think it may be useful to some.

you are 100% correct. I have some screws that work well. It is the gadget hound in me that just likes these little toys I really do not NEED it, they just look cool

Idiocy is the correct term, but the Idiocracy movie of 2006 illustrates many tragicomic adventures of humanity happening in a future time and the fact that the promotion devalued this movie is not accidental. The critical moment for the control of any society, comes when people start to admit that they have being stupid from the beginning and they have to blame only themselves for that situation. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Despite all its strengths, "Idiocracy" has the distinct feel of a movie that was taken away from the director/editor before it could be fine-tuned.

I cannot for the life of me understand why a movie this funny would just be dumped into a few theaters with no advanced screenings, no trailers, no marketing whatsoever.

It's as if the studio decided they were not going to spend any more on it and just walked away.

Or maybe they thought the movie had the makings of a cult classic, and the only way for it to become a true cult classic was to set it up to fail?

Whatever the case, it is a shame, because Mike Judge and this film in particular deserve better.

I predict this movie will have real legs on DVD, and word of mouth will propel it to the success it deserves.

Perhaps the Fox Executives saw themselves in the characters, were confused, and thought it was a documentary?

you know how I feel about this flick It is a classic movie that is funny, smart and sad....

To my fellow Canadian GP and Grants enthusiasts on here:

I recently ordered directly from Grants and my order was stopped by customs. I lost 4 bottles. I just ordered from Vapour Art a bottle with my hardware and it made it through. This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Bad because as a first time Grants user I am realising that I like it as much as my other favourite, Mothers Milk and I'll want to replenish this as often as I can. My concern is the label leaves no room for interpretation. It clearly states nicotine and even warns against nicotine. If customs looks at it they wouldn't have to guess and they would stop the delivery.

So my question to the fellow Canadians who are passionate of Grants, how many times have you ordered, what quantity each time and how often have you been stopped? Also are you only ordering it from Vapour Ant or are you also ordering from Grants?

For the non-Canadians that might not be familiar with Canadian import challenges. We are not allowed to buy juice with nicotine and customs will stop it from entering the country, if they catch it. There is not an actual law but Health Canada has imposed this restriction without it actually being illegal. I have only had my shipment stopped once but none of the other vendors had labels that were so clearly ejuice with nicotine.

I have heard of Grant changing his label slightly to get past the customs ordeal. I know mine came labeled "custard flavoring" and I had no issues. You may want to discuss it with him and see if he can help you out somehow.

Nicely said Perseas.
There is no limit for idiocy.

Especially true for bureaucrats...

All things in life are under progression and a balance has to be kept between the old and the new. We use the best materials we can find to ensure that our mods can withstand falls, daily use and wear of time, while we want to support them as much we can. We got rid off the spring in the positive post and the cir clip in the switch, now we got rid of something else, but we believe, people who had bought these versions should be able to upgrade without buying a whole mod. Sometimes, it is impossible to upgrade with just spare parts, for technical reasons. If it can be done, we'll do it, if not, we'll go ahead explaining why. Microsoft tried to please everyone without developing its own ecosystem, without watching what is going on, everything they designed has been made without any care for the future or organic interrelation with the rest, they developed just for consuming, copying everyone and the most important fact is what they've made till now, is ugly as hell in my opinion.
We tend to differ, one step at a time - of course, we are not comparing ourselves with Microsoft, just the example.

I thought we were getting pictures of the Heron deck today …

 

[perseas]

As you can see the deck of the Heron has a removable ring which creates a well for a future dripper mode and it has plenty of space to setup your coil.
