So I had a juice accident last night and my X was covered in it. But I didn't have time to deal with it then or this morning. So I tore my whole X / SnP / Sofia apart and cleaned everything rather than just wiping it down etc.

There's a lot of pieces here …

Now, put em in a bag and shake it, then re-assemble them blind-folded (while timing yourself) - get back to us when you get it under 3 minutes...

Lol.

Shake it ? I almost feel like I should be wearing these to touch it …

Okay, I'll give boiling it a try. Do I just throw the whole thing in a pot and boil it or do I need to unravel it or what? Lol.. I feel silly boiling yarn xD

S'n'C Wick Preparation:



The S'n'C yarn needs adequate pre-boiling (20 minutes or more) to make it inert. I do it twice ~ initial boiling (with some salt added into it) for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse it well under running water, squeezed and reboil it again with regular water for another 10-15 minutes.



The drying process could be sped up exponentially by putting it thru a kitchen microwave (I do it for 3 minutes approx, depending on the quantity of course). Whereafter, double the desired length up and use some Kanthal to move the loop thru the coil (a tank RBA in this picture ~ works the same principally for Spheroid or K'funs or whatever).

Bottomline: The foregoing process is a must for the S'n'C or similar cotton yarns, including the Peashes'n'Cream, which ensures that our wick remains un-sensitized to the vagaries of our juices (it's flavor and taste in particular) and we get the best out of our vape, vis-a-vis VTF.

Note: Remember, cotton WILL taste cottony for a while... however I've observed that this processing 'contains' that off-taste effectively... remains "only" for the first few draws (typically for 4-5 draws, under 8-9 at max) and then there's no holding back the 'real' taste of our juice/s.

Hope that helped.

Pulled a full single piece of SnC through my coil (after much rolling/squeezing) and trimmed it ~1mm longer than the deck.

Wow, working great! Unscrew the tank to check, looks good. Bam dry hits. Rewick leaving ~3mm longer than the deck. Working good so far, too scared to check it.

I'll get her figured out. Hopefully before my micro stick shows up :D

Micro Coil Jig, a must have. Darkzero made me a couple and they are priceless. No reason to crimp the coil before installing as they are fairly tight. Set it in the atty and get it hot and just a little pressure.

They are small and are solid. Pics for size - With GP in 500 mode and in my large pizza box size pimp hands :).

Nice idaho... i was gonna get one of those a while ago but didnt really wanna spend the cash. Totally forgot about them.

Well worth it, saves my eyes and takes about 6 seconds to wrap a perfect micro every time.
Thinking about selling pre wrapped micro coils on EBay :laugh:

Next day spheriod arrived togheter with upgrade GPin ( wich make the paps X even better !!! )
First tryed to build the spheriod, but had no luck !
Tryed for hours and hours, get so frustrated that send an email to vapourart !
By that time my fingers where bleeding and I was really frustrated so the email wasent as Nice as it shoot.
I get a really quick answer and they went above and behond to help me out !!
Togheter whe figured out ( after plenty e-mails ) that they replace this spheriod and sent me on other one, they even upgrade it for me so I dont get sore fingers Anny more !!!
It was also deliverd the next day, this one is streaming like a train !!
So I want to apolledige for my first frustrated mail to GP team but really want to say that there customer service is something else !

Glad you got the spheroid up and running. They are great atomizers. I myself am new around these parts and love hearing all the great customer service stories. GP is the real deal!

So I really wanted to use my X in 350 mode but all I have are EFEST that are a bit too long. I ordered some AWs from wonderlite today but he seems to be absent right now. They'll get here eventually.

Anyhow, I remember a few days back Perseas mentioned that someone on another forum ended up cutting the Gpin spring in half to get them to fit without a gap.

Now, I'm not suggesting people do this. And I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with the X as it comes. It's more a stupid battery thing and wanting options other than 650 for the time being.

Well I'm happy to say that it worked out really well. I got a really nice clean cut on the spring , and after doing some multimeter tests with both springs there is no noticeable VD between the two.

Currently enjoying my X in 350 with my Spheroid. What an amazing compact little setup this is. I wanted it more pocket friendly for work and this certainly does the trick. With an SnP on top it's barely taller than just my Provari mini, which is crazy.

Your English is not bad, you should read/hear my German :D
Glad to hear that Perseas and Team sorted you out so quickly - they are very good that way.
Difficult to get this kind of customer service anywhere these days.
Enjoy the Paps X and the Spheroid! :)

Welcome aboard Route!

It was nice to hear your thoughts and the escapade... and Congratulations on getting two of the superfine vape devices money can buy! The "X" and the Spheroid amazes us everyday... so would you be with every passing day!

Ps.: We'd love to hear from you more often, your composition was well, while we fear our Dutch would attract much chagrin ;)
