Thanks guys. I'm pleased with the results.

Perseas is this a V1 or V2? Were the GP letters filled in on V1 and outlined on V2?

This is a GP PAPS v1 from the first list on VaporWall, April 14 of 2012.
You've done a superb job of restoring it my friend!!!

Thank you Perseas! I'm fortunate to own a piece of GP history!

How can you tell? It would be amazing if there was an resource section on Vapourart to help owners identify the different versions.

You're welcome!

Τhis is a very good idea, maybe in the future we shall open a wiki about the different versions. Till then, I'll collect tips & tricks on another thread here on ECF.

How can I tell? The tube is v1, because of the way the letters is shaped on the tube and from the serial number.

The letter s in v2 has changed:

I learned two things today thanks to the Paps...don't do switch maintenance outside (spring lost to the abyss of my backyard) and have extra springs available. I really need to get to Home Depot and find some backup springs.

I've lost my spring twice (screw holding the button assembly came loose), once on a beach and the other time on a NYC sidewalk. Both times I've been able to find them but not without some luck. Please let us know if you find a comparable spring option.

Just wanted to drop by and give a special thanks to the gang at Vapour Art. There was a glitch in the check out procedure when I made my last order. I waited a month before sending an email to figure out what went wrong. Within 5 minutes I had a response. All I can say is wow. They apologized and shipped out my order with the new updated version(at no extra cost). I had the package within a few days. Thank you very much.

Next thing. I can't believe how nice and well made the new Paps is. The new switch is absolutely amazing. This mod hits hard!!!!!

Compare pictures of the LUX to the original paps (pre-V1). It's amazing how far they have come in about 2 yrs (of which I've only been vaping 5 months). You can see really see the evolution and refinement of the button, the font, materials, and machining.

Sorry if this is has already been answered... Will we be able to order the 18500 & 18650 tubes as well?

As I posted at the link of the announcement, we have available a few 18500 LUX tubes solely, the rest will be ready after 20 days. The aluminium bronze rods are special order and we are waiting them to arrive.
