I'm really liking my ss 2.5

any plans to make a drip atomizer? maybe one that threads directly onto the tube?

Yes, the plans are ready, the spare CNC machines are missing :)

From September and onwards, we shall do it.

Question about the SnP.

Does it come with the Diver or is that something that has to be purchased separately?

Is that something that is going to be available through Domo or only the Vapour Art site?

We have a small quantity of Divers and they can be bought optionally with the SnP from our store. We did it to help our customers save some shipping cost. If any of our resellers wants them, they have to speak with Konstantinos from Atmistique, the maker of Diver.

In 1-2 days, I'll post pictures of the bead blasted GP Spheroid.
I post this photo of bead blasted GP Piccolo v3.1 just for reference. The GP Spheroid in the photo is a brushed one. The drip tip is a prototype GP vase, the final version is longer, in order to be convenient for people with moustache.

beautiful drip tip and looks to be the perfect length. My girlfriend has a mustache and she likes it too....

True. That drip-tip looks right sized for the Spheroid. Hope Perseas doles out this version as well.

^ lol

polished up my lux button and i can see a bit where the silver is bleeding through but thats only under good light really looking at it. can i polish up the end where the left hand nut screw on to get better continuity?

You'll get better conductivity, but the difference is so trivial that I doubt if you ever notice it.

No, they aren't, but between the batches we have reports of parts that need replacement, because they have slipped our QC and the tolerance is very small in the moving parts. From the last 900 units of v2.5, we had till now 10-20 reports in which we changed parts or the whole switch.

To put this into perspective, cell phone non-accident failure rates for major manufacturers runs around 2-4% in the first 12 months, and including accidents the total 12-month failure rate runs about 12-17%. Perseas' rate is running 1.1-2.2% out the door. This is very impressive.

Note that failure rates for mass-produced items tend to fall over time, as the manufacturing process is tweaked and adjusted. Thus, boutique products, with production runs in the thousands instead of the millions, always have much higher non-accident failure rates. This is why your average Ferrari needs more maintenance than a Mercedes.

I'd rather spend a little more time in the shop with a Ferrari. And if you can afford it, just get two Ferraris, for when one needs to go to the shop.

Nice,
I just pmd Shawnski about the service we get from King Perseas. Honestly, There are a couple of us that think he is too nice sometimes.
Where could you ever find this service anywhere in our Vaping world? The time he spends online with us is priceless.
I don't even look at American pv's any longer. My money goes to Perseas, my wife, and our friend Imeo as I am preparing my Greek pv army :).
When Perseas takes over as the leader of Greece and kicks the bad politicians out, our job will be complete :).

agree... i couldn't believe it; first GP (new Lux).... wasn't expecting a home delivery, but wow... to my door in very little time all the way to Hawaii!
I usually don't answer phone calls much if i don't know who's calling, and the delivery service called twice to notify of hand delivery. I was blown away.

Thank you for this analysis my friend!

I have to add that due to adjustments and minor improvements during the release of a version in a form of continuous batches, we have variable failure rates. In the last batch we returned to a certain CNC shop a lot of switch bases for making them again, while in the first batch of v2.5 we returned only 5 units. I speak here for parts that never passed our QC, but delayed the current release for 2 weeks.

Another thing we have always in mind is that mods are not exactly standard products, but devices under an ongoing evolution. Therefore, we want to support you after the sale to ensure what has been delivered to you, it will be functional for a long time.

I strongly believe that honesty is the most critical factor for success and longevity in every relation, financial or not. From the feedback we have gathered till now, we are convinced that we are in the right path. We are not perfect, but we correct any wrong as soon as possible.

I want to thank you all of you for the support and no matter what version of our mods you have, we'll find a solution in any issue definitely:)

Hey Perseas I have a question for u or if anyone here can answe it for me, I saw this new mod called the gp x , it has a air flow cap and some type of extension. When is this mod going to b available?

We have it almost ready, but first we must make the anticipated batch for GP Spheroid v2, GP SnP, GP Piccolo v2.6 v3.1, GP PAPS LUX v2.5 and SS Edition v2.5 with the consequent spare parts and then to release the GP PAPS X. During August it will be at our store, just before we close for summer vacations.

The main reason I love this community so much is the lack of big business. The more "civilized" countries(I use that term lightly) have been so accustomed to. This has ruined some of the human interaction in trade. There is no forgivness from lack of knowledge. There is only greed and blame as it is the consumers fault if anything is wrong with the product once it leaves retailers hands. Sure we have some mass produced items. There are also some modders that are just doing this for the coin.

So far in my experience I have had very nice corresponds with many of the "high end" market. Never have been judged on lack of knowledge. I have not had an email ignored. This is the very reason I have waited for certain mods and attys.

I greatly appreciate Perseas, Katerina, Matt, Imeo, and David as well as many others I have not personally dealt with. Some day I want to own my own mod shop and make my own mods. But duty to my country and family has to come first. So for now I will be a happy consumer and support the retailers and manufacturers that deserve the support.

Sup everyone, sorry if this question has been asked before, but I just picked up the GP 2.5 SS and I was wondering will the Lux tubes fit if I bought say an 18650 tube to switch out with my 18350 SS tube version? Thanks in advance, oh and BTW I love my GP 2.5 SS the switch on this thing is amazing and it hits like a beast as well...........
