Hello everyone, Can we keep this thread to just product information and questions about products? I don't mean to be an ...... but I prefer not to read about people's purchasing experiences and technical issues on this thread.

Then don't be. Not quite sure any of us care what you think.
Perseas seems to have no trouble answering technical issues and/or questions here. We all help each other here. Then there is you.
The excitement is to show respect to Perseas and his work. Go find another thread to be a downer in. Oh, did I mention that Im pretty happy for another PAPS and for the other items I ordered? and from the looks of it, there are others.
Couldn't find something else to protest today in Cali?
GL:)
Thanks Perseas, even though site was slow, you came through once again. Your dedication and your work is over the top. We all love your products and your customer service. You are the best.

I don't believe the purpose of this thread is to read that your computer is "loading and loading.". This means nothing to no one else but you. I come on this thread to read about vapourart products, of which I have a lot of respect for. You "trying to check out...c'mon c'mon" does nothing to further the purpose of this thread.

Was quite a downer in my moment of elation. I'm fine though, was merely a flesh wound.

So, anyway...

What's the deal with the gold plating, is that an upgrade switch only or also on the latest 2.1 batch? I assumed they're just brass but maybe I missed something. Also, does an exploded PAPS diagram exist, like the one for Piccolo?

Still here? Now I'm reading your half baked meaningless post and I'm ok with that. Did it take a lot of your valuable time to skip them?
There are so many things in life to be concerned with such as cancer, corrupt governments, hunger, freedom, babies dying, etc., yet you choose this thread. Interesting. Relax enjoy the ride.
I choose to give Perseas his thread back. My apologies Perseas my friend and most of everyone else.

What is gold plated on the new switches? Just the firing pin and/or the visible part on the bottom?

Ordered a 24k upgrade kits today for my 2 paps, another button and a top cap :)

GP PAPS parts in a sequential order heh? It is pretty simple to assemble it, so I didn't think that an exploded view is needed. I'll upload later a photo of this kind.

It is only a few optional pieces in the last 2 batches, 24k gold over nickel plated brass posts, and they give an improvement of conductivity, when they are both combined, the gold plated telescopic post and the gold plated button.

The coming gold edition of GP PAPS v2.1 shall have 24k gold over silver plated brass contacts and very hard brass tubes as default configuration. They are still in production.

No need to go to extra trouble just for me, I figure things out quickly without diagrams. I noticed the piccolo has quite a few pieces in the switch mechanism and thought maybe PAPS was similar, and would be nice to have the diagram to identify them all if one existed. That and it would make a nice geeky wallpaper for my pc while I wait for shipments. I'm sure you have more important things to concentrate on, right now. :)

Perseas, are you finding much less resistance with the gold switch as oppossed to the brass? It's rather genius of you to plate the switch as there must be a difference.

The total gain in conductivity when both post are gold plated is 0,15-0,20 V measured with a GP Spheroid at 1,8Ω, 2,0Ω, 2,2Ω on a SS GP PAPS v2.1.

Will the paps x be released in greater quantity than today's batch of v2.1?

Today's batch is a part of the current production, another batch will come in 2-3 days.
We are a very small team and we release our mods in mini batches in order to be able to handle the delivery and the after sales communication with our customers.

We continuously increase our production, but if we choose to work through vendors for instant availability, then we shall increase the price of our mods. Vendors have to live too :)
