My revised top cap came in today :D! I haven't sat down to really compare the old with the new, but my initial impression is that the draw using the new cap with the Squape is more open. Win!

This may or may not actually be the case since the airflow hole on the Squape is the bottleneck, but it sure seems like the draw has loosened up. Whether or not the improvement is just in my head, big props to Perseas for sending these out--he totally didn't have to do it or send them free of charge. Now I just need to mail back the old one :p. You are a benevolent god among modders Perseas. Thank you!

Got my first of two GP vape mails. Perseas, the SS tank is a thing of beauty!

I got some vapemail today, folks. I have never dealt with any vaping-related ebusiness who ships so quickly in the entire 13 months of my vaping life. I placed my order at Domo on a late Friday night from the other end of this country. Monday it is in my mailbox! Are you serious? This is rediculous.

Photos are forthcoming, folks. I'm still in shock by it all. Did I mention this is the first Mechanical I have ever used? I think I am in love. The switch is as elegant as Scott Bonner described on the Paps X and even with a 1.7ohm single-coil mini cartomizer w/ a super shorty drip tip, it's height is still less than the height of my lucky coffee mug.

I seriously feel like it was worth the wait to dive into higher end-tier level Mechs like the GP series Paps X and even the SS-2.5. Even though I bought a longer 18650 SS tube (18500 was out of stock). I believe I love the Paps X more! I will now save some coin for either a LUX edition or one of VapourArt's 14500 mods who I've nicknamed Ba Gua killers. Just kidding, RHP is a lover not a fighter folks!

Do any of you more seasoned GP'ers prefer to use a magnetic safety battery fuse or is that redundancy unnecessary when you're using a Kick V1? Say for example, I'm vaping a LR cartomizer or one of my 1.5ohm HH.357 hybrid atomizers, would you still recommend a vape safe (or smoktech) safety fuse be used at all times? Or could that compress the spring too much (without adjustments) ? I only use nippletop AW IMR 18xxx batteries.

God bless the Greek folks! Ya'll are brilliant and now you can say that you have a loyal fan here deep in the heart of south-central Amish country here in 'merica! I also managed to place an order at ByLeo.Eu for a ΣΟΦΙΑ along with a couple pre-assembled coils in their ceramic cups (I presume it's R-NR-R) last night!

I am as excited as you can be legally, lemme tell ya. I may not just bring photos to the table, I may also make videos of me using your product and ake them open-source so the whole world can the difference VapourArt has made in my life. Thank you for giving this ol' dog a second chance at life while having so much fun at the same time!

I know what ya mean pat, I ordered the same night, and my mailman switched the route around so now I get the mail at 11 instead of 230.

so boy was I excited to see DELIVERED when I checked the tracking.

Biggie, great to hear that I'm not the only one who gets excited over such small things. :) Sometimes (like during tonight's unboxing event which took place on the floor of my living room) my better-half rolls her eyes and calls me a Dork!!

Do you happen to know any online companies who specialize in engraving Mechanical mods? I would really be interested in having my serial number permenantly attached to my name like RHP or RedhatPat, ya know?

Awesome - so you're the guy who took the X out of my cart before i could pull the trigger... ;)

I can't say this about ANY other company, but buy anything GP with full confidence that it is the best example of design, materials, and craft that you can purchase today. I not just a fan-boy - I'm a life-customer. :D

And if perchance you get a less-than-perfect piece, Perseas and the Ob (of domo) will take care of you quickly and professionally. No one could ask for more! The really priceless part is the camaraderie from being part of the GP family here. I have never experienced anything quite like it. Everyone here passes it forward - it's just amazing!

OK, just went and checked it out. Perseas, when it says limited edition for the SS tank, how limited is that... lol. Should I order one ASAP just incase I order an SnP at some point (which I think I will in about a month, along with a ProRing).

I have to correct the description, we had produced a few pieces pieces initially, so I think you can wait, no rush.

Curisu, thank you brother. I really feel the love here. Now we can sing Kumbaya and do trust falls!

After I applied a little noalax to one of the mid-sections of the tube, the threads are buttery smooth now, almost orgasmic-like :laugh: I haven't had the opportunity to speak to Ob yet, just blake and that was over an ordering problem I encountered when I fumbled up the billing address form.

I have briefly seen perseas but that is only because I just recently became aware of VapourArt, GP, and this wonderful thread -- saw the light! Once I get my feet wet at rebuilding, I really feel my bank account will plummet but my inner-child will be rejuvenated yet again (only occured one other time and that was when I discovered the wonderful world of bottom juice feeding box mods, aka. The legendary Reos 7-8 months ago).

Were you able to sell your Diver and Grail yet? I have been away from ECF all day so I have some catching up to do. I might even clean my room so that when I take a photo of my beautiful GP Paps X it looks better than ever. Who knew a mod could encourage such behavior. The miracle of vaping never cease to amaze me, folks.

Thank you very much, we feel happy when people like our work. It encourages us to improve our mods further.

As a tribute to Perseas and all the GP family from VapourArt who use his delivery devices 'n batteries to stay off the analogs happily, here is a short ten minute video of amazing people, because each and everyone of you are amazing to me.
